An Inconvenient Study (2025)

In 2016, journalist Del Bigtree issued a challenge to the head of infectious disease at one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world: conduct the most thorough vaxed vs. unvaxxed study that has ever been done.

The expert took up the challenge and ran the study to prove Del wrong. That study never saw the light of day… until now.

Transcript (part)

Children struggling every day with ADHD. Scott's allergies made it hard to keep up with his friends. Allergic reactions from accidental food exposure, moderate to severe eczema, plaque, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, food allergies, allergies, seizure, asthma, eczema, we are now the sickest country in the world.
The health of American children is in crisis. A huge rise in chronic conditions in kids 17 and under. More than 40% of American children now have at least one chronic health condition.
Autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, juveninal diabetes, lupus, Crohn's disease, all this IBS.
I had eczema, asthma, all out. Allergies, stomach issues. This is to me the one that gets me. Just a few decades ago, one in 10,000 children had autism. Today, it's 1 in 31. ADD, ADHD, speech or light language like ticks, Touretted syndrome, narcolepsy, sleep disorders, ASD, autism. But there's no way in the world that these kind of rapid increases in the incidence of disease could be genetic. Genetic change takes generations, centuries to play out. What's really causing our kids of this generation to be so chronically sick? What the heck is happening?
America is the sickest nation in the industrialized world. It is now believed that over 54% of our kids have a chronic disease, either a neurological disorder or an autoimmune disease. That's up from only 12.8% back in the 1980s. In roughly 40 years, we have seen the greatest decline in human health ever recorded.
There he is. What if I told you there is a study that could shed light on this chronic disease epidemic, but no major medical institution seemed willing to do it?
What if I told you there was one scientist brave enough to conduct this study? How you doing, Mark? Good to see you. Nice to see you. Absolutely. What if I told you that when the study was finished, that scientist was too afraid to publish it? What would you do? Maybe you would do what I did. I got hidden cameras and recording equipment and I went to ask him why.
Thank you. You're very welcome. You're welcome. Have you all done with us before?
I want to show you a video. Okay. Curious of what's your reaction to this? Okay.
Just hit play here. Go ahead and press play there.
What was the most shocking thing from because I mean I know what I've seen. No, no, I thought it was important. It was it was it's important information because of uh you know it did show a difference between the groups.
We have some serious issues. No, I I actually agree with that. If I can't get this study out, then what hope is there for every kid in the future? I don't want to say it's not the right thing to do. It's the right thing to do, but they uh I'm just don't want it. I mean, I'm honestly like really emotional. It's sick. It's really sick.
Publishing something like that. Might as well uh retire. I'd be finished. So, who was that guy?
Zervo's probably going to lose his job over this.
You know, I'm thinking before we get into the hidden cameras and the study and Dr. Zervos and all that, why don't we just take it all the way back to how this actually started.
Please welcome to the I've been a medical journalist for almost 20 years now. My first 10 years was at CBS and the last eight years or so I've had my internet news show called the highwire. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are.
But the biggest change in my career happened when I produced a documentary about vaccinations called Vaxed. And at the center of that documentary was a whistleblower from the CDC named Dr. William Thompson. He came forward in 2015 and said that they were committing scientific fraud on the vaccine safety studies. Well, that film blew up and
became a worldwide sensation, mostly because we got so much bad press, starting with being kicked out of the Tribeca Film Festival. The decision to run a controversial documentary about vaccines has Robert Dairo at the center of a big screen backlash. Tonight, the film festival Robert Dairo started under fire. A controversial new film that many are characterizing as antivaccine. I think the movie is something to that people should see. There was a backlash which I haven't fully explored. I want to know the truth and I'm not antivaccine. I want safe vaccines. Vax producer Dell Bigree says cancelling the screening amounts to a suppression of the truth. I can't imagine what type of pressure came down that would make them pull a movie that they were obviously behind in the beginning. The message from the medical community is clear. This is one of those scientific questions that where science has provided an answer. Vax ended up being one of the most controversial documentaries in history. And because of that, there were lines down the block everywhere we went. Look at this crowd behind me. Look at this line. Goes on and on and on. In fact, the very first day we screened at Angelica Film Center in New York, I wanted to know why there's this giant line down the block. What are these people here for? Can every parent or someone you know if you have a family member with autism would you please stand up right now like to see three quarters of the room stood up. I remember feeling like the air just got sucked out of the room. I had no idea that there was this many people suffering from this issue. I ended up asking that question three screenings a day, 5 days a week for an entire year. And every single time, 3/4 of the room stood up. I realized I had stumbled on something absolutely massive. Hello everybody. This is Jamie. Jamie said she's Can you guys both tell us your names? I'm Stephanie.
And this is Zia. After the screenings, parents of injured children were inspired to tell their own stories. We set up video cameras and started interviewing everybody that wanted to talk. And what I discovered is it wasn't just autism and it wasn't just the MMR vaccine. There was an ocean of vaccine injury and nobody was talking about it. Doctor says, "Well, do you want the flu vaccine?" I was like, "Might as well do it now." I gave in. I did polio. They gave her the heax. She got the two-mon shots the MMR vaccine. by 10:30 that morning and she was arching her back, clinching her fists. I didn't think I was going to cry. That night, we were in the hospital with the 106° fever. He began to projectile vomit. He began to this loud pitch scream. Like that's when the blood curling experience started. I did not lay down for 10 months straight um because she would she would vomit and esphyxiate. She would vomit at night and she would lie there while she was asleep and she would choke on it. When we had that vaccination, he lost all language. He just stopped talking. He wasn't talking. He didn't want to nurse. She went to not talking at all. He was developing really well except for motor skills. He's got chronic allergies, an eczema rash, food protein intercolitis syndrome. She couldn't eat anything on the glycemic index that was too high. GI symptoms. You started to have a gut inflammation, chronic snoring, sleep apnea, seizure- like activity. We woke up. She just burned and she died in her arms. Yeah. I continued to vaccinate her and make her worse and make her sicker. The guilt and the It's so overwhelming.
They killed my daughter.
