Can vaccines cause autism?
The CDC made their claim decades ago and shut the door to more research. Yet, independent research on vaccines and vaccine ingredients is ongoing... do you know what it says?
As a toxicologist and a mother of a child who was developmentally delayed and exhibited all the signs and symptoms of autism, this issue has been deeply important to me to consider in my own research. This is what Iโve found:
๐๐ป Autistic children are known to accumulate/harbor aluminum. One study found enormously high levels of aluminum in the brains of individuals who died with autism. (We also know that this happens with individuals who die with Alzheimerโs, a neurodegenerative disease.)
๐๐ป Another study found that 98% of autistic individuals have at least one MTHFR mutation - which means they struggle to detoxify and eliminate neurotoxic substances like aluminum from the body, much more than individuals who do not have this mutation.
๐๐ป MTHFR mutations have been linked to an increased risk of adverse events from vaccines, in at least one study.
๐๐ป Aluminum is a neurotoxic metal. When it reaches the brain, it tends to be deposited in the cerebellum.
๐๐ป The cerebellum is the most frequently disrupted brain region of individuals with autism.
๐๐ป Symptoms of aluminum neurotoxicity are:
Cognitive and neurobehavioral deficits, speech and language impairment, personality changes, altered mood, depression, motor disturbances, weakness, fatigue, and seizure.
๐๐ป Symptoms of autism areโฆ ๐๐ป๐๐ป
๐๐ป Aluminum is an ingredient in the Tdap vaccine which is now routinely given to pregnant mothers. Aluminum given to the mother can cross the placenta and accumulate in the unborn fetus.
๐๐ป Aluminum is an ingredient in many pediatric vaccines: Hep B, Hep A, DTaP, pneumococcal, Hib...
๐๐ป Aluminum is in vaccines in the form of an adjuvant. The purpose of an adjuvant in vaccines is to provoke the immune system to attack the contents of the vaccine. The very nature of an effective adjuvant is that it is harmful or toxic enough to trigger an immune response.
๐๐ป There is no known safe limit of injection of aluminum adjuvants. It has never been scientifically or experimentally determined.
๐๐ป Aluminum adjuvants were originally considered โsafeโ without actual testing for what would be a safe amount to inject, because aluminum compounds were put on a โGenerally Recognized As Safeโ (GRAS) list back in the 1970s. When it comes to vaccines, the amount used is based on efficacy, NOT safety.
๐๐ป Based on the only limit that exists - not for an intramuscular injection of a vaccine, but an FDA regulation on parenteral IVs given to premature infants which is set at 4-5mcg/kg aluminum per day - children are receiving far more aluminum in one โwell-child visitโ than is considered safe to prevent central nervous system toxicity.
๐๐ป Published research by independent scientists, immunologists, toxicologists, and doctors (not paid for by the industry itself) has confirmed the above, that aluminum adjuvants can cause neurological damage and cognitive deficits at the levels in vaccines.
๐๐ป While the human body can be quite capable of dealing with aluminum we ingest (we only absorb 0.4% of the aluminum, the rest is excreted), we absorb 100% of the aluminum injected into the body. Basic toxicology: Toxicity is dependent on dose AND route of exposure! Routes of exposure: ingestion, inhalation, dermal, injection (intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intravenous).
๐๐ป We do NOT readily excrete injected aluminum. In one study it was found that 94% of the aluminum injected via vaccine/intramuscular injection remains in the body after 28 days.
๐๐ป We are repeatedly injecting babies with neurotoxic levels of aluminum on day one of birth (more or less neurotoxic depending on the child), then every two months until 6 months, during the most critical neurodevelopmental phases of their lives, and beyond.
