Aluminum in vaccines. How much? How safe?

[For an auditory reading of this blog] Edit 30 August 2023. Just realized the video my friend and fellow activist to help educate parents on vaccine reality, has been removed. Must be really really good, helpful, lifesaving information! Glad to report the blog is still here and available to read for yourself.

These basic questions should cause most parents, doctors, nurses, and grandparents to begin asking serious questions about the vaccines recommended for babies and children, especially in light of a remarkable paper just published in March 2018 which evaluates safety standards for aluminum in vaccines.[1]

Some things to note:

The DTaP shot on its own contains 170 – 625 mcg of aluminum depending on the manufacturer. You can get the exact amount from the vaccine package insert (vpi) for the brand your doctor is using. It is recommended that babies receive the DTaP at 2, 4, 6, 18 months and another shot at 4-6 years – for a total of 5 shots. Do the math: 5X the number you find in the vpi.

Some doctors like to give a combined shot like Pediarix or Pentacel because ‘it causes baby less distress to have less needles at once’ or something like that. Please note that the amount of aluminum in these shots is 850 mcg and 330 mcg respectively. Do the math if this combined shot is recommended for more than one dose for your baby.

Hepatitis B is given routinely on the first day of life – before breastfeeding is well established – and is followed up with 2 more doses for a total of 750 mcg of aluminum. Researching this disease and the history of this vaccine reveals concerning information.

Note how many doses of Hib and Pneumococcus are going to be given to your baby and do the math for those shots too.

PLEASE. Add up the total amount of aluminum that will be injected into your baby if you follow the doctors’ schedule. Do this mathematical exercise BEFORE you agree to any shot. Ask your doctor to do the math. Your doctor was not taught about the toxicity of aluminum or how it impacts the baby.

Aluminum has been considered GRAS (generally regarded as safe) and necessary – because without it there will not be the same level of blood titer increase. However, dosing for aluminum in vaccines was not worked out for safety according to the baby’s body weight. The amount of aluminum considered to be acceptable in vaccines is based on studies of INGESTION of aluminum in animals.[1]

If parents are concerned about hepatitis infections, diphtheria infections, tetanus infections, hib infections, meningitis, and pertussis infections for their brand new baby, there is a multitude of information that can help you understand and treat these illnesses in our modern day. Most of these diseases decreased in numbers and severity long before the vaccines were introduced. Similar infectious illnesses for which no vaccine was made, also decreased. Studying accurate graphs of the incidence of these infectious illnesses show that the decrease in all of them had more to do with clean water, improved sanitation practices, and better nutrition than with the vaccine. Not all doctors recommend vaccines.

You may find this latest analysis of aluminum safety in vaccines as interesting and shocking as I did.[1] I find encouragement that there are honest scientists seeking honest answers regarding the safety of aluminum in vaccines.

If after reading this, you still want to inject your baby or yourself with vaccines, please read this first as it outlines ways to prepare that could possibility mitigate some of the adverse side effects of vaccines.
