thimerosal

Definitions

Examples

• There were no studies showing ANY ill effects from thimerosal, but the government told vaccine-makers to stop including it in certain vaccines for fear that parents would stop vaccinating kids.

• Sure, I can counsel concerned parents that none of the childhood vaccines I will be administering contain thimerosal.

• The possible link between thimerosal and autism has been investigated and found not to exist in study after study after study.

• There are always common-sense precautions to take when getting vaccinated, such as requesting a Thimerosal-free version.

• One of the ingredients in thimerosal is mercury, a known toxin.

• Clearly, something other than thimerosal is to blame for this troubling trend.
