Formaldehyde

Finally, a scientific look at what formaldehyde actually is, what it does, and why it is in vaccines.

Formaldehyde is a normal, essential human metabolite with a biological half-life of about 1.5 minutes (Clary and Sullivan 2001). It is endogenously produced and is involved with methylation reactions for and biosynthesis of some proteins and nucleic acids. It is also rapidly metabolised to formate and excreted in urine or to carbon dioxide and exhaled (WHO, 2006 and Clary and Sullivan 2001). ~ JustTheVax

Just the vax…

Two of the scientists whom I highly respect have started a blog to discuss vaccinations.

Parents of unvaccinated children have more dangerous diseases to consider than parents of vaccinated children - some parents do not think first. In the year 2000, an unvaccinated preteen came down with a fever and parents took him to a pediatrician’s practise. He infected six children in the waiting room with measles, three of these children were under 12 months old. Two are now dying.

SSPE was something no one ever mentioned when I began my first foray into the vaccine controversy three years ago. But as there are more and more outbreaks of measles, it will become something that is ever more important to know about.
