Adjuvants & Additives at a glance:

According to the CDC: “Chemicals commonly used in the production of vaccines include a suspending fluid (sterile water, saline, or fluids containing protein); preservatives and stabilizers (for example, albumin, phenols, and glycine); and adjuvants or enhancers that help improve the vaccine’s effectiveness. Vaccines also may contain very small amounts of the culture material used to grow the virus or bacteria used in the vaccine, such as chicken egg protein.” [1]

Why should I be concerned?

  • Many of the additives found in vaccines, such as mercury and aluminum, are toxic.
  • Heavy metal exposure is linked to autism. [2]
  • Certain adjuvants are linked to allergies and anaphylaxis. [3]
