Kennedy asserts that we cannot trust the study’s conclusion that aluminum in vaccines is safe for kids.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Facts:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=””]Aluminum is\u00a0the\u00a0third most abundant element on earth and is present in many of\u00a0the\u00a0foods we eat, in much higher quantities than found in vaccines. Any\u00a0aluminum<\/a>\u00a0injected from vaccines is metabolized in\u00a0the\u00a0body, and\u00a0the\u00a0vast majority of it is excreted within weeks<\/a><\/p>\n

Secretary Kennedy makes many errors in his analysis of the Danish study, which is the clearest evidence yet that aluminum adjuvants in vaccines are safe.<\/p>\n

He says the study left out the kids most likely to be harmed, such as children who died before age two or already had serious health problems. Then he suggests the researchers did this on purpose. But the study only looked at what happened after kids turned two. This was done so early that health issues wouldn\u2019t be mistaken for vaccine problems.<\/p>\n

He also protests that 34,547 kids were removed because their vaccine records seemed \u201cimplausible.\u201d The study explains these records were clearly wrong, probably due to mistakes made when the vaccine registry had problems from 2014 to 2017. The authors add that leaving out these kids would actually push the results toward showing no effect, not toward making vaccines look safer.<\/p>\n

He says the study\u00a0has \u201chealthy subject bias<\/a>\u201d and \u201ccollider bias<\/a>\u201d after adjusting for how often kids saw their family doctor. But researchers adjusted for doctor visits to account for differences in healthcare use, which is normal in studies like this. Researchers adjust for how often people visit the doctor so any health differences they see come from the vaccine or medicine being studied, not from the fact that frequent doctor-visitors are already different from those who rarely go.<\/p>\n

He also claims the researchers hid a \u201czero-aluminum\u201d (unvaccinated) group in the data. Actually, only about 1.2% of the kids were unvaccinated. The authors point out that comparing such a tiny, possibly very different group would skew the results and weaken the statistics. This is standard logic in observational studies.<\/p>\n

These are just some of the flaws in this analysis.\u00a0The\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0is reliable. It used health data from over 1.2 million children in Denmark, making it one of the largest studies of its kind. The researchers tracked these children for many years and used reliable national health records to look for long-term health problems like asthma, autism, and other chronic illnesses. They carefully adjusted for things like age, sex, and health history to make sure the comparisons were fair. They also ran extra tests and used different ways of looking at the data to double-check their results. Because of its size, long follow-up, and thorough design, the study gives strong evidence that aluminum in vaccines does not increase the risk of chronic diseases in children.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
