I wonder how the Danish vaccine schedule compares to the US, vis a vis total aluminum content.


Don’t know but I’d highly doubt it’s relevant.

> The aluminum contained in vaccines is similar to that found in a liter (about 1 quart or 32 fluid ounces) of infant formula. While infants receive about 4.4 milligrams* of aluminum in the first six months of life from vaccines, they receive more than that in their diet. Breast-fed infants ingest about 7 milligrams, formula-fed infants ingest about 38 milligrams, and infants who are fed soy formula ingest almost 117 milligrams of aluminum during the first six months of life.

Not that I think vaccines are in any way harmful, but your own link goes on to point out that less than 1% of ingested aluminium ends up in the blood so just quoting the numbers like that doesn't add much.


Yea immediately after I posted this I thought "ah shit someone is going to say ingesting vs injecting is different". It's still interesting as a comparison I think and the source is a solid one so I left it up.


You can check the figures yourself: https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/ANNALS-25-00997

Thanks to a long term study over a changing schedule they were able to layer the subjects by cumulative aluminum exposure from vaccination with aluminum-adsorbed vaccines.

No adverse associations were found, from low to high levels.

This was a study on humans, not mice, and to the best of my reading neither Tomljenovic nor Shaw were involved here.
