Many are questioning the safety of childhood vaccines, including COVID vaccines, due to potential side effects. The Midwestern Doctor suggests that some vaccines have minimal benefits but documented side effects, leading to increased infections and new side effects. This cycle has resulted in the creation of more vaccines, driving profits for pharmaceutical companies. COVID vaccines are criticized for their risks outweighing benefits. Doctor Pierre Kory, a COVID vaccine critic, now questions the safety of childhood vaccines after reading the Midwestern Doctor's analysis.

The discussion around vaccines is often oversimplified, leading to distrust in government recommendations. For instance, the hepatitis B vaccine is given to newborns, despite the disease primarily spreading through drug use and sexual contact. This raises questions about the necessity of immediate vaccination. While vaccines are generally beneficial, there should be room for individual choice and discussion. The COVID vaccine presents similar complexities, especially regarding its necessity for healthy children. It’s crucial to have open debates about vaccine safety and efficacy, rather than adhering strictly to consensus. Science evolves, and we should remain open-minded about potential links between vaccines and conditions like autism and schizophrenia, as we still lack definitive answers. Ultimately, it’s about following the science without preconceived notions.

Many unvaccinated people are parents who followed recommendations blindly. Less than 1% of the public is unvaccinated. The Amish community is largely unvaccinated, yet there are very few cases of autism, ADD, autoimmune diseases, and other chronic illnesses. The US government has studied the Amish for years but has not released any reports because it would reveal that not following vaccination guidelines leads to better health. This suggests that the CDC has been withholding data that shows their recommendations may harm the public.

Vaccine recommendations typically come from the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (an outside consulting committee at CDC) and VRBPAC (within FDA), which recommends vaccine licensure. These committees only adopted evidence-based medicine about twelve years ago. The speaker states that during their administration, they want safety studies prior to vaccine licensure and recommendation. They claim vaccines are exempt from pre-licensing safety testing, and the COVID vaccine was the only one tested in a full placebo trial. They assert that the other 76 shots children receive between birth and 18 have not been safety tested against a placebo, meaning the risk profile is not understood. The speaker intends to remedy this.

I believe in safe vaccines, robust science, and independent regulators. The problem with vaccines is that they have become profitable, leading to an increase in the number of vaccines given to children. In 1986, a law was passed that protects vaccine companies from being sued, removing their incentive to make vaccines safer. The four companies that make all 72 mandated vaccines have a history of wrongdoing. There is a body of science that supports my position, but I won't go into it here. The few studies that exist are flawed and written by industry and the CDC. The Institute of Medicine has criticized the CDC for not properly studying the link between autism and vaccines. Big tech companies like Facebook are censoring vaccine information. I am not anti-vaccine, but I advocate for safe vaccines.

The United States government has been the main source of misinformation during the pandemic, spreading false claims about COVID transmission, vaccine immunity, and mask effectiveness. The Cochrane review, the most authoritative evidence body in medicine, disproves these claims. The government ignored the review, as well as the fact that myocarditis is more common after vaccination than after infection. Pushing boosters for young healthy people without sufficient data led to the resignation of top vaccine experts at the FDA. Vaccine mandates did not increase vaccination rates, but instead created a group of never vaxxers. The CDC also manipulated research, selectively reporting data to support their desired outcomes. This dishonesty and weaponization of medical research is unforgivable.

RFK Junior's potential role as HHS secretary raises concerns about vaccine policies. There are fears he might attempt to disband the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and appoint anti-vaccine supporters to it. This committee advises the CDC on immunization practices and recommends vaccines for the childhood immunization schedule. If vaccines were reclassified to require joint decision-making between physicians and patients, it could undermine the current recommendations and influence state legislatures, particularly in conservative states, to eliminate mandatory immunization schedules.

