Adjuvant Atrocities
A whole new theory behind the autism-vaccine connection
Here is the freshest and best in the theories behind the autism and vaccines link: it addresses the dangers of adjuvants, chemicals in every vaccine that are designed to inflame and irritate the immune system so that it pays more attention to whatever disease the vaccine is carrying.
