A 2000 CDC meeting sparked long-running rumors about vaccine safety. We explain what really happened at Simpsonwood and what science says today.
Why are scientists studying aluminum in vaccines? We explain why aluminum is used, what the evidence says about safety, and why research is still ongoing.
Are even one or two vaccines unsafe? This post looks at the science on SIDS, brain development, autism and why spacing out shots doesn’t make them safer.
Do more childhood vaccines mean more autism? This post breaks down the claim and explains why decades of research show the schedule does not cause autism.
Aluminum in vaccines doesn’t build up or harm kids. Studies show it’s safe, quickly leaves the body, and doesn’t cause chronic health problems.
Vaccines don’t spread toxins or cause widespread harm despite claims made in a recent interview. Learn the truth about safety, ingredients, and effectiveness.
Thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative once used in vaccines, contains ethylmercury—not the harmful kind found in fish. Studies show it’s safe, doesn’t cause autism, and hasn’t been in childhood vaccines since 2001.
A closer look at the science behind aluminum in vaccines shows it’s safe, well-studied, and used in tiny amounts that don’t pose health risks to children.
