The Highwire with Del Bigtree - THE MOVIE THAT INSPIRED A MOVEMENT

Episode Date: March 18, 2022

How is it that The HighWire’s reporting on Covid has been so far ahead? How did we know so much about the public health players, and the games they would play with lockdowns and vaccines? Because, they’ve done it all before. The HighWire presents “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe,” the movie that exposes one of the biggest public health scandals of all time. They say ‘vaccines don’t cause autism,’ but they never told you this.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are out there in the world, it's time to step out onto the high wire. You know, it's starting to feel like I've been walking on this high wire for a very long time. And some of you have been here with me since the beginning, but others are brand new to this experience of death-defying truth without a safety net. We're not like any other news agency in the world, but we didn't start out like this. And today, I really want to go back to our roots because there's so many of you that are brand new to this conversation. The Highwire was reaching hundreds of thousands of viewers every week prior to COVID. But during COVID, so many of you got enrolled into the truth and realizing what it sounds like to actually hear the truth and where you find evidence and what other network was providing you with the evidence as we do with the High Wire Protocol, sending you all of the information that appears in our show. every single week simply just by being a part of our newsletter.

So thank you all for your support. But today I want to take you back to the original conversation that got me in the middle of this. We are going to be screening the documentary that I think changed the conversation around vaccines and safety around the world. It certainly changed my life forever. Of course, I'm talking about vaxed from cover up to catastrophe. I was working at CBS on the medical talk show, the doctor. when I was tipped off to a story of a whistleblower inside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I decided through a series of outrageous circumstances to team up with Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who is the iconic figure out of England that first connected the MMR vaccine and its potential to autism. He was directing the film, and we worked on making it everything that it could be. So for those of you that think this is just a conversation about COVID, and have been wondering how is it that, you know, the high wire is so accurate and so good at predicting where things are going. I want to say that the reason for that is the amount of work that went into making Vaxed. That was a deep dive where I got to speak with scientists and doctors in a way I never had before, but to meet so many parents that were suffering vaccine injury with their children or themselves

and to recognize how this whole cover up had taken place. This is such an important time because as we move forward, and it seems that COVID might be in our rearview mirror, there are still a slew of childhood vaccines out there that have never been properly tested that are going into your children. We have seen a rise in childhood illness that is off the Richter scale. Back when we were getting 10 vaccines in the 1980s, we had about 12.4% of our population of children had a chronic illness, either a neurological disorder or an autoimmune disease. Then we passed the 1986 vaccine injury compensation program, which is the government program that took all liability away.

The vaccine program exploded, and now our children are getting roughly 72 vaccines, 54 shots, 72 doses. In that giant rise in the amount of vaccinations our children receive, there's a coterminous event of the amount of autoimmune disease and neurological disorders. We went from that 12.4% in the 1980s to now 54% of America's children have a chronic, permanent, lifelong illness, either a neurological disorder or an autoimmune disease. This is the film that set me on course to investigate that and those investigations you've been watching here. So as Vaxed was making its way, we had just finished it up, and we had entered Tribeca Film Festival. We were accepted into the Tribeca Film Festival, which was really exciting for me as a filmmaker.

That's one of those dream moments, you know. There's Sundance, there's Tribeca, Cannes Film Festival, of course, the Academy Awards. Those were sort of those bucket list you hold dear as a filmmaker. We'd been accepted in Tribeca. But I knew. I knew how big this film was going to be. I did. There was something inside of me.

The reason I left my television job, you know, basically in flames, I knew making this film would destroy my ability to go back to the doctor's television show, they weren't going to be aligned with a perspective. But I was concerned. I, you know, I wanted to make sure the film screened. And so I actually called Tribeca Film Festival. I'd been trying to call for several weeks before they're going to announce. Now, at Tribeca, they announce, you know, groups of films. There's so many hundreds of films, I think, at Tribeca every single year. So they have these blocks. Like today we're going to announce the drama block and the comedy block and the blah, you know. And so every day there'd be a different announcement is the announcement of Bax was getting closer and closer.

I kept calling Tribeca and trying to get a hold of the head of PR. And they were like, who is this Del Beatty? I was like, I'm a filmmaker. And they would eventually just sort of say, yeah, well, we'll leave a message. Well, I finally did get through to someone at Tribeca that was in charge of PR. And they said, what is this? I said, well, look, I want to warn you that the film that you were about to announce coming up, I think it was in four days.

My film, Vaxed from cover up to catastrophe, is going to be so controversial. that I think you're going to come under incredible fire like you've never seen before. So I wanted to say that maybe there's another way you could do this. Why don't you just announce an anonymous or a mystery screening that you'll only know the name and what's about when you're sitting in the theater at Tribeca at the festival? And I remember she kind of laughed to herself. She said, nice try.

That's a great PR stunt, but we're not into stunts here. We make controversial documentaries all the time. We know what we're doing, so have a nice day. We'll be announcing your film in four days. Well, sure enough, they announced it, and the gates of hell opened up upon Tribeca. This is just a taste of what the news started saying about faxed. Well, it is a movie with a frightening message about vaccines.

