Macrophagic myofasciitis (MMF) is defined as “an emerging condition of unknown cause” found in people with muscle and joint pain and fatigue. Various analyses of muscle biopsies revealed lesions, excess granular periodic acid, and evidence of the presence of aluminium hydroxide, which was also confirmed by blood tests.

Further information from the patients taking part convinced the researchers that the source must have been a vaccination:

• Forty-seven of the fifty reported that their pains had begun after a vaccination (ave. onset: 11 months after jab)

• Fifty of the fifty had had one or more of the following jabs: hepatitis A (19%), hepatitis B (86%) tetanus toxoid (58%)

• These three jabs all contain aluminium hydroxide crystals
