26. It was never in the MMR

it was in other vaccines, however, and is still in the injectable flu vaccines.

Antivaxers don't even have the decency to admit that taking thimerosol out of mandated vaccinations didn't produce a drop in autism rates. In fact, they have risen. The antivaxesrs, Kennedy included, either move the goalposts or pretend thimerosol, exonerated from any role in autism, is still in all vaccines.

I agree that Kennedy should never be offered a microphone again until he catches up and catches a clue. Too many people are follow-the-leader on this stuff and having him spout rubbish on air gives that rubbish the stamp of approval when it should be thoroughly discredited by someone who actually knows what he is talking about.