Clearly, this was a bigger issue than anybody realized. But there was one particular interview that we did that really changed my perspective forever. Colton was a 13-year-old healthy, strong boy. He loved anything that has to do with an adrenaline rush. Motocross was his passion. The doctor says, "Hey, he's the age that uh you should get the HPV vaccine." I said, "Okay." So, he was administered the vaccine. And then this is the last day he got to ride that big boy bike. And that day he came home, he was starting to feel nauseous, really sore neck. He still didn't want to get out of bed. I just thought, "Man, you're just really weak and exhausted." And uh that evening uh when he sat up to take a a drink of water, he just flopped back and his head just hit the pillow and I went, "Colleton, are you going paralyzed?" They immediately took him down to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake. Original diagnosis was transverse myitis. When the doctor came out and asked me, "Has he been sick?" I said, "No, he hasn't been sick." He had the HPV vaccine on February 1st. and they went, "Oh, well, um, we'll be reporting that to bars." It does suck like not being able to play sports anymore. Um, now I have to sit on the sideline, just watch everybody. You got to do your research. Like, you don't you can't just trust a doctor anymore. Do your own ways to find out what's best for you.
Unfortunately, Colton ended up taking his life in 2018 because he believed he'd become too much of a burden on his family. But the thing I remember about standing there and watching that interview taking place, my co-producer, Poly Tommy, was doing the interview was this box that was hanging on his side that was breathing for him. and it went through a tube that was going through a hole in his throat and he literally had to wait for it to fill his lungs with air before he could answer a question. So he go and then he would start answering the question until he ran out of air. I thought about all of the people that accused these so-called antiaers of bringing back polio or the iron lung.
Once vaccination rates fall, you're going to have a lot of people getting sick and a lot of children paralyzed for the rest of their life with polio. I thought, he's wearing an iron lung. You're not laying in a metal tube anymore. They've reduced it down to a box that hangs on your side and a hose that goes to your throat. But in this case, he wasn't paralyzed because he had polio. He wasn't paralyzed because he didn't vaccinate. He was paralyzed by the Gardicil HPV vaccine. I chose to get my daughter vaccinated because I want her to be one less woman affected by cervical cancer. One less part of self. Then I went home and started looking up all of the inserts, the warning labels that are wrapped around all the childhood vaccines and most of them say it right there in serious adverse events. Gonet syndrome, that's paralysis or transverse myelitis paralysis. And I realized polio vaccine is a success. We didn't eradicate paralytic diseases with the vaccine program. The vaccine works. We're causing paralytic diseases with our vaccine program.
So, as we travel the country, some parents would come up and say, "I'm about to have a baby. I'm definitely not going to get the MMR vaccine cuz your movie shows that that one's dangerous. but what about the other 16 vaccines that are given in 72 doses by the time my child's 18? And I'd say I only have anecdotal evidence from the thousands of interviews I've done that not a single childhood vaccine is safe. But that's not scientific. I wanted something better. I wanted to get to the bottom of this. So I started a nonprofit called the informed consent action network based on the Nuremberg code's right to voluntary consent of the German air force.
The ethical principle globally agreed upon in the wake of the Nazi doctor's horrifying human experiments of inmates concentration camps for experimental purposes where it states the voluntary consent to the human subject is absolutely essential and there should be no element to force fraud deceit duress or overreaching or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion.
What I wanted to do was investigate the entire vaccine program. I was really focused on one thing. We hear that vaccines are safe and effective. But before we even worry about if they're effective, how did we determine they're safe? We started looking at all the science around the world. But we hit a big roadblock. You can't sue a manufacturer of a vaccine. It's one of the only products in America that has what they call liability protection. The reason is because of a law that was passed in 1986 by the US government. The pharmaceutical industry basically blackmailed the government and they said we are losing so much money from lawsuits for death and injury from our vaccines. We can't make a profit. Studies have shown that the whooping cough or pertussis vaccine causes brain damage. The controversy isn't really over the fact that it happens but how often it happens.
And they said if you want us to continue making vaccines you're going to have to take on the liability. And our government agreed to that. if you want to sue or you want to get any information outside of what's publicly known, you're going to have to sue the government. And that's when I realized I need a constitutional attorney. And I found a guy named Aaron Siri. Mr. Siri, you're not a medical doctor, are you? No, sir.
And you're not an immunologist or biologist or any kind of or vaccinologist? No, but I depose them regularly, including the world's leading ones with regards to vaccines. and I have to make my claims based on actual evidence. When I go to court with regards to vaccines, I don't get to rely on titles. Okay?
He had a genius way forward. We're going to sue the government agencies, HHS, FDA, NIH, and we started winning. And what did we prove in those lawsuits?
That the entire science behind vaccine safety was nothing but a complete fraud.
Doctors used to listen to parents when their parents came in and said, "Hey, my kid is suffering with this condition, has this issue, doctors listened to them." But when parents started coming in and saying, "My kid went in and got a vaccine and then started having X issue," that's when doctors stopped listening. Hi, how you doing? We have triplets, two boys and a girl, Richie, Robbie, and Claire. Every day in our life was a party. Every single day they were smiling and laughing and looking at each other, engaging in each other. On June 25th, 2007, we brought him in for the pneumococcal shot. My daughter still has the mark on her leg from the shot. She was the first one to get it and she screamed and never really stopped screaming after that. But we continue. We didn't know. We did the boys as well.
By noon, Claire shut completely off. It was as if she was blind and deaf. And all she did at that moment was stare at the ceiling fan. So that was at noon. We had the shot at 10:00 a.m.
2:00. We watched Richie shut off. They lost all their reflexes. Um, I'm an educational aiologist. I actually did the test for the stipedial reflex, which is a little muscle in the middle ear, just to see if a muscle they can't control was still working, and it it didn't. Um, the stipedial re reflex dampens sound, so your ears don't hurt from a really loud sound. And both of them had no stipedial reflex. They stop blinking, stop yawning, stops coughing, stop sneezing. The worst is when we saw the final one shut down. We were told it was genetic and then we were told by geneticists that there's no possible way three children was shut off on the same day. So we had severe autism um spectrum disorder for all three kids entering kindergarten. We have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to recover them. The only person that we got back is Rich or Robbie. um the one that was last to shut off.
Richie can only say single maybe two words together. Claire is still completely nonverbal, not potty trained, and Robbie is approaching grade level, but severe OCD. Let me tell you what a day in our life is. So, you got say a 6 or 7 or 8year-old child who's not potty trained and at 2 or 3 or 4:00 in the morning, they fill their diaper. I want you to assume that's pretty uncomfortable. So, they take it off pretty soon. Pretty soon it's all over them. It's all over the bed in short order. It's all over me. It's all over her. Mhm. Uh I'm snapping at her. She's snapping at me. We're both snapping at the kid who is the only innocent party in the whole scenario. And the one thing that's conspicuously absent from that scenario is uh is anybody who told you that shot was safe. They're all asleep in their bed. They haven't got a problem in the world.
This one story of Richie, Robbie, and Claire puts an end to any discussion that autism is only caused by genetics. There is no genetic explanation that would turn three brothers and sisters off on the exact same day. What you should do when there are widespread complaints that a product is causing a given harm is you should study it.
Vaccines should be tested like other medicines. They should be safety tested. And unfortunately, vaccines are not safety tested. Of the 72 vaccine doses now mandated, essentially mandated, they're recommended, but they're really mandated for American children, none of them, not one, has ever been subject to a pre-licensing placebo control trial. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. has been torn apart by mainstream media for saying that there's no placebo trials being done for vaccines. But he's right. It's exactly what we found in our lawsuits against the government. Not a single childhood vaccine is going through a double blind randomized placebo control trial prior to lure. That's the gold standard of safety testing for all pharmaceutical products, but is being skipped for vaccines. In case you forgot how a double blind placebo based trial worked, as we discussed it back in high school science class, let me remind you, we break up a group of kids into two groups. One group is going to get the vaccine. The other group is going to get a placebo which is a product that has no effect on the human body. When it comes to an injectable like vaccines, that is a saline injection. Then it's called double blinded because both the scientists and the patients are blinded from knowing which one they got. Did they get the vaccine or did they get the placebo? This is so that the scientists will not manipulate the study in favour of the pharmaceutical industry that will stand to make a lot of money if this vaccine proves to be safe. Then we track these two groups for two to five years, sometimes as long as 10 years for a lot of drugs. And at the end of that study, we unblind both the patient and the scientist. So we look at both groups, the vaccinated and the placebo group, and we compare their health outcomes. Who had more cancer? Who had more diabetes or ADD ADHD or autism or Tourette's or lupus or multiple scerosis? All of these things that are currently skyrocketing in the United States of America. And if when you compare them, they both turn out the same, there's the same amount of issues in the vaccinated group as is in the placebo group, then you know it's safe. If you establish what we call a safety baseline. But if the vaccinated group has more issues than the placebo group, then we know it's not safe and it shouldn't be put on the market. Only one problem. Not a single vaccine on the childhood schedule has ever been through a double blind placebo based trial. Therefore, they cannot say the vaccines are safe based on science. Are all uh vaccine trials placebo controlled? No. Uh and nor should they be. So for example um when Prevenar 13, so Prevenar was a conjugate numacco vaccine. The FDA has approved a new Numacco vaccine. It had to be tested in a phase three trial and so the the control group there was Prevnor 7 and had been shown to work. It will replace Prebnar which was effective against seven stereotypes.
You can't ask parents to to take to put their children at risk of pneumakal disease when there existed on the market at the time a vaccine to prevent that. And the World Health Organization has been very clear on this that would have been considered an ethical trial. Dr. Paul Oppit's one of the big proponents of vaccinations probably because he's made a vaccine and made a killing off of it. The rotavirus vaccines on the childhood schedule. It doesn't matter whether I financially benefited or not. He likes to go around and say, "Well, we can't always do placebo trials, especially if there's already a vaccine that covers that disease." So, he'll use an example like Prevnar 13. Prevnar 13 in its safety trial was tested against Prevnar 7, the earlier version of the vaccine. And he'll say, "You cannot test Prevnar 13 against a saline placebo because it would be unethical. you'd be denying children access to a vaccine that is already on the market and that's not fair to them. But what he leaves out is that Prevnar 7 was never tested against a saline placebo. So we don't know if it's safe. So we're testing one product we don't know the safety profile on with another product we don't know the safety profile on. And this is how the entire vaccine schedule works. I like to call this the whiskey study. Let me explain. Let's say there's a group of people that are complaining that whiskey is making people drunk and they're crashing their cars and people are getting killed. Now, in order to test, does whiskey cause car accidents, you would set up a double blind placebo trial. One group, the test group, would get the 10 shots of whiskey. The other group, the placebo group, would get 10 shots of water. And then we'd have them both drive on a driving course and see who has more accidents. It's obvious, but in this case, the whiskey company is the one doing the study. And what they say is, "Oh, we're going to do a placebo- based trial, but our placebo-based trial is not going to be water. It'll be vodka." Another product already on the market. And so, 10 people get the whiskey shots and 10 people get the vodka shots. And they had them all drive. And guess what? They had just as many car accidents. Therefore, whiskey does not cause car accidents because it didn't cause any more than the vodka did. And so to take this all the way to the end of Dr. Paul Offett's point, if vodka had ever been tested against 10 shots of water and there was no car accidents in the vodka group, then it would make sense to test the whiskey against the vodka. But we all know that study was never done. Just like no vaccine placebo study was ever done. All you have to do is type in FDA licensed vaccines on your computer and every vaccine that they give your child on the childhood schedule will appear there and then you can click on any one you're interested in. Let's click on recumbax HB. This is one of the hepatitis B vaccines they give your baby on the first day of life. Hello, welcome to the world. Gasp for your first breath and here comes your first sexually transmitted disease. Now go to vaccine insert. This is the insert or the warning label that is wrapped around the vaccine when it's delivered to your doctor. It has all kinds of information like what's in the vaccine, all the ingredients, side effects of the vaccine. But I want you to focus on section 6.1. This is where they talk about the clinical trial they relied upon to establish safety. It's always 6.1 on every single vaccine, so you can look at all of them. But in this one, you'll see that there was only 147 children in the entire trial. And they were only monitored for 5 days after each dose. 5 days. So think about it. Would you take any drug that was only monitored for safety for 5 days? If your child dies on day six, it wasn't captured by this trial. They'll say, "We didn't see any deaths." If a child had autism 2 years later or other autoimmune diseases or neurological disorders, things that take years to develop, they'll say, "We didn't see any in our trial." This is why every drug we take goes through a multi-year safety trial. Most of your issues are going to take years to develop. And if your study isn't that long, you'll never ever see them. We had an interesting opportunity to talk about this with Dr. Stanley Platkin who's considered to be the reigning godfather of our vaccine program.
