From earlier this year, but very relevant.
Relevant, because aluminum is used as a primary adjuvant in pediatric vaccines. The hepatitis B vaccine, given on the first day of life, contains 250 mcg of aluminum. Several months later, an infant is given multiple injections at once, with varying levels of aluminum, all in one doctor’s visit. How are these vaccines, and adjuvants, interacting with one another? No one knows, because there have never been tests done to ensure the safety of combining vaccines. This is something that would never be done with any other pharmaceutical, yet it occurs regularly in regard to vaccines. Children regularly receive the live-virus MMR vaccine in conjunction with the aluminum-boosted Dtap. How is the aluminum affecting the body’s response to the MMR? The aluminum is used to trigger an immune response so the body will manufacture antibodies. But what else is the body manufacturing antibodies to fend off? Could it be that the vaccine induces the production of antibodies for proteins present throughout the recipient’s body? Is this why almost every vaccine injury manifests as an autoimmune disorder, where the recipient’s immune system begins attacking the body? This is a scandal of mammoth proportions, the biggest that the pharmaceutical industry will have ever seen. It might cause the public to lose faith in the vaccine program, but if the true severe injury rate is closer to 10 or 15%, then that program does not deserve the faith of the public.
Note: The main defense of the use of aluminum as an adjuvant is that everyone unwittingly consumes aluminum everyday through various foods. True, but this aluminum is filtered out by our gastro-intestinal system. The vaccine bypasses this miracle of evolution and goes straight into the muscle, the blood, and much of it ends up in the brain.
This sanguine attitude toward aluminum in pediatric vaccines is surreal, as the presence of aluminum in other consumer products is fretted over. Think about the collective realization that our bodies have been absorbing the aluminum present in antiperspirants. We shouldn’t blindly defer to authority, particularly on a matter concerning the health and safety of our infant children. We should open our eyes and use our own minds on the matter.
