President Donald Trump in December asked the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to align with how peer nations approach vaccine recommendations.

    Infants on formula will consume roughly 30x the amount of aluminum they’d receive from all vaccines.

    So what. Aluminum is not bioavailable and is used as a floculant in all drinking water purification worldwide. Chinese have been using alum for 1000 years in cooking. Before that, Greece and Rome. It’s one of the most abundant metals on earth.

    Aluminum toxicity is more bullshit science. The human body does not use aluminum for any purpose.

      It doesn’t use alcohol either beyond converting it to ethanol and then uric acid. Just saying that just because the body can’t use something doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t do any harm. That being said, if aluminum was causing significant issues we’d certainly have heard about it before now, given its widespread use.

        Aluminium goes in one end and out the other, does it not?

          Most aluminium is excreted through bodily fluids yes but still a significant enough amount can end up in the brain. Once in the brain it has a rough half-life of 20% of a person’s life span to potentially even longer.

      Here’s some ‘bullshit science’ for you.

      Aluminium in the Human Brain: Routes of Penetration, Toxicity, and Resulting complicationshttps://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/8/7228

      Overview of the Relationship Between Aluminum Exposure and Human Health https://www.researchgate.net/publication/372226334_Overview_of_the_Relationship_Between_Aluminum_Exposure_and_Human_Health

      The impact of aluminum exposure on human health https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00204-023-03581-6

      Clinical Outcomes of the Deleterious Effects of Aluminum on Neuro-Cognition, Inflammation, and Health: A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10180736/

      Also Aluminium is the most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust at 8.23%.

        Biomedical scientists here. Bullshit meta analysis in obscure predatory journals don’t impress me.

        You can detect a lot of environmental elements in brain, it doesn’t mean it’s pathogenic. This is why we have CSF washing out our brains every night.

        Again, because no read good, aluminum sulphate is used as a clearing flocculant worldwide forever 100 years, and many diets around the world use alum, and have for over 2000 years.

        It’s only a problem in people with Renal failure in dialysis.

        Aluminum is definitely something we should be reducing everywhere
