Infants' exposure to aluminum from vaccines and breast milk during the first 6 months

This study does not dispute the safety of vaccines but reinforces the need to study long-term effects of early exposure to neuro-toxic substances on the developing brain. Pragmatic vaccine safety needs to embrace conventional toxicology, addressing especial characteristics of unborn fetuses, neonates and infants exposed to low levels of aluminum, and ethylmercury traditionally considered innocuous to the central nervous system.

It's a start. I find it hard to get my head around how injected and ingested aluminium are considered equal. But, at least there are massive differences in dose to get someone's attention. Down the road they will no doubt figure out that when considering dose, it matters whether it is injected or ingested.

And maybe they will study the metabolism of aluminium. Especially injected aluminium. Where does it go once it is in the body, how much is excreted, if it is not all excreted, where is it stored, how does it affect the tissue where it is stored? How long does it need to be in the body to do damage?

they've gotta get that out there, front and center, or they'll be in trouble.

if they were adding aluminum to other drugs and injecting them into millions of babies, someone would be able to raise a concern without having to put a disclaimer in the first sentence, right?

I like the bit about Pragmatic vaccine safety needs to embrace conventional toxicology. Somehow this has escaped far too many peoples' attention.

My MD sister once claimed that it doesn't matter whether you eat the Al or inject it, it is absorbed at the same level. That's when she tried to tell me how crazy vaccine deniers are. Here we have it, of course it's worse when you inject it. Our bodies developed an excellent intestinal tract to weed out the bad stuff. If you inject into a person, duh, it's absorbed per se. I wish I could talk to her about it and send the article, but she will refute it somehow. Most docs I now are just trained like a dog to never question vaccines. (see our debate when I found out about the usage of aborted cells, she's a pro lifer... she said it's a lie anti vaxxers put out there... I sent her proof... she thinks it's ok to make an exception with vaccines, cause they are way too important to let your beliefs interfere with it. nice.)
