It makes reference to a study called "Low-level neonatal thimerosal exposure: Long-term consequences in the brain," published in the journal Neurotoxicology in 2008, & co-authored by UC Davis Professor Emeritus Robert Berman.

in reply to Nonilex • • •But acc/to Berman, "it's not making reference to a study I published or carried out."
Berman said he co-authored a similarly named study in a different journal - Toxicological Sciences - that came to different conclusions than those suggested by Redwood.
"We did not examine the effects of thimerosal in microglia... I do not endorse this misrepresentation of the research," he said.
Reuters is the first to report on the inaccurate citation from Redwood's planned presentation.
