One FDA Hand Doesn’t Know What the Other FDA Hand is Doing
It seems ludicrous for one arm of the FDA, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), which regulates over-the-counter products to find that thimerosal and other mercury products are not generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) while CBER allows their widespread use in over 120 vaccines and other prescription products. In 1998, FDA issued final rules banning thimerosal and mercury product use in over-the-counter products. Our goal at Children’s Health Defense is to extend that ban to all use of mercury in medical products both in the United States and worldwide.
