We've had just an amazing week. I've been traveling all over the place from Minnesota to Los Angeles to New York, discussing the release of an inconvenient study, our latest film, and it's been an incredible success. But for those of you that couldn't be in California for the Malibu Film Festival, we wanted to just give you just a taste of what it felt like. It was a room filled with some of the most beautiful people in the world, the vibe. was awesome. Take a look at this.

Look at this turnout. I love you guys. I think that this documentary is one of the most important things. I haven't done a red carpet in years and to be doing it here, Del. I will say that the premiere being here in the belly of the beast

is where it should be. Have a film like this, an inconvenience study, really questioning the safety of vaccines right here in the Director's Guild of America, in the center of Hollywood, where you were not allowed to ask this question. I think it shows that there's a transformation happening in the world right now. There are tons of folks that are on our side that are afraid. They're afraid to do this.

The dam is breaking, you know. Something's got to give, and it's happening. The fact that it's here at the Guild means more and more people are thinking for themselves. Making a movie and making a movement is there is no I and team, as evident by how many people there are here today on the Sunday morning at like 9.30. Many, many years is about anecdotal evidence. Many years it's been about us parents shouting from the rooftops saying, please, there's something going on, there's a connection.

And so to have a documentary like this show that the science was put into it. And just because you don't like the results does not mean you're allowed to squash it. It makes me very sad that this data has been sitting there for more than five years now without being made public. To bring it to people in this format, in our society right now, video is how people learn. And so a documentary is exactly the way to share this information with people. Yeah, I got goosebumps when I saw the trailer. saw the trailer. It's remarkable. The hidden camera footage is absolutely the best. I think Dell probably figured out that they were going to deny, deny, deny everything that they told

him. He was smart and he used a hidden camera to get everything on on camera. It's he said she said unless you have actual footage. I hate to say that I got really giddy when I saw the hidden camera because it's kind of what you know. needed to have happen though. What he said to me is it's a good study. Those are his words, not mine. I'm glad the cameras were rolling because it's a good study. I'm going to take his word for it. They said that the data wasn't valid. It's their own data. How is their own data not valid? Our medical literature is owned by Big Pharma as are our Congress. That's not the United States of America. Everybody in science and medicine should be jumping up and down for joy. And instead,

these guys are circling the wagons and saying, nothing to see here and that tells us heaps about the corruption and the moral depravity of science and medicine today. I feel like there's a spiritual shift right now where the veil has been drugs and that all you cannot hide anymore and we're seeing more and more people being faced with the truth. The world will learn what parents have been telling us for three decades. Finally people are going to start to wake up and realize what the truth is. This is probably the most important film that we can get out.

We need to get the truth out. My hopes are that this goes viral. I hope that the documentary will change minds because that's what it's all about. Our children are sick. We can't just keep hiding from it anymore. Well, it's certainly a star-studded red carpet with such an amazing experience. And though most of you will be watching this film on your television sets and computer screens, there's something about being in the largest theater at the Directors Guild,

the heart of Hollywood. There was an irony to it. There's a beauty to it. I agree with East Side Morales when he says it. I think it shows that there's a shift happening. We had an incredible panel afterwards having a deep discussion led by Jimmy Dorr. So why don't we take a look at some of those experiences? Today we're here and proud to present the world premiere

of an incomplete study. Like to bring the stage, no big tree. Thank you. I was really lucky to have been introduced to Dr. Marcus Soros, to have an infectious disease at Henry Ford Health.

I said, would you ever do a study comparing vaccinated to unvaccinated? And he said to me, I would do that study. I'm a scientist. I follow the science where it leads me. That study finally didn't get done by 2020. And just as I feared those results, I believe, are the reason this study is still unpublished.

That is what this film is about, and you have to decide how important it is and how many people in the world need to see it. Thank you very much. It's a good study. Every country in the world is affected by his vaccines. He started answering the question until he ran out of air. Would you still publish it? That was the question. To end all vaccine mandates in Florida.

don't hear me more. It was hard for me to watch. I had to close my eyes many times. And my wife was crying next to me and through the most of it. So I'd like to get everyone's reaction to the movie. This film is a masterpiece. This film will make that difference. I've watched this film, I don't know how many times.

And every time I teared up, sitting here watching it and hearing the reactions, gives me a lot of hope. We're going to make some real change. When you're in the clinic, you can help one child at a time. help one child at a time. Two things that have made a difference of film and COVID. Film, you're able to get a story out with integrity to millions of people at one time. This is just such an example when this film will move the barometer even further. We had done what we set out to do and this is something that, you know, we've been trying to accomplish for the last eight years on the high wire.

It's a culmination of that, so I couldn't be more proud. We have a personal connection, my wife and I. We have two boys who reacted adversely to vaccines. The existing system is so corrupt, so calcified, so broken, that you can't get good science out of the existing system. If you're not prepared to follow the rules of science and publish irrespective of what you find, then you are not a scientist. If anybody could talk about what kind of personal price they've had to pay for standing up and telling the truth about this unbelievably propagandized issue. Right here is the guy I think that should do the talk.

And I'll be honest, I don't feel like I have made a sacrifice at all. The work that we've done and I can. I get to go out and tell the truth that people are listening. These children did not have an informed choice. And so they've lost their voice and we have to stand for them. It's as simple as that. For anyone out there, be brave, be courageous. You might close one.

door on your career, but you would open up yourself to so many incredible opportunities to be a better human. That's what we all need to do. Find common ground. This movie can only change the lives of those that see it. You are the distribution company right now. We need you to share this with everyone you know. Let's show the world how powerful the people really are. It's we the people. That's what media represents and that is our only hope right now. incredibly blown away. I was moved. I hate to say this to tears. It's so well done and such an important message. When it started, I was like, I left my tissues at home because I knew I'd be crying the whole time and I was ugly crying in the seat. I mean, it was like pouring down my face.

I think they did a good job of also taking people from maybe someone who hasn't spent much time on this issue, explaining kind of the issues with a lot of the randomized control trials and then bringing it to that study. This is the stuff that's important. This is the stuff that changes hearts and minds. Real stories built on real facts. It's all right there. So there's nothing to argue against if you just sit down

and watch the movie. It's very Italian. He's wearing a wire. I loved that dramatic effect, too, of him getting ready and walking in there. I mean, he's a hero, man. Dell's a fucking hero. We've been gaslit so much.

And like, Delic say these things and people are like, oh, it's misinformation. Oh, yeah, well, I came with receipts. I think that if people are brave enough to see it and watch it, they'll be able to take away an awful lot. An inconvenient study, it's tremendous. Nothing can stop this film. Nothing. We were honored this year to have a film that is so important and so painful to watch. I'm confident that it'll change your mind a lot of subjects. The festival, an inconvenient study. You stand with heroes that have put their names on this film.

Most importantly, this award goes out to all of those injured children and people. Millions and millions being destroyed by this vaccine program. It must end. This is a failure. This has been a destruction by science. And if you look into it, you will realize we've been lied to when the change is running the world was beautiful. Well, I mean, and, you know, moments after we screened in the theater, of course, we made the film public, and it is being seen all over the world as we speak.

Thousands and thousands of people every hour are checking the website, sharing social media posts. Just on Sunday alone, that day that we released it, over 12.5 million interactions sharing, downloading, posting. It was absolutely phenomenal. We want that to keep going. But one of my favorite things about this film and the way we've approached it. I mean, it's clear we received a cease and desist letter from Henry Ford Health that have made claims. Some of those are being shared right now online. We've been very transparent about the fact in letting their voice be heard so that it's known what they think of the issues they want out there, of course. Their main gist of their opinion is that, you know, the film intimates that this film was not, I mean, this study was not

released because of the results of the finding. Of course, that's exactly, you know, what we hear when I'm interviewing Zervos or having the dinner with him where he says it's a good study. I would publish this study as it is. The only reason I'm not is I would lose my career. I'd be finished. I've said it over and over again. Those are his words. They're not mine. We let the film speak for itself, which is one of the things that people were coming out saying, I love that It just, it didn't feel like it was hitting me over the head. It was just all the facts and things that are out there, how they've been laid out for us to look at, and then we make up our own mind.

And because of that, there's a huge online debate that's going right now. This film and the discussion around this study is being hit from all sides. And unlike those that don't want to publish things or don't want to have a challenge, I believe that's the scientific method. In fact, I think what an inconvenience study is doing right now, is it is rebooting the scientific method. I love that there's scientists that are attacking this study and attacking this film and laying out their points. Let me just go ahead and celebrate one of those posts.

