overrated and the risk of potential adverse effects underestimated, has

Aluminum vaccine

adjuvants: are they safe?

Tomljenovic L, Shaw CA.

Curr Med Chem. 2011;18(17):2630-7.

Aluminum is an experimentally demonstrated neurotoxin and the most

commonly used vaccine adjuvant. Despite almost 90 years of widespread use

of aluminum adjuvants, medical science's understanding about their

mechanisms of action is still remarkably poor. There is also a concerning

scarcity of data on toxicology and pharmacokinetics of these compounds.

In spite of this, the notion that aluminum in vaccines is safe appears to

be widely accepted. Experimental research, however, clearly shows that

aluminum adjuvants have a potential to induce serious immunological

disorders in humans. In particular, aluminum in adjuvant form carries a

risk for autoimmunity, long-term brain inflammation and associated

neurological complications and may thus have profound and widespread

adverse health consequences. In our opinion, the possibility that vaccine

benefits may have been overrated and the risk of potential adverse

effects underestimated, has not been rigorously evaluated in the medical

and scientific community. We hope that the present paper will provide a

framework for a much needed and long overdue assessment of this highly

contentious medical issue.