Dr. Stan Plotkin. Dr. Plotkin. Virtually every country in the world is affected by his vaccines.
Like the rebella vaccine, the rotovirus vaccine, rabies. He trained just a generation of scientists, including myself, to think like he thinks. He developed the standard textbook for vaccines in 1988. Bill Gates calls his book a Bible for vaccinologists. I hope it's more accurate than the Bible.
In 2018, our attorney Aaron Siri had the opportunity to depose under oath Dr. Stanley Plain and he asked him this exact question. Is a 5-day safety trial long enough to capture all of the side effects that people are complaining about from the hepatitis B vaccine?
Dr. pluck and this is the product the manufacturer insert for recombax HP correct yes and the clinical trial experience would be found in section 6.1 correct correct Dr. plin. Yes. Okay. Uh in section 6.1, when you look at the clinical trials that were done pre-licenture for Kovac HP, how long does it say that safety was monitored after each dose? Uh let's see.
Uh 5 days. Okay. Is 5 days long enough to detect an autoimmune issue that arises after 5 days? Uh, no. Is 5 days long enough to detect any neurological disorder that arose from the vaccine after 5 days? No, there is no control group. Correct. Uh, it does not mention any control group. No. No. If you turn to section 6.2 two under the nervous system disorders it states that there have been reports of gonareet syndrome correct yes as well as multiple sclerosis exacerbation of multiple sclerosis myelitis including transverse myelitis seizure febal seizure peripheral neuropathy including bell's paly muscle weakness hypothesia and encphilitis correct correct okay now um Now before you go on, these reports are required to be included because they have been reported to the authorities as happening after vaccination. That is not proof that the vaccine caused those reactions. In order to establish whether it's causal between the vaccine and the condition, you need a randomly a randomized placebo controlled study. But that was not done for the he this hepatitis B vaccine before lenture was it?
No. Okay. Without a control group, if you're looking for uh a phenomenon occurring in the vaccine group, you cannot judge that phenomenon without having a control group. Isn't it true that it would now be considered unethical to conduct such a study today?
Um, it would be yes, it would be ethic and difficult.
So, this is how the entire game is played. They don't do a safety placebo trial before the vaccine's licensed. Then when people start lining up with all of these serious side effects, you say, "Well, can you do a placebo trial now?" And they'll say, "No, it's unethical." So, they won't do it before. They won't do it after there's injuries.
And when they can't do a study, your doctor says to you, "I haven't seen any studies that show that these injuries are being caused by the vaccine.
Therefore, I'm going to assume they're safe." Do you agree with the CDC's recommendation that babies receive a hepatitis B on the first day of life? Yes. You stated that hepatitis B doesn't cause encephalitis, right? That's my opinion. Yes. But the M after doing its review determined it couldn't find science to support a causal determination one way or another.
Correct? Yes. But that means that they that they don't have evidence for the supposition that it either causes or doesn't cause. Right? They don't know. They don't know because there aren't enough data. In the absence of data, my conclusion is that there are no there's no proof that causation exists. So if there's no data to show that it causes or it doesn't cause. Yes. Your your your supposition is that is that is that I understand correctly? Yes. Is that it doesn't cause it. That there's no proof that it does. Okay. That's different than saying it doesn't cause it. Correct. Correct.
So, let's be clear. Vaccine safety is not based on science and data. It's based on an assumption of safety. And that is the stalemate we find ourselves in. But there's one way out of it. Instead of doing a placebo-based study, you can do a retrospective study looking at people that have already made their choice whether they're going to vaccinate or not. And then you just compare those groups, the ones that got the vaccines and the ones that decided not to vaccinate. We call that the vaccinated versus unvaccinated study. It's been done by a few independent scientists and institutes amongst small groups of children but never by a major government agency or a major medical facility. The reason this study is important I think is illustrated by a study that was done in Guinea Basau Africa by a man named Dr. Peter Abbe.
He's one of the lead experts. He's pro- vaccine and he develops vaccine programs for the third world. He had a DTP vaccine program he'd run 30 years ago in Guinea Basau, Africa and recognized 30 years later, you know what, only half the children in the country got that vaccine and the other half didn't. I could do a perfect comparative study between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. And when he did that study, the results blew his mind. This is about vaccines. And I think it's important to recognize that no routine vaccine was tested for overall effect on mortality in randomized trials before being introduced. I guess most of you think that we know what our vaccines are doing. We don't. The program we are talking about at the time, the vaccine program was introduced sort of in the late '7s after the success with the eradication of small pox. Wo made sort of the first immunization program for the low-income countries. Well, you comes out here, you had 2.3 times higher mortality if you are DTP vaccinated and that is the most commonly used vaccine in the world. So the whooping cough vaccine or ptosis vaccine was associated with twofold higher mortality. You can have a vaccine which is fully protective against a specific disease but associated with higher mortality. How is that possible? After looking at this study, it was clear that the vaccine did protect against the diseases they were
vaccinated for. The kids didn't die of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. Only one problem. Once they looked at it, they were dying at five times the rate of all of these other issues. So, it was clear that though was protecting against these diseases, it was weakening their immune systems to all sorts of other problems. One of the other scientists on this study did a TED talk on this. In spite of being protected against three deadly diseases, the introduction of DTP was associated with increased overall mortality.
Children who received DTP vaccine had five times higher risk of dying than those who didn't. And this is just one example of many studies now done of DTP vaccine. And they all show the same. DTP vaccinated children have higher mortality than those who didn't get DTP.