This is Professor Jeffrey Morris. I've written a news article. He lays out the three biggest points he thinks they are. And I'll read them to you. Surveillance bias. Most children, especially the unvaccinated, weren't followed long enough to read the ages when chronic diseases are usually diagnosed. detection bias. Vaccinated children had far more interactions with the Henry Ford Health System, giving them more chances to have conditions diagnosed and recorded, unadjusted confounders,

key factors like urban versus rural settings, socioeconomic status, insurance, and environmental exposure, such as air, water pollution in Detroit during the study years, weren't accounted for. These influenced both vaccination likelihood and disease risk, as well as how often families use Henry Ford Clinic, shaping what shows up in the records. Look, film addresses made those points because the study addressed many of those points. They ran sensitivity analysis. I'm not going to get deep into it. We worked hard to make that clear in the film.

If you need to understand it, watch the film. But also scientists on the other side then reacted to that post. Say, well, hold on a second. You're leaving out the most important part of this study. This is jikki leaks. I'm going to explain why this chart is so important. Why is being disingenuous by ignoring it whilst making points that under mind the real world vaccine data industry.

It's a Kaplan Meyer curve and it obliterates Jeffrey's argument. He discusses why was this left out of Jeffrey's argument? He goes on to explain that that's a huge showing of course. When we're looking at that, that's the chart when they ran a 10 year. Over 10 years, what it shows is these children that were vaccinated, the way they do is kind of upside down from what you would think. But if you were unvaccinated, you had an 83% chance of remaining healthy and not having a chronic illness.

But if you were vaccinated, you only had a 43% chance of not having a chronic disease. Let me flip that so you can make it make sense. That means 57% of those vaccinated by 10 years in would have at least one chronic disease where only 17% of the unvaccinated were at risk of having a chronic disease. Those are astronomical gaps. And what Jickey Leaks points out in that graph is that when you see that big a difference, sure, there may be some issues in the study. But what is that big? that really tends to overcome many of the issues you have. And it goes on to point out in cancer research, which is what they point out here.

Look how close these are together when they consider it a great cancer drug. He even brings up Patrick Sonshoun's miracle cancer drug that everyone's talking about. This is how wide apart those were. They're pretty close. I mean, a slight advantage. And all of a sudden it's like, wow, we've got a miracle here. But boy, you have a massive advantage. and they want to poke holes in the study.

And I think this is important, right? This is debate. This is how science works. We should all be asking the question, why was this study unpublished? Is it because the data isn't good? Steve Kirst makes a really good point. It's your data.

So are you complaining that your data is not good? Good question. I don't know. You know, was it the fact that the study is no good? So is Dr. Zervos, does he not know what he's doing and all this? So we question every study he's done? Good question.

I don't know. This is up for debate. This is what it's about. But I thought a Midwestern doctor, one of the posts, really nailed home the best reason we should be taking a serious look at this study. And he writes this, since placebo, I'm assuming it's a he, Midwestern doctor, could be a she. But since placebo trials on vaccines are never done for ethical reasons by the rules of evidence-based medicine, the retrospective studies we have are the best available. evidence and their conclusions about vaccine harm cannot be dismissed unless better placebo-controlled trials are conducted to corroborate or refute them. In short, anytime someone critiques a

retrospective study comparing vaccinated to unvaccinated as invalid, it's critical to remember those studies are the gold standard because better ones will never be done. That's really the point that the film makes. It points out that every version so far of a vaccinated versus unvaccinated study. Whenever that's done so far around the world, it is showing the same signal. This reproducible science is happening. And every time that study's done, the vaccinated or sicker. That, I believe, is the bullhorn we should all be standing on.

What I want this film to do is we call every senator, every congressman we know, everyone we know in science, every friend we have. Why is it if vaccines make us healthier? and that's the entire point of this entire program, why can't you show us a single study comparing those that get them to those that don't and show us that those are getting more healthier? That should be the easiest study in the world,

and that I want to be the talking point that we all bring to the world. We want more of these studies done. We want bigger ones done. We want to see all the different databases. Does where you live, as pointed out, as one of the detractors, actually matter? Let's see.

