For years, I claimed that none of the 72 vaccines mandated for children underwent proper safety testing in placebo-controlled trials. When I confronted Fauci about this, he couldn't provide the study he claimed existed. After suing him, we received confirmation that no such study was ever conducted. The lack of liability and safety testing saves pharmaceutical companies significant costs, leading to a rush to add unnecessary vaccines to the schedule. This has resulted in a dramatic increase in chronic diseases among American children since 1989, including a rise in neurological disorders and autism, which has skyrocketed from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 34 today.

Speaker describes a Henry Ford Medical Center study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children (2000–2016). Dr. Marcus Servis agreed to conduct it, recruiting a chief epidemiologist and two statisticians. Using medical records, the study followed about sixteen thousand vaccinated and two thousand unvaccinated children and aimed to show the CDC vaccine schedule is safe to reduce vaccine hesitancy. Findings showed higher rates in the vaccinated group for several conditions: four point two nine times asthma, three point zero three times atopic disease, five point nine six times autoimmune disease, and five point five three times neurodevelopmental disorders. ADHD: two hundred sixty cases in the vaccinated group, none in the unvaccinated. After ten years, seventeen percent of the unvaccinated had a chronic health issue versus fifty seven percent of the vaccinated. The study’s publication was blocked because its findings did not fit the belief and policy that vaccines are safe.

It is claimed that ethical concerns prevent double-blind placebo trials for childhood vaccines already on the schedule that never underwent safety testing. The first step should be honesty about the clinical trial data underlying childhood vaccines. One proposed method involves comparing health outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated individuals using existing datasets. If unvaccinated children are equally or less healthy than vaccinated children, this should be published to reassure parents. However, if vaccinated children are less healthy, the claim that these products cannot harm anyone should be reconsidered. It is asserted that comparative studies between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals have been conducted, but not published because they allegedly show that the unvaccinated are healthier. Publishing a study showing vaccinated individuals are healthier would have discredited Robert Kennedy Jr., but the fact that it wasn't published suggests a problem.

A recent study involving 99 million COVID vaccine recipients found increased risks of neurological and heart disorders, described as rare but significant. For example, the risk of brain swelling increased by 378%, myocarditis by 610%, and Guillain Barre syndrome by 286%. The cumulative risk of these adverse events raises questions about the overall safety of vaccines, especially considering the CDC's childhood vaccination schedule, which includes 72 doses without long-term safety trials. Each vaccine has a list of potential side effects, many serious, yet they are often labeled as rare. Historical data shows a rise in chronic illnesses among vaccinated children, suggesting a troubling trend. The notion that vaccine injuries are non-existent is misleading, as many children are experiencing adverse effects. It’s crucial to recognize and evaluate these risks comprehensively.

Speaker 0 argues that to determine whether smoking causes lung cancer, you must compare smokers to non-smokers. They recount a sequence of flawed study designs that would falsely conclude no link: comparing two smokers with different consumption levels and finding the same cancer rates; comparing different cigarette brands among smokers and again finding no difference; comparing people in different towns who all smoke and finding no difference. The point is that all these comparisons fail because they do not include a non-smoker control group; thus they cannot establish causation. They then contrast this with vaccine studies, asserting that studies claiming vaccines don’t cause chronic diseases or autism do not compare vaccinated to unvaccinated children. Instead, such studies compare vaccinated children to other vaccinated children, with variations in vaccines received (e.g., MMR, DTaP, multiple vaccines in one visit) and with differing aluminum exposures (e.g., four milligrams vs two milligrams). They emphasize that these studies never examine the actual outcome of interest by comparing vaccinated against unvaccinated children. The speaker maintains that this flaw in vaccine studies mirrors the earlier tobacco example. The essential argument is that the only way to determine causation is to compare the exposure group (vaccinated children) to an appropriate control group (unvaccinated children). They reference the Henry Ford trial as an example of an unvaccinated-versus-vaccinated comparison, but note that no one has published or accessible data from it. They call for someone brave enough to conduct and publish a vaccinated-versus-unvaccinated study to settle the issue. Finally, they challenge proponents of vaccination to conduct such a study to prove their position, insisting that if vaccines are truly safe and non-causal for chronic diseases or autism, the study should be done and the data published to demonstrate that the claim is correct. The overall message is a insistence on direct, unambiguous vaccinated-versus-unvaccinated comparisons to establish causality, highlighting perceived gaps in current vaccine research and urging transparent data publication.

