Deposition of Dr. Stanley Plotkin 09 Aluminum Adjuvants, Health Outcomes, Randomized Studies

00:00:15 Still looking for difficult co-factors in an eventual retrospective study: wild polio, diphtheria. These are easy to control
00:03:49 Such retrospective study has been requested from different groups: advocacy groups and institutions
00:05:58 Exhibit 24: Pilot Comparative Health Study on Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Children, Jackson State University
00:07:55 The witness admits that money influences the publications on scientific journals, but only if the reports are against vaccines
00:08:46 Odds ratio section of the study with total health outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated children
00:12:50 Exhibit 25: another study from the same group of professors at the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Jackson State University: association between vaccinated and preterm children
00:17:59 Exhibit 26: Peter Aaby’s study on African community where children getting vaccinated have ten times higher death rate
00:27:16 Discussions about the whole-cell DTaP vaccine analyzed by Peter Aaby in his study, a vaccine largely used in developing countries
00:28:06 Exhibit 27: 1994 IOM report; the committee identified little information on the reasons why some people suffer from serious adverse reaction after getting vaccines
00:29:25 Exhibit 28: an excerpt from a study on the genetic predispositions to adverse reactions from vaccines
00:34:54 A group of researchers from the University of Columbia is looking at the aluminum adjuvants in vaccines
00:36:53 Antigens of inactivated vaccines are too weak, so extra alum needs to be added to them
00:37:19 Aluminum can be recovered months and years later from the vaccine injection's site
00:38:37 The witness confirms that the alum absorbed by antigen can bind to macrophages and dendritic cells
00:39:31 The witness admits that injected aluminum can travel to the brain
00:40:10 Exhibit 29: A study published in Vaccine journal showing that injected aluminum into rabbits can travel to the brain
00:42:01 Another study from 2009 using mice, found that they got several adverse reactions in their CNS, brain damage
