A roughly three-minute set of remarks by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. urging parties to the Minamata Convention on Mercury to remove the treatys exception for thimerosal in vaccines. He argued thimerosal is a neurotoxin, said the United States has moved to remove it from vaccines, and called on global health authorities and treaty parties to act. The remarks were a public statement rather than a formal agenda item and did not include motions or votes.
