So in the report, the authors do point out possible limitations of this study and that's pretty customary in peer-reviewed research including the fact that there may be confounding factors that haven't been accounted for. But the strength of the paper, especially the size and quantities of the data set, gives some pretty strong confidence as to the results. So despite a well-established safety record of aluminum etchments, anti-vaccine activists have got after the ingredients for being extremely neurotoxic, as RFK once called it. And aluminum, it is toxic, I'm not going to be kidding you, it is toxic at a very high amount, but the quantity found in vaccines are far below that threshold and in fact, infants typically ingest more aluminum in their food than they do in some vaccines. And vaccines are in our food and in our water naturally, not even just from human-made sources, but it's in the soil naturally so you can go in some pristine length and take a cup of water out and you're still likely to get some aluminum from that water. And it's also in the air, you're also breathing it in, it's just not there.
