Meissner also spent time in the committee. “So, among all the issues that I think we need to focus on ACIP, this is not a big issue. … No study has ever indicated any damage from Thimerosal. It has been used in vaccines … before the Second World War.

But he expressed concern that it could be removed from the vaccine used globally.

“ACIP recommendations have been made in many countries around the world,” he said. “And removing Thimerosal from all vaccines used in other countries, for example, is going to reduce access to these vaccines.”

Disinterest

Finally, the seven-member panel voted only in favor of recommending seasonal flu vaccines, which did not have Thimerosal. There were three different votes for this, which were recommended for children, pregnant women, and all adults, but all with the same result: five ‘yes’ votes, not ‘votes (one’ vote (measiner), and an avoidance of activist and nurse Vicky. After the vote, Pabsworth clarified that it did not support the use of Thimerosal in vaccines, but there was a curvature about how the voting questions were written.

In a brief presentation before the vote, ACIP President Martin Kulladorf made a brief presentation on the MMRV vaccine (measles, kanthamala, rubella and varichela/chickenpox). He prevailing a proposed recommendation to vote in the future meeting, which would also remove the CDC recommendation for the vaccine.
