evidence: In the mid-1960s, peanut oils were first introduced into vaccines because scientists hypothesized they would "prolong" immunity. It was originally used as an adjuvant (a substance that enhances the body’s immune response to an antigen). It is a complete myth that the greater the allergic response to the vaccine, the greater the immunity is conferred. The dangers of its use are well-documented, but anyone who tests this myth is referred to as anti-science, anti-vaccine and a conspiracy theorist. There is no faster way for a doctor to lose their license to practice medicine than to challenge this commandment of vaccine mythology. If they started putting peanut oil in vaccines in the 1960s, then why did the peanut allergies experience a massive upsurge in number more recently? It all started when the mandated schedule of the number and frequency of vaccines for children under age 7 doubled, and then tripled. In 1980 children received on average 20 vaccines, in 1995 it was increased to around 40 vaccines, and by 2016 we are now at approximately 70 vaccines. [...] Wells, S. D.
