A CDC vaccine committee review citing a nonexistent study to link thimerosal in vaccines to neurological harm has sparked controversy. The report, authored by a former anti-vaccine group leader, misrepresented a study by Robert Berman. This comes after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. replaced the committee's members with individuals who have expressed anti-vaccine views. Senators Cassidy and Murray have called for the meeting's postponement due to concerns over the panel's legitimacy and the inaccurate information presented. The CDC maintains that evidence doesn't support a link between thimerosal and autism.