The transcript centers on a new vaxxed versus unvaxxed study promoted by Del Bigtree in his film An Inconvenience Study, which follows an exchange with Dr. Marcus Zervos, head of infectious disease at Henry Ford Health in Detroit. Zervos agreed in 2016 to undertake a public health comparison of health outcomes in vaccinated and unvaccinated children and published results regardless of the outcome. The film also cites prior evidence challenging vaccine safety, including Dr. Peter Abi (Abi) who, after promoting the DTP vaccine in Guinea Bissau, found that the vaccine protected against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis but was associated with more than a twofold increase in overall mortality; he notes that no routine vaccine was tested for overall mortality in randomized trials before introduction, and asserts that vaccines’ effects on overall mortality are not well understood. The discussion quotes a summary from Guinea Bissau stating that only half the children were vaccinated, enabling a perfect comparative study. The vaccination program, introduced in the late seventies after smallpox eradication successes, reportedly showed that the DTP vaccine was associated with two point three times higher mortality, with the twofold higher mortality linked to whooping cough protection not translating to overall mortality benefits. The film also highlights Dr. Paul Thomas, whose practice data on 3,324 children suggested unvaccinated kids had better health outcomes and fewer doctor visits; it lists numerous conditions with higher incidence in vaccinated children (fever, ear pain and infections, conjunctivitis, eye disorders, asthma, hay fever, sinus issues, breathing problems, anemia, eczema, hives, dermatitis, behavioral issues, gastroenteritis, weight/eating disorders, and ADHD with zero cases in the unvaccinated group). The Oregon Medical Board suspended Thomas’s license soon after publication, and the study was later retracted. The segment presents Thomas’s claims as the basis for ongoing concerns about vaccine safety, and the film frames these suspensions as part of a broader pattern of data being dismissed when results are unfavorable to vaccines. The film recounts how Bigtree recruited Dr. Zervos to conduct a large-scale study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children, using Henry Ford Health’s large database. Zervos completed the study in 2020 but chose not to publish, later telling Bigtree in an undercover recording that publishing results showing harm could effectively end his career. The revealed data included nearly two thousand unvaccinated children; among them, zero cases of ADHD, diabetes, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, tics, or other psychological disorders. The study’s conclusion allegedly states 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. The film presents a table with 18,468 subjects, including 1,957 fully unvaccinated individuals. When comparing vaccinated versus unvaccinated groups, the vaccinated were over four times more likely to have an asthma diagnosis (4.29x adjusted), about three times the risk for atopic diseases, nearly six times the risk for autoimmune disease, and a five-and-a-half times risk for neurodevelopmental disorders. It notes almost six times higher risk for autoimmune diseases such as thrombocytopenic purpura, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, and Guillain–Barré syndrome, and reports sixfold increases in autoimmunity and five and a half times neurodevelopmental issues, along with higher rates of acute and chronic ear infections. Some conditions could not be analyzed because none appeared in the unvaccinated group (zero cases), and the analysis could not be performed with zeros in a group. A highlighted conclusion states that exposure to vaccination is independently associated with an overall 2.5-fold increase in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition compared to unvaccinated children. A graph reportedly mirrors national data showing 54% of American children with at least one chronic condition; vaccinated children have a 57% chance of developing a chronic disease in the first ten years of life, while unvaccinated children have a 17% chance. Time-to-event analysis reports that, at ten years, the likelihood of being free from a chronic illness is 43% in the vaccinated group versus 83% in the unvaccinated group. The broadcast directs viewers to watch the film at aninconvenientstudy.com or via Vigilant Fox, and notes a downloadable version. It references a press conference in which Donald Trump and RFK Jr. discussed vaccines, Tylenol during pregnancy linked to autism, and argues for more vaccine scrutiny by the administration. The program ends by promoting health resources and offers for Energetic Health Institute programs and related services with discount codes.