Speaker 0 describes a study on the hepatitis B vaccine, stating it is loaded with mercury during the first thirty days of life and comparing infants who received it in that period to those who did not or who received it later. He claims that the relative risk of smoking a pack a day for twenty years leading to lung cancer is ten, with a figure of 11.35, and attributes this to Thimerosal. Speaker 1 asks if the claim is about Thimerosal, and Speaker 0 confirms, then recounts a story that motivated his involvement: a “secret meeting” held to avoid on-campus exposure to freedom of information requests. The meeting occurred at Simpson Wood, a remote Methodist retreat center on the Chattahoochee River in Norcross, Georgia. Over two days, 52 attendees included major vaccine companies, regulatory agencies (WHO, CDC, FDA, NIH, HHS), and leaders in academic vaccinology. Megan recorded the first day, and Speaker 0 says he obtained the transcripts in 2005, calling them horrific. He invites listeners to read them on the Children’s Health Events site to judge for themselves, arguing the transcripts reveal “panjarums of the American healthcare system” and that regulators claimed the science was bulletproof while suggesting vaccines cause autism. Speaker 1 notes that Speaker 0 has previously claimed the conference revealed that vaccines cause autism and that data should be buried, referencing a January 2011 Rolling Stone article and a Salon piece that later withdrew the article. He mentions an eighteen-month US Senate committee investigation that found allegations of CDC misconduct unsubstantiated and concluded there was no cover-up. Speaker 0 clarifies it was a two-year committee hearing led by Senator Burton at the Governmental Oversight Committee, and asserts that vaccines do cause autism, while encouraging listeners to research the science themselves rather than trust him or the organizations cited. Speaker 0 then attacks the credibility and funding of CDC, NIH, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, claiming they are “bought and paid for,” with statistics he cites: FDA is funded 45% by the pharmaceutical industry; the AAP allegedly gets 80% of its money from industry; and the CDC spends 4,900,000,000 of its 12,000,000,000 annual budget. Speaker 1 pushes back by noting that parents within these organizations vaccinate their own children against vaccines that include thimerosal, asking rhetorically whether they are willingly harming their children, and suggesting a broader government conspiracy. Speaker 0 then directs Speaker 1 to the movie Dopesick for further context, contrasting it with opioid prescriptions, and asserts that doctors treated patients and their own children with opioids because they believed FDA guidance. Overall, the dialogue centers on thimerosal in early vaccines, alleged hidden meetings and data suppression, controversial media coverage of vaccines-autism links, and critical claims about regulatory agency funding and conduct, culminating in comparisons to pharmaceutical and medical industry dynamics.

Florida will end all childhood vaccine mandates, announced by Governor DeSantis and Surgeon General Joseph Ladopo. Question: reaction, and would you recommend the same to your patients? Speaker 1: "I would definitely not have mandates for vaccinations. This is a decision that a physician and a patient should be making together. The parents love their kids more than anybody else. I could love that kid, so why not let the parents play an active role in this? There are some states now where you're seeing an increase in homeschooling because parents are running from the health care system. They can't get health care because doctors are unwilling to take the risk of taking care of children who don't want vaccinations because it might impact, the way their practices are run.

There has been a lack of transparency regarding the potential side effects of vaccines, with some downplaying these effects to encourage vaccination. Mandating vaccines was a significant mistake; vaccination should have been a personal choice. Vaccines do not prevent infection and can have severe side effects. The FDA's decision to withhold safety data until 2026 undermines public trust in health agencies and vaccination efforts. There is a call for cooperation in issuing subpoenas to obtain unredacted information, as the public deserves access to the data they fund. The cover-up of various issues, including the origin story, raises concerns about accountability and transparency in public health.

Centralized authority in medicine is a catastrophe. Work with a board-certified physician who listens to your needs and values; find a new one if they are dismissive. Vaccines are generally advisable, potentially in a staggered fashion, but some, like the COVID and hepatitis B vaccines, may not be necessary. Mandating healthcare is contrary to how it should be done; the physician-patient relationship should be the primary unit. Medicines are dangerous and have risks, including vaccines. The risk-reward should be carefully considered before taking them.

I'm preparing to shake up the Department of Health and Human Services by dismissing vaccine advisors with conflicts of interest. The medical industry has undue influence over regulators and government policy. We aim to remove conflicts of interest from committees and research partners or balance them with other stakeholders. The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is a clear target, and their meeting was recently postponed indefinitely. Medical professionals have urged me to preserve the meeting, emphasizing the importance of vaccines in responding to public health threats. Panels advising the FDA are also being targeted. I've vowed to reassess the childhood vaccination schedule and suggested that certain vaccines, like the COVID-19 vaccines, could be taken off the market. The CDC has already withdrawn its "wild to mild seasonal" campaign for the flu vaccination.

