The Truth About Vaccines

His fully referenced paper includes various credible supporting citations including a 2011 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report.

And the Institute of Medicine (IOM) lamented in 2012 that “for the majority of cases (135 vaccine-adverse event pairs), the evidence was inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship.”[3⁠ ]

The evidence for vaccine safety claims simply does NOT exist.

Allergies are merely a part of the autoimmune epidemic plaguing over vaccinated children worldwide (an ever expanding vaccine schedule which has never been tested for cumulative health effects on children).

And regarding this crucial ignored health subject, what does the "Godfather of Autoimmunology" have to say..

Attacking Ourselves: Top Doctors Reveal Vaccines Turn Our Immune System Against Us

The research is hard to ignore, vaccines can trigger autoimmunity with a laundry list of diseases to follow. With harmful and toxic metals as some vaccine ingredients, who is susceptible and which individuals are more at risk?

No one would accuse Yehuda Shoenfeld of being a quack. The Israeli clinician has spent more than three decades studying the human immune system and is at the pinnacle of his profession. You might say he is more foundation than fringe in his specialty; he wrote the textbooks. The Mosaic of Autoimmunity, Autoantibodies, Diagnostic Criteria in Autoimmune Diseases, Infection and Autoimmunity, Cancer and Autoimmunity – the list is 25 titles long and some of them are cornerstones of clinical practice. Hardly surprising that Shoenfeld has been called the "Godfather of Autoimmunology" – the study of the immune system turned on itself in a wide array of diseases from type 1 diabetes to ulcerative colitis and multiple sclerosis.

But something strange is happening in the world of immunology lately and a small evidence of it is that the Godfather of Autoimmunology is pointing to vaccines – specifically, some of their ingredients including the toxic metal aluminum – as a significant contributor to the growing global epidemic of autoimmune diseases. The bigger evidence is a huge body of research that's poured in in the past 15 years, and particularly in the past five years. Take for example, a recent article published in the journal Pharmacological Research in which Shoenfeld and colleagues issue unprecedented guidelines naming four categories of people who are most at risk for vaccine-induced autoimmunity..

His paper? Vinu more generally appears as a female name as far as I can see?

Now what qualifications does this Vinu have in the field of immunology or more generally medicine in order to understand what she/he is reading? The answer appears to be none. The only reference of qualification one can find on Vinu Arumugham is as an Engineer from San Jose. All other google results lead to anti vax comments on blogs. And those blog comments are just repetition of the standard anti-vax trope.

Shoenfeld's theory about autoimmune disease being caused by adjuvants contained in vaccine remains unproven.

Vaccines and Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (ASIA)

Shoenfeld and co-workers working in Israel identified a disease they termed autoimmune autoinflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA). In 2017, Ameratunga and co-workers identified two studies refuting this claim. In one study, the hepatitis B vaccine containing an aluminum adjuvant did not exacerbate symptoms in patients with systemic lupus. A second study evaluated the incidence of autoimmune disease in more than 18,000 patients who received subcutaneous allergen-specific immunotherapy containing large quantities of injected aluminum adjuvants. Patients receiving injected aluminum were found to have a lower incidence of autoimmune disease compared with controls. The authors concluded that current studies do not support the existence of ASIA.
Other studies listed below show how aluminum in vaccines is well within the limit of safety determined by the Agency for Toxic Substance Disease Registry. For more information about the aluminum in vaccines, visit the vaccine ingredients-aluminum section of our website.
