Vaccines can contain aluminium, mercury, formaldehyde, antibiotics, yeast, GMOs, animal proteins and DNA, human foetal protein and DNA, emulsifiers, stabilisers and other substances that are potentially dangerous when injected.
Usually vaccines are injected into muscle, where they form a slow-release reservoir intended to stimulate the production of antibodies for some time. The ingredients are not simply flushed out like they might be if taken in as food, and some ingredients such as aluminium and mercury make their way to the brain and accumulate over time.
The excipients list
Vaccine excipients are the contents of vaccines aside from the antigen/disease material. Most of these excipients are present in vaccines in trace amounts; we need to remember that although manufacturers attempt to purify vaccines, it is impossible to purify biological products completely.
Find here a list of vaccine excipients from the CDC (US gov’t), and see the discussion below about these excipients.
Vaccine Excipient & Media Summary
Animal and food molecules in vaccines
Viruses can only multiply inside living cells, so viruses used in vaccine production are grown in animal cells kept alive in laboratories. These cells are supplied with food known as growth media, and these are often commercial products with confidential contents; generally they would contain a variety of animal, plant and microbial products. Examples of growth media in the excipients list are Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium, Fenton medium and CMRL 1969 medium.
Bacteria for vaccines are grown on animal products, and designer proteins in vaccines can be generated in yeast, bacteria or other living cells. Growth media are also used to make some of these vaccines.
Cells and products from a variety of species are used, including humans (aborted fetuses), monkey (kidney), cow (heart and milk), calf (serum), chicken (embryo and egg), duck (egg), pig (blood), sheep (blood), dog (kidney), horse (blood), rabbit (brain), and guinea pig.
Fragments of DNA and proteins from animals are used deliberately in some vaccines, as adjuvants, and they can also be left behind from the manufacturing process – as mentioned above, it is impossible to completely purify biological products. These fragments have been linked to many disease conditions.
Also, manufacturers are not required to declare the presence of some vaccine ingredients if they are considered safe as food, such as in the case of nut oils, and these have been linked to food allergies.

Aluminium and mercury
Aluminium, in the form of compounds, is added to many vaccines to help stimulate an immune response to the disease pathogens in these vaccines, because the pathogens do not cause enough inflammation on their own to raise antibodies.
The problem is that the aluminium also stimulates an immune response to everything else in the injection site reservoir, including to animal and food proteins in the vaccine, and also to any fragments of the person’s skin, muscle and blood that may have entered from damage by the needle.
Thus there can be an immune response to all of these – this is thought to be a factor in the epidemic of immune system problems, such as asthma, allergies, eczema and autoimmune diseases. Aluminium in vaccines is also thought to be a factor in neurological problems, due to it accumulating in the brain over time.
Mercury is used in vaccines as the preservative ethyl mercury, a water soluble and very toxic form of mercury, which was developed in the 1920s to prevent vaccines from “going off” in the vial. Ethyl mercury is variously called Thimerosal, Merthiolate and Thiomersal.
Ethyl mercury has been been taken out of most vaccines – it is still in multi-dose flu vaccine vials and is found in residual amounts in some others. Mercury in vaccines is thought to be a factor in neurological problems.
The elements aluminium and mercury are both toxic metals. Mercury is known in the chemistry world as a “heavy metal”, while aluminium is not.
A look at a common infant vaccine, Infanrix hexa
In Australia infants routinely receive Infanrix hexa at 2, 4 and 6 months of age. A dose has vaccines for 6 diseases.
On the Product Monograph for Infanrix hexa, in the ‘Contraindications’ section starting page 4 it says the vaccine “should not be administered to subjects with known hypersensitivity to any component of this vaccine”, and mentions hypersensitivity to the antibiotics it contains.
On pages 23 and 24 are the components of the vaccine dose, including 12.6 mg lactose, 0.7 mg aluminum adjuvants (as aluminum salts), 0.12 mg aluminum (AlPO4), residual formaldehyde, neomycin sulphate (an antibiotic), polymyxin B sulphate (an antibiotic) and up to 5% yeast protein.
How would you know if a young baby might be allergic to any of that? Remember these components are being injected into muscle, not swallowed, touched or breathed in.
It is claimed that mercury is no longer included in most vaccines, including Infanrix hexa, but Melbourne researchers found a few years ago this vaccine contained traces of mercury, suggesting other vaccines could also contain traces. See:
