I don't think there's any ONE point.

It's like asking at what point the leaves on a tree turn orange as autumn approaches (Fall for those of you in America). Sure you can specify a point, but does that mean an hour prior to that time the leaves are not orange? Of course not. It's something that comes gradually.
I have particpated in a variety of forums, using a number of user names, over more than a decade and a half. I have avoided participating in any discussion of abortion throughout that time. My position on it is complex, laced with intimately interwoven objective and subjective views, deep concerns for conflicting "rights" and conscious of the strength of views on each side.

I've broken that silence because I think the point you make here could, at least for some, provide a common ground upon which conflict, if not eliminated, could at least be reduced. I ask anyone engaged with this issue to reflect seriously and openly on the significance of your point, regardless of your present views.

I agree, but as humans, we are predisposed to divide nature's continua into categories for intellectual, social, and moral purposes. In the process, we run into the Sorites paradox. At what age are you old? how many hairs can you have and still be bald? When does a fetus become a person?

From what I've seen of Americans, there will be plenty who use only fall and won't even know about autumn.

'Spring forward; autumn back' is a terrible mnemonic for daylight savings time.

Someone in one of the Christian-only segments had this to say
I want nothing to do with the AstraZeneca vaccine. Dead baby in my arm is abhorrent to me.
which brought to mind this poster, apparently from 1802.

Why does vaccinations need to contain so many toxins, poisons, and strange body pieces?
I'd like to think that the poster from 1802 that I posted above was a parody of the antivaccine sentiments of that time, but I fear it was serious. Anyhow, current vaccines don't contain so many toxins or poisons, and no strange body pieces whatsoever.

Caner.gov
Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling chemical that is used in building materials and to produce many household products … In addition, formaldehyde is commonly used as an industrial fungicide, germicide, and disinfectant, and as a preservative in mortuaries and medical laboratories.

Cancer.gov also states that lab studies show that formaldehyde exposure could cause cancer. In 1987, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified formaldehyde as a probable human carcinogen. And that, human studies indicate an association between formaldehyde exposure and certain types of cancer. The CDC assures the public that the small amounts of formaldehyde in vaccines are safe. But, offer no studies to back such a claim. Yet, when the entire childhood vaccine schedule is taken into account, a child will have had almost 1,600 mcg of formaldehyde injected into their body by age six.

The lone research currently available that looks at the effects of formaldehyde when injected is from 1905. The study demonstrated that highly diluted formaldehyde in liquid caused grave health issues in animals.

The conclusion states that, “Pneumonia and bronchitis are found in all animals after the injection of formalin [formaldehyde],” and that:

Animals subjected to chronic poisoning with formalin administered by intraperitoneal injection develop fibrinous peritonitis [inflammation of the abdominal organs], associated with marked eosinophilia [a condition marked by elevated white blood cells, indicating an infection, allergic reaction, or cancer]. The changes in the kidneys and liver consist of cloudy swelling, fatty degeneration, focal necrosis [dead cells in the liver] and leukocyte infiltration [an abundance of infection-fighting white blood cells].

Aluminum
Adjuvants are agents added to pharmaceuticals to modify the effects of other agents. In vaccines, adjuvants boost the immune response in the hopes it results in higher antibodies and longer-lasting protection. And a majority of the vaccines on the childhood schedule and recommended to adults contain the metal, aluminum, as an adjuvant.

According to the CDC, “Small amounts of aluminum are added to help the body build stronger immunity against the germ in the vaccine.” Vaccines containing aluminum include Anthrax, DTaP, Hep A, Hep B, Hib, HPV, Japanese encephalitis, Meningitis B, Pneumococcal, and Tdap.

Mainstream health authorities claim that the levels of aluminum in vaccines are safe. But what the public isn’t made aware of is that this claim is based solely on the assumption that aluminum adjuvants are safe.

