    Heat and oxygen; same as burning the paint off.

    I think stainless steel pressure pots are less common. Living at 2000 meters, I Al-pressure lots of foods but not acidic ones.

    No discussion of possible aluminum health risks would be complete w/o Alzheimers:

    TL;DR Some studies have found links between aluminum exposure, and others have not. Lifetime exposure to elevated levels of aluminum is sensibly to be limited where possible. I reckon that people involved in refining and recycling industries are the most exposed. Some countries have limits on [Al] in water and food, but I have not looked for lists.

    ==
    This element is 3rd most abundant in Earth’s crust after oxygen and silicon. There are many exposure pathways. I reckon that vaccine adjuvants dominate lifetime aluminum exposure for approximately no one.

    The inner pots of Instant Pots are stainless steel.

    mRNA vaccines are the new things, only widely used against COVID so far. Nobel Prize in Physiology 2023, and fatalities prevented by COVID vaccines (in general) could be explored from other sources.

    But mRNA vaccines are the new things and have met opposition. Global patterns of vax against COVID would illuminate this in ways not yet considered.

    Fractions of COVID vaccinations with mRNA

    USA ~100%
    Europe ~50% (no definitive source found)
    Africa ~50% (no definitive source found)
    India ~50% (no definitive source found)
    China ~0%

    To count problems happening after vax (coincidental or not), USA has VAERS and Euro has

    https://www.adrreports.eu/

    I looked at the former and found no there there. I have not looked at the latter.

    Other large pop areas with low to no use of mRNA COVID vax may have there own sites detailing adverse reactions occurring after vaccinations. But I have not looked.

    The thing is, large pops were vaxed against COVID by mRNA or other ways. It seems to me an incompletely studied thing that mRNA vax could be found to cause particular problems. Further studies of that ought to be done.

    --
    Old diseases persist, and new diseases arrive. mRNA vax tech now has fast target delineation and fast workflows in development and production. If any important risks of mRNA vax can be shown, those opposed ought to get their s*** together and make use of data available and make their case. Preferably by rational scientific discourse. Lurid website ‘publication’ seem to me not of much value.

    The expanding human enterprise will benefit from better medicine.
