RFK Jr’s CDC Panel Bans Vaccine Preservative—Science Sobs Quietly

The CDC’s new vaccine advisory panel just voted to remove thimerosal—a widely studied, FDA-approved preservative—from flu shots.
Not because of new science. Not because of a public health risk.
But because the panel is now chaired by people who get their medical opinions from wellness blogs and Facebook comment sections.
This is the same preservative that’s been used safely in multi-dose vaccines for over 70 years.
It's been studied more than most prescription drugs.
Every major health body—from the WHO to the American Academy of Pediatrics—has signed off on its safety.
But thanks to RFK Jr.’s war on modern medicine, that stamp just got shredded.
The new panel has zero immunologists.
Instead, it includes “alternative health advocates,” one celebrity naturopath, and a self-identified “vaccine questioner” whose background is in chiropractic care and “energy healing.” Science didn’t just leave the room—it got pushed down the stairs.
The decision was pitched as a “precautionary step,” though there's been no evidence that thimerosal causes harm.
In reality, it’s political theatre designed to appease anti-vax groups who treat preservatives like poison and pharmaceutical companies like Bond villains.
The panel calls it transparency. Doctors call it pandering. Public health officials are furious.
Not because thimerosal was vital (most single-dose flu shots don’t even use it anymore), but because it sets a precedent: ideology over evidence.
It tells the public that anti-vax messaging works if you shout loud enough and run for office with the right last name.
And the damage? Subtle but dangerous.
People will hear “banned” and think “unsafe.” That confusion spreads faster than any virus.
It gives vaccine skeptics more fuel and forces medical professionals to spend time debunking nonsense instead of saving lives.
RFK Jr.
says it’s about “freedom and choice.” Doctors say it’s about politics over patients.
One infectious disease expert put it bluntly: “We’re not just unlearning science—we’re burning the textbooks.” So, thimerosal’s out.
Facts are optional.
And if you need a flu shot this season, maybe ask if it comes with a side of peer review—because the CDC sure isn’t serving it anymore.
