Thanks. Haven't even thought about Microglia since college. Fascinating material you provide and much food for thought. Yes, we must stop these people and now.

I thought Aluminum was to be removed from vaccines.

They are trying to replace them with MRNA shots. Moderna has 40+ in trials 😵‍💫

Trials: Close your eyes and count to three .... Ready or not, here they come!

They removed mercury in early 2000s (except for flu shots) after Simpsonwood but replaced with aluminum. The aluminum is an adjuvant that is needed to illicit an immune response.

Nope.

Thanks for another link to a great study, James. I have a question: from the abstract, the paper seems to point to a reduction in microglia being the problem associated with maternal immune activation. If microglia are activated by interleukin 6, and aluminum increases IL-6, wouldn't that lead to an increase, not decrease, in microglia? But maybe the paper answers this question. I will download and read it. My father died of Lewy-Body Dementia, after taking antacids that were primarily aluminum for more than 20 years. So I completely agree, ALL toxic adjuvants should be removed from vaccines (and other exposure.) Thimerosal is apparently still in about 60% of flu vaccines, which is one reason (of many) I never take them.

And now a Concluding word from our friendly public servants:

"CDC and a panel of experts who make vaccine recommendations have Concluded that flu, Tdap, and COVID-19 vaccines are safe for pregnant women and their babies. These experts carefully reviewed the available safety data."

Until Moms wake up and stop offering their children up for sacrifice this will continue. Have been trying since late 90s this generation of moms is dug in even more.

Earth to Lyons-Weiler:

This study says nothing about vaccination. Furthermore, it's a study in mice that looked at a particular cell type _in vitro_, not even in the living mouse.

If you were to draw any logical conclusions about it, there's a suggestion that (in rodents, anyway), maternal immune activation through _infection_ might have a significant suppressive effect on a particular type of immune cell. Which would be a justification for further studies, which might further support vaccination in pregnancy to prevent infectious disease de-activation, which logic tells us would be far greater than anything produced by vaccination (full-blown infection is bound to create a much more striking effect than vaccination, through systemic release of a massive amount of toxins from replicating pathogens).

But since this is one study in mice, it's hard to draw any conclusions at all. Unless you're a committed antivaxer, which means frantically scouring the scientific literature for anything that seems like it might support your biases, whether relevant or not.
