	Thimerosal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thimerosal was developed and registered under the trade name Merthiolate in 1929 by the Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical company, Eli Lilly and marketed as an antibacterial and antifungal agent.
		Notably, critics of the use of thimerosal suspect that the establishment consisting of pharmaceutical companies [1] [2], the government [3] [4], and medical organizations have a strong interest in denying such a connection for fear of financial liability and widespread distrust in vaccinations in general.
		Thimerosal is used in multi-dose vaccine vials in effort to reduce the likelihood of microbial contamination.

	Thimerosal in Vaccines
		Thimerosal is a mercury-containing organic compound (an organomercurial).
		Thimerosal has been removed from or reduced to trace amounts in all vaccines routinely recommended for children 6 years of age and younger, with the exception of inactivated influenza vaccine (see Table 1).
		Thimerosal in concentrations of 0.001% (1 part in 100,000) to 0.01% (1 part in 10,000) has been shown to be effective in clearing a broad spectrum of pathogens.