Let's not just poke holes because every study there is showing the same thing. We're beyond that now. You have a problem. Houston, we have a real problem, as I say, in the film. I thought I had a great opportunity yesterday to sit down with Dr. Drew on his show. And, you know, he's a scientist.

He has done, he talks about studies, knows how to read studies. It was interesting because I had hoped he'd get a chance to see the film. But as he said, right before we were going on, I had janky internet on the plane when I was playing on watching the film. So I only got to really look at the study and study the studies.

So he brought his perspective. Look what he had to say about the study himself. I think we've jumped started the scientific method again, which has been dead. We need to be challenging each other on all these topics. Yes. Absolutely. God, that is so true. And the discourse.

I mean, it should be just constant. That is the scientific process. I read the paper. And by the way, I've Henry Ford Health. I only know them to be high quality. I'm not saying anything negative about them at all. But I did read the study. I was really trying to be critical of the study as best I could.

It was a great preliminary study with a massively positive result that would, if it were published, if you were the publishing, if I was the author of that paper, I would be at the end of it saying, yes, there are weaknesses in the data collection. There's a lot of diversity of the different populations in here. but this is a strongly positive result that warrants further study, which is exactly what the research is supposed to do. It's supposed to raise a signal, much like the Tylenol signal came out from the Harvard study,

and you discuss it, and then you go after it, and maybe it's disproven or maybe it's proven. I don't know, but there's the signal, but I was still surprised at how strong the study was, both in terms of its simplicity, which is always a good study. It's always the simpler, the better. And it asked a simple question.

This is what science should do. You should ask a simple question. After kids have children, all children, are they healthier after vaccine or less healthy? That's it. Simple question. And then a statistical analysis afterwards. That's it. And it came out very positive.

The null hypothesis was highly informative. We better do more study, seems to me. I even corrected him after getting them speaking for most of us watching. A very positive study, a very positive study. positive outcome. What he means is it really showed a major difference, you know, even though it was negative, I said for the vaccinated. If the search and the question in this study is, is it making it healthier? We saw a dramatic difference. And therefore, it's a strong signal, at least what's written in this unpublished study. And more should be done. And it does seem to be lining up

with those others that have been done. I mean, that's the newsflash. I want to thank all of you that have been out there. I mean, I can see it. We see it blowing up on social media, but especially as those, you know, influencers that, you know, you wouldn't necessarily expect. I want to give a shout out to Vigilant Fox. If you're not following Vigilant Fox, always on top of many of these issues, whether it's about Maha or the work that we're doing. Huge following. You should be following them. Chief Nerd shared it. You know, also should be following Chief Nerd. Then we've got, what do we got, Sernovich? Michael Sernovich. This guy is just your truth teller in every way and really help get this out. Shout out. And then on

Instagram, Tyler Hudson Music, I love the videos. He's been having a lot of fun with this. So if you want to have some fun, make sure you that you're following him. The homeschool, how to podcast, great posts, really been effective helping us get the word out there. Of course, Mahama's. And I want to thank Dr. Drew. And I'm going to be doing more interviews with a lot of different interview, um, influencers and stuff. And I, and look, I can't say everybody, but this is a movement. And it really is of form by the people. We need you to share this everywhere you can. In some ways, I'm, I'm going to keep, you know, saying you really need to now pick 10 people. I mean, if we got millions of people watching it right now, how do we get it into that other bubble, right?

I know we're all seeing it. If this is a question or something you look at online, but who is that friend, who is that loved one that if they got into it and they saw it and, And they shared it to their group, how do we now expand? How do we use this as a tool to really expand this movement of truth so that everyone in the world understands what we're talking about? I hope you'll take on that mission this week and share this with the less likely people because look how people are responding. I mean, we were getting calls from people. Friends are saying, I showed this to a friend that's never looked at this. I just heard today someone that's having a baby that's been pro vaccine, saw the film when they're saying, I'm really questioning this.

It's an effective, powerful tool. I want to thank my incredible team that have, you know, really deserve this award. This film was made very quickly. I'll tell you this just as an insider. The only reason we were able to make a film of this quality this quickly is because we aren't technically filmmakers. You have to know how to make TV. You have to be putting out a weekly show as powerful and dynamic with as many bells and whistles as we do every single week to actually know how to make a film

that works like this just under 90 minutes in just a couple of months. It's a tour to force by my team wouldn't have been able to do it without them.
