If this was a serious concern, then we have a bigger problem than a component of this one vaccine. We come into contact with aluminum and its ions and permutations/alloys every day of our lives. Cook in an aluminum pan ever? Take an antacid? Wrap something in foil to save to eat later? Drink a canned soda or beer? Of course 8% of the earths crust is made of aluminum. Use an anti-perspirant? I could go on here ad nauseum, but if there really is a connection, we have to dump some serious amounts of it in our lives� the Guradasil shot is the least of our concerns.

Every scientist that has pointed at the MANY vaccines that contain this form of aluminum as a risk, has be broadly discredited in peer reviewed scientific literature. But there is a HUGE amount of money to be made in the autism/anti vaccine world, and as with most things, just follow the money of the people that are selling books related to pseudo science that does not stand up to peer scientific scrutiny. Look at Australia that has 73% of all their school age girls vaccinated with Gardasil without serous incident. The difference isn't that Australians are different biologically than Americans, it is that they do not have a huge anti vaccine crowd in their midst spreading pseudo science and innuendo.

There are plenty of things in our world that are dangerous. Everyone seems to ignore the simple issue of volume of exposure. Just about anything is toxic in huge amounts, fluoride what we put in our drinking water for instance. It is a serious toxin. But in small parts per million it prevents tooth decay while posing no serious risks to us. The lists of similar things could fill volumes.

Nothing in life is without risks. If people really worry about this vaccine, they should also not drive on the freeways where far more people are going to meet a bad experience or end. We can't go through life living in a bubble. Stay away from hot dogs at the ball park too please...
