Critical assessment of CDC's "Questions and answers: Thimerosal-containing influenza vaccine"

Abstract

The review that follows is a critical assessment of the information published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) entitled, Questions & Answers: Thimerosal-containing influenza vaccine, published at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/thimerosal .htm on September 22, 2005, (and included in Appendix C) which I visited as a part of my research in this area on September 25, 2005. In general, to clearly differentiate between my assessment comments and those of the author, the author’s printed statements are quoted in a bold or regular Arial font followed by this reviewer’s remarks in a Times New Roman font. Should anyone find any factual misrepresentations in this reviewer’s remarks, then this reviewer requests that the factual error along with the scientifically sound and appropriate facts that prove your point to this reviewer so that this reviewer can learn from you, incorporate that new knowledge into his understanding, and, where indicated, correct the draft. © Copyright 2005 Pearblossom Private School, Inc.–Publishing Division.
