Rebutting Big Pharma\u2019s Talking Points about the Safety of Aluminum (and Mercury) in Vaccines<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026only 1 in 10,000 HPV-infected women develop cervical cancer.\u201d<\/em>

\u00a0\u201cI predict that Gardasil will become the greatest medical scandal of all times because at some point in time, the evidence will add up to prove that this vaccine\u2026has absolutely no effect on cervical cancer and that all the very many adverse effects which destroy lives and even kill, serve no other purpose than to generate profit for the manufacturers.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>— Dr. Bernard Dalbergue, a former pharmaceutical industry physician with Gardasil manufacturer Merck.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo vaccine manufacturer shall be liable\u2026for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u2013 President Ronald Reagan, as he signed The\u00a0National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act\u00a0(NCVIA) of 1986, absolving drug companies from all medico-legal liability when vaccines kill or disable children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 271 vaccines in development span a wide array of diseases, and employ exciting new scientific strategies and technologies. These potential vaccines \u2013 all in human clinical trials or under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) \u2013 include 137 for infectious diseases, 99 for cancer, 15 for allergies and 10 for neurological disorders.\u201d <\/em>

************************<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The #1 talking point of Big Pharma, Big Vaccine, the CDC, the AMA and the American Academy of Pediatrics when they try to justify the use of the neurotoxin aluminum (and mercury) in their vaccines is this one: \u201chumans shouldn\u2019t be afraid of the small amount of either aluminum or mercury that is or has been in many human and animal vaccines.\u201d<\/p>\n

They say, truthfully, that aluminum is the third most common element in the earth\u2019s crust, behind oxygen\u00a0and silicone.\u00a0 Oxygen\u00a0makes up about 47% of the earth’s mass. Silicon is second at 28%, followed by\u00a0aluminum\u00a0at 8%. They also say that aluminum may be just as harmless as oxygen and silicone and that humans are also exposed to aluminum in oral antacids and underarm anti-perspirants and that those products haven\u2019t yet been \u201cconclusively\u201d proven to have caused \u201cstatistically-significant\u201d health problems. They fail, of course, to mention that the \u201cstudies\u201d that prove aluminum\u2019s safety (and efficacy) were designed, performed and paid-for by the very industries that benefit from the unregulated, unexamined and widespread use of injectable aluminum in America\u2019s over-vaccination schedules.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that the reason that aluminum has been used in vaccines for the last 80+ years is because it has been found to be an \u201cadjuvant\u201d (<\/em>defined as \u201ca substance that enhances the body’s immune response to an antigen.\u201d<\/em> An \u201cantigen\u201d<\/em> is \u201ca toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body\u201d. <\/em>Interestingly, nobody really understands exactly how aluminum performs as an adjuvant, and there is a desperate search for other adjuvants because the vaccine industry understands just how toxic it is.<\/p>\n

Adjuvants, when incubated with certain viral particles in the lab, somehow temporarily hyper-stimulates the production of antibodies and thus usually produces the desired temporary, artificial, serological immunity against the virus, viral particle, bacterial particle of toxoid.<\/p>\n

This plausible vaccinology theory ignores the fact that intramuscularly-injected aluminum can easily cause an over-stimulation of antibodies to some of the normal body tissues of the vaccinee, which is known as a \u201cvaccine-induced autoimmune disorder\u201d. How that can happen is dealt with later in this article.<\/p>\n

<<<The Differences Between Oral and Injectable Aluminum>>><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important to\u00a0understand that there are important\u00a0differences between orally-ingested aluminum\u00a0(in some antacids) and intramuscularly-injected aluminum (which is commonly used in many vaccines).<\/p>\n

Orally-ingested aluminum is poorly absorbed through the intestinal mucosa into the blood stream. Only a tiny fraction of the total dose (0.3%) is absorbed, meaning that 99.7% of the ingested aluminum is NOT absorbed and thus passes out of the body through the stool.<\/p>\n