None of the 72 vaccines for children have been tested against a placebo. The speaker sued HHS in 2016 to find placebo studies for vaccines, but none were found. The safety testing for the polio vaccine was only 48 hours, while the hepatitis b vaccines were tested for 4-5 days. This means that any adverse events occurring after that time period were not considered. Without placebo testing, the risk profile of current vaccines is unknown, and it cannot be determined if vaccines cause more harm than good. The speaker questions the ethics of mandating medical products with unknown risks for children.

The documentary follows a growing concern: the rise of chronic illness and neurodevelopmental disorders in American children, with speakers outlining striking statistics, personal stories, and contested science around vaccines. Key facts and patterns: - A shift from decades ago to today: more than forty percent of American children now have at least one chronic health condition; estimates cited include that over fifty-four percent of kids have a chronic disease, up from twelve point eight percent in the 1980s. One speaker emphasizes that in forty years there has been “the greatest decline in human health ever recorded.” - Autism rates have surged: just a few decades ago, one in ten thousand children had autism; today, one in thirty-one. Other listed conditions include ADD/ADHD, tics/Tourette’s, narcolepsy, sleep disorders, IBS, autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile diabetes, lupus, Crohn’s), eczema, asthma, seizures, and various neurological issues. - The central question raised: what is causing this epidemic of chronic illness in kids? The film argues that rapid increases in incidence cannot be explained by genetic change alone, which would take generations. Story and study arc: - The narrative centers on a scientist who was willing to conduct a study into vaccine safety and vaccine injury, but who faced career-risking consequences when attempting to publish or disseminate results. - The film’s narrator and investigators say they compiled hidden-camera testimonies, interviews, and raw stories from parents whose children experienced serious adverse events after vaccines (eczema, seizures, chronic GI issues, sleep apnea, language loss, autonomic and neurological symptoms, and death in some cases). Stories include a child who lost language after vaccination, triplets who regressed into severe autism after their pneumococcal shot, and families describing chronic, ongoing medical crises following vaccines. - The film frames a broader debate: vaccines are safe and effective, with extensive global use and long-standing public health endorsement. Yet it argues that the vaccine safety narrative lacks certain types of trials, particularly double-blind placebo-controlled trials for childhood vaccines. It claims that, in some cases, no such trials exist prior to licensure, and that post-licensure safety surveillance is limited or incomplete. Vaccine safety testing and regulatory claims: - The film argues that none of the 72 vaccine doses on the childhood schedule has ever been subjected to a pre-licensure double-blind placebo-controlled trial, which is presented as the gold standard of safety testing. It asserts that safety assessments and post-licensure surveillance often rely on observational data rather than randomized trials. - A critical example is the hepatitis B vaccine (Recombivax HB): the FDA-approved trial cited shows safety monitoring for only five days after each dose, with no placebo control. The film argues this is insufficient to detect autoimmune or neurodevelopmental issues that could emerge years later. - Dr. Stanley Plotkin, a leading vaccine expert, is interviewed regarding whether five days of safety monitoring captures potential autoimmune or neurological adverse events; the dialogue suggests concern about the adequacy of such safety windows and controls. - The documentary presents the notion that the absence of a placebo-controlled vaccine safety trial is used to argue safety, while retrospective studies and unblinded cohort analyses hints at potential signals that would merit more rigorous testing. Henry Ford Health System and the “vaccinated vs unvaccinated” study: - Dell and others pursue a vaccinated-versus-unvaccinated study using Henry Ford Health System data, with the aim of comparing health outcomes in vaccinated and unvaccinated children. They argue that this kind of retrospective cohort study can reveal safety signals when randomized trials are unavailable. - The study reportedly found that vaccination exposure was associated with higher risks of several chronic conditions, including asthma, atopic diseases, autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, Guillain-Barré syndrome), and neurodevelopmental disorders. They summarize that by ten years, 57% of vaccinated children had a chronic health condition versus 17% of unvaccinated children; overall, two to four times higher risks across several categories were reported, with notable differences in neurodevelopmental outcomes. - The study reportedly found zero chronic conditions in the unvaccinated group for several categories, though the vaccinated group showed higher incidence in many categories. Autism did not reach statistical significance in this study due to small numbers. The presenters emphasize that retrospective studies have limitations (confounding, follow-up length, healthcare-seeking behavior), but argue that the signal deserves publication and replication. - The Henry Ford study reportedly faced professional and institutional barriers: a threat of defamation, failed attempts to publish, and internal resistance. The documentary showcases a dinner meeting where Dr. Marcus Zervos expresses willingness to publish but ultimately faces career risk, leading to discussions about “Galileo moments” and whether data should be released despite pushback. Industry and public health responses: - The film juxtaposes the public health consensus—vaccines save lives, the schedule is well tested, and billions of people have been studied—with dissenting voices from physicians, scientists, and parents who argue that independent, large-scale vaccinated-versus-unvaccinated analyses are necessary to truly assess safety outcomes. - It includes testimonials from doctors who faced professional pushback after expressing concerns about broader vaccine safety questions or demonstrating adverse effects in patient populations. - The documentary frames a call to replicate the retrospective study in other large health systems (e.g., Kaiser Permanente, Harvard Pilgrim, CDC’s VSD) to determine whether the Henry Ford findings hold across populations, and whether impaired health outcomes correlate with the breadth of vaccination exposure. Conclusion and call to action: - The film asserts that if the data are valid, this would constitute a sea-change in our understanding of off-target and nonspecific effects of vaccination and would necessitate reconsidering how the vaccination program is designed and implemented. - Viewers are urged to consider the evidence, demand replication, and reflect on the moral and ethical implications of vaccine safety research, balancing public health benefits with potential risks, and exploring alternate strategies to protect child health.

