Some vaccines (including DTaP of all brands) contain glutaraldehyde. The United States Department of Labor classifies glutaraldehyde as “a toxic chemical that is used as a cold sterilant to disinfect and clean heat-sensitive medical, surgical and dental equipment.” It lists irritation of the nose, throat, and respiratory tract, coughing, wheezing, nausea, headaches, drowsiness, nosebleeds, and dizziness as short term (acute) effects due to glutaraldehyde exposure in adults. The agency also lists a number of long-term (chronic) side effects of glutaraldehyde: “Glutaraldehyde is a sensitizer. This means some workers will become very sensitive to glutaraldehyde and have strong reactions if they are exposed to even small amounts. Workers may get sudden asthma attacks with difficult breathing, wheezing, coughing, and tightness in the chest. Prolonged exposure can cause a skin allergy and chronic eczema, and afterwards, exposure to small amounts produces severe itching and skin rashes. It has been implicated as a possible cause of occupational asthma.” The fact that infants and children are being continuously re-injected with glutaraldehyde-containing vaccines—thus, continuously re-exposed to glutaraldehyde—gives us a reason to suspect that they could also develop sensitivity to the chemical and have a strong reaction if they are exposed to even small amounts of it. I can't help but wonder, whether glutaraldehyde in vaccines is responsible for explosion of pediatric asthma and eczema in the resent years.