When vaccines are put through industry trials for FDA approval, they aren’t tested against an inert placebo. They are tested against non-virus containing vials. These also contain aluminum adjuvants. As a result, the toxic effects of aluminum are never reported and continually ignored.

Safe For Who?
According to the FDA’s guidelines, 850 mcg of aluminum is what is deemed “safe” for an adult. However, the amounts of aluminum a tiny infant receives drastically surpasses the safety levels. Following the current vaccination schedule, an infant gets 1,225 mcg of aluminum by two months of age and 4,925 mcg by 18 months. Furthermore, a safe level of aluminum has never been established for infants and children.

Meanwhile, the devastating neurological and immunological impact of injected aluminum continues to be suppressed. Medical research journalist, Neil Z. Miller, compiled decades of research on the adverse health effects of aluminum and reported, “Parents, especially, should not be compelled to permit their loved ones to receive multiple injections of toxic heavy metals that could increase their risk of neurodevelopmental and autoimmune ailments.”

Christopher Exley, leading aluminum toxicity expert and scientist, and colleagues studied the presence of aluminum in brain tissue and its role in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). He concluded:

We have made the first measurements of aluminum in brain tissue in ASD and we have shown that the brain aluminum content is extraordinarily high … The presence of aluminum in inflammatory cells in the meninges, vasculature, grey and white matter is a standout observation and could implicate aluminum in the etiology of ASD.

The authorities want it to disappear. But, the link between aluminum and neurological disorders will not go away.

Another silenced subject concerning vaccines is the enzyme nagalase.

Nagalase is a protein excreted by cancer cells and viruses in the body. It prevents the naturally-occurring immune booster, Globulin component Macrophage Activating Factor (GcMAF), from being produced. High levels of nagalase have been found in patients with cancer, autism, diabetes, immune disorders, and viral and bacterial infections.

According to biotech company Firstimmune, a company that processes nagalase blood tests:

Increased activity of nagalase has been detected in the blood of patients with a wide variety of cancers, like cancer of the prostate, breast, colon, lung, oesophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, kidney, bladder, testis, uterus and ovary, mesothelioma, melanoma, fibrosarcoma, glioblastoma, neuroblastoma, and various leukemias … Increased nagalase activity has not been detected in the blood of healthy humans.

Dr. Jeff Bradstreet was one of many doctors investigating the role that viruses play in making nagalase. Dr. Bradstreet states in a paper no longer available on his site, “Viruses make the nagalase enzyme as part of their attachment proteins. It serves to get the virus into the cell and also decreases the body’s immune reaction to the virus-thereby increasing the odds of viral survival.”

Nagalase In Vaccines
It’s not currently known whether or not nagalase is a contaminant in vaccines. Dr. Bradstreet was investigating whether its elevated concentration in children with autism and cancer is due to the antigenic viral envelope proteins used in vaccine production.

Dr. Bradstreet was treating his patients with autism with GcMAF. And, was conducting clinical experiments to be published in medical journals. Tragically, Dr. Bradstreet was found bobbing in a river with a bullet wound to his chest. It was reported as a suicide. But, many doubt this after FDA agents and law enforcement raided his offices.

Three days earlier, he had received a warrant for all of his research about his use of GcMAF with his patients.

The role of nagalase in ASD and the use of GcMAF for cancer treatment and ASD continues to be studied by researchers.

Complete Human Genome DNA
“Vaccines must be grown in a ‘substrate’ which simply means that it takes living tissue to grow the microscopic vaccine ingredients. So where do they get the living tissue,” writes Ty Bolinger in his epic book Monumental Myths of the Modern Medical Mafia and Mainstream Media.

In recent years it has come to light that vaccines are made using aborted fetal tissue. The claim means that vaccines merely contain viruses that were grown on cells from aborted babies. However, Italian researchers have recently proven that this is an outright lie.

