Childhood Vaccine Schedule
Mandated from the first hour of life, the schedule delivers mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, ether, and detergent into newborns against diseases they cannot contract, generating pharmaceutical dependency across a lifetime while producing neurological damage that accumulates invisibly with every additional injection.
Aajonus Vonderplanitz regarded the childhood vaccine schedule as one of the most consequential and deliberately harmful systems imposed on human beings in the industrial era. From his perspective, the schedule did not represent a medical safeguard but a pharmaceutical revenue mechanism that systematically poisoned children from the first hours of life onward. He spoke about this not as an abstract policy concern but as something he understood from multiple angles: as a patient who was personally damaged by vaccines as an infant and child, as someone who had worked in the vaccine field for more than a decade, and as a practitioner who observed vaccine-injured children recover on raw food protocols. His opposition was total and without qualification. He found no beneficial ingredient in any vaccine, no scientific basis for the immunity claim, and no ethical justification for mandating the schedule on children whose parents had not been given accurate information about what was being injected.
He described the schedule itself as having expanded dramatically over the decades, from a relatively sparse set of injections in mid-century America to a program that, by the time he was speaking, required children to receive 49 to 68 vaccines by age 16, with some states mandating as many as 90 vaccines by that age. He noted that children are now injected beginning within the first hour of birth, with the hepatitis B vaccine typically administered on the day of delivery. He considered this opening vaccination particularly indefensible because hepatitis B is a disease transmitted through sexual contact and shared needles, making the claim that newborns require it a medical absurdity in his view. He said directly: "The day they're born, they're given hepatitis B vaccine. Frightful. This is not a sane community."
His personal history gave his position a grounded specificity. He received tetanus shots beginning at six months of age, at one year, and again at eighteen months, the last of which he said caused autism by damaging his capacity to process communication. He later received polio vaccines beginning at age eleven, the second of which produced peritonitis, which was misdiagnosed as appendicitis. By age fifteen he had developed diabetes. He traced each of these conditions directly to specific vaccines in his own schedule and used his own case as an illustration of how vaccine damage accumulates across childhood without ever being attributed to the injections that caused it.
What Is in Every Vaccine
Aajonus identified five core toxic ingredients that he stated are present in every vaccine without exception: liquid mercury, liquid aluminum, formaldehyde, ether, and detergent. He described these individually and collectively as serious, well-documented poisons with no nutritional or biological benefit whatsoever.
Liquid mercury, referred to in pharmaceutical labeling as thimerosal, was described as a neurotoxin that accumulates in the brain and nervous system. He was direct about the claim that mercury had been removed from vaccines: he stated this was a marketing deception. Testing by Dawn Winkler, President of California Vaccine Awareness, showed that vaccines still contained mercury after the supposed removal. He explained that the FDA had allowed manufacturers to reduce the mercury content from 76 quadrillion molecules per injection to 56 quadrillion molecules per injection and then label the product mercury-free. He found this labeling fraudulent. He also gave a specific toxicity figure: one vaccine delivers 260 times the mercury dose that the FDA itself defines as a toxic exposure level. In other versions of this statement he gave the figure as 1,236 times the toxic dose from a single vaccine.
Liquid aluminum was described as working in combination with mercury, concentrating in neurological tissue. Aajonus explained from his own case that the autism he developed as an infant was caused by having both mercury and aluminum stored in his communication center in the brain.
Formaldehyde, which he identified as embalming fluid, was described as coating cells so that they can no longer function, no longer respirate, and become solidified in a non-living form. He said that injecting a substance whose primary action is to prevent cellular respiration into a living child is not a medical treatment but a method of cellular destruction.
Ether is the same substance used to induce unconsciousness for surgery. He noted that its mechanism is to cause parts of the brain to shut down, and that injecting this into a child's body rather than administering it as a gas produces a form of internal neurological suppression.
Detergent was described as a class of chemical solvents with no place in biological tissue.
Beyond these five core ingredients, he stated that each vaccine contains between 23 and 63 additional toxic substances, the exact number varying depending on the specific vaccine. He used the range of 26 to 63 in various talks. He emphasized that every one of these additional ingredients is toxic on its own, and that when combined into a single injection the resulting chemical soup produces interaction effects that no study has characterized or predicted. He noted that the industry labels these additional ingredients "inert," but his position was that the word is meaningless as applied to known poisons: "If they're inert, what the hell are they doing in there?"
He also described the disease component of vaccines, the actual viral or bacterial material intended to produce immunity, as existing in quantities so small as to be scientifically incoherent as an immunizing agent. He said that 100,000 to 200,000 dissolved animal cells fit onto a pinhead, and that five white blood cells could eliminate that material in an instant. He described the disease material as being derived from rotten eggs or diseased animal organs and tissues, dissolved in hexane (gasoline) or kerosene, and cultured in treated eggs that had been slightly heated to destroy defensive bacteria. He found the entire production method to be an industrialized form of biological contamination rather than medicine.
