The ‘Truth’ About The Toxicity Of Thimerosal

[BASED ON THE FDA-RECOGNIZED, ADULT-RAT, CHRONIC-TOXICITY STUDY REPORTED IN: MASON MM, CATE CC, BAKER J. CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY, 1971; 4(2): 185-204. TOXICOLOGY AND CARCINOGENESIS OF VARIOUS CHEMICALS USED IN THE PREPARATION OF VACCINES (MASON ET AL. 1971)]

In 1971, Mason et al. reported, among other results, their findings from chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity studies using adult rats of both sexes that utilized a 1-year dosing period and a 2-year overall study interval.
