#Adjuvants
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have unveiled a promising new vaccine that generates a powerful immune response against HIV and other viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza with just ONE dose. By combining immune-boosting adjuvants, the vaccine encourages the body to generate more antibody variations.

and SMNP and showed that vaccines containing both of those adjuvants could generate even more powerful immune responses against EITHER HIV or SARS-CoV-2. In this new study, researchers wanted to explore why these two adjuvants work so well together to boost the immune response, specifically the

The CDC confirmed that. No adjuvants in these vaccines
A bit behind right now. Malone asks a question about adjuvants in MMRV and MMR vaccines. THERE ARE NO ADJUVANTS in these vaccines. Sheesh. #acip

You don’t adjuvant live vaccines.

Dr. Malone, by asking about adjuvants in MMR v. MMRV, just reminded us he doesn’t actually understand this issue.

Today, there is strong evidence to suggest aluminum adjuvants are safe for use in childhood vaccines. Plus, each year, about four million deaths are avoided because of these immunizations. Childhood vaccinations don't threaten children's lives, they save them.

Dr. Malone asked about adjuvants in MMR. Live-attenuated vaccines like MMR don’t use adjuvants. Because the weakened virus replicates a bit in the host, it naturally provides the innate immune stimulus — the very role adjuvants play in non-live vaccines.

They don't understand why live vaccines don't have adjuvants.🙄

Looks like Kennedy is continuing his campaign to cut vaccine access by stealth by targeting Aluminium salts- these are adjuvants which are added to some vaccines to stimulate the immune system-quick explainer 🧪 #ImmunoSky 🧵

Because claims RFK Jr. made on Mikhaila Peterson’s podcast are SO egregiously false on multiple levels, I dissected it.

Key points:
Peanut oil isn’t a vaccine excipient.
Aluminum is not allergenic.
How aluminum adjuvants work is VASTLY different than food allergy immunology.

1/
Aluminum vaccine adjuvants are not causing food allergies
RFK Jr. is, yet again, spreading dangerous and false information on immunology concepts he doesn't understand

I’ll say this again: so many mRNA-based phase II trials could be funded with a fraction of the money spent on spicy machine learning (not to mention things like adjuvants etc).

Why Do Some Vaccines Have Adjuvants? to have a stronger immune response with less antigen: to reduce risks and increase effectiveness, explains @aboutpediatrics.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/stopanti...
Why Do Some Vaccines Have Adjuvants?
Vaccine adjuvants help many vaccines work better with the fewest possible side effects and doses.

This flies in the face of one of RFK’s frequent claims that aluminum adjuvants cause great harm, including raising risk of autism.

Aluminum adjuvants are contained in many childhood vaccines and are likely to be discussed at an upcoming meeting of RFK’s new ACIP committee.
September 5, 2025 at 11:33 PM
This is fucking terrifying. In one meeting acip could shatter access to multiple vaccines by attacking adjuvants, childhood vaccines schedule and hepatitis B
ACIP has posted a draft agenda for their upcoming meeting on 12/4 and 12/5.

Alarm bells are blaring. They are going to spend the entire first day talking about the vaccine schedule.

There is no evidence whatsoever that there is any danger whatsoever with the current vaccine schedule.

Je suis curieux de savoir si les journalistes qui, comme Stéphane Foucart du Monde, glosaient sur l'incertitude des adjuvants aluminiques vont bien relayer cette étude.

12/ A note on rare reactions:
Some ingredients like gelatin or neomycin can very rarely trigger allergic reactions in people w specific sensitivities (e.g., anaphylaxis).
Certain adjuvants may cause mild local reactions, & alum-based adjuvants can sometimes cause injection site reactions.

My latest: news.immunologic.org/p/rfk-jrs-al...

I debunk ALL of RFK Jr.’s lies about aluminum & vaccines.

•Aluminum adjuvants in vaccines DO NOT CAUSE allergies or autism.

•You eat 70X more aluminum daily than any vaccine contains.

•There is no peanut oil in any vaccine. EVER.

RFK Jr.'s Aluminum Lie
No, aluminum vaccine adjuvants aren't causing autism, allergies, or other health issues. RFK Jr.'s conspiracy hinges on a 1961 patent, zero evidence, and total ignorance of immunology.

Someone replied to a post I helped write about the recent study on aluminum adjuvants in vaccines with the comment
"Amazing! I'll go get some aluminum pills!"

Antacids. They are called antacids.
July 20, 2025 at 5:12 PM
Today RFK Jr. both suggested that aluminum adjuvants in vaccines cause peanut allergies *and* admitted there are no data to support this hypothesis, so he wants to find some.

Like if you took the scientific method, turned it backward and inside out and made it puke, you’d get RFK Jr.’s thoughts.
