Your task is to predict the verdict of a claim based on the provided question-answer pair evidence. The possible labels are: 'Supported', 'Refuted', 'Not Enough Evidence', 'Conflicting Evidence/Cherrypicking'. Justify your answer using the provided evidence and select the correct label.

Claim: Mercury (aka thimerosal or thiomersal) is in vaccines and can damage the brain, gut, liver, bone marrow, nervous system, and kidneys. It is linked to autoimmune disorders, including autism.

Q1: Is the mercury-based chemical thiomersal (also known as thimerosal) found in vaccines?
A1: Thiomersal was removed from UK vaccines between 2003 and 2005, and is no longer found in any of the childhood or adult vaccines routinely used in the UK. Before 2005, thiomersal was present in diphtheria- and tetanus-containing vaccines, as well as hepatitis B vaccine and some flu vaccines. It was not used in the MMR vaccine, the Hib vaccine, the MenC vaccine, the oral polio vaccine or the BCG vaccine. Thiomersal was present in the Swine Flu (H1N1) vaccine Pandemrix, used in the 2009-10 and 2010-11 flu seasons in the UK. However, it is not present in any of the annual flu vaccines currently in use in the UK.

Q2: Why was the mercury-based chemical thiomersal (also known as thimerosal) removed from vaccines?
A2: In the US, UK and Europe, thiomersal was removed from vaccines as a precaution. This was in line with the global goal of reducing environmental exposure to mercury from all sources.

Q3: Was the mercury-based chemical thiomersal (also known as thimerosal) in vaccines harmful to humans?
A3: ...there was no evidence that thiomersal in vaccines caused harm. Thiomersal contains a compound called ethyl mercury, but concern about mercury in the environment has centred on a different compound called methyl mercury, which accumulates in the food chain and in the human body.

Q4: Is there a link between thiomersal (also known as thimerosal) in vaccines and developing autism?
A4: In a 2016 study called "Vaccines are not associated with autism: An evidence-based meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies," it was found that the components of the vaccines (thimerosal or mercury) are not associated with the development of autism or autism spectrum disorder.

Q5: Does the mercury-based chemical thiomersal (also known as thimerosal) in vaccines cause side effects?
A5: There are some side effects of thimerosal in vaccines.
The most common side-effects are minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site. Although rare, some people may be allergic to thimerosal.

Q6: Is Thiomersal  still found in vaccines in 2019?
A6: No, because they are no longer found in any of the childhood or adult vaccines