- The discussion opens with a critique of how public health authorities in the United States and much of the media discouraged experimentation with COVID-19 treatments, instead pushing vaccination and portraying other approaches as dangerous. The hosts ask why treatments were sidelined and treated as heretical to question. - Speaker 1 explains that the core idea was to stamp out “vaccine hesitation,” which he frames not as a purely scientific issue but as a form of heresy. He notes a broad literature on vaccine hesitancy and contrasts it with the perception of the vaccine as a liberating savior. He points to a Vatican €20 silver coin (2022) commemorating the COVID-19 vaccine, described by Vatican catalogs as “a boy prepares to receive the Eucharist,” which the speakers interpret as an overlay of religious iconography with vaccination imagery. They also reference Diego Rivera’s mural in Detroit, interpreted as depicting the vaccine as a Eucharist, and a South African church banner reading “even the blood of Christ cannot protect you, get vaccinated,” highlighting what they see as provocative uses of religious symbolism to promote vaccination. - They claim that the Biden administration’s COVID Vaccine Corps distributed billions of dollars to major sports leagues (NFL, MLB) and that many mainline churches reportedly received money to push vaccination, with many clergy not opposing the push. The implication is that monetary incentives influenced public figures and organizations to advocate for vaccines, contributing to a climate in which questioning orthodoxy was difficult. - The speakers discuss the social dynamics around vaccine “heresy,” using Aaron Rodgers’ experience with isolation and shaming in the NFL and Novak Djokovic’s experiences in Australia to illustrate how prominent individuals who questioned or fell outside the orthodoxy faced punitive pressure. They compare this to a Reformation-era conflict over doctrinal correctness and describe a psychology of stigmatizing dissent as a tool to enforce conformity. - They argue the imperative driving institutions was the belief that the vaccine was the central, non-negotiable public-health objective, seemingly above other medical considerations. The central question they raise is why vaccines became the sole priority, seemingly overriding a broader, more nuanced evaluation of medical options and individual risk. - The conversation shifts to epistemology and the nature of science. Speaker 1 suggests medicine often relies on orthodoxies and presuppositions, rather than purely empirical processes. He recounts a Kantian view that interpretation depends on preexisting categories, and he uses this to argue that medical decision-making can be constrained by established doctrines, which may obscure questions about optimization and safety. - They recount the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and discuss Sara Sotomayor’s dissent, which argued that liability exposure is a key incentive for safety and improvement in vaccine development. They argue that the current system creates minimal liability for manufacturers, reducing the incentive to optimize safety, and they use this to question how the system encourages continuous safety improvements. - The hosts recount the early-treatment movement led by Peter McCullough and others, including a Senate hearing organized by Ron Johnson in November 2020 to discuss early-treatment options with FDA-approved drugs like hydroxychloroquine. They criticize what they describe as aggressive pushback against such approaches, noting that McCullough faced professional sanctions and lawsuits despite presenting peer-reviewed literature. - They return to the concept of orthodoxy and dogma, arguing that the medical establishment often suppresses dissent, citing YouTube removing a McCullough interview and the broader pattern of silencing challenge to the vaccine narrative. They stress that the social and institutional systems prize conformity and punish those who deviate, creating a climate of distrust toward official health bodies. - The discussion broadens into metaphysical and philosophical territory, with references to the Grand Inquisitor from Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov. They propose that elites—whether religious, political, or scientific—tend to prefer “taking care” of people through control rather than preserving individual responsibility and free will. The Grand Inquisitor tale is used to illustrate a recurring human temptation: to replace personal liberty with a protected, paternalistic order. - They discuss messenger RNA (mRNA) technology as a central manifestation of Promethean or Luciferian intellect—humans attempting to “read and write in the language of God.” They describe the scientific arc from transcription and translation to mRNA vaccines, noting Francis Collins’s The Language of God and the idea of humans “coding life.” They caution that mRNA vaccines involve injecting genetic material and point to the symbolic and ritual power of vaccination as a form of modern sacrament. - The speakers emphasize that the mRNA approach represents both a profound scientific achievement and a source of deep concern. They discuss fertility signals and potential adverse effects, including myocarditis in young people, and cite the July 2021 NEJM case study as highlighting safety concerns for myocarditis in adolescent males. They reference the FDA deliberative-committee discussions, noting that some influential voices publicly questioned the risk-benefit calculus for young people, yet faced pressure or dismissal within the orthodox framework. - They describe post-hoc investigations and testimonies suggesting that adverse events (like myocarditis) might have been downplayed or obscured, and they assert that public trust in health institutions has eroded as a result. They mention ongoing debates about whether vaccine-induced changes might affect future generations, referencing studies about transcripts of mRNA in cancer cells and liver cells, and they stress the need for independent scrutiny by scientists not “entranced” by the vaccine program. - The dialogue returns to the broader human condition: a tension between curiosity and restraint, knowledge and humility. They return to Dostoevsky’s moral questions about free will, responsibility, and the limits of human knowledge, concluding that scientific hubris can lead to dangerous consequences when it overrides open inquiry and accountability. - In closing, while the guests reflect on past missteps and the need for integrity in medicine, they underscore the ongoing questions about how evidence is interpreted, how dissent is treated, and how society balances scientific progress with humility, transparency, and respect for individual judgment.