So it appears that DTP vaccine has negative non-specific effects. The protection against the three deadly diseases comes at a very high price, namely increased risk of dying. So with
the best of intentions, the use of DTP vaccine may kill more children than it saves. I know these results are extremely uncomfortable and most people, including myself, just wish they weren't true, but this is what the data tells us.
That was just a study of one vaccine in a group of children. What if you studied children that were receiving not one vaccine, but between 72 and 100 vaccines by the time they're 18? Of course, I'm talking about the most vaccinated nation in the world, the United States of America.
Our federal health authorities actually paid the Institute of Medicine to look at the safety of the vaccine schedule as a whole. And the Institute of Medicine after conducting that review came back with a report in 2013. The report said no studies have compared the differences in health outcomes between entirely unimmunized populations of children and fully immunized children. It's the CDC's responsibility to do those studies and they've been ordered again and again and again to do them and they have refused. But the Institute of Medicine has looked at the vaccine schedule and said in in their 2011 report, there are over 150 injuries that are likely to be associated with vaccines that have never been studied. Well, what did the CDC do after the Institute of Medicine issued that report? Instead of doing the study, they ended up doing a study on how to do a vax versus unvaxed study. it went and paid a whole lot of money to issue a
white paper on how to conduct that study comparing vaccinated versus unvaccinated kids. That white paper came out in 2015. Now, um here we are in 2025, 10 years later. They've still never published that study. Now, have they've never done the study?
I can't tell you. This is information that vaccine safety advocates want and have been asking for a long time and I'm not sure why it hasn't been done. This simple study would shut up every antivaxer forever. I have to believe that they have done this study every way they possibly can and they can't seem to figure out how to make it look like the vaccinated are healthier. But that's just my opinion. based on several other studies I've seen that did compare vaccinated to unvaccinated, but mainstream medicine says, "Well, the cohort was too small." Or they poke holes in it saying it wasn't done by a major medical institution. So, if we're ever going to get a vax versus unvaccinated study that people believe in, it's going to have to be done by highly accredited scientists at a major medical institution who has a database big enough to do a thorough robust investigation comparing the vaccinated to the unvaccinated. As fate would have it, Dell met the head of infectious disease at Henry Ford Health System, Marcus Servos.
I'll never forget that meeting cuz you said something to me. You said, "I've watched your film. It's intriguing." But you said I'll never forget. You said you've been saying something. I watched your videos that I had an issue with. You said that they cannot say that vaccines are safe cuz they never done the proper safety studies. And you said to me, I actually researched that cuz I wanted to like see if that was true. And I and you said I I'm sorry to have to
report to you that you're actually right about that. No, I say proper safety studies have not been done. And to now too, it's same thing. I still say it now. The proper safety studies haven't been done. So then I said to you, all right, still true. And you're like, I don't know what I'm doing here. I don't agree with you. I believe in vaccines. And I said, would you ever consider doing a vaccinated versus unvaccinated study? And you said I would do anything wherever the data the data is the data, right? Yeah. The first time I met with Dr. Zervos, he agreed to do a vaccinated versus unvaccinated study. I mean, I was ecstatic. He was perfect. Ford Medical Center is one of the greatest research centers in the world and Dr. Zervos is in the middle of being a hero for having just worked out the entire Flint, Michigan water crisis. County water pipeline. 74 miles of large diameter pipeline will stretch for decades. Flint, one of the poorest cities in America, had bought its water from Detroit. Instead of staying on the Detroit water supply while the pipeline was being built, the city would temporarily get its water from the Flint River. That decision would force the city to activate an old water treatment plant. Here's the plant. This is what is coming out of the tap. Water's brown. Has a bad odor. We cannot drink the water. They soon became a breeding ground for Legionella and people were getting sick. The oxygen. You're on that all the time or do you ever get to take it?
I want it all the time. Yeah. Her doctor, Marcus Zervos, had been treating a chronic skin infection that her weakened immune system couldn't control. They are doing a lot better. I'm ecstatic. You know, if I can get them healed over a little bit more, I'm going to get you an appointment with those transplant doctors.
There had been 90 confirmed cases in the year and a half following the water switch. 12 people had died. Sean Murray had pulled together a team of 23 scientists and experts from around the state. The team says the state wouldn't authorize them to start the search for the source of the outbreak. Dr. Zervos was the infectious disease expert and he was worried about the delay. It was critical to start right away because by June we expected to see more cases of Legionnaire's disease and there would be more deaths which is what we expressed in a meeting that included top leadership at MDHHS. I remember my colleague telling him that if he didn't do that you know people could die. Unfortunately Nick Lion's response was that well they have to die of something. I mean, you're just in shock as a result of him saying that of the director of the health department.
Dr. Zervo seemed perfect. He'd stood up against the entire health system in Michigan. So, I figured he'd probably be brave enough to do this study. But then a couple of years went by and still no study. I called Aaron and said, "Why don't we go see if we can't convince him to
finally do this study?" I flew down to Michigan and we went to meet Dr. Zervos in person. We said, "Look, here's your opportunity. The results should be directly in line with the orthodoxy. The vaccinated kids should be healthy across the board. He could be hailed a hero for finally shutting up the antivaxxers."
He said he's willing to do it. The study was going to use the data they literally already have in their fingertips. The data of millions of people who are already in the Henry Ford health system database including hundreds maybe thousands of completely unvaccinated children as well as obviously children who are vaccinated. What that would allow is taking that multi-million person database, segregating out the children who had been in the Henry Ford system from birth continuously for a few years because it's a captive HMO environment, meaning it provides the insurance and provides the medical care. It has most of the health records for these kids, including if they go out of the Henry Ford medical system, Henry Ford as the insurer was still paying for it. So they have the health codes for all the medical services that these kids got. So if you segregated out those kids, now you have a cohort of children from birth for at least a few years where you knew everything about them. I previously was a program director at Henry Ford Hospital, so I know it well. It's one of the best integrated health systems to do research. Henry Ford receives over $90 million in annual research funding with nearly 700 residents and fellows in 53 ACGME accredited training programs. I think Henry Ford, like other institutions, has a bias towards the goodness of vaccines. You can't miss it. It's a full page letter here from Henry Ford with 56 signatures saying in bold letters, "The science is clear. Vaccines save lives." If the results came back demonstrating that the battery of vaccines was associated with chronic diseases and that unvaccinated appeared healthier over time, such a result would be particularly convincing. You know, I'm for vaccines. I'm not, you know, I'm obviously for I think it's the best way of controlling infectious diseases which are deadly. I'm for mandatory vaccination. I'm the Henry Ford is mandatory vaccination because of me. Henry Ford is one of about 90 health care systems across the United States that are working to enrol a total of 30,000 volunteers in the Maderna Cove vaccine study as quickly as possible. This is the worst pandemic of the last 100 years and our best hope of dealing with this is by having an effective vaccine.
