18 assertions about vaccines: #7 Peanut Oil in Vaccines Causes Peanut Allergy

Point #7

The following are NOT opinions, but actual verifiable facts. Research any of it if you have doubts or just want to expand your knowledge.

7) Peanut allergies were almost unheard of prior to the use of peanut oil in vaccines. Since the introduction of vaccines containing peanut oil, the number of people being diagnosed with a peanut allergy has risen exponentially. In addition, vaccinated children have much higher rates of allergies (of any kind) than those who are not.

Again, nested claims.

1. Peanut oil is used in vaccines
2. Peanut allergies were unknown in the pre-vaccine era
3. Peanut oil in vaccines cause peanut allergy
4. Vaccinated children have higher rates of all allergies than unvaccinated children

None of these claims are based in fact.

1. The vaccine ingredient and incipient list does not have any mention of peanut oil or products. There has never been peanut oil in vaccines.  Experts know there never has been peanut oil in vaccines. 
2. Dating the "pre-vaccine" era to (when universal pediatric vaccine uptake was a drive) to  the 1950s. The earliest reference I found to the phrase "food allergy" is 1939.
3. The claim that "peanut oil in vaccines cause peanut allergy" is counter-factual. It's possible that use of peanut-oil-containing skin lotions could however increase the risk of peanut allergy.
4. Actual research evaluating the risk of allergy in vaccinated and unvaccinated children (a selection from hundreds of articles:
   1. Current vaccination practices do not have an adverse effect on the incidence of allergic disease
   2. Do Vaccines Cause Allergic or Autoimmune Diseases? No.
   3. Childhood vaccinations and risk of asthma.
