Robert F. Kennedy Jr. <\/strong>has often trained his criticisms of vaccines on a common ingredient: aluminum, which he has suggested is responsible for a litany of childhood ailments, including food allergies<\/a>, autism<\/a> and depression.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYou wonder why a whole generation of children is allergic to stuff,\u201d Mr. Kennedy said during a 2021 interview<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s because we\u2019re inducing allergies, pumping them full of aluminum.\u201d<\/p>\n

To many vaccine scientists, aluminum is a strange target. It is among the most studied ingredient in vaccines, and perhaps in modern medicine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a huge amount of information that\u2019s gathered,\u201d said Dr. Andrew Racine, a pediatrician and chief medical officer at the Montefiore Health System. \u201cIf there was something jumping out about a lack of safety, we would most likely have seen it someplace, and it just doesn\u2019t appear.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Aluminum salts, a more soluble form of the metal, are added to vaccines like the Tdap shot to bolster the body\u2019s immune response. The ingredient has repeatedly been evaluated as a part of vaccines in clinical trials and administered in billions of doses<\/a> over several decades.<\/p>\n

Even so, as Mr. Kennedy prepares for confirmation hearings as secretary of health and human services, many experts fear the standby will face fresh scrutiny, and may even serve as a justification for limiting access to several childhood vaccines, like the shots for hepatitis B and pneumococcal disease.<\/p>\n
