I want to continue changing the world in every way possible. Sure, we have the legal side, but media is really, I think obviously because I'm a media person, it's the most important thing that we can do. And I said it time and time again, I was working at CBS on a medical talk show, the doctors. I was a bit of a Trojan horse in there. I wasn't always buying the system. In fact, most of the stories I was doing was challenging the medical establishment because I had a hunch based on the way I was raised that some of this was bull crap.

Well, I'm telling you, I'm not the only one that's out there. And sometimes it's like a mahalcha. We talk about the whistleblowers in pharma and the whistleblowers that are doctors. How many whistleblowers are there that are journalists that recognize that we are being paid to propagandize our nations? That is what is happening. Well, there are plenty out there, I know it, that want to stand up and rise up. They don't always do it. But that's why we want to not just celebrate the doctors that do it, but the journalists and the producers and the filmmakers that do all.

I had a brilliant gentleman in England on the show fairly recently named Mark Shorman, one of the top television producers in the UK. He was used to doing great investigative reporting for ITV and Sky News, but then he ran into the same problem I did at the doctors. God forbid you have a question about a vaccine program, especially one that doesn't appear to be testing things enough. Then what happens if you decide to use your connections and your ability to make good and good media, what happens when you decide to focus on the issue that no one wants you to talk

about? This was Mark Sharman just recently when we spoke with him. I know this is quite a big deal for you to come out from behind the camera where you've been an executive in the industry for so long, but I know you want to do it because you have been so disturbed by the coverage of many of your former colleagues, the organizations that you used to work for over the course of the pandemic. damn it was a warning to basically say do not question the official government line now to be fair to them they said you can have opposition voices on but you must presenters must intervene if there's any danger of harmful or misinformation it's created an environment which will be lead to the biggest assault on freedom of speech and democracy I've known in my

lifetime. I've never seen the broadcasters toe the line and rather than question the government they became cheerleaders for the government. We have lost the free press and it goes against every principle I've ever been taught and grown up with you know we were always taught to be fair and balanced and show both sides of a story and let the viewers decide and that has just completely gone out of the window. It is not what journalism is about. It never has been and it's a very, very dangerous precedent. Who are these people that are deciding what's information and what's misinformation?

You know, who are they to dismiss scientists, eminent scientists and doctors who question the official narrative and say it's misinformation? I mean, since when did science stop? Since when did people stop reviewing it and asking questions and debating it? and we're losing the ability to debate. It's one of my favorite interviews of the year with Mark Sharman. It's my honor and pleasure to be joined by him now. Mark, good to see you. Hello, Dale.

Good to be here again. I love your passion, your passion for the truth. Thank you. Well, I love yours as well. And, you know, we had a very deep conversation that we both believed the last time you were here, that we're watching the death of journalism as we speak. In America, we reference journalism as the fourth branch of government or the fourth of state without a free press that's able to challenge the government and challenge the institutions in our nations, then we will not be a free people. COVID really put that to the test.

And I think we watched, sadly, as our news agencies became clear propaganda machines for an untested product. you started doing interviews back then but you made a serious shift you've gotten involved so tell me what did you do after those interviews you know what did you decide to do well I mean first of all you know I'm not being brave because I'm retired so you know I can put my head above the parapet

without fear of losing my income but I decided that we had to make a film of our own because nobody else was really asking the questions. I got involved really, as I said before, because it was quite clear that the media were only telling one side of the story. And so that's how I first got involved. But I then met some of the vaccine injured.

And it's a bit like the video clip you shared with the doctor a few minutes ago. You know, he says, he says, how do we tell the world what we are seeing? And I think that's still the case. You know, how do we tell the world what we're seeing? And vaccine injured, are suffering really, first of all, from the injury themselves. And in some cases, you know, we're talking about fatalities or we're talking about limbs being lost. But a lot of the people that have just got constant pain and constant disability, which isn't actually always visible. If that wasn't bad enough, they're being ignored by the NHS over here by doctors,

and I think Dr. Mahatra has said, you know, they're turning a willful blind eye, probably to protect their own prestige. And I got more and more involved talking to the vaccine injured, and I then hooked up with a terrific young filmmaker, Phil, at Oracle Films and his partner, Liam. And it was an interesting marriage of sort of crotty old executive and a young team. But we came together and it's not television as I remember it. You know, it was virtually made on a kitchen table, but it looked very professional, I think. And we're hoping to get the message out there.

I mean, the film is built around the stories of six or seven vaccine injured with different levels of trouble. troubles deliberately so. So, you know, when you were making this, I mean, obviously, and we're about to break this out to the world because I think you've done a brilliant job with this documentary. But, you know, obviously you knew there was pressures on this conversation. But when I watched your documentary just the other day to prepare for this, I thought this is ready to go on television. You can even hear where your commercial breaks are set up.

