I think that if researchers were 100% confident in Aluminum as a safe adjuvant, they would not be trying to find new adjuvants. And it would be mighty difficult to put this in writing over at the CDC: Aluminum has never been tested by the FDA for safety, but don't anyone worry, keep on getting your vaccines. After all these decades the government is not going to admit to a possibly mistaken assumption. Nor can they discourage vaccines. They are painted into a corner.
I think the polio argument is a distraction from the real point. That point is: Could vaccines be bad in certain vulnerable individuals?
It reminds me of the FDA taking the migraine medication Midrin off of the market. Midrin came on the market I believe in 1962. Well before the FDA approval process was in place. It's not going to be on the market again, unless someone wants to pay for safety trials for a med that is already a generic. It's critical to the FDA that it be proven safe. But the vaccine adjuvant doesn't require safety tests?
That's right, the FDA only requires that vaccines are capable of producing a certain number of antibodies (titers), which is defined as “vaccine efficacy.”
People better educated than I am are thinking about
the possibilities.

Mechanisms of aluminum adjuvant toxicity and autoimmunity in pediatric populations.
[Adjuvant arthritis in rats has been demonstrated, but it seems that mice are not susceptible.]
Adjuvant arthritis can be induced in the rat by the injection of various bacterial cell walls or their components; however, the exact immunogen remains unknown. Recently, an autoantibody response to type II collagen was described not only in the collagen-induced arthritic model but in the adjuvant-induced disease as well. This response suggests that shared antigenic determinants exist between type II collagen and the responsible immunogen in the bacterial cell wall components.
