When I first heard the “there’s more aluminum in breast milk” line, for a moment, it was almost convincing. But shortly after, like Bryce explains here, I learned that ingested aluminum is not injected aluminum. We’re talking about very different absorption kinetics here. Remember that no amount of formal schooling makes doctors reliably competent when discussing vaccines because it is not a logical debate but a political one. Institutional medicine creates strong incentive gradients toward consensus, through funding structures, CME, hospital credentialing, liability concerns, and professional culture. When continued employment, a promotion, whatever it may be, is contingent on holding a set of beliefs, it’s very easy to say things like, “10 out of 10 doctors agree!” Of course they do—the ones who disagreed have left the building! The next time a pediatrician pressures you into vaccinating your child, calmly ask him this: “If aluminum in breast milk is mostly not absorbed through the gut (less than 1%), but vaccine aluminum is injected and handled differently (with a high potential for systemic absorption), why are the two treated as if they’re the same?” Or, if you really want to make them sweat, here’s the more complete version: “The claim that babies get more aluminum from breast milk than from vaccines is at best incomplete, because it compares total ingested aluminum with injected aluminum as if route of exposure does not matter. Aluminum-containing vaccines commonly contain roughly 0.125–0.85 mg of aluminum per dose, with U.S. biologics regulations allowing up to 0.85 mg per dose when determined by assay. By contrast, breast milk contains aluminum at concentrations reported around 49 µg per liter in older datasets—meaning an infant consuming a liter of breast milk daily would ingest roughly 0.049 mg, before accounting for the fact that less than 1% of that is absorbed through the gut. The more important point is bioavailability: ATSDR reports that gastrointestinal absorption of aluminum is roughly 0.1–0.6%, while injected aluminum bypasses gastrointestinal absorption and enters systemic handling through a different kinetic pathway. So why is the breast-milk comparison still presented to parents without clearly explaining route of exposure, absorption, retention, and timing?” Here are all the childhood vaccines containing aluminum based on the CDC childhood immunization schedule: Birth: Hepatitis B (dose 1) 2 months: DTaP (dose 1) Hib (dose 1) Hepatitis B (dose 2) Pneumococcal (dose 1) 4 months: DTaP (dose 2) Hib (dose 2) Pneumococcal (dose 2) 6 months: DTaP (dose 3) Hib (dose 3, depending on formulation) Hepatitis B (dose 3) Pneumococcal (dose 3) 12–15 months: Hib (final dose) Pneumococcal (dose 4) Hepatitis A (dose 1) 15–18 months: DTaP (dose 4) 16–18 months: Hepatitis A (dose 2) 11–12 years: HPV (Gardasil, 2 doses) Meningococcal B (not universally recommended—listed as "may be given") Tdap booster

@RxOnlyFL @TheOrthoEnsign “Is it not evident that the Father accepts Him”? newadvent.org/fathers/310245…

@TheOrthoEnsign It’s legit. Comes from St. Gregory the Theologian (Gregory of Nazianzus), Oration 45 (the Second Paschal Oration), section 22. newadvent.org

@Tryphonakis We celebrated Divine Liturgy there last week. We celebrate there about once a month. Our main temple is in Tacoma. This past Sunday we had just shy of 300 people. We outgrew the Wilkeson temple about 20 years ago or so, but the church is still maintained and used regularly.

Orthodoxy with American gothic characterics. Why don’t we see more of this?

St. Damascene the Studite, as is known, assisted Patr. Jeremiah in his response to the Tübingen Lutherans. In their response to the 2nd Article of the (Greek version of the) Augsburg Confession, found in his 1st correspondence, we can read the following: ‘Your second article contains the assertion that all mankind is guilty of original sin (πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ἔνοχός ἐστι τῇ προπατορικῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ). We also affirm that this is, indeed, the truth. The psalmist says in the 50th Psalm (Ps. 50:5): “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.” And the Lord says in the Gospels (Jn. 3:5) concerning the purging away of such original sin: “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.” So that [this] clearly [refers to] the purification from this original sin.’ –Patr. Jeremias (Tranos) & St. Damascene the Studite, 1st Response to the Tübingen Lutherans

@Theophilosaurus @maksimologija Here’s the Antiochian catechism I posted. I don’t know anything about the supposed forthcoming catechism scribd.com/document/81691…

This new "Catechism" being produced by the Antiochian Archdiocese is already dead in the water. A "Catechism" composed by people trying to score points in online debates is never going to be fit for purpose.

"the first global celebration of 6/7 day is reaching every expectation."