Henry Ford is requiring all 33,000 staff members to be fully vaccinated by September 10th, 2021. The health system says this is consistent with its existing vaccination policy which includes team members get the flu shot every year and stay current with other vaccinations.
It appeared to me that Henry Ford was pro-vaccine not anti-vaccine. So I had to assume the only reason they would do this study was to prove us wrong. Dell and I thought that was an excellent opportunity. They can do the comparison and presumably they could get it published. We only had one request. The ask was whatever the outcome, you publish it. Would he stick to that if the results show that unvaccinated kids are healthier? And when he realized that if he submitted that for publication, he's going to face the wrath of his entire profession.
Didn't know. This was our greatest fear. I mean, vaccines are the holy grail of modern medicine. And anyone that decides to challenge vaccines in any way are essentially considered heretics. Vaccines are safe. Vaccines are safe and effective.
Vaccines are safe and highly effective. Safe and effective. Safe and they're highly effective. Vaccines are one of humanity's most incredible accomplishments and they've saved millions of lives. Childhood vaccines have prevented about 4 million deaths around the world every year. The overwhelming majority of paediatricians in this country strongly support vaccinations. missing her vaccination dates. We're not vaccinating. The schedule, as it's currently recommended, is well tested.
We've studied it in so many millions of children, billions of people, decades of extensive peer-reviewed scientific studies, centuries of science. The science is pretty settled for many years now.
This idea that we're taking too many vaccines, there's really no science to back that up. The scientific community publishes, you know, paper after paper after paper. There is nothing to see. There's nothing to see.
I will not stand here and let conspiracy theories distract from real solutions.
Most doctors can't tolerate being called quacks or having the reputation destroyed. And and you know, I went from treating at the head of the laboratory at my hospital for hypertension to becoming, you know, somebody that was doubted on every levels after a while because of one thing that I said, which was, can we stop giving vaccines to my sick patients and give it to them on the day of discharge? And had they not tried to intimidate me, doubt me, and pushed me to research and show that what I saw was actually real, I would still be lockep working as a regular doctor.
The Florida Department of Health in partnership with the governor is going to be working to end all vaccine mandates in Florida law. All of them. All of them. My experience with discussing or disclosing harms associated with the vaccines is that those are not welcome ideas or conversations. That move from the Florida Surgeon General, a doctor there drawing condemnation from public health experts. Whether it's ignorance, it's stupidity, or it's malice. At the end of the day, people are going to get hurt.
He's not going to necessarily receive a warm embrace by some of the people in his profession, but that's really what courage is all about. It's a very hostile environment both scientifically and in the media for individuals who reach conclusions or have opinions that counter mainstream ideas.
Every independent scientist that has ever ventured into doing a vaccinated versus unvaccinated study of any kind is immediately under assault. There's one by Dr. Anthony Mosson out of Mississippi. He did a homeschool study of about 600 kids and discovered alarming rates of allergies, ADD, ADHD, neurological disorders, and a four-fold increased risk of autism amongst the vaccinated. As soon as the study came out, his job was under threat. In fact, I asked him if he'd be in this film, and he said, "Look, you can show my studies, but I have just been dragged through the coals on this. I can't take anymore."
Then there's Dr. Paul Thomas. Hey, how you guys doing?
What I'm seeing on this side is a pink, dull, scarred up eardrum. I've been a paediatrician for 35 years. I'm now retired. What I noticed in the first decade or so of my practice is kids were getting sicker and sicker. And over the next decade, as more and more patients chose not to vaccinate, I got to see the difference. But I wanted to see, could I prove it? So, we got all the data from my practice. We looked at every baby born into my practice and published it in an international journal of public health. What we found, and that study was peer- reviewviewed, it was robust.
We found massive increases. I mean, we're talking 4 to 500% more allergies, autoimmune conditions, neurodedevelopmental issues, and then we had infections of all kinds. Massively
increased in the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated. What happened when I published that study?
Within days of it being available online, I get a call from my attorney. Don't go see any patients. Don't write any prescriptions. Don't go into the office. Your license has been eently suspended. You are a threat to public health. What's today? Today it is the last time I will be doing clinical medicine in Oregon. Knowing that you guys are keeping it going, the heart of this place lives on.
So what if Dr. Zervos does this study and it turns out exactly the same way as the others? Would he still publish it? That was the question.
Years went by. In 2020, I was informed they had put together a study.
When I had that study in my hand and I looked at it, the significance of it, it was an actual study that when published was the first step in changing this landscape. Weeks went by and then more time went by and at some point what I learned was it was not going to get submitted for publication.
Aaron called me and said, "They finished the study. Only one problem. They're not going to publish it." I mean, it was everything we were afraid of.
I called Dr. Zervos and I said, "Can I fly out and meet you for dinner?" And he agreed.
I wanted to look Zervos in the eyes and ask him, "What's so damning in this study that you're afraid to publish it?"
I wanted to know what was in this study. I hadn't seen it. I also imagined there's got to be a way to talk him into publishing this study. But one thing was for sure. This was my last chance. I'm going to bring hidden cameras and recording equipment so that no matter what happens at this dinner, I can prove it happened. What do you think about the study you guys have done? It's important information because of uh you know it did show a difference between the groups. I don't know how to oh how to explain I don't know how to explain it but it is a it's important it was an important finding I mean the study was what do you find any flaws in the study I mean is there a way they could do the study you can do the study better with what's there? Not today. What? Not impact of childhood vaccination on short and long-term chronic health outcomes in children. A birth cohort study.