Hepatitis B Vaccine at Birth
The hepatitis B vaccine administered within hours of birth was one of the specific schedule elements Aajonus returned to repeatedly, because it illustrated for him the degree of irrationality embedded in the official schedule. He pointed out that hepatitis B is transmitted through sexual contact and shared intravenous needles, not through the biological processes of birth or early childhood in any normal circumstances. He said that medical authorities attempt to cover this obvious contradiction by citing a figure of approximately 20,000 children in the United States who contract hepatitis B each year from "unknown causes," and that this vague category is used to justify universal newborn vaccination. He stated that he disputed both the 20,000 figure and the studies purporting to support it.
His position was that injecting a newborn in the first hour of life with a solution containing liquid mercury, liquid aluminum, formaldehyde, ether, detergent, and 39 to 58 additional toxic ingredients, against a disease the child has essentially no mechanism to contract, represents intentional harm rather than medical protection.
The Autism Connection
Aajonus spoke extensively about the relationship between the childhood vaccine schedule and autism, drawing on his own experience as the primary case he knew most intimately, and on the broader pattern he observed in children he worked with and in the testimony of mothers he regarded as reliable reporters.
He described autism as a neurological condition produced by the accumulation of vaccine toxins, particularly mercury and aluminum, in the communication centers of the brain. In his own case, the tetanus shot at eighteen months of age produced what he described as a complete severance of the capacity to form letters into words and words into concepts. He said it was "like being blind, impossible to see, impossible for me to communicate." He did not begin to communicate consistently with other children until his early to mid-teens, spending the intervening years absorbing sounds and phrases as raw audio patterns rather than as meaningful language. He noted that his vocabulary in those years consisted largely of what he heard repeated in his household, including phrases like "shut up, sit down, you're an idiot, you're stupid," which he then repeated at school without understanding their social meaning, resulting in ongoing physical confrontations.
He described this as a direct and verifiable consequence of a specific injection at a specific age, not a developmental coincidence. He said that the medical establishment had acknowledged a link between the MMR vaccine and autism, specifically pointing to the measles component, but he regarded this partial acknowledgment as insufficient because it framed the problem as a manufacturing or formulation error rather than a fundamental indictment of the schedule and its ingredients. He referenced the work of Andrew Wakefield, the British physician who documented the MMR-autism connection, and noted that the response of medical authorities to Wakefield's findings illustrated the institutional mechanisms used to suppress unfavorable vaccine research.
He also referenced the groups of mothers in the United States who were testifying publicly about vaccine-induced autism in their children. He regarded their testimony as more empirically reliable than the official studies, because the mothers observed their children before and after vaccination with no financial stake in the outcome. He said the researchers and doctors who turned their backs on these mothers were creating an evidentiary gap that the mothers themselves were trying to fill.
The Damage Accumulation Logic
A central argument Aajonus made about the childhood vaccine schedule was that its toxicity compounds with every additional injection. He stated clearly that vaccines are not safe individually, and therefore the assumption made by medical authorities that giving many vaccines in a short time is safe because each one is individually safe is logically false. He said: "The potential damage increases when you give many of them in a short time period." He identified no safe threshold or safe combination.
He used the mercury accumulation problem as a specific illustration. Because it takes 50 to 200 fat molecules to harness a single molecule of mercury and move it safely out of the body, the burden imposed by each additional vaccine compounds in a way that the body cannot manage without substantial dietary intervention. He said that to clear the mercury from a single vaccine, a person would need to eat a cup of cream and a stick of butter daily for ten years. Children receiving 49 to 68 vaccines by age 16, or as many as 90 vaccines in some states, accumulate a mercury burden that he described as effectively permanent without deliberate and sustained dietary protocol.
He also described other pathways by which vaccine toxins distribute through the body after injection. Most of the poisons, he said, go to the stomach lining. Others become sequestered in sealed pockets in the body. Those that are liquid enough to migrate neurologically cause neurological destruction, as happened in his own case with mercury and aluminum reaching his brain. In his case the polio vaccine toxicity also reached his heart, causing heart spasms for seven years.
The Immunity Claim
Aajonus rejected the scientific basis of the immunity claim entirely and from multiple angles. He argued that viruses, as described by virology, change completely within a person approximately every 72 hours. Since it takes at minimum 12 to 18 months to manufacture, market, promote, and distribute any given vaccine, the disease component of the vaccine is already obsolete 18 months before the product reaches patients. He said: "If it's no good in three days, 18 months later? The whole concept is absurd. It is a money marketing."
