Aluminum in infant vaccines-did you know the FDA does not do any testing to make sure the aluminum content in the vaccine is the same as stated on the package insert?
This study is from 2021 and I cannot believe mainstream news is still not questioning the lack of oversight. What we are doing to infants/toddlers is inexcusable without supportive data.
Even with all the research I have done over the past 10-plus years, I am still amazed and shocked by what I would assume would be part of a basic protocol.
If the vaccine leaflet states the amount of aluminum in that vaccine, you would assume that this has been verified by an independent third party, right? Or, at the very least, would the FDA, here in the US, verify the content stated is accurate?
You would assume that if the leaflet says a vaccine provides 0.25 mg of aluminum as aluminum phosphate, then that is the exact amount your baby is getting, right?
No, this is not the case at all!
A Study Looking at the Aluminum Content in 13 Childhood Vaccines
In Europe, the EMA and the US, the FDA are charged with the responsibility of verifying the information in the patient vaccine information leaflet, but when Shardlow et al. (2021) questioned both organizations on this matter, neither organization was able to confirm that they routinely measure the aluminum content in vaccines.
Instead, the FDA and the EMA rely on data provided by the manufacturer.
I do not know why I am so shocked, but I thought this would be a bare minimum requirement.
According to Shardlow et al. (2021), only the manufacturer measures the aluminum content in a vaccine, and they use unspecified methods, and the data on this cannot be made public.
So, how do we even know that they are measuring the content?
The researchers (Shardlow et al., 2021) looked at individual vaccines for 13 different vaccines in one to two lots in each vaccine. For instance, for Pentacel, a vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, and disease caused by Haemophilus influenza type b, they tested 10 individual vaccines across two lots.
If manufacturers routinely measure the aluminum content in vaccines, why did this study find that six of the 13 vaccines tested had significantly higher aluminum content? Only three vaccines contained similar amounts to what was stated on the leaflet.
Are you concerned yet? You should be if you have children or grandchildren who are getting vaccines.
Shardlow et al. (2021) state that a FOIA request to the NIH revealed that they could not provide even one study regarding the safety of aluminum in infants. Aluminum can be toxic and neurotoxic for some individuals.

I was listening to this presentation.
https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/shows/good-morning-chd/the-vaccine-schedule-the-good-the-bad-the-ugly
Starting at the 17-minute mark, Dr. James Lyons-Weiler states the same: There are no infant studies to determine a safe dose limit. He also (around the 20:50 minute mark) showed a chart of the aluminum level in vaccines in various countries, indicating that Japan has a very low dose and other countries have a much higher dose.
Why is that?
He goes on to explain that to induce an AI condition in mice and rats, researchers inject them with aluminum. The reason for doing so is that drug manufacturers must first test new drugs in animal studies, so they need rats and mice with various health conditions.
This means researchers know that aluminum can cause various health conditions.
I loved his statement that ” vaccines are a gateway drug to allopathic medicine.”
The presentation has a wealth of information for parents who do not want to vaccinate and dives into approaching pediatric appointments with confidence and knowledge.
With this information, here are the questions I wish I had asked when my boys were infants.
A preemie baby that weighs 4.40 pounds or more may get the same shots as a healthy full-term baby. What are the consequences of a 5-pound or 6-pound baby getting vaccines that have a higher aluminum content than what is stated on the leaflet compared to an 8-pound baby getting vaccines that have the aluminum content that is stated on the leaflet?
Vaccine manufacturers advise the multi-dose vials should be shaken before administering the vaccine. What happens if a nurse forgets to shake the vial, and now a baby is getting the last dose from the vial that may have a much higher aluminum content that has settled to the bottom of the vial?
Since there are no infant studies to determine the safe level of aluminum in one vaccine, what are the ramifications if a baby gets multiple aluminum-containing vaccines simultaneously?
Why does the FDA not monitor vaccine adjunct ingredients regularly? Could you imagine if you took a blood sugar-regulating or heart medication and each pill you popped into your mouth had a different milligram content?
In vaccine court, why does compensation come from the fee parents pay when their child gets a vaccine? Shouldn’t that money come from the vaccine manufacturers?
In 1962, children received 5 vaccine doses. In 1986, it was 25. In 2023, with cov!d injections on the schedule, a child could receive up to 73 vaccines by age 18, and 20 of those in the first year of life. So then, why in the US do we have the highest infant mortality rate, spend the most on healthcare, and are one of the unhealthiest first-world nations?
A researcher who investigates aluminum
Christopher Exley is the last author of the study by Shardlow et al. (2021). I started listening to some of his podcasts this past summer because his primary focus is aluminum.
His substack is drchristopherexley.substack.com
Forest Maready explains how a low aluminum dose may pose greater risks than a large aluminum vaccine dose.
If you are on the fence, a good book that discussed heavy metals/adjuvants in childhood vaccines is The Crooked Smile by Forrest Maready.
One of the things he explains in the book is the difference between aluminum in the diet and aluminum in vaccines. If you read mainstream articles online, they basically admonish you for even thinking the aluminum in vaccines is dangerous by saying you get more from breast milk and food.
However, if you are trying to reduce aluminum from not just vaccines, this post by Dr. Greger discussed studies examining how much aluminum is absorbed from cookware.

Maready explains that only about 0.3% of aluminum from food is absorbed. He explains that any amount of aluminum in a vaccine is unsafe, but a lower dose may pose even larger risks due to your body responding more aggressively with granuloma formations at higher aluminum concentrations. The body works hard to wall off the large aluminum dose inside protective granulomas and may not mount the same response if the dose is low (The way it moves chapter, p. 102-103).
Do we have the same diseases today as in the 19th century?
I suggest reading the first few chapters of Dissolving Illusions by Dr. Humpries and Roman Bystrianyk (2015).
The authors vividly describe the conditions people lived and worked in, food quality, sanitation, and drinking water. You can easily understand how diseases were rampant, why lifespan was so short, and why many children did not survive into their teen years.
After you read those first couple of chapters, ask yourself how accurate is the statement “there is an overwhelming benefit of the vaccines.”
Are we giving vaccines for conditions that no longer exist?
Why does a baby need a Hep B vaccine on the first day of life unless they go to a home with drug users?
Why do we need a chicken pox vaccine if it is a routine childhood illness?
I am not “totally” against allopathic medicine.
I know I sound completely against allopathic medicine, but that is not true. Recently, I read an article about a teenage girl who suffered third-degree burns over 70% of her body. If this was my child, I would want hospital and medical care. The mother also stated the benefits and support from the Rondal McDonald house.
So, there is still much good and quality care that comes from the mainstream medical profession.
My boys had a wonderful, caring pediatrician who even made a house call one time because it was the weekend, and wanted to make sure it was not an overlooked appendicitis. When one of our boys sustained a head injury, he met me at his office after hours.
When a son had difficulty breathing, I drove a couple of hours to pick him up at college and, for some reason, drove back to the hospital near home. The doctor said gently and nicely to me, “Next time, take him to the closest hospital to him.”
I cannot believe what I was thinking or wasn’t thinking, not driving to the nearest hospital when he was struggling to breathe, and I am pretty sure if I was that doctor, I would not have said it as nicely.
My concern is that diet and lifestyle conditions continue to rise each year. Heart disease and cancer are the number 1 and 2 causes of death, so I do not see how a pill for every ill is working, and I think our food, our environment, the number of vaccines, and our medications are making us sicker. I do believe that the rise in childhood illnesses such as allergies, ear infections, autism, AI, and asthma is partially caused by vaccine-induced immune dysregulation in some children.
Scary, but interesting.