This one is really robust. I say the results. Yeah. What were the results? The CDC put out a white paper on how you would look at vaccinated versus unvaccinated and we followed it to a team. I agree with you. No, you agree with it. No, we 100% did. We looked at this every other way and sideways. I think this is a devastating commentary on our public health interventions because if this is true, we are systematically making kids sick and not just a little bit sick, very sick. Publishing something like that, I might as well uh retire. I'd be finished.
I mean, I'm just curious. What in this data makes you think it will be as catastrophic to your career as you think? What was he so afraid of?
The study was a bombshell. 18,468 subjects. 1,957 of them were fully unvaccinated. When comparing the health outcomes of the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated, they found an increased risk in the vaccinated of several chronic health conditions. The vaccinated subjects were over four times
more likely to have an asthma diagnosis. 4.29 times in the adjusted and that seems I've looked at a lot of studies that's 3.26 to 5.65.
They also found three times the risk for attopic diseases which is kind of a subset of allergic diseases. They found a almost six times risk for autoimmune disease. The autoimmune diseases this paper looked at include thrombocytopenic perpa, rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, systemic lupus erythematosus, MS, multiple sclerosis and goneret syndrome. They mentioned there are over 80 different autoimmune diseases. And what their data showed for autoimmunity, six times increase in those who got vaccines when compared to the unvaccinated, which is staggering because autoimmune disorders really represent significant morbidity and health costs and suffering, you know, accured over a lifetime.
Neurodevelopmental disorders. What kind of numbers we talking about? Do you remember? five and a half times risk for neurodevelopmental disorders. We know that the immune system is intimately connected with both brain development and brain functioning. And so when the immune system gets triggered by illness, potentially by vaccination, you can get neuropsychiatric symptoms presumably related to brain inflammation and you know immune processes in the brain.
2.92 times the amount of motor disabilities, 4.47 times the amount of speech disorders in the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated. Three times the rate of developmental delay.
They found the same things I found related to allergy and autoimmunity. Also, six times more acute and chronic ear infections. Interestingly, there were several health conditions where they couldn't even do this analysis because there were none in the unvaccinated group. The way that the mathematical formulas work, you can't have a zero in any one group and be able to compare risk. For example, there were 262 children who had ADHD in the vaccinated group. Amongst the unvaccinated group, there were zero cases of ADHD. Zero. These ones are just mind-boggling. These conditions were not found at all in almost 2,000 unvaccinated kids. Zero brain dysfunction, zero diabetes, zero behavioural problems, zero learning disabilities, zero intellectual disabilities, zero ticks, and zero other psychological disabilities in the unvaccinated.
I'm going to read the conclusion here. Despite this and in contrast to our expectations, again, the author's expectations was they'd conduct the study and probably find vaccinated people a whole lot healthier than the unvaccinated, right? This is what we found. We found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an overall 2.5 fold increase in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition when compared to children unexposed to vaccination.
any vaccine, even just one, compared to none, had two and a half times more likely to have a chronic health condition in there were no chronic health conditions associated with an increased risk in the unexposed group. None.
What does this graph mean? Explain that to me. So it's no vaccines versus vaccines.
That's basically your likelihood of not having a chronic health condition. They did something called time toevent analysis. At 10 years, the likelihood of being free from a chronic illness was only 43% in the vaccinated group versus 83% in the unvaccinated group. It's a big difference. So if you're unvaccinated, you stay up here above the se was it 80% of you are going to be perfectly healthy. Whereas you're dropping below the 50 percentile, which is exactly what I've been stating. I've been saying 54% of America's children have a chronic illness now. It's right there.
That that's that's basically what that's showing. 10 years follow-up, 57% of the vaccinated had a chronic health condition in just 10 years.
That should shock everyone. Let's remember the entire conversation of the moment in America is the fact that 54% of our children are chronically ill. And here we are looking at the study and it's almost exactly those numbers. 57% of the vaccinated are chronically ill whereas only 17% of the unvaccinated.
I think because I have an interest in vaccines and I understand offtarget non-specific effects. I was sad but I wasn't surprised. I can tell you that these data are consistent with my greatest concerns regarding the childhood vaccination schedule. That despite the good intentions of the field of vaccinology, that is backfiring on us. In virtually every single chronic health category, the vaccinated are doing far worse.
But there is one issue. It's the one that I have been talking about for years and puts me into the middle of this entire investigation and that is autism. And in this study, it appears that there was no statistical significance with the vaccine autism connection. And I wanted to know why. Yet autism is neutral. Does that mean we're wrong about autism, Mark? No. No. No. No. It's uh there are a lot of variables involved and it's hard to control for when you don't have a lot of instances as occurred here with autism where you only have 23 instances of autism in the vaccinated group and one instance of autism in the unvaccinated group. That wasn't enough instances to actually be able to determine whether or not there is a statistically significant increased rate of autism. So even though the study shows all sorts of neurodevelopmental disorders, when it comes to autism, there weren't enough children diagnosed with autism in this group to answer that question. That is why studies like this need to be replicated at even larger scales.
The fact is there's a signal and the signal is unvaccinated kids healthy. That should be a very important positive study. Yes. The converse of this is kids that are vaccinated, it doesn't look so good. Particularly for the neuropsychiatric disorders looking at the measure of association, I'm an epidemiologist. I live in this. Neutral is one. Neutral means no association is one. If it's two, it means there's a two-fold risk. When we're doing non-randomized data, especially from corporate data stores, what have you, we have a higher threshold. And a good threshold to remember is four. If there's a four-fold increased risk in a data set, if we were go to go do this somewhere else, almost certainly we would find an association when this is telling us that the risk relationship is greater than four.
