Excerpts from a parent’s letter to his Pediatrician, one of which wanted to give the child 8 vaccines totaling 1000 mcgs. “Continuing, I mentioned what made us leave our last Doctor was that she wanted to give our daughter 8 vaccinations at once. And in doing the math, that would have added up to more than 1,000 mcg of aluminum.”
VLA comment: Are these doctors insane?
The following are examples of weight with their corresponding maximum levels of aluminum, per the FDA:
- 8 pound, healthy baby: 18.16 mcg of aluminum
- 15 pound, healthy baby: 34.05 mcg of aluminum
- 30 pound, healthy toddler: 68.1 mcg of aluminum
- 50 pound, healthy child: 113 mcg of aluminum
- 150 pound adult: 340.5 mcg of aluminum
- 350 pound adult: 794.5 mcg of aluminum
