- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. intensifies attacks on aluminum vaccine components, claiming they are neurotoxic and linked to autism, asthma, and autoimmune diseases.
- Scientific consensus maintains that aluminum adjuvants in vaccines are safe, with studies showing no definitive link to autism or other conditions.
- Kennedy targets scientists and studies supporting aluminum adjuvant safety, demanding retractions and spreading misinformation.
- Aluminum adjuvants enhance immune response by causing mild inflammation at the injection site, helping the body recognize and fight germs effectively.
- Animal studies cited by Kennedy involve deliberate sensitization with food proteins and aluminum, not replicating real-world vaccine conditions.
- Large human studies, including a Danish study of 1.2 million children, find no increased risk of conditions linked to aluminum in vaccines.
- Rare localized reactions to aluminum adjuvants, like itchy nodules, are documented but not harmful or systemic.
- Removing aluminum adjuvants would disrupt vaccine production, requiring reformulation and new trials, potentially leading to shortages and disease resurgence.
- Experts emphasize the safety and necessity of aluminum adjuvants, warning against the dangers of reduced vaccine uptake.