Scientists from an organization called Corvelva tested the Measles-Mumps-Rubella-Varicella (MMRV) vaccine, Priorix Tetra manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, and results showed that the vaccine contained an entire human genome with the chromosomes of a male. And a bit of chicken DNA too, for good measure.

Even more alarming is that the genome is not one of a typical, healthy human being. They discovered several unknown variants. Some were located in the genes that are involved with cancer.

They state in their report:

What is also apparently anomalous, is the excess of the genome that shows changes in the number of copies … and structural variants … many of which involve genes. The potential contribution of the numerous variants (not present in the scientific literature and in public databases) to the phenotype of the cells used for the growth of vaccine viruses is not known.”

Shouldn’t We Be More Concerned?
Even before the Corvelva report, the correlation between the introduction of fetal cell lines in vaccines and the spike in autism rates has been a concern for too few scientists. A former senior scientist at a pharmaceutical firm, Helen Ratajczak, has publicly expressed concerns over the spike in autism following the introduction of human DNA to the MMR vaccine and the chickenpox vaccine.

Contrary to the “fetal cells are only used to grow viruses” soundbite, vaccines were discovered to contain unacceptably high levels of fetal DNA fragment contaminants. Dr. Teresa Deisher, a stem cell researcher, published a study in 2015 about the relationship between DNA in vaccines and autism that concludes:

The human genome naturally contains regions that are susceptible to double-strand break formation and DNA insertional mutagenesis. The ‘Wakefield Scare’ created a natural experiment that may demonstrate a causal relationship between fetal cell-line manufactured vaccines and ASD prevalence.

And, perhaps, the most alarming revelation of Dr. Deisher’s research has been that human DNA can integrate into the genome of a vaccinated person. In a study conducted at the Sound Choice Pharmaceuticals Institute, she discovered and concludes:

Not only damaged human cells, but also healthy human cells can take up foreign DNA spontaneously … Hence, residual human fetal DNA fragments in vaccine can be one of the causes of autism spectrum disorder in children through vaccination.

These dire concerns about the integration of human DNA are a long cry from the dismissive explanation that aborted fetal cells are only used to grow viruses for vaccines.

Mercury
When it comes to mercury in vaccines, the public is routinely fed contradictory and confusing messages.

One being that mercury hasn’t been used in vaccines since 1999. The other is that it’s still used but only in multi-dose flu vaccines. And, that the public may “request” a mercury-free shot. And, finally, that the mercury that is present in vaccines, thimerosal, is safe.

So, has mercury been eliminated from vaccines or not? Is it safe or not? Well, it turns out that every one of these “facts” is fiction.

Thimerosal is a mercury-based preservative that’s been used for decades in vaccines. The CDC claims low doses of thimerosal are harmless.

And while it is true that in July 1999 the Public Health Service agencies, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines — the flu and DTaP vaccines, routinely given to pregnant women and infants, still contain thimerosal.

The claim is that there are two different types of mercury: methylmercury and ethylmercury. Thimerosal contains ethylmercury. And since ethylmercury appears to be cleared from the human body more quickly than methylmercury when it is ingested, it is assumed to be safe.

However, even the Eli Lilly and Company 1999 Material Safety Data Sheet for Thimerosal warns:

Primary Physical and Health Hazards: Skin Permeable. Toxic Mutagen (causes genetic mutation). Eye Irritant. Allergen. Nervous system and reproductive effects.

Caution Statement: Thimerosal may enter the body through the skin, is toxic, alters genetic material. Effects of exposure may include numbness of extremities fetal changes, decreased offspring survival, and lung tissue changes.

Exposure to mercury in utero may cause mild to severe mental retardation and mild to severe motor coordination impairment.

Mercury Levels Increasing
Disturbingly, since the agreed-upon elimination of thimerosal in vaccines, the amount of mercury exposure has drastically increased. That is, if a child receives all recommended thimerosal-containing vaccines, from in utero to eighteen years of age. In other words, the total amount of mercury that has been added to the latest childhood vaccine schedule, far outweighs the amount of mercury subtracted when they “removed” it from production.