The speaker discusses the issue of unvaccinated individuals and the lack of studies conducted by the government. They argue that giving the vaccine to everyone absolves the government of understanding its effects. However, they found studies in plain sight that compared vaccinated and unvaccinated children. Over 100 such studies are featured in the book, with very few coming from the federal government. The FDA claims it is not their job to conduct these studies, but the problem lies in the funding of studies by those who stand to profit from the products. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) should be evaluating the risks associated with vaccines, especially when given together, but they have been negligent in doing so. The speaker suggests that vaccines should undergo placebo-controlled trials like other drugs.

Vaccines are neither safe, effective, necessary, nor harmless, and this has been a two-hundred-year indoctrination. No vaccine has ever been proven safe because true placebos aren't used, and subjects aren't followed long enough. Safety is determined by whether the vaccine causes immediate death. Long-term effects like asthma, allergies, eczema, ADD, ADHD, neurological problems, and autoimmune diseases are not monitored. The FDA arbitrarily decided in the early 1990s that side effects appearing more than 72 hours after vaccination are unrelated.

Dr. Andreas Sönnigsen appears on Klar TV to discuss the Masern (measles) vaccination and the recent ARD/Tagesschau coverage. He presents his professional background: born and raised in Germany, studied medicine in the USA and Munich, practiced as a general internist from 1997 to 2012, and held professorships at Paracelsus University Salzburg, University of Witten/Herdecke, and Medical University of Vienna. He received the David Sackett Award for evidence-based medicine in 2013 and led the German Network for Evidence-Based Medicine from 2019 to 2021. He has authored works on scientific competence in medicine and on the Corona crisis, and has published over 100 international papers. He has long criticized conflicts of interest that he believes lead to an overly positive portrayal of medical interventions, a critique he says intensified during the Corona era, costing him his Vienna professorship and his chair at the German Network for Evidence-Based Medicine. He remains active post-Corona, including critical views on the measles vaccination mandate, including a talk at a press symposium on the Masernschutzgesetz. His conclusion on the question “does vaccination harm?” is that the benefit–risk ratio from the perspective of an individual child is definitively negative. In the Panorama segment from February 26, 2026, Sönnigsen is asked how he became part of a balanced-for-and-against discussion about the measles vaccination mandate. He explains he was contacted by a Norddeutscher Rundfunk journalist seeking balance and agreed to participate to stimulate discourse. He clarifies he is not an anti-vaxxer but a proponent of evidence-based medicine and argues that each vaccination, including the measles vaccine, should be evaluated for pros and cons, study quality, the epidemic situation, justification, effectiveness, and side effects, and that this discourse must be conducted. Sönnigsen contends that the show was not balanced. He discusses the dangers of measles, acknowledging it is not harmless, but argues that in the US, where measles became a notifiable disease in 1912, mortality declined to near zero by the early 1960s, and that the later impact of vaccination showed no further drop in mortality, suggesting in his view that vaccination did not drive the reduction. He asserts that in Germany, comparing mortality from the 1950s/60s to today is inappropriate due to postwar differences in healthcare and hygiene. He claims current German annual measles case numbers are about 330 per year nationwide (over 80 million population), and argues that herd immunity is largely due to people who had natural measles, with about 50% of the population having natural immunity from those born before 1973. He asserts real vaccine effectiveness is 80–85% rather than the commonly cited 98%, citing observational studies and a Cochrane review, and argues the 98% figure is incorrect. He explains that seroconversion rates after vaccination are lower than after natural infection, and that the metric should be real vaccine