Have you
ever gotten a vaccination? If so, do you remember being told what the
ingredients were or what side effects could possible occur? In many cases, the
answer to that is probably no because some doctors tell patients very little
about the vaccine as they may not know what could happen post administration.
At any rate, vaccines contain an adjuvant, which is used to act as a stimulant
and one of the most common adjuvant is the chemical compound aluminum. Aluminum
adjuvants have been used in a wide variety of vaccines for decades, however,
aluminum is a non-essential metal when it comes to human function and it is a
known neurotoxin.
Despite the
facts revolving around the toxicity of aluminum, it often is understated and
outright ignored by agencies and organizations that are responsible for
protecting public health. That's why the Dwoskin Family
Foundation for Vaccine Support is on a mission to raise awareness of the
dangers associated with aluminum adjuvants. It's very apparent that the amount
of information the public has about vaccine ingredients is limited, which is
why learning about it extremely valuable for the safety of patients.
With that
said, Dr. Christopher Exley, a funded CMSRI researcher, published an article to
bring attention to aluminum adjuvants. In his article, "The Immunobiology of Aluminum Adjuvants: How
Do They Really Work," he points out "the many ways that aluminum chemistry
contributes to the wide and versatile armory of its adjuvants, such that future
research might be guided towards a fuller understanding of their role in human
vaccinations." Essentially, the apparent use of aluminum adjuvants has not
undergone intense clinical evaluation and continued use of the ingredient may
pose significant health risks. This means the understanding of aluminum
adjuvants neurotoxicity is the key issue because numerous studies and reports
have identified many adverse reactions associated with the ingredient.
Addressing
the concerns of sparse research pertaining to the safety of aluminum adjuvants
is alarming but current efforts to raise awareness of its potential health
risks may help guide chemical engineers and clinicians to revise the
ingredients in manufactured vaccines.