He also disputed the mechanism by which a vaccine is supposed to confer immunity. The official claim is that a small quantity of disease material stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies, which then protect against future infection. Aajonus described the immune system not as a sub-system of antibody production but as the entire body and mind functioning together. He said: "It's all immune system, you might say. That is why you can have, in the middle of an epidemic, those individuals who remain healthy." General health, in his framework, is the determining factor, not the presence of specific antibodies produced in response to a vaccine. He said that 200,000 dissolved animal cells fitting onto a pinhead could not create meaningful immunity because five white blood cells could eliminate that material instantly.
He also rejected the interspecies argument: he said that swine flu, for example, is a disease of toxic pigs, and a human being is not a pig, toxic or otherwise, and therefore cannot contract swine flu in the mechanistic sense implied by vaccine theory. Similarly for bird flu. He considered these whole disease categories to be constructed around a false premise of cross-species viral transmission.
The Historical Disease Narrative
One of Aajonus's consistent arguments was that vaccines are credited for eliminating diseases that had already declined or disappeared before the vaccines were introduced. He stated this as a general principle and gave polio as a specific example. When the polio vaccine was released in 1958, he said, the disease had already declined to approximately 1% of its previous incidence. He said three states in one county documented this trajectory clearly, but the pharmaceutical industry took credit for the decline as if the vaccine had caused it. He generalized from this that vaccines are typically released only after the relevant disease has already gone dormant, and that the medical industry then claims credit for an outcome it did not produce.
He said: "Always, the diseases for which vaccines are marketed have gone dormant prior to release of the vaccines. The disease is over and gone except for a few minor cases. Because there is no major epidemic reported by the medical industry of that disease, the medical industry takes credit for eliminating the disease. However, it was already gone."
He extended this argument to the financial logic: pharmaceutical companies and the CDC then maintain that the disease will return if vaccination rates fall, even though there is no scientific proof that the diseases will return or that any vaccine is effective. He described media and academia as repeating this claim without independent verification.
The Business Logic Of Scheduling
Aajonus described the expansion of the childhood vaccine schedule as driven by pharmaceutical revenue, not by epidemiological need. He stated that the vaccine industry generates what he described as trillions of dollars per year worldwide, with thirteen trillion dollars annually from vaccines alone. He framed the schedule's expansion as a product of this financial incentive: the more vaccines that can be mandated and the earlier they can be administered, the greater the revenue stream.
He also described a deeper business logic in which making children sick through vaccines creates a lifetime of pharmaceutical dependency. He said: "If you're programmed that way as a child, anytime you have a cold, a flu, a sniffle, you're going to run to a doctor as you get into adulthood. So it's planned. It is definitely planned by the pharmaceutical industry." He argued that 99% of the body's functions are bacterially stimulated, and that every injection of a poison or antibiotic reduces function and makes the recipient sicker, which then generates further medical visits and pharmaceutical sales.
He described the legal architecture surrounding parenting and medicine as part of this system. He said that if a parent does not take a child to a doctor when the child experiences severe vomiting or diarrhea lasting more than 24 hours, that parent can be convicted of negligence. Since vaccines routinely produce severe vomiting and diarrhea, this legal framework effectively mandates a doctor visit after every vaccine, which generates further pharmaceutical contact and often further prescriptions.
He noted that as a former pharmaceutical representative he was personally involved in setting the rules about when vaccinations were to be given and communicating those schedules to doctors, who accepted them without question. He said the intentions of individual doctors are not necessarily bad, but that once they reach a certain financial level within the system, the financial incentive overrides clinical judgment.
Mandatory Vaccination and Legal Exemptions
Aajonus addressed the mandatory nature of the childhood vaccine schedule at length, both in terms of the legal landscape and the practical strategies he recommended for parents seeking to refuse vaccination for their children.
He stated that in the United States there are 18 states where failure to vaccinate children is a criminal matter, and that in those states parents can face jail. His direct advice for those states was unambiguous: move out of them. He said: "Do not subject your children for convenience to poisons like that."
For states with exemption provisions, he identified religious and philosophical exemptions as the primary legal pathways. He noted that every state has at least one of these exemptions available. He acknowledged that using the religious exemption can require navigating legal fees and challenges, as documented in cases he knew of where parents had to retain attorneys to get unvaccinated children enrolled in school. He also referenced Sherry Tenpenny, an MD he described as an expert on vaccine exemption law, who had written a book documenting state-by-state exemption procedures and identifying the 12 or 13 states where no legal out exists.
His broader strategic advice included invoking the Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments, the Geneva Convention prohibition on chemical testing of human beings without informed consent and assumption of responsibility by the injecting party, and his own document: a six-page acceptance of responsibility form.
The Acceptance of Responsibility Document
The document Aajonus created and distributed through his website wewanttolive.com (with "to" written as the numeral 2) was a central practical tool he recommended to parents facing vaccine mandates. He described it as a six-page form that lists all the ingredients in each vaccine, specifies what each ingredient is known to do to the body, and requires the person ordering the vaccination to personally sign an agreement accepting financial liability of one million dollars per vaccine for any harm that results.
