Study finds no evidence aluminum salts in vaccines are tied to higher risk of asthma, other childhood diseases
Aluminum increases some shots’ effectiveness and should be seen as safe, researchers say

When anti-vaccine activists and others argue that the immunizations used to protect children from infectious diseases are risky, they often point to aluminum salts, a product added to many childhood vaccines to increase their effectiveness.

A new large study from Denmark directly counters those claims. After mining the vaccination and medical records of more than 1.2 million children over a 24-year period, researchers could see no evidence that exposure to aluminum in vaccines led to a statistically significant increase in a child’s risk of developing any of a wide variety of conditions that can be diagnosed in childhood, including asthma and autism.


None of the 50 conditions the group looked at — broadly categorized as relating to autoimmune diseases, allergy, and neurodevelopmental disorders — occurred at statistically higher levels than would be expected, ruling out moderate or substantially increased risk from exposure to aluminum in vaccines, a finding senior author Anders Hviid described as “quite striking.”

“We should not be concerned about aluminum used as an adjuvant in childhood vaccines. I think that’s the core message.”

“This is a rigorous and well-designed study that should put to rest any lingering doubts about the potential risks to children from cumulative aluminum exposure in vaccines,” said Belongia, who was a senior research scientist at the Marshfield Clinic Research Institute in Wisconsin before his recent retirement..................................................






More scientific evidence emerges that vaccines aren’t linked to chronic conditions like asthma and autism.

Will RFK Jr. keep his promise to follow the science?
