Exclusive: US #CDC #vaccine presentation cites study that does not exist, author says

A review on the use of the preservative thimerosal in vaccines slated to be presented on Thursday to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's outside vaccine committee cites a study that does not exist, the scientist listed as the study's author said.

Both #Republican US Senator #BillCassidy of Louisiana & #Democratic US Senator #PattyMurray of Washington said the June 25 & 26 meeting should be postponed.

The summary of the presentation suggested that there are enough thimerosal-free #flu #vaccines & that all #pregnant #women, #infants & #children should receive only those shots. It was not clear if the new advisory panel would be asked to vote on such a move.

Redwood's presentation was in contrast to a separate report posted by #CDC staff on the CDC website on Tuesday that says evidence does not support a link between thimerosal-containing #vaccines & #autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders.

Kennedy has long pushed a link between vaccines & autism contrary to scientific evidence.

But acc/to Berman, "it's not making reference to a study I published or carried out."

Berman said he co-authored a similarly named study in a different journal - Toxicological Sciences - that came to different conclusions than those suggested by Redwood.

"We did not examine the effects of thimerosal in microglia... I do not endorse this misrepresentation of the research," he said.

Reuters is the first to report on the inaccurate citation from Redwood's planned presentation.

The meeting has become increasingly controversial after #Health Secretary #RFKJr just weeks ago abruptly fired all previous 17 members of the expert panel & named 8 new members, half of whom have advocated against #vaccines.

Kennedy, a long-time #AntiVaccine activist, founded the Children's Health Defense.
