The study included more than 1.2 million people in Denmark who got childhood vaccines.

Aluminum in childhood vaccines is a target of vaccine skeptics, who blame the ingredient on myriad health concerns. But a study of more than 1 million people, published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, found no link between aluminum in vaccines and an increased risk of 50 chronic conditions, including autoimmune diseases, allergies and autism.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has spread vaccine misinformation for years, said on a podcast in 2024 that aluminum in vaccines is “extremely neurotoxic.” (An HHS spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.)

HHS say: well, run the study again, but this time make sure you find a link!

Sounds like the study was conducted by someone with aluminum salts in their brain /s

The researchers found no link between aluminum in childhood vaccines and any of the 50 conditions.

That's a lot of conditions. I would expect at least one to correlate just by pure chance.
