Vaccines and Alpha-Gal Syndrome Risk

It's looking like vaccines are a major risk

factor for alpha-gal syndrome. It's not just ticks.

And we actually think-

Oh, wow

... we actually think, well, here's the reason.

90%, over 90% of children

are ex- are in- directly injected with

alpha-gal bearing gelatin. So

gelatin contains alpha-gal. They receive 54

milligrams, uh, before they enter school from the

vaccination programs, right? So that's a very large

amount. And so s- when they're in- when the whole population gets

injected with alpha-gal, that's the same

mechanism as the tick. The tick directly injects-

Yeah

... alpha-gal into you, and with some other

chemical-stimulating adjuvants.

And so what we think is actually occurring

is the children get vaccinated. Their

antibody profiles kind of shift towards, you know, they start

to make some antibodies against this alpha-gal, but not that

much because the MMR shot doesn't have an adjuvant in

it, and then they get bitten by the tick.

And that boost, it's called prime boost, they're primed with the

vaccine, and then they're boosted with the tick,

just like they u- do,

do some vaccines like that, and that gives people

the... puts them over the clinical threshold,

and they get alpha-gal syndrome
