(Reuters) -A view of preservative thyrosalic vaccines planned on Thursday to present the U.S. Disease Control and Prevention External Vaccine Committee centers quoted a non -existent study.
A report published on Tuesday on the CDC website, entitled Thimerosal as a Vaccine Preservative, must present Lyn Redwood, a former Children’s Health Defense leader in the AntiCaccine Group.
This indicates a study called “low -level neonatal thyrosal effects: long -term consequences in the brain, published in 2008. Neurotoxicology magazine and authors led by Robert Berman, Emeritus of UC Davis Professor.
However, according to Berman, “this is not a reference to the study I published or did.”
Berman said he, along with a similar research in another magazine – toxicological sciences – that made different conclusions than proposed by Redwood.
“We did not study the consequences of Thimerosal in the micro -cord … I don’t confirm this false investigation,” he said.
Reuters first reports an inaccurate quote from Redwood’s planned delivery.
The meeting became increasingly controversial after the Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suddenly dismissed all the previous 17 members of the Group of experts a few weeks ago and called eight new members, half of whom spoke against the vaccines.
Kennedy, a longtime anti -accin activist, founded children’s health defense.
Both Republican US Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and US Democratic Senator Patty Murray from Washington said June 25 and 26. The meeting should be delayed.
The delivery summary states that there are enough influenza vaccinations and that all pregnant women, babies and children should only get those shots. It was not clear whether the new advisory group would be asked to vote on such a move.
Unlike Tuesday, Redwood’s presentation on the CDC website published a report published by CDC staff staff stating that evidence does not confirm the link between thimerosal vaccines and autism or other neurodegenerative disorders.
Kennedy has long pushed the connection between vaccines and autism contrary to scientific evidence.
Redwood could not be immediately reached to comment. A HHS spokesman said the study was a study of toxicological sciences, which Berman said he had been misrepresented.
The CDC briefing material reviewed some studies on neurodevelopmental results and vaccines containing thimerosal, which has long been used in US multiple doses of medicines and vaccines to prevent germs from growing.
According to the CDC report, 96% of all influenza vaccines in the US were not free during the 2024-25 flu season. She also added that the number of pregnant women receiving a flu vaccine with thyrosalo has decreased over time by 0.3% of doses of 2024.
2014 Kennedy wrote a book, stating that Thimerosal, a Mercury -based preservative, causes brain damage.
On Monday, Cassidy, who heads the US Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee, urged him to postpone the meeting, saying he should not take place with a relatively small commission and without the CDC director.
Murray, a senior member and former chairman of the Assistance Committee, also called for the return of the dismissed commission or the meeting was postponed until the new members are properly checked.
