Scientists Learn How Adjuvant Makes Vaccines Effective  

post #1 of 6

Just the first sentence is shocking enough. .

Eighty years after adjuvants were first used to boost the effectiveness of vaccines, researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center have finally begun to understand how they work.

Here are a few excerpts..

..."Adjuvants have been included in vaccines given to hundreds of millions of people for decades," said Michael Jordan, M.D., co-lead author and researcher at National Jewish. "These findings give us new insight into how they boost the immune response to a vaccine."

...No one fully understands why adjuvants boost the effectiveness of nonliving vaccines. Several theories have been proposed but none have been widely accepted.

Wow! How about this part?

"The discovery of alum as a vaccine booster actually began with tapioca, a starchy substance used in pudding and as a thickener in cooking. In the early 1920s a scientist named Ramone reported that, for unknown reasons, he had mixed tapioca with inactivated tetanus toxin and found that it served as a more effective vaccine than did the toxin itself. "

Why in the world was someone shooting FOOD into the bloodstream? And doesn't that serve as a beautiful illustration of the insanity of replacing the food with toxic metals? At least food is intended for a certain part of the body!

For 80 years we have been injecting something and we still don't really understand why.
No thank you!

Yep, that's why they refer to them as "immunologists dirty little secret"
