From Breitbart: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who led the push for more than 20 years, confirmed the move on Saturday, blasting federal health agencies for allowing a known neurotoxin to be injected into pregnant women and children for decades.
In a detailed video statement, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that thimerosal, a mercury based preservative still found in flu shots given to children and pregnant women, has now been fully banned in the United States.
Kennedy cited peer-reviewed studies and official government documentation identifying thimerosal as a neurotoxin, carcinogen, mutagen, and reproductive toxicant. “The amount of ethylmercury in the flu shot that CDC just banned under my order is 25,000 times the EPA’s safety level for drinking water,” he said.
“I’m proud to finally deliver on a long-overdue promise: protecting our most vulnerable from unnecessary mercury exposure,” Kennedy posted on X.
