Do vaccines cause meat allergies?

Peter McCullough’s organization is saying that vaccines contain “54 mg of alpha-gal-bearing gelatin” which can cause meat allergies and other health issues.

• AGS is a serious allergy that can develop after a tick bite.
• There is no evidence that vaccines cause AGS. Cases mostly occur where lone star ticks live.
• People with AGS should ask their health care provider about vaccines that contain gelatin.

Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is an allergy that can develop after a tick bite. People with AGS react to a sugar called alpha-gal, which is found in most mammals. These reactions can be life-threatening.

Their study suggests that gelatin in some vaccines, including some MMR vaccines, might cause this allergy. But there is no evidence that vaccines cause AGS. Although researchers are still studying how tick bites trigger the allergy, gaps in our knowledge do not show that vaccines are a cause.

Vaccination patterns also do not match where AGS is most common. MMR vaccines are given across the country, while AGS cases are mostly found in areas where lone star ticks live. This pattern supports the link to tick bites.

Some vaccines contain gelatin made from mammals. If a child already has AGS, their health care provider can help decide whether these vaccines are safe for them. A possible allergic reaction in someone who already has AGS is different from a vaccine causing the condition.