What's causing distrust in public health isn't the idea of public health itself, but the actions of its leaders. We need to address the conflicts of interest, like Dr. Offit taking millions from pharmaceutical companies while approving their products. It's also about holding people accountable when they make definitive statements about science, yet have approved products, like vaccines, that have later been recalled for causing harm. While measles is important, let's remember that before the vaccine, there were 300 deaths a year from measles. Today, we have a much bigger problem, with 38% of children having prediabetes. It is important that we focus on reorganizing the department to address issues like this, instead of being distracted.

People should not take medical advice from non-physicians and should be skeptical of all medical advice, doing their own research. Experts could form a technocratic class funded by Big Pharma, which influences information. The aim could be to turn humans into a cattle class controlled by corruption, rather than relying on inner connection or nature. Living in a democracy requires doing your own research and being skeptical of authority, as people in authority and the media lie. Critical thinking was shut down during COVID, with media complicity. The CDC no longer recommends vaccines for pregnant women, suggesting those who took them may have a case, but Big Pharma has immunity. The public paid for COVID research, media campaigns promoting vaccines, and will pay for lawsuits related to vaccine injuries, while an elite class evades justice. The solution is to reject the corrupt system and embrace a higher divine power.

On the COVID vaccine, there's a huge difference in risk between the elderly and children. The science doesn't support mandating it for healthy six-month-olds. For those over 65 or with risk factors, the vaccine was advisable. We should openly debate these issues.

Establishment Meltdown Over RFK, and Being a "Lion" Instead of a "Scavenger," with Ben Shapiro
Guests: Ben Shapiro
reSee.it Podcast Summary
A federal reserve seat hinges on eyebrow-raising questions about mortgage fraud and tenure ethics. Lisa Cook’s ascent is dissected by Megyn Kelly and Ben Shapiro as they outline allegations of mortgage fraud across three properties and note she has not denied the claims. Critics argue she benefited from DEI-driven promotions rather than unassailable credentials. The discussion traces how her Michigan State tenure packet allegedly shows limited macroeconomic scholarship, with contradictions between claimed work and publication history. The exchange frames a larger debate over qualifications, optics, and promotion politics. The conversation expands into Ben Shapiro’s framework in Lions and Scavengers, where a lion embodies constructive achievement and a scavenger embodies tearing down, with three archetypes—barbarians, looters, and lecturers. Greta Thunberg and other high‑profile figures are cited as examples of scavengers elevating other scavengers, while Lisa Cook is labeled a scavenger based on alleged manipulations of tenure and public commentary. The dialogue links this lens to everyday life, arguing that guilt, duty, and family values shape whether individuals become builders or destroyers, and that culture can reward the latter. The talk shifts to geopolitics, contrasting Russia, China, and India as leaders navigate their own paths. The discussants analyze a Putin‑Modi dynamic, noting India’s enduring ties with Russia, oil trade, and the potential for realignment that could complicate America’s strategy to box China in. They observe Modi’s nuanced stance, framing him as potentially more of a lion than a scavenger, while Putin is labeled a scavenger. The group considers tariffs, strategic partnerships, and the broader shift in the global order, stressing that realignment would reshape security and economic calculations. Health policy and public trust emerge as another major thread. The hosts discuss RFK Jr.’s appointment as HHS secretary and the controversy over vaccines and public health messaging, including critiques of the CDC and calls for accountability. They compare the handling of late‑pandemic science to conspiracy theories, arguing that evidence matters and that conspiracy theories require plausible, verifiable mechanisms. The dialogue also covers media literacy, the limits of expertise, and the responsibility to evaluate data critically, while acknowledging the risks of overcorrecting and dismissing legitimate scientific inquiry.