effectiveness rather than seroconversion rates. Turning to vaccine safety, Sönnigsen counters Panorama’s claim that there are few and minor vaccine adverse events. He states approximately 100–150 severe vaccine adverse events are reported to the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut each year (2001–2012 analysis). He notes that about half of these have a possible or probable causal link to vaccination, and that there is underreporting by roughly a factor of 10–20. He references the Henry Ford study suggesting vaccinated children have a higher risk of chronic illness (about 60% with at least one chronic condition vs. 18% among unvaccinated), arguing vaccines’ adverse effects are not rare. He calculates that with about 1.2 million annual vaccinations and about 1,200 serious adverse events (assuming 5–10% causal and 10–20x underreporting), roughly one in every thousand children could be affected by a vaccine injury, a figure he uses to argue that the individual risk is high relative to the immediate benefit in a German epidemiological context where measles is rare in ordinary times. Sönnigsen insists the measles vaccine’s benefits for an average healthy child in Germany are negative in the current epidemiological situation, argues for a “relative contraindication” to vaccination, and emphasizes that parental autonomy should determine whether to vaccinate. He attributes the push for vaccination mandates to government coercion and argues that mandates could backfire, increasing resistance. He also contends that measles cannot be eradicated globally through a German vaccination mandate, given worldwide reservoirs and migration, and notes that the Masernimpfpflicht (measles mandate) comes from 2019 (Spahn’s Masernschutzgesetz) rather than being a universal solution. The interview closes with the assertion that people should form their own, balanced view, and that the state should not dominate medical decisions.

Keeping It Real

VACCINES: HONEST ANSWERS with Dr. Joel Warsh
Guests: Dr. Joel Gator Warsh
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The episode presents a wide‑ranging, data‑driven discussion about vaccines with Dr. Joel Warsh, a pediatrician and epidemiology trained clinician who authored a book aimed at balancing vaccine questions with evidence. The conversation centers on how vaccine safety is communicated, the medical community’s approach to risk, and why concerns persist among parents who notice rising autoimmune and allergic conditions, chronic illnesses, and debates over autism. Warsh stresses that vaccines are not anti‑vaccine; rather, the aim is open dialogue, rigorous safety review, and better public understanding of benefits versus harms. He notes that many questions get short shrift in public discourse, and he advocates transparency, nuance, and ongoing research rather than absolutist declarations about safety being “debunked.” The dialogue dives into core concepts of safety testing and trial design, explaining the difference between inert placebo controls and comparisons against other vaccines or existing vaccines. The guests discuss how safety signals are collected, the role of VAERS, and whether long‑term, large‑scale data can convincingly rule out rare adverse events. They debate the interpretation of data around autism, noting the scarcity of comprehensive, prospective studies across all vaccines beyond MMR and thimerosal and arguing that unanswered questions should prompt more research rather than definitive dismissals. A substantial portion is devoted to the ethical and societal questions of mandates, coercion, and herd immunity. The hosts explore how individual risk assessments intersect with the social contract to protect vulnerable populations, acknowledging that definitions of “safe” and “enough” vary widely. They discuss vaccine technologies—old versus new—and adjuvants, including aluminum and trace metals, as well as the development of mRNA vaccines, their testing history, and what “emergency use” really means. Throughout, the conversation emphasizes the importance of listening to skeptical voices, testing assumptions, and pursuing healthier, safer vaccines while avoiding vilification of dissenting views. The episode concludes with calls for more balanced media coverage and collaborative dialogue among scientists, clinicians, policymakers, and parents to restore trust and improve vaccine safety in practice.
