Directly from the rear book jacket:

“You’ve had a definitive test as far as I’m concerned regarding Thimerosal safety. I mean, that study that Bill Thompson performed at the CDC in 2007. It was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.[It] was a wonderful study. I think that stands as a definitive study.”
—DR. PAUL A. OFFIT, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia,
interview in the film Trace Amounts

“I don’t know why they still give it [flu shots with Thimerosal]to pregnant women—that’s the last person I would give mercury to . . . Thimerosal causes tics . . . do you think a pregnant mother would take a vaccine that they knew caused tics? . . . Absolutely not! I would never give my wife a vaccine that I thought caused tics.”
—DR. WILLIAM THOMPSON, CDC senior scientist, author of multiple studies used to claim Thimerosal is safe,
recorded phone conversation with Dr. Brian Hooker, May 8, 2014

“Now, we all know that vaccines can occasionally cause fevers in kids. So if a child was immunized, got a fever, had other complications from the vaccines. And if you’re predisposed with the mitochondrial disorder, it can certainly set off some damage. Some of the symptoms can be symptoms that have characteristics of autism.”
—DR. JULIE GERBERDING, CDC director (2001–2009), president, Merck Vaccines (2009–present),
interview with Sanjay Gupta on CNN, March 29, 2008

Relevance to OP? Key personnel overlap. Similar to current concerns or not? Time will tell.

The Agent Orange Coverup: A Case of Flawed Science and Political Manipulation Paperback – 1990

by Committee on Government Operations (Author)
Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office (1990
)


BACKGROUND:

"...From 1983 to 1987, Congress appointed CDC to find links between Agent Orange, with the U.S. Air Force’s Operation Ranch Hand during the Vietnam War, and the U.S. troops on the ground that fell ill with rare cancers many years later.

The Agent Orange Coverup: A Case of Flawed Science and Political Manipulation report, published by the 101st Congress on August 9, 1990, revealed CDC spent $51 million out of a budgeted $71 million, but quit doing the study in 1987, claiming there was not enough field data to finish the study. That despite the fact the U.S. Army had archived the field records on troop deployments in Pennsylvania, a short drive from Washington, DC, where the Congressional hearings took place.

CDC’s Dr. Coleen Boyle, who was the principle investigator, stood at the proscenium of the Agent Orange studies. Since then, she has been promoted all the way up to director of CDC’s National Center of Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities division today."

Interestingly, the statement on dissenting views is signed by Hon. Richard Armey who later claimed responsibility for the highly controversial (at the time) Lilly Rider: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-man-behind-the-vaccine-mystery/