And it isn’t only seasonal flu shots that contain mercury. According to the Institute for Vaccine Safety, all DTwP vaccines (Diphtheria, Tetanus & whole-cell Pertussis), DT (Diphtheria & Tetanus) multi-dose vials, all Tetanus Toxoid vaccines, and the Meningococcal multi-dose vials also contain mercury. Also, Dtap vaccines with 25 micrograms of mercury per 0.5-mL are still being recommended and administered to pregnant women.

And what about the claim that thimerosal is the safe kind of mercury? The harm produced by thimerosal-containing vaccines has been repeatedly demonstrated. Published scientific research shows that:

And yet with all the continued claims that thimerosal is safe, a valid placebo safety study on mercury in vaccines has yet to be conducted.

True Safety Against Harmful Vaccine Ingredients
Just because authorities claim a product is safe doesn’t make it so. Doctors are not educated on any side effects linked to vaccines. The education ends at administration.

Empirical evidence is started to emerge (watch Vaxxed 2) that unvaccinated kids are far healthier. But of course, you won’t hear about this in the mainstream press.

As HoneyColony Founder reports, with 240 vaccines currently in the pipeline for development and critical information being censored, public trust in vaccines is at an all-time low. Until that safety is proven without a doubt with placebo studies comparing the vaccinated to the unvaccinated, the public will continue to forgo vaccinations.

... lab studies show that formaldehyde exposure could cause cancer. In 1987, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified formaldehyde as a probable human carcinogen. And that, human studies indicate an association between formaldehyde exposure and certain types of cancer. The CDC assures the public that the small amounts of formaldehyde in vaccines are safe. But, offer no studies to back such a claim. Yet, when the entire childhood vaccine schedule is taken into account, a child will have had almost 1,600 mcg of formaldehyde injected into their body by age six.
Assuming that figure is correct, they will have had way more than that - you should know that formaldehyde is produced by the metabolism of a healthy person in larger quantities than present in the vaccines that contain it:

"Formaldehyde and its adducts are ubiquitous in living organisms. It is formed in the metabolism of endogenous amino acids[which?] and is found in the bloodstream of humans and other primates at concentrations of approximately 0.1 millimolar.[20] Experiments in which animals are exposed to an atmosphere containing isotopically labeled formaldehyde have demonstrated that even in deliberately exposed animals, the majority of formaldehyde-DNA adducts found in non-respiratory tissues are derived from endogenously produced formaldehyde.[21]

Formaldehyde does not accumulate in the environment, because it is broken down within a few hours by sunlight or by bacteria present in soil or water. Humans metabolize formaldehyde quickly, converting it to formic acid, so it does not accumulate in the body.[22]"
Wikipedia (my bolding)

From the FDA:
"The amount of formaldehyde present in some vaccines is so small compared to the concentration that occurs naturally in the body that it does not pose a safety concern. "
FDA: Common Ingredients in Vaccines
It really isn't difficult to check these claims. Consider - if the claims made were accurate or significant, there would be a clear statistical correlation between cancers and vaccinations containing formaldehyde in a population; IOW we would know by now. You'd think this data would be jumped on by anti-vaxxers and published with fanfares - yet I've seen no evidence of such correlations being presented... have you?

Why do you think that is, a world-wide conspiracy to fake vaccination and/or cancer data?

BTW, the same argument applies to all the other 'nasties in vaccines' claims.

GcMAF has been surrounded by such a wide array of fraud and hucksters that I'm not quite certain that it actually exists - and it probably doesn't exist in most of the various snake oil products peddled over the years. For an entertaining account of various frauds you can read a site called Riddled (Warning: his idea of website design is not for the faint of heart)Riddled: Search results for GCMAF

It's use in antivaxx literature is mostly gibberish. I had to laugh a bit seeing it here - I thought it was yesteryear's fraud.
