Why Aluminum in Vaccines Is Safe–and Often Essential

> Vaccines contain tiny amounts of aluminum that are comparable to what infants ingest through breast milk or formula. During the first six months of life, babies receive about four milligrams of aluminum from vaccines, 10 milligrams from breast milk or 40 milligrams from regular formula.

This seems a bit disingenuous. There is a difference between eating something and injecting it into directly into your bloodstream.

I don't believe that it makes aluminum in vaccines dangerous, mind you. But I do believe that disingenuous claims (by officials, scientists, and journalists) are the reason the anti-vax movement has become so strong over the past 5 years.
