A scientist who discovered pollutants in vaccines argues they can trigger “a long list of neurological diseases”.
Italian scientist Dr Stefano Montanari said autism is “not to be discarded” among the conditions the pollutants can trigger.
Montanari works with his wife and scientific colleague, Dr Antonietta Gatti.
Pollutants ‘appear to be in every vaccine’
The pair maintain their research focused on the “polluting micro and nanoparticles that appear to be present in every vaccine for human use”.
They say their research found lead, stainless steel, tungsten, phosphorous, nitrogen, carbon and chloride among the pollutants.
The researchers, who have a reputation for questioning vaccine safety, say Italian police recently seized their computers and documents.
Removal was illegal
Montanari says a court ruled the removal was illegal. Police then returned the couple’s computers and documents after 27 days.
The scientist said the officers who took the items deal with financial crimes and officially the raid had no connection to their research.
Among the list of pollutants the couple found in the MMR vaccine were silicone, iron, chromium, nickel, aluminum, calcium, vanadium, silver, sulfur, barium, platinum and bismuth.
‘Methodological flaws and unsubstantiated assertions’
Melanie Carr is the head of stakeholders and communication for the European Medicines Agency.
In a response to the research, published as a letter in medical journal The BMJ, she said the Italian study contained “methodological flaws and unsubstantiated assertions”.
She added: “The presence of minuscule trace amounts of certain inorganic particles in vaccines is not unexpected and the manufacturing process for all parenteral preparations is designed to ensure that any such traces are kept within safe limits.” Click here to read her letter.
The scientists originally published their work in the International Journal of Vaccines & Vaccination in January 2017. Click here to see that study.
Autism Eye contacted Sanofi, which makes the MMR vaccine, but it did not respond.
