Medical journal stands firm against RFK's demand to rescind findings from their vaccine research study
In a significant development, a major Danish study published in the prestigious journal Annals of Internal Medicine has reaffirmed the safety of aluminum adjuvants in childhood vaccines. The study, which tracked over 1.2 million children for up to 8 years, found no evidence of harm from aluminum adjuvants in vaccines [1][2][5].
The study's senior author, Anders Hviid, a professor at the Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen, and his team analyzed vaccination and other health records from the children. They concluded that there is no association between aluminum exposure from early childhood vaccines and 50 conditions, including allergies and autism [4].
The current scientific consensus supports the safety and effectiveness of aluminum in vaccines. Aluminum salts have been used for about 70 years in vaccines to enhance the immune response by boosting effectiveness. The amount of aluminum children receive from vaccines in the first two years of life is far below safety limits set by health authorities, such as those in Europe [1][2].
The study's findings contradict claims made by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a prominent anti-vaccine advocate, who has alleged that aluminum in vaccines causes harm. However, extensive, high-quality epidemiological evidence contradicts these claims, with leading health experts and comprehensive population studies showing no causal link between aluminum exposure through vaccines and chronic health problems [1][2][5].
Kennedy, who has been critical of vaccine ingredients, recently removed all 17 sitting members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory committee and replaced them with new members known for undermining scientific evidence about vaccines [3]. In response to the Danish study, Kennedy called for the study to be retracted, claiming it was "badly designed" and accusing the study's authors of manipulating their data. However, Christine Laine, the journal's editor-in-chief, stated that she sees no reason for retraction and that Kennedy's arguments do not invalidate the study's findings [2].
It's important to note that infants typically ingest more aluminum in their food than they do from vaccines. This article is for informational purposes only and is not meant to offer medical advice.
In Denmark, doing so with raw data is illegal due to privacy laws in the E.U. Despite this, Kennedy asked the new panel to review vaccines containing aluminum [3]. Kennedy has also been accused of making factual errors, such as the assertion that Hviid works for a company that develops vaccines, which he does not [2].
In summary, the best and most recent evidence from large cohort studies and regulatory agencies confirms aluminum adjuvants in vaccines are safe and effective, with no credible evidence supporting the allegations of harm made by Kennedy or other vaccine critics.
Science consistently refutes medical-conditions claims linking aluminum in vaccines to chronic health problems, such as autism or allergies, as concluded in a high-quality, extensive study published by Anders Hviid and his team in the Annals of Internal Medicine. This study, which analyzed data from over 1.2 million children, found no association between aluminum exposure from early childhood vaccines and 50 medical-conditions, including autism and allergies. Health-and-wellness professionals worldwide endorse the safety and effectiveness of aluminum in vaccines.