There are questions as to how toxic swallowed aluminum is to the bowel mucosa or intestinal bacteria or how damaging to the body\u2019s cells is the 0.3% that gets into the bloodstream. It depends on the total body burden of poisonous metals like aluminum, lead, mercury, iron, cadmium and manganese and the presence of other toxins like psychiatric drugs, vaccines, food additives, etc.). Another important factor is how healthy and mature is the blood-brain barrier (or the placental barrier in the case of women who are unfortunate enough to have submitted to vaccinations during their pregnancies, thus exposing their fetuses to potentially brain-damaging substances). The blood-brain barrier is discussed a bit further on.<\/p>\n

Most of the aluminum that gets into the blood stream is excreted through the kidneys.\u00a0But exactly how damaging aluminum is to kidneys, the blood cells and vascular system hasn\u2019t been thoroughly studied.<\/p>\n

However, aluminum (as is true for mercury [thimerosal], another vaccine ingredient that was widely used in injectable infant vaccines early in the dramatic autism epidemic) is known to be highly toxic to every organ system and its mitochondria, especially the kidneys, thyroid, liver, bone and brain.<\/p>\n

(Recall that any toxin that gets into the bloodstream can potentially adversely affect every other organ in the body.) The degree of damage inflicted depends partly on the nutritional health of the individual, the amount of anti-oxidants in the diet, the detoxifying systems in the liver – and the blood-brain barrier.<\/p>\n

<<<The Blood-Brain Barrier>>><\/strong><\/p>\n

The normal brain is fortunately relatively safe from many toxins animals are exposed to because of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is a system of unique brain capillaries, whose endothelial cells and their unusually \u201ctight junctions\u201d between each cell. Those endothelial cells are supposed to keep large molecules and infectious agents out of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF, the fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord) and therefore away from the very vulnerable central nervous system (CNS).<\/p>\n

The BBB is a very effective defender of the brain, unless it is immature (is as the case for all small infants) or unless it is aged or diseased (which is the norm for the elderly, the acute or chronically ill, the highly medicated, the highly vaccinated and for those who are exposed to toxic substances that are known to harm the BBB. Toxins known to harm the BBB include solvents, herbicides, pesticides, viruses, bacteria, street drugs, many pharmaceutical drugs, toxic foods, toxic water, toxic metals (including the aluminum and mercury in vaccines), electromagnetic radiation, etc.<\/p>\n

As touched on above, the aluminum\u00a0in vaccines is designed to hyper-stimulate antibody production. The vaccine antigens that will be marketed to the public are first manufactured or grown in chicken or duck eggs, chicken kidney cells, mouse brains, African green monkey kidney cells or human fetal cells) in the laboratories of Big Pharma\u2019s vaccine manufacturers like Merck, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Sanofi-Pasteur and MedImmune.\u00a0 Then aluminum nanoparticles are adsorbed onto\u00a0those antigens in large vats. Then a variety of other substances are added, including preservatives (such as mercury, antibiotics, formaldehyde, phenol, phenoxyethanol) for the multiple-dose vials.<\/p>\n

When the aluminum-containing inoculum is eventually injected into the vaccinee\u2019s muscle tissue, the body\u2019s immune system is supposed to produce antibodies (immunoglobulins) against the antigen which the aluminum nanoparticles were adsorbed.\u00a0The intensity of antibody production varies tremendously, from zero effect to hyperimmune responses.<\/p>\n

Whether the injection accidentally went into the subcutaneous fat, directly into a blood vessel or into scar tissue would account for some of the variance. And the duration of the antibody response also varies tremendously, also depending on those factors.<\/p>\n

What is for certain is that any delayed antibody response is likely to be only temporary. Some of the adverse effects, like the high incidence of fainting and the POTS syndrome after the Gardisil vaccinations, might be because the vaccine was injected into a small blood vessel and thus directly into the bloodstream instead of the muscle.<\/p>\n

