My X timeline, I’ve mentioned elsewhere recently, has become flooded of late, for some opaque reason, with pro-vaccine peddlers of The Science™.
One of the common pseudoscientific narratives I’ve noted these people promulgating is “but your tea has more aluminum in it than vaccines” — wildly misleading for reasons we’ll discuss here.
There's more aluminium in your morning cup of tea than there is in vaccines

The amount of aluminum in select vaccines is

up to 72 TIMES LESS aluminum than you ingest daily from foods
and
up to 400 TIMES LESS aluminum than is in your body at any time.

First of all, if one is being honest — which, of course, these people have proven themselves incapable of over the past five years, but really much longer than that — one is forced to consider the route of administration.
When you do, you discover that the rate of absorption of heavy metals when ingested (i.e., through tea) dwarfs the rate of absorption via injection (by vaccine) at roughly a thousand-to-one ratio.
Via Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation (emphasis added):
Measurement of (26)Al by high-energy accelerator mass spectrometry has permitted more accurate analyses. In normal young rats, 0.05-0.1% of ingested aluminium is absorbed in the intestine, of which roughly half goes to the skeleton within 2 h, whereas the remaining half is excreted in the urine, most of it within 48 h. Deposition in organs other than the skeleton appears to be negligible. In healthy human volunteers, the most recent estimates of fractional intestinal (26)Al absorption were also in the range of 0.06-0.1%. In both rats and humans.
So, put a 0.05-0.1% absorption rate through dietary sources up against a 100% absorption rate through injections (i.e., vaccines), and you get a wildly different picture in terms of how much of those heavy metals end up in the body rather than a simple apples-to-apples comparison based solely on the amount of heavy metals.
Via Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology:
Toxicity from aluminum from vaccines and other parenteral sources (breast milk, formula, or water) can be expected to be different because of the difference in absorption, distribution, elimination, and retention between ingestion and injection. It is commonly perceived that children receive more aluminum from oral sources than from vaccines; however, McFarland et al. also found that infants up to six months are exposed internally to far more aluminum from vaccines (100 % absorption) than from oral exposure (about 0.3 % absorption), contradicting the common misconception that the reverse is true once body weight and pass-through intestinal clearance of aluminum from parenteral sources are considered.

Furthermore — and this is the really sick thing — babies, who are recommended by the Public Health™ authorities to receive the hepatitis B vaccine at birth (soon to be remedied by RFK Jr., hopefully), do not possess the same capacities to sequester and eliminate these toxins as adults because their kidney function is not comparable straight out of the womb.
So, not only are their little bodies receiving a greater per capita, if you will, dose of aluminum through vaccines, but they actually struggle to rid themselves of the greater quantity with the same efficiency as adults.
In fact, they don’t achieve kidney filtration parity with adults until they’re two years old, well after they’ve received multiple shots according to the CDC schedule.
Via Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology:
An important question these results raise is how to best judge a "safe" level of exposure to aluminum. Estimates of aluminum exposure and retention are not useful without some safe limit to compare against. Links between aluminum and various disorders would make it unwarranted to assume that there is a level of aluminum which is universally “safe”, and the impact of oral and injected exposure have been demonstrated to vary, with normal absorption of only a tiny percentage of ingested forms of aluminum. The FDA has recommended limiting injected doses for adults to 850 μg. This level reflects the minimum amount considered required to induce an immune response in adults. Standard medical dosing practices and toxicological principles would mandate scaling this limit based on weight to calculate doses for children, assuming that safe dose levels are different for a 60 kg adult compared to a 3 kg newborn. Even if all the individual vaccines in a proposed schedule meet this weight-adjusted limit, administration of multiple aluminum-containing vaccines in a single day could easily exceed a recommended safe limit which considers body weight…
Priest’s results show that after a single injection approximately 5 % of the original aluminum remains in the body of an adult a year after the dose but examined only aluminum excreted in urine. Even assuming infants clear at the same rate as adults, which is not based on any empirical evidence, it is reasonable to expect that not only the dosage of vaccinations but how closely they are spaced in time will impact the aluminum level for infants in the first two years of life given their low body weight…
Among the three schedules presented here, the CDC schedule exceeds the recommended dose limit for an infant (inferred from FDA adult “safe” levels) as a result of the simultaneous administration of multiple ACVs [aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines] and insufficient spacing of ACVs…
Aluminum toxicity from vaccines can be expected to be increased from other exposures such as aluminum in food (formula; [34];30,871,123) and aluminum used to buffer drinking water. Individual infants with incompletely closed intestinal barriers, or with autoimmune gastric and intestinal lesions may be experiencing much higher doses of aluminum than a pediatrician may be aware…
All analyses to date, including our own, use aluminum clearance rate data from adults, which likely is an overly optimistic aluminum clearance rate for neonates and infants. Most excretion of aluminum is accomplished by filtration of aluminum from the blood by the glomeruli of the kidney. Renal function in infants is not fully developed: infants’ glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is not fully online at birth and increases from 10 to 20 mL/min/1.73 m2 during the first day of life to 30–40 mL/min/1.73 m2 by 2 weeks of life (Sulemanji and Vakili [55]; 24,331,094). In neonates, the GFR at birth is even worse (Sulemanji and Vakili [55]; 24,331,094) and increases more slowly compared to infants (3,761,090). While the kidney is structurally mature at 36 weeks, the GFR does not reach adult levels until 2 years of age.
Scientific literature notwithstanding, this would seem like intuitive stuff — even for the layperson such as me, who got a C in chemistry in high school and assumed that astronomy involved mostly star-gazing, only to discover in college, to my visceral horror, that it involved algebraic equations:
- A toxin introduced to the body through the digestive tract, which is evolved to handle these things, is dramatically different from a toxin introduced directly into the tissue, for which there is no natural defense mechanism, as the syringe is an extremely novel invention in the vast arc of evolutionary development; and
- Tiny baby organs don’t have the same capacity for filtering toxins that fully developed adult ones do.
