(Jul. 7, 2026) — Animal studies demonstrate that aluminum hydroxide – the same form found in pediatric vaccines – causes autoimmunity, asthma and allergic rhinitis. This is true for studies that use massive or, corrected per body weight, doses that overlap early-life exposure in human patients on the CDC’s schedule. These studies were not conducted to prove that aluminum causes autoimmunity: they were done to provide animal models so pharma can study their drugs for aluminum-caused conditions.
When a vaccine schedule is trimmed, the reflex question is “how many shots came off the list?” It is also the wrong question — at least if what you care about is aluminum.
The proposed revision to the CDC childhood schedule removes universal hepatitis B (including the birth dose), drops hepatitis A, cuts HPV from two doses to one, and downgrades several others to shared clinical decision-making. Count the aluminum-containing doses and you get a tidy 24% reduction in total injected aluminum across the first two years. Tidy — and nearly meaningless. A developing body does not experience a two-year sum. It experiences a curve.
This is the proposed scheduled as provided by Sharyl Attkisson on X (Thank you, Sharyl!):
We will now see the difference between higher and lower early-life exposure to aluminum in vaccines doses.
The measure that matters is area, not dose count
To compare the proposed and existing schedules, I ran the current and the proposed schedules through the same retention model our tools use: Priest’s long-retention kernel with dose superposition, scored against the FDA per-dose aluminum ceiling of 850 µg (21 CFR 610.15) scaled to a child’s body weight by the Clark Rule, following Lyons-Weiler & Ricketson (2018). Every aluminum dose deposits a bolus the body clears quickly at first and then holds for a long time; each new dose stacks on the residue of the last. The output is a jagged curve of modeled body burden rising and falling against a limit line that itself climbs as the child grows.
The single most informative number on that chart is not the dose count and not the total micrograms. It is the exceedance area — the modeled body burden that sits above the weight-adjusted limit, integrated across every day of the first two years. It captures both how far over the line a child goes and for how long. Magnitude and duration, in one figure. It is the measure a dose tally cannot see.
