Thimerosal is a neuro-toxin which used to be included in many children's vaccines.
It is still used in children's vaccines abroad and in the US in flu shots and allergy patches.
Is thought to be a contributor to autism in children.
Kennedy's argument is if there are alternatives to this toxin for vaccines then drug manufacturers should use that instead. Seems like a valid argument to me.
