    Aluminium salts are used in vaccines to strengthen to immune response.

    So it is not valid, based on the definition of placebo, to use them as such in clinical trials if they are an active ingredient of the vaccine.

    Aluminium is in our drinking water. The exposure from a vaccines is a tiny % of our overall exposure from our enviorment. Insignificant really.

    Anyways it has been used in placebos before and nothing showed up so no need to repeat for each vaccine.

    That was how they categorised them at the time. We do things a lot differently now. I have said before that not everything from the past is all sunshine and daffodils.

    It does not mean that vaccines are not safe.

    I disagree completely.

    Adjuvants have been used safely in vaccines for well over 70 years and undergo rigorous safety tests. The research shows there are no major side effects to be concerned about.

    Right, so you appear to be claiming, without evidence, that someone is supporting vaccines and is being paid or coerced to do so?

    If you have no evidence for it, that's a vague (appeal to motive) assumption surely?

    No i didnt claim that at all, I merely pointed that she or her family profits from selling pharmaceutical products and therefore we are entitled to point out the potential conflict of interest. Once again one can be pro vaccine and question her motivation.

    You are of course free to speculate on the motivation of her statements but if you are honest you will accept that it is merely speculation on your part as you cannot know her motivation (and nor do i)

    There is no reason to question her motivation because the evidence completely supports her stance.

    Conflict of interest as a negative or a sign of bias is only valid if the evidence is lacking.

    ...

    The bioavailability of oral aluminium from water/food is very low – somewhere in the region of 0.1 – 0.3% and the mechanism of action with intramuscular aluminium salts is completely different as it is almost 100% available and forms a long lasting reservoir which can trigger autoimmunity in the genetically and environmentally predisposed.

    The uptake of aluminium through wounds is generally considered to be of little consequence except in the situation where aluminium is injected into the body as a vaccine adjuvant. Such adjuvants are added to vaccines to potentiate the immune response of the antigen. One of two adjuvants is commonly employed, either aluminium hydroxyphosphate or aluminium oxyhydroxide–both are insoluble and adsorb charged antigens at physiological pH 7.4. As these are injected directly into the body then they circumvent the body’s protective barriers and when they dissolve they can directly enhance the body burden of aluminium. For example, twenty injections, each containing 0.5 mg of aluminium, could release 10 mg of aluminium into the body (it might take 4000 days to reach the same level of intake from normal dietary intakes) of which 0.2 mg would be retained as a persistent body burden–making vaccines an important source of body aluminium; this is particularly true for children.

    If you include a substance in both arms of a trial you will get equivalent effects.

    But there is no evidence that this amount of aluminium is harmful.

    Also whatever combination of vaccine vs placebo / saline you where asking for has already been done. If aluminium is a problem then why didn't show up in those clinical trials?

    Influenza, tetanus.

    You should get tetanus boosters. Anti-vaxx parents ended up costing the Oregon taxpayer over $800,000 for the 8 weeks intensive treatment + emergency airlift their son received after contracting tetanus. He cut himself, parents bandaged him up, but tetanus set in. Put the kid through agonies - convulsions, lockjaw, etc.
    Tetanus is rare but it can happen.

    At least the parents were comfortable in their righteousness.

    Up to 71 confirmed cases in Washington state, hundreds of students not allowed into school due to potentially having been exposed, so all those parents have to cope with the kids now being home during the day. The anti-vax terrorists just keep on giving.

    This bit totally gets me:
    the boy’s parents declined a second dose of the tetanus-fighting medication and “any other recommended immunizations.”

    I have thought it through plenty....it is sad that innocent kids have to suffer becasue their parents are fukwits , but lack of access to education gets trumped by the fact they could be vectors of contagious dieseases that can have life changing effects.


    And the issue could easily be fixed by their parents.

    If there's a vaccine with a aluminium adjuvant Vs saline placebo clinical trials, please share.

    If it's from the same place you got your information about aluminium ingestion Vs injection are the same, please just ignore my request.

    From the WHO expert panel recommendations...
    Randomised, placebo-controlled trials are widely considered the gold standard for evaluating the safety and efficacy of a new vaccine. In these trials, participants are randomized to receive either the vaccine under investigation or a placebo (i.e. an inert substance, such as a saline injection). Randomisation and the use of placebo interventions are designed to control for confounding effects, such that significant differences in disease incidence or adverse effects between the vaccine and control groups can likely be attributed to the vaccine. However, randomised, placebo-controlled trial designs often raise ethical concerns when participants in the control arm are deprived of an existing vaccine. Furthermore, testing a new vaccine against placebo is scientifically and ethically fraught when the hypothesis being tested is whether an experimental vaccine is more efficacious than one already in use in the same or in other settings.
    It would be unethical to use the placebo when a safe vaccine already exists as this would leave the study participant unprotected.

    It is ethical to use an adjuvant instead of the vaccine in trials where the vaccine will have that adjuvant in it. Aluminium adjuvants can be used as placebo as they have been around long enough to have been studied for safety.

    The study linked above goes more in-depth into acceptable and unacceptable uses placebos in clinical trials. You can peruse at your leisure.

    As regards saline placebo, some vaccine studies do use them. A few are listed below:

    You are right, I have only a slight idea of how vaccines work, however my doctor who has the training to understand how they work considers the risk of side effects a minor issue compared to the life threatening aspects of the diseases.

    But there is no credible evidence linking autism to vaccines, it would be just as easy to show a link between autism and the number of cars on the road...are you walking everywhere?