You've done it totally professionally. And I watched it thinking this is 60 minutes. This is what we grew up watching. In fact, just a few short years ago, this documentary would have been exactly how they would have talked about the swine flu vaccine and the news that was reported then. Yet we live in a different time now. So when you finish this, what was the response? I mean, you're still a television executive. You know, I'm sure some of those places have changed, but you have sources, you have places you could go.

I know I'm asking you a rhetorical question because I went through this journey with Vaxx when I went to all of my producer spaces you know how do we get this out there what did they say to you? I think in general people I've talked to don't really believe you

that's the first problem but I mean I think the difficulty is that there's no debate there is no other side of the story now I really doesn't matter to me whether well it doesn't matter but if Dr. Mahalter and the like are wrong, actually that's not the point. They should be heard and the debate should be had.

And in my time in full-time broadcasting, we always looked at both sides of the story and left it to the viewer really to make the mind up. There was none of the preaching that now goes on. It's very difficult for me to see that. And we approach two or three companies, but an individual. was actually in one case somebody that had done a terrific expose of the Tami flu and the swine flu but in this case they think the vaccine works they're believing the science but you know as we all know this the science is not being questioned so in the film we it's based around six or seven of

the vaccine injured and they we tell their stories and you feel the frustrations for them You know, they just cannot get listened to and cannot get treatment. And of course, there is no particular end in sight for them, which makes it even worse. And they're trying all kinds of self-help to try and alleviate the pain and get back some form of normal life. But we go on to look at the medical profession, the regulators, the drug companies themselves, the trials, and how accurate were how we arrived at an efficacy of 95% when in truth it was nothing like that. Right. But we also look at how our government, the UK government, were influenced by behavioral

scientists, a type of process which has been described as unethical. And we look at the media. I think one of the most disappointing things for me is the BBC, you'll see in the film, actually say on air. They say, we do not debate with anti-vaxxers. It's not our editorial policy, whether they are right or wrong. Now, that's the BBC who, you know, like to think they've got this reputation for impartiality and fair and balanced report.

We asked them about that, what happened to fair and balance reporting, and they weren't prepared to comment. Wonderful. So it's really quite worrying. I mean, I just think, you know, as I'm sure you do, this. which is just the tip of a control iceberg. The BBC are partners in the Trusted News Initiative, which involves Microsoft and Facebook and Twitter and YouTube. And they're basically censoring any doctors, scientists, journalists,

and the public who tried to speak out. Worst of all, the self-help groups, almost the Good Samaritans, if you like, that have been set up, to help each other, because they can't get any advice from the medical profession. Even those groups have been silenced on Facebook. And here's the worst, which happened last week. The BBC actually boasted in public

that they'd had these groups shut down. They alerted their partners in big tech that some of the self-help groups were using carrots and other emojis, instead of the syringes. So again, it was shut down. And this is the BBC. They're not just blocking the other side of the story,

or not reporting the other side of the story. They're actually blocking events happening, which is a world I don't recognize, Del, and I'm sure you don't. It's a very dangerous thing when big tech and social media and traditional media are all playing the same tune, and they're blocking out any dissenting or questioning voices. Well, look, you've done the only thing a decent human being

and a great journalist and producer could do. You decided to tell that story. I know a lot of your own funding went into this, and you say you're not brave or you're not a hero. You are because of what we're about to do right now. The TV, mainstream media may not be airing this, or you may not get a filmic release, but we're gonna do everything we can right now

to help get this documentary out to everyone in the world. I love that it is so clean and tight and short and simple. It's not overly emotional. It is very clearly and brilliantly done, and I think we can shift even more hearts and minds than we have in the work that we're doing. So I wanna thank you for this effort. So without further ado, let me just take it to my audience here

and say, we're going to screen this document right now. The next 55 minutes, you're going to watch a completely, totally professionally made TV documentary that should have been on the BBC or Sky News or CNN or MSNBC, but it will not for the reasons that we know. But that is what we are here to do. That's what you're here to do. This is how we make a difference in the world. So not only do I want you to watch this, and remember, no one's going to get paid for this. Mark Sharman is going to make no money now because we're handing this to you for free. It is this important that the people are dedicating their lives and their careers to get the stories of the injured out there, to get the stories of Mahatra and the paper

that he's just written out there. As they said, this is a concerted effort to hit the world with both of these things, the paper that Mahatra has just done, and then this documentary, safe and effective, a second opinion. Think what we can do if great people keep handing us tools like this, all we have to do is know about them and use them.
