We know that aluminum is the new focus of folks who try to scare parents away from vaccinating and protecting their kids.
What are they talking about now?
Metabolic exposure, rates of absorption, and injected aluminum.
Even fellow anti-vaccine folks don’t really understand what he is talking about, but they are ready to eat it up, as it reflects their world view that vaccines are dangerous.
Is 100% of Injected Aluminum Absorbed?
So is all injected aluminum absorbed, as James Lyons-Weiler suggests in his promotional flyer?
Well, it’s going to be initially absorbed somewhere after the vaccine is injected, but not in the way anti-vaccine folks make you think.
It is not all absorbed into our blood right away! Part of the reason that adjuvants work might be because they act as a depot, allowing the vaccine antigens to remain at the injection site for a longer time to stimulate a good immune response.
“We were reassured to find no significant postvaccine rise in serum aluminum level after vaccination of preterm infants with vaccines containing a total of 1200 µg of aluminum.”

Remember, vaccines are not injected into our bloodstreams and the aluminum in vaccines, in the form of aluminum salts, is not soluble. That means that they don’t dissolve in liquids, but instead need to be metabolized first.
But then 100% gets absorbed?
Nope.
It is estimated that only about 17% of the injected aluminum, in the form of aluminum hydroxide, gets absorbed into the bloodstream.
Finally, after being initially injected, metabolized, and absorbed, most of the aluminum in vaccines is eliminated.
How is it eliminated?
Most of it is excreted in our urine.
Is there anything scary about all of that?