I was sitting at that dinner reading the study for the first time and thinking, "Oh my god, the world needs to see this study." But the more I pressed Dr. Zervos to publish it, the more excuses he had. I think it's a good study, but it has it does have limitations to it. The argument against it is going to be that it's same thing retrospective. It's not a controlled group control group that
there's other factors involved. It's a heterogeneous group of conditions. The perfect example was hydroxychloroquine. Did I happen to mention that not only was Dr. reservos at the center of the Flint, Michigan water crisis. He was also at the center of the hydroxychloroquine study that was done by Ford and showed a 50% reduction in death for those that received hydroxychloroquine. And for that, he got attacked by Tony Fouchy and virtually everybody in mainstream media and the medical world. The Henry Ford Hospital study that was published was a non-controlled retrospective cohort study. So that study is a flawed study. the PR at Henry Ford, they put a gag order on me, you know, I couldn't talk about anything. And they said to me, Mark, so what? You know, so you go on CNN, you know, which they would be happy. They'd be thrilled to have you on CNN and you know, and you say what you feel, but they're just going to twist what you say anyway and make you look bad anyway. So what good what good is it going to be? So I should still be able to defend myself and, you know, and say what the inaccuracies are. So, I'm thinking to myself, maybe the Henry Ford PR was right. Is that it's just going to get twisted around anyway, make you look bad, and you get fired. So, what good does it do? So, what's going to happen with this one is the same thing is that somebody's going to come back and they're going to say, you know, the study was the study is flawed as opposed to looking at it in the way that it should be looked at. How about looking at this as important scientific information that can inform how the proper study should be done? It won't be taken like that. And then I say why because there's a political agenda to it. I get it. It has its issues. Any retrospective study is always going to have the same problems, right? Always have the same attacks upon it. There are limitations to retrospective studies. That's the reason why we like to do randomized clinical trials when we can because they don't have the same limitations. The major one that you have to worry about with retrospective studies is things that are different between the groups that you're comparing that you're unable to account for. If you want a flawless study, do a placebo control trial. Any retrospective study is going to have flaws in it. But in this study, they made a point to address many of the flaws that they found themselves.
If someone were critical of the study, I think issues that a researcher might raise would be things like the different lengths of follow-up for the groups between the children who received no vaccines and the children who receive vaccines. The authors actually did do a sensitivity analysis where they limited the analysis to children who had at least a certain amount of followup. When they limited the follow-up time for both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated to one year, it's still 2.75 times higher rate of chronic disease in the vaccinated. And when they limit it to 3 years, it's 3.38 times the rate of chronic disease in the vaccinated. And when they limit it to 5 years, it's four times greater. So no matter what they did to limit the follow-up time, the results of the study didn't change. The results indicate that the different follow-up period really did not have a substantial effect on the research question that they were probing. Another concern is that there are just big differences in how likely the children who received no vaccines were to seek health care compared to the children who received vaccines. So in other words, could the differences were finding in the study just be due to the fact that these kids were being seen less often and so they're getting fewer diagnosis?
To try and address this, they limited the population of children who didn't receive any vaccines to children who at least had some number of medical visits. And even in that sensitivity analysis, the main findings persisted. In this study, they adjusted for confounders. Confounders can be age, socioeconomic status, gender, racial, ethnic groups and used a technique called Cox proportional hazards, which means holding all other factors equal.
What's the relationship between the factor of interest and the outcome? Even after they were adjusted for, the effect of these characteristics was actually pretty small. I actually expected that those adjustments would have a really powerful effect, but they actually didn't. And when you do a lot of sensitivity analysis and what you're seeing doesn't change much, that can be reassuring. The authors did a good job with the information that they had. I have seen studies on vaccines published in good journals that are much weaker in quality. Is what you your study shows is it important? You Yeah, it is important. You know who you should send it to? went to what I told you a while ago because I'm just not going to do I'm not going to do it cuz I don't want to I don't want to end up like Diddy or I I don't want to suffer what Mala McCulla did. But you know I give him credit for taking it um you know standing up for it but um I'm just not going to I'm not going to do it. In any other climate, in a regular climate, you would have put this study out just as it is, right? If we weren't in this world of censorship, I put it out just how it is. You would? I put it out just how it is.
I'd like to I'd like to just finish out my work, you know, doing international work. Part of my reluctance to do anything is that nothing is going to come out of it other than me losing my job, which I'd rather not see happen.
I'm open to it. We're here because I fully respect you and I recognize the danger of I said to you. I said to you, if you do this study, I'm going to repeat it to you cuz I remember. I said, "If you do the study, you're going to come under fire." You said, "I don't care about that. I'm all about the data and I'm about to retire anyway." That's literally what you said.
Yeah. So, your energy is definitely changed on that. But energy is changing. Let me put it this way.
I put my whole career on the line because I saw an issue what I I saw an issue that is affecting the children of America and the world. We have a serious growing problem of autoimmune disease, chronic illness. I am not saying that vaccines are the only cause, but I am saying this program needs some serious work. We had much better health when we were getting 10 20 vaccines at 54 shots with 72 doses. It is clear we are not making our children healthier. They're going the wrong direction.
If there's a way to do this program better, which I believe, you know, I've never said I'm trying to eradicate vaccines from the planet, but we are at an autism rate now of what 1 in 26 28.
We have some serious issues. No, I I actually agree with that. Is there a different way we could be doing?
But how do we get there? If I finally What are the odds? I find someone like you that is has got the clout. If we can't if I can't get this study out, then what hope is there for every kid in the future? I can't do [ __ ] for them. Unless there's a change in leadership, nothing's going to happen. publishing one, you know, one study like uh uh like this like this one is not gonna it's not gonna um it's actually the right thing to do. I don't want to say it's not the right thing to do. It's the right thing to do, but the uh I just don't want to and I don't want to say have enough problems, but I I've got enough things like that that I'm already dealing with and I don't want another Hold on. Hold on. I just want to say this. This is the Galileo moment. I believe this changes more lives than anything there is. If we can fix this vaccine program, it doesn't just change millions of children's lives here in America. It changes worldwide. You'll be the father of the change in the system. That's historic. And I want to work with you to do that.
This is why we're here. Yeah. No, I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. We have an ability to do something that no one ever dreamed possible. If it's not you, then who? For some reason, they always hammering has always comes towards me. ......
