(Gateway Pundit) U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced what may be one of the most important health policy decisions in decades: a full federal ban on the use of mercury-based preservative thimerosal in vaccines.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. issued a sweeping executive order on July 23, 2025, mandating vaccine manufacturers to eliminate the mercury‑based preservative thimerosal from all influenza vaccine formulations sold in the United States.
Kennedy justified the move by citing long-held claims that prenatal exposure to even tiny doses of ethylmercury in multi‑dose vials can lead to “mild to severe mental retardation” in unborn children.