What is also a certainty is that vaccinations have zero (or even negative) effects on cellular immunity, which is the equally important second half of the immune system.<\/p>\n

But serious unintended consequences from vaccines can occur, for the injected material is regarded as a foreign body by the vaccinee\u2019s mononuclear cells (macrophages). The macrophage\u2019s main purpose is to\u00a0attack foreign bodies\u00a0that penetrate the body\u2019s protective skin or mucosal surfaces, thus ameliorating the toxic effects of germs, slivers, cat bite saliva, injected vaccine ingredients, etc. Properly functioning macrophages will neutralize some of the toxicity of foreign bodies.<\/p>\n

<<<How Can Aluminum-Adjuvanted Vaccines Cause Neurotoxic Disorders Like Autism or Dementia?>>><\/strong><\/p>\n

I describe below two of the serious un-anticipated and unwanted outcomes that can happen when aluminum-coated antigens are injected into an animal\u2019s muscle tissue:<\/p>\n

1) After the body\u2019s macrophages ingested the aluminum-coated vaccine material, they will migrate into the lymphatic system (including regional lymph nodes), and then they will go into the bloodstream, which eventually goes to many other distant organs, including the liver, spleen, bone, brain and everywhere else that the blood goes.<\/p>\n

Macrophages are capable of crossing into the brain through the unique \u201ctight junctions\u201d that are located between the BBB\u2019s endothelial cells. When the BBB is healthy it will keep out most toxic substances such as most proteins, viruses, bacteria, large molecule drugs, toxic metals and other toxic substances such as dissolved aluminum ions.<\/p>\n

If the BBB is immature or diseased, many of those toxic substances are more likely to cross into the cerebrospinal fluid. So, whereas dissolved aluminum in the blood usually can\u2019t get into the brain by itself, when it is inside a macrophage it can enter into the protected space of the brain and thus potentially toxify brain cells (neurons, nutrient glial cells and synaptic cleft organelles where neurotransmitters do their magic. Macrophages appear to be identical to brain microglia in that they have similar nutrient and de-toxifying functions.<\/p>\n

The above phenomena have been well studied and are the mechanisms that explain how injected aluminum-adjuvanted material can cross the diseased or aged BBB of so-called pre-dementia patients or cross the immature BBB into the brains of infants, that might\u00a0 condemn some of those victims to come down with a vaccine-induced dementia or a vaccine-induced autistic spectrum disorder, ADHD, or other behavioral or neuro-degenerative disorder.<\/p>\n

<<<How Can Aluminum Adjuvants Cause Autoimmune Disorders?>>><\/strong><\/p>\n

2) The second serious thing that can happen when aluminum is\u00a0injected\u00a0into animal tissue \u2013 particularly the small bodies of children or infants – is that the needle can be expected to traumatize whatever tissues it pierces.<\/p>\n

That trauma, plus the inevitable inflammation that develops from the vaccine ingredients, will cause the break-down of other para-muscular tissues, such as, obviously, the now-damaged muscle tissue, area blood vessels, white blood cells, platelets, blood clotting factors, collagen tissue, nerve tissue, myelin, etc, likely coating some of these otherwise normal cells with the aluminum adjuvant and setting up the possibility for the body\u2019s immune system to develop antibodies against the body\u2019s own tissues, which is the definition of autoimmune disorders.<\/p>\n

So patients with autoimmune disorders like Macrophagic Myofasciitis (MMF), Autoimmune\/inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (ASIA),\u00a0lupus, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Guillain-Barre syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Gulf War Syndrome, Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, Hashimoto\u2019s thyroiditis, etc may actually have vaccine-induced autoimmune disorders. (Google research scholars such as Romain Kroum Gherardi, Yehuda Shoenfeld, Chris Shaw, Lucija Tomljenovic, etc for more.)<\/p>\n

