Aluminium is a major component of most clays = in most water = evolutionarily harmless - unless you have a crooked legal system abetted by RFK Jr - who is probably killing many children via his position!

Aluminum is part of natural materials, but I see no evidence that it naturally gets into a human's blood in similar levels to injected aluminum from vaccines. See my reply to the "10X more aluminum in a muffin than a vaccine" comment on this page.

(disclaimer - not anti-vax, just addressing a simplistic argument that didn't hold up to scrutiny)

You may not be a card-carrying anti-vaxxer, but you muddy the waters in such a way that you advance their position.

Really? So you're proposing facts should be curated, to keep them away from the other side?

We know aluminum accumulates in the brain at a rate that is indistinguishable between vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

In other words, we know where the aluminum is not coming from, namely, vaccines.

Although aluminum at high doses can cause a variety of clinical manifestations, the quantity of aluminum in vaccines is too small to cause a direct toxic effect. Indeed, the quantity of aluminum in biological specimens from those receiving aluminum-containing vaccines is indistinguishable from unvaccinated subjects. The concern that aluminum in vaccines might be associated with a rare autoimmune disease called macrophagic myofasciitis has been refuted by previous studies.

These grifters take something that sounds bad but out of context, make way too big a deal about it, then turn around and sell you supplements to fix the problems. I have no idea why anyone trusts them but it seems to work

Supplements, which by the way do not need any FDA approval or need to verify their claims to be sold.

Isn’t it a coincidence that the loudest voices against vaccines also earned their wealth peddling supplements on their shows?

I was wondering about this myself since I saw Milo Rossi's intense takedown of Shayne Truth Vibes, another anti-vaxxer and overall conspiracy theorist https://youtu.be/-gxg7l_Hxa0?feature=shared. He's explained it as predatory behaviour that feeds fears to promote whatever it is they are peddling as the one and only solution to these fears.

Chlorine is a major component in table salts = in most food = evolutionarily harmless!

See how that doesn't make sense?

I try and avoid salt water.

You are salt water.

Well, most of you is.

We are talking ions in the blood, and chlorine ions are a standard component. In fact you'd have a problem if you didn't have them.
