Merck's Infant Vaccine
Merck's infant vaccine stirs new controversy
Los Angeles Times/Newsday, March 8, 2005
Merck told us they had stopped using mercury preservatives in infant vaccines, but didn't tell us they would keep distributing the stockpile for two more years.
Merck & Co. has continued to supply infant vaccines containing a mercury preservative for two years, after declaring that it had eliminated the chemical. Thimerosal is nearly 50 percent ethyl mercury. Ethyl mercury has largely been eliminated from most routine childhood vaccines, although it is present in most flu shots. More than 4,200 parents have filed claims in the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that their children have suffered autism and other neurological disorders from the mercury in their children's inoculations.