Joe Rogan Experience #2411 - Gavin de Becker
Guests: Gavin de Becker
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Gavin de Becker and Joe Rogan navigate a sprawling, provocative interview that blends criminology, history, and a fierce skepticism toward centralized power and public narratives. The conversation kicks off with a contrast between official histories and deeper, often overlooked episodes of covert activity, from Gladio-style operations in Europe to alleged CIA-linked assassinations and bombings. De Becker argues that oversight is perpetually weak and that powerful actors frequently exploit events to shift publics and destabilize rivals, urging listeners to scrutinize sources and rely on evidence rather than easy consensus. As the discussion widens, Rogan presses for how much of government action during crises—most notably the COVID-19 pandemic—was reactionary or malevolent, while De Becker emphasizes the role of incentives, misinformation, and institutional reflexes that preserve power, sometimes at great human cost. The dialogue then delves into vaccines and public health policy, with the guests challenging conventional safety narratives and highlighting the gaps and ambiguities in long-term vaccine safety data. They discuss historical and contemporary examples—from polio to autism links, and from mercury-based preservatives to adjuvants—arguing that many conclusions are framed to protect industry interests and political comfort. They critique the transparency of studies, the influence of pharmaceutical funding, and the perceived conflicts within advisory groups, urging parents to ask pointed questions and seek independent sources. Throughout, they acknowledge the harm caused by misinformation or cynicism, yet insist skepticism should aim to protect individuals rather than fuel nihilism, and they stress the importance of consent and shared decision-making in medical care. The guests also explore broader geopolitical and ethical questions, including population policy, foreign aid, and the incentives that drive both peace and conflict. They reference the Kissinger report as a historical example of population-centric strategies and critique modern narratives around global health and development. The conversation ends on a more personal note, with conversations about resilience, friendship, and the need to maintain civil discourse in a polarized media environment. They express hope that critical thinking and genuine dialogue can coexist with empathy, accountability, and a commitment to truth, even when the topics are uncomfortable or controversial. Ultimately, the episode invites listeners to examine their own assumptions, consult primary sources via QR links, and consider a more skeptical, yet hopeful, stance toward complex global events and public health policy.

Lisa Cook Investigation Grows, RFK vs. Senators, & Bari Weiss CBS News Rumblings, w/ Glenn Greenwald
Guests: Glenn Greenwald
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Breaking into a surge of legal drama, this episode centers on a grand jury in Atlanta examining whether Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by listing multiple residences as primary homes. The referral by Bill Py to the DOJ signals prosecutors’ seriousness, with investigators also examining Cook’s Ann Arbor and Cambridge properties as part of a widening probe. Possible charges include mortgage fraud and wire fraud, with FBI involvement across jurisdictions in Michigan and Georgia. The discussion questions whether disclosures Cook made during her 2022 vetting would shield her, and how Senate cross‑examination might handle the case given Cook’s narrow confirmation vote. On Capitol Hill, RFK Jr. faces a contentious grilling from senators, most notably Michael Bennet, over vaccine policy and the independence of advisory panels. Bennet presses Kennedy about the vaccine schedule and whether proposing changes would affect uptake, while Kennedy argues for data-driven review and independence from drug-company influence. The conversation expands to Kennedy’s critique of the health establishment, the role of Susan Manarez, and a broader call to rethink how vaccines and scientific authority are framed in policy debates. Glenn adds that the exchange reflects deeper distrust of established institutions. Conversations extend to the Epstein case, including a tense moment at a recent House/Justice-aligned press event where journalist Michael Tracy was ejected for asking about Virginia Roberts, and where questions about why files remain unreleased dominate the dialogue. Glenn argues that press access should be open to inquiry and that releasing files would help the public decide. The exchange leads to wider commentary on how the media has covered Epstein and how corporate ownership, including Barry Weiss’s potential CBS role, could shape journalistic independence. The discussion shifts to Barry Weiss’s reported bid for CBS News and the broader debate about independent media versus corporate platforms. Glenn cautions that CBS’s internal culture and history may limit Weiss’s impact, while acknowledging the appeal of founders building new, freer outlets. The episode closes with a contrast between a culture of independence and the pull of legacy institutions, as the hosts discuss a provocative op-ed about marriage on a separate track, illustrating how cultural commentary intertwines with political and media analysis.