He described the document's function in multiple scenarios. For school vaccine mandates, a parent presents the form to the school or doctor and says: "You're going to tell me that these are safe to put in my children? You have to sign this release." He stated that in every case he knew of, no one had signed it, and the children were exempted. He said the form works even in states where there is nominally no legal exemption clause, because no individual official or doctor is willing to accept personal liability.
He described the same document being effective at international border crossings where yellow fever or other travel vaccines are required. He advised presenting the form, citing the Geneva Convention, and demanding that the official both prove the vaccine's efficacy and sign the liability agreement. He said that in most cases the worst outcome is being held for six to twenty-four hours before being allowed to continue travel, and that occasionally a second airline ticket must be purchased, but that in no case had anyone been forced to take the vaccine after presenting the document.
The form also functions, in his description, as an educational tool. By the time the official or doctor reads through the complete list of toxic ingredients and their documented effects, they have received information they typically did not previously have, and the act of signing a statement of personal liability for a million dollars per injection concentrates their attention on that information in a way that general discussion does not.
What Vaccinated Children Actually Show
Aajonus challenged the common observation that many vaccinated children appear to be healthy. He said the operative word is "appear" and listed specific conditions he attributed at least partly to vaccine damage that would not register as obvious illness in a casual assessment: inability to focus on studies, behavioral tantrums, incomplete development of mental faculties, and combativeness. He observed that his own mother was one of thirteen children raised in a pre-heavy-vaccine era and described the contrast in behavioral and neurological baseline between that generation and the generations that received increasingly dense vaccine schedules.
He also described the long-term neurological suppression produced by mercury and aluminum specifically, stating that the toxins in vaccines "dumb-down rational thinking, often making individuals simple-minded for years, decades or even life." He described this as potentially intentional at a population-management level, though he framed this primarily as a consequence of the pharmaceutical business model rather than a singular conspiracy.
He did not suggest that any particular vaccinated child was necessarily visibly damaged. His argument was that the damage is cumulative, often subtle in its early expression, and fully apparent only when compared across populations over time, and that the studies that would reveal this comparison have never been conducted because the assumption that vaccines are safe has prevented researchers and regulatory bodies from looking.
Dietary Protocol for Vaccine Damage
For children or adults who had already received vaccines and could not undo that exposure, Aajonus gave specific dietary guidance for managing the toxic load. His general protocol for vaccine-induced toxicity included large quantities of cheese, butter, butter and honey mixture, cilantro leaves and juice, eggs, meats, milk, and berries with coconut cream.
For mercury specifically, the binding requirement of 50 to 200 fat molecules per mercury molecule meant that sustained high fat intake was essential: he described a cup of cream daily and a stick of butter daily as the minimum for managing mercury clearance, with this sustained for approximately ten years per vaccine's worth of mercury. He recommended clay baths as an additional detoxification pathway.
For vaccine exposure involving nerve damage or neurological symptoms, he specified a protocol using apple cider vinegar combined with coconut cream and dairy cream to protect the nerves: three tablespoons of vinegar, three tablespoons of coconut cream, and two tablespoons of dairy cream, three times a day. For military personnel who had received multiple vaccines, he increased this to two tablespoons three times daily for approximately nine days, combined with three tablespoons of cheese with two teaspoons of honey four to five times daily to prevent demineralization.
He also described the case of a child ward of the state who had suffered severe neurological damage from vaccines, so severe that neurologists had never seen a child survive to that point. After being placed on a raw food diet including raw meat and raw dairy, the child began to recover within approximately six weeks, showing reactions to the vaccines within two days of administration that had progressively worsened. The neurologists who observed the recovery wrote a letter to the state government asking it to back off interference with the child's raw food diet, describing the child's progress as unprecedented.
The Unvaccinated Child
Aajonus directly addressed the comparative health status of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children. He described a hypothetical scenario: a child in Boston raised on nutritious food, exercised daily, loved by parents, and not given the measles vaccine, compared with an average child in the same city who eats poorly, watches five hours of television daily, and receives the measles vaccine. He said he would bet on the first child's health status every time. If the first child contracted measles at age nine, he expected the illness to be substantially lighter than any measles the second child might experience, because general health rather than vaccine-induced antibodies determines how the body handles disease exposure.
His broader principle was that general nutritional status, emotional environment, and physical activity produce genuine resilience, while the vaccine schedule systematically undermines all three by introducing toxins that degrade neurological function, gut bacteria (he stated 99% of all bodily functions are bacterially stimulated), and immune capacity in the full sense he understood immunity: the whole body and mind functioning together.
He stated that if he had a child, the last thing he would allow is vaccination, and that he would move out of state, change the family name, and disappear with his family before allowing it.
