Are Peanut Adjuvants in Vaccines Responsible for the Peanut Allergy Epidemic?
Have you ever wondered why so many kids these days are allergic to peanuts? Where did this allergy come from all of a sudden? Before 1900, reactions to peanuts were unheard of. Today almost a 1.5 million children in this country are allergic to peanuts. What happened? Why is everybody buying EpiPens now? Looking at all the problems with vaccines during the past decade, just a superficial awareness is enough to raise the suspicion that vaccines might have some role in the appearance of any novel allergy among children. But reactions to peanuts are not just another allergy. Peanut allergy has suddenly emerged as the #1 cause of death from food reactions, being in a category of allergens able to cause anaphylaxis. This condition brings the risk of asthma attack, shock, respiratory failure, and even death. Primarily among children. Sources cited in Heather Fraser’s 2011 book The Peanut Allergy Epidemic suggest a vaccine connection much more specifically. We learn that a class of vaccine adjuvants – excipients – is a likely suspect in what may accurately be termed an epidemic. But let’s back up a little. We have to look at both vaccines and antibiotics in recent history, and the physical changes the ingredients in these brand new medicines introduced into the blood of children.
