Some Vaccine's Contain Aluminum, Is That A Good Thing?

Vaccines have long been a crucial part of public health, helping to prevent outbreaks of contagious diseases. In the complex formulation of vaccines, one of the components that often comes under scrutiny is aluminum. This article will explore the role of aluminum in vaccines, its benefits, potential risks, and the ongoing discussion surrounding its use. What is Aluminum in the Context of…

Vaccines are crucial in safeguarding public health by preventing serious diseases that can lead to significant medical problems. By stimulating the immune system, vaccines help the body recognize and fight off specific pathogens, reducing the incidence of illnesses such as measles, mumps, and rubella.

When considering your health as an adult, staying up-to-date with vaccinations is crucial. At the medical shop in Old Bridge, New Jersey, our dedicated staff is ready to guide you through the options and updates in adult vaccinations. Many people overlook the necessity of continuing vaccinations into adulthood, but these are essential for maintaining long-term health and preventing outbreaks of diseases that are easily avoidable with the right immunizations.

"Every year, over 350,000 women die from cervical cancer and another 660,000 are diagnosed. [Note: Plus trans men and other trans people with a cervix.] As a consequence, children are orphaned, families impoverished and communities diminished by the loss of mothers, wives, daughters and sisters. 

And yet, unlike most other cancers, almost all these cases and deaths can be averted. We have powerful vaccines that can prevent infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer; we have diagnostics to detect it early; and we have treatments for those it strikes. With these tools, cervical cancer can not only be stopped; it could become the first cancer to be eliminated. Some high-income countries are already close to elimination, meaning fewer than four cases per 100,000 women.

But in many low- and middle-income countries, these tools are still not available, which is why 94% of cervical cancer deaths occur in those countries. 

In 2018, WHO launched a global call to action to eliminate cervical cancer, which was followed in 2020 by the adoption by all 194 WHO Member States of a Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer as a Public Health Problem. The strategy calls for countries to achieve three targets by 2030: 90% of girls fully immunised against HPV; 70% of women receiving timely screening; and 90% of those found with precancer or cancer accessing treatment.

These targets are not just aspirational, they are achievable, even in low- and middle-income countries.  Bhutan has already reached the targets, the first to do so in the South-East Asia region. 

Since introducing the HPV vaccine in 2011, Rwanda has reached vaccine coverage of 90%, and today announced its national goal to reach the 90-70-90 targets three years ahead of schedule, by 2027. Already, in two districts – Gicumbi and Karongi – Rwanda is meeting those goals. Nigeria, which introduced the HPV vaccine in October last year [2023], has already vaccinated 12.3 million girls.  

We have the tools and the opportunity to eliminate cervical cancer. 

Since WHO issued the global call to action in 2018, more than 60 countries have introduced the HPV vaccine into their immunisation programmes, bringing the total to 144 countries that are routinely protecting girls from cervical cancer in later life. With scientific advances, we can now prevent cervical cancer with just a single dose, which 60 countries are now doing.  

The largest provider of HPV vaccines to low- and middle-income countries is Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, which plans to vaccinate 120 million children between now and 2030. But this plan requires that investments in health are sustained. We are also counting on manufacturers to confirm and honour their commitments to provide HPV vaccines to low- and middle-income countries in the coming years, to avoid the supply constraints that held back progress in the past.

But we cannot rely on vaccines alone. The impact of the rapid scale-up in vaccinating girls now will not be seen for decades, when they reach the adult years when cervical cancer typically appears. To save lives now, we must match the increase  in vaccination with increases in screening and treatment. 

Decades ago, as more women gained access to pap smears in developed countries, the mortality associated with cervical cancer dropped rapidly. Today, even better tests are available. Over 60 countries now include high-performance HPV tests as part of their screening programs. Women can even collect their own samples for HPV testing, removing more barriers to life-saving services. In Australia – which is on track to become one of the first countries in the world to achieve elimination – more than a quarter of all screening tests are now done this way...

Several countries are also investigating the use of artificial intelligence to enhance the accuracy of screening in resource-limited settings. When women are found with precancerous lesions, many are now treated with portable battery-powered devices, which can be operated in remote locations."

huh, cool

i'm gonna give away where i work with this status lol but i feel like way more people need to be aware of what the national immunization survey is.

the national immunization survey is a survey conducted on behalf of the CDC via phone. it's the CDC's primary source of immunization data in the country, and it's been going on since 1994. random phone numbers are called to make sure that people from all backgrounds are being fairly represented, so it's a totally random deal if you're selected to participate. i know there's a ton of weird scam calls out there, but if you get a call from someone about an immunization survey and the caller ID says CDC NATL IMMUN, it's 100% legitimate.

you can read more information about it on the CDC's website.

even if you have never been vaccinated, are against vaccinations, etc, your response is important so the survey results aren't biased and so your voice is also heard. the survey is not trying to convince anyone to get vaccinated; it's just collecting numbers. it's also about more than just covid vaccinations. (like i said, the survey has been conducted since 1994, so it far predates covid.)

even if you don't want to participate, please don't be mean to the interviewer who called you. we're just trying to make a living. you would not believe the things we get called, and it's so beyond unacceptable. literally all you have to do is ask the interviewer to remove you from the list. you have to say those exact words and then we'll leave you alone. please for the love of god stop cussing us out. just say take me off the list. it's that easy.

tl;dr if you get a call from the CDC about a survey, it's NOT a spam call. be nice. we're tired.

This is Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer,

who implemented the would-be mandatory vaccines that led to tens of thousands of people with no pre-existing conditions, including children and elderly, getting life-changing "vax injuries" such as chronic blood clots, various heart complications, and ferrous graphine oxide, which is toxic, found in the blood of the afflicted. Most of which still haven't fully recovered to this day. ANYWAY, HERE'S A BUNCH OF RANDOM PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT HIM!

Me going ‘aw fuck’ as I realize that not-great social life as a kid is something that impacts my head today.

Off grandpa duty for another week or two because he has shingles. My mother in law is frustrated but oddly understanding because I have an autoimmune disorder that effects my skin and I absolutely can not be around him.

Kinda miss my grandpa time but it'll be nice for another week or two home.

da hye really went from "i will leave you" to "i will leave for you" just to make her third 180 and finally decide to stay instead of running

[androidboy]

me & my boss had a lil talk today and we think we’re gonna do a trial run of me working a 5 day work week 🙏

trial run for whether it’s sustainable for shop finances and whether it’s sustainable for my chronic illness. might even do somewhat of a lagged night shift which would be helpful because id actually be able to get shit done life-wise before starting after noon

[feral-ass-raccoon]

had a conversation with @xxxprogamer69xxx earlier today so i'll throw this out to y'all:

if your child has strep by all means give them tea w/ honey! yes that will work and help the sore throat!! no it will not get rid of the bacteria!!!! please get them antibiotics!!!!!!! we have medical science for a reason folks please just vaccinate your children it's not hard. no it doesn't cause Autism or Gay. yes it will keep them from dying of The Plague. no the juniper berry and sage mix you made as a "natural organic cure-all" will not fix the infected scrape. please.