There are a multitude of case reports and case series in the world\u2019s medical literature of vaccine-induced autoimmunity. The only get published in the journals that aren\u2019t subsidized and don\u2019t accept advertising money from pharmaceutical companies (and don\u2019t have editors who have been co-opted by Big Pharma, the CDC or the AA).<\/p>\n

These vaccine-induced autoimmune disorders are iatrogenic disorders (doctor-caused, prescription drug-caused, vaccine-caused, surgery-caused) and thus\u00a0their existence makes them taboo subjects – not to be discussed publically. But in the honorable \u201cfirst do no harm\u201d profession that I proudly joined after medical school 40+ years ago, drug-induced, iatrogenic disorders were always to be at the top of the differential diagnosis list. That teaching appears to have disappeared over the years.<\/p>\n

But, for the sake of our vulnerable patients, especially or babies and the elderly, who are getting sicker and sicker as more and more drugs and vaccines are prescribed, honorable physicians and paraprofessionals should be actively considering the possibility of iatrogenesis whenever they are faced with an autoimmune disordered patient.<\/p>\n

<<<Further Vaccinations to Patients who Have Vaccine-Induced Autoimmunity or Vaccine-Induced Neurodevelopmental Disorders Should be Contraindicated>>><\/strong><\/p>\n

Vaccine-induced injuries, deaths and autoimmune disorders are increasingly common among fully vaccinated populations. The correlation between the huge increases in dementia among America\u2019s fully-vaccinated older adults (who get yearly mercury injections in their flu shots and then get yearly aluminum-containing pneumovax shots) needs to be thoroughly noted.<\/p>\n

The worsening of toxic disorders caused by heavy metal exposure is known to happen with every additional exposure to the toxin. Two toxins together can cause enormous synergistic (as opposed to additive) increases in toxicity. That phenomenon of synergy appears to apply when aluminum and mercury vaccines are co-administered. Thus, if vaccine-induced disorders are not recognized, the already toxified patients will have their autism, autoimmune disorders and\u00a0 dementia worsen, and larger long-term health care costs and more human suffering will occur \u2013 exactly the opposite of the physician pledge to \u201cfirst do no harm\u201d.<\/p>\n

There are a number of whistle-blower experts (see below) who are trying to alert doctors, journalists and law-makers to the dangers of Big Pharma\u2019s highly profitable over-vaccination business plan. These out-numbered and silenced whistle-blowers are stepping on some very big toes, namely huge multinational pharmaceutical corporations that have large numbers of clever lawyers, cunning front groups, well-paid lobbyists and control of what gets reported on the mainstream news. That combination can easily destroy the careers of honest altruistic researchers that threaten their financial bottom line \u2013 and they have \u2013 most dramatically and cruelly in the case of Dr Andrew Wakefield (watch one of his powerful talks on YouTube).<\/p>\n

What makes the problem urgent is that the medical establishment is allowing itself to be repeatedly brain-washed by Big Pharma\u2019s criminal smearing of honest whistle-blowing physician-scholars like Wakefield, Suzanne Humphries, Sherri Tenpenny, Russell Blaylock, Diane Harper, Toni Bark and Kelly Brogan \u2013 as well as non-physician experts like Stephanie Seneff, Brian Hooker, Barbara Loe-Fischer, Gary Goldman, and Robert Kennedy, Jr. (google each of them before dismissing this column\u00a0 and listen to their testimony which is all over YouTube. One can find everything at one website: http:\/\/www.vaccinesrevealed.com\/.<\/p>\n

If the medical establishment continues in denial or ignorance about the dangers of vaccines, the financial impact of just three vaccine-induced disorders will not only dramatically increase in incidence and intensity but the escalating multi-billion dollar cost to care for the permanently disabled autistics, the permanently disabled \u201cAlzheimer\u2019s Disease\u201d patients and the \u201cmysterious\u201d autoimmune disorder epidemic will bankrupt the nation (if the Pentagon budgets doesn\u2019t do it first).<\/p>\n
