A C.D.C. Committee Voted Against Flu Shots With This Preservative. Is It Safe? 美國疾病管制與預防中心委員會投票反對使用這種防腐劑的流感疫苗。它安全嗎？為美國疾病管制與預防中心（CDC）提供疫苗諮詢的專家小組週四投票決定，不再建議每年接種含有防腐劑硫柳汞的流感疫苗。
此舉證實了長期以來被推翻的理論，即硫柳汞這種近一個世紀以來一直用於疫苗的成分與神經發育問題有關。醫學專家表示，這項決定也與美國免疫實踐諮詢委員會（ACIP）基於堅實科學數據做出決策的傳統背道而馳。
「ACIP 會盡可能基於科學證據提出建議，」兒科傳染病流行病學專家、該小組的投票成員科迪·邁斯納博士說道。
「沒有科學證據表明硫柳汞造成了問題，」他補充道。An expert panel that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccines voted Thursday to no longer recommend annual flu shots that contain the preservative thimerosal. The move gives credence to the long debunked theory that the ingredient — which has been used in vaccines for nearly a century — is linked to neurodevelopmental problems. Medical experts said the decision also represents a jarring departure from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices history of making decisions based on strong scientific data. “A.C.I.P. makes recommendations based on scientific evidence as much as possible,” said Dr. Cody Meissner, an expert in pediatric infectious disease epidemiology and voting member of the panel. “There is no scientific evidence that thimerosal has caused a problem,” he added. |
