RFK Jr. tries to tie aluminum in vaccines to food allergies

Tuesday, November 18, 2025-RFK Jr. has sparked controversy again by suggesting a link between aluminum used in vaccines and the rise of food allergies. He claimed that exposure to aluminum-based adjuvants could be contributing to allergic reactions in children, drawing attention from both supporters and medical experts.

Health authorities and researchers quickly pushed back, emphasizing that extensive studies show vaccines are safe and that aluminum in vaccines is present in very small, controlled amounts. Experts note that no credible evidence links these adjuvants to food allergies, and vaccines remain a critical tool in preventing serious diseases.

Despite the pushback, the claims have reignited debate among parents and advocacy groups, with social media amplifying the discussion. Public health officials are urging families to rely on scientifically validated information when making decisions about vaccinations.
