A new poll says that about three-quarters of Canadian adults still have confidence in vaccines, but hesitancy has increased over the last five years.

New analysis from a WHO global expert committee on vaccine safety has found that, based on available evidence, no causal link exists between vaccines and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The conclusion reaffirms WHO’s position that childhood vaccines do not cause autism.

Thankfully, we now know more about conditions such as autism and ADHD. The health secretary must not be part of this attempt to turn back the clock, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Aluminum salts have been used as adjuvants in vaccines for nearly a century, enhancing the immune response to purified antigens and ensuring durable protection against serious infectious diseases. Despite their longstanding record of safety and effectiveness, aluminum adjuvants have become a focus of public concern, with claims linking them to developmental, neurologic, allergic, and autoimmune diseases. This review summarizes the immunologic rationale for aluminum adjuvants and evaluates the evidence for proposed safety risks. Aluminum salts have consistently been demonstrated over nearly a century of use to enhance the immune responses elicited by vaccines while also being well-tolerated by nearly all who take them. Pharmacokinetic studies show that aluminum released from intramuscular vaccines is slowly absorbed and efficiently cleared by the kidneys, contributing minimally to systemic levels. Large-scale clinical and epidemiologic studies consistently demonstrate no association between aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines and autism spectrum disorder, neurotoxicity, allergic disease, or autoimmune disease. Clinically, vaccines adjuvanted solely with aluminum salts generally do not result in systemic reactogenicity, though local reactions are common. Collectively, the evidence strongly supports the safety of aluminum adjuvants and their necessity in certain vaccines. Clinicians can reassure caregivers that aluminum-containing vaccines provide clear benefits, with risks largely limited to transient local reactions and no systemic toxicity signal in large clinical and epidemiologic studies.

To prevent economic collapse amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the government unleashed the power it always had. New programs caused hunger, evictions, and child poverty to plummet. Why not just continue them? Because employers thrive on desperation.

Researchers discovered why bird flu can survive temperatures that stop human flu in its tracks. A key gene, PB1, gives avian viruses the ability to replicate even at fever-level heat. Mice experiments confirmed that fever cripples human-origin flu but not avian strains, especially those with avian-like PB1. These findings highlight how gene swapping could fuel future pandemics.

The CDC website now falsely suggests that autism-vaccine research is still an open question, prompting distrust among researchers—some of whom anticipate “more unreliable statements coming from the junta that took over” the agency.