Critics who say that the movie propagates quack theories and junk science. A controversial documentary linking vaccines and autism. De Niro's call to screen Vax to try Tribeca led to a huge backlash on social media. Robert De Niro has broken my heart, tweeted one woman. Critics say the film's content and those delivering it have been widely discredited and do not deserve a public forum, especially by a festival as respected as Tribeca. This film is not an anti-vaccine movie.

We want an independent testing body immediately looking at all vaccines. The film directed by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who published a 1998 study blaming vaccines for the rise in autism. That study since discredited. He's lost his medical license, and now he's putting out a movie that just raises the same issue. A film by somebody who we know is irresponsible, I think it's really dangerous. You're pregnant for nine months. You're going around taking aspirin, and they're taking your child and giving them over 60 vaccines before they're going to kindergarten. The more people know, the better decisions they can make.

I think Andrew Wakefield has perpetuated one of the biggest frauds in the world. I'm going to watch it. You need to watch it. I don't need to watch it. There is absolutely no research regarding the connection between autism and vaccinations. We're really infringing upon freedom of expression, freedom of speech. Protesters took to the streets outside of City Hall today. Protesters turned out in support of the documentary VACS.

Whatever your side of the story is, this is about censorship. I am concerned that it is going to just perpetuate. just perpetuate those myths and further lead to a situation where not as many people are getting vaccinated. This film is a minefield of controversy throughout the world. Well, it was definitely a fire storm. It was coming from all sides. And finally, as I had been concerned from the beginning, Robert De Niro seemed to cave in and so did Tribeca Film Festival under pressure. Just, you know, as that was all taking place, you know, I was prepared. to do an interview with ABC News about, you know, about, you know, how excited I was that Bax was in Tribeca.

And then I got a call from our distributors, Cinema Libre, who said, Dell, they've pulled the film from Tribeca. I really didn't think that was possible after Robert De Niro had come out and said publicly, I stand by this film. Many of you don't know. I have a child with autism. And alluded to the fact that he and his wife Grace had had some concerns that the vaccine had contributed to. his child's autism. But nonetheless, we did get pulled. It didn't stop. The headlines were everywhere. We were getting hit from all sides. After we'd been kicked out and all the news was ripping into us,

ABC News was going to talk about Tribeca. It was like a 10-minute piece. Robert De Niro was there. Jane Rosenthal, his partner that put Tribeca Film Festival together. They made the mistake about asking about Vax. And Robert DeNiro did not hold back in his support. This is what that moment looked like. There was a bit of controversy, some headlines at the beginning of this year's festival when it was announced that this film called Baxt would be screened at the festival. Later, the festival pulled it. Was it because of the backlash? We're surprised that people reacted the way that they did. I was shooting a movie. I was in the middle of a lot of stuff. I think the movie is something that people should see. There was a backlash which I haven't fully explored,

and I will, and I didn't want it to start affecting the festival in ways that I couldn't see. But definitely there's something to that movie, and there's another movie called Trace Amounts. And there's a lot of information about things that are happening with the CDC, the pharmaceutical companies, there's a lot of things that are not said. I, as a parent of a child who has autism, I'm concerned, and I want to know the truth, and I'm not anti-vaccine. I want safe vaccines. The thing is that to shut it down, there's no reason to. If you're scientists, let's see, let's hear.

Everybody doesn't seem to want to hear much about it. It's shut down. And you guys are the ones that should be the investigating, do the investigating. I think the film was controversial because people felt that the filmmaker had been discredited. Even he, I'm not so sure about. At the end of the day, even him. It's not questioning how people, some people got autism, how the vaccines are dangerous, if not given a dangerous, certain people who are more susceptible.

And nobody seems to want to address that, or they say they've addressed it, and it's a closed issue. But it doesn't seem to be, because there are many people who will come out and say, no, I saw my kid change like overnight. I saw what happened, and I should have done something, and I didn't. So there's more to this than meets the eye, believe me. There's something there that people aren't addressing. And for me to get so upset here, today, on the today's show with you guys, means there's something

there. That's all I wanted was the movie to be seen. People can make their own judgment, but you must see it. Well, the controversy never stopped. Vaxed was attacked in every movie theater it appeared in all around the world. In many ways, it was a benefit that we could have never seen coming. All of that controversy made headlines not just for one week or a weekend at Tribeca, but every single week as we opened in a new theater because families would go to their local movie theater and say,

we want Vax. There would be letter writing campaigns, and the demand became so great that a theater would finally give in and open up and let a screen, and there would be lines down the block. That was an entire year of my life. We traveled with a bus that said vaxed on the side of it. People were signing the names of their injured children and their children who had died, or they themselves, that had been injured. It was a traveling memorial representing that film. This film, I believe, is really credited with igniting this. this movement against medical tyranny around the world.

It was world changing. It's going to continue to be relevant because as we move out of COVID, we need to recognize that we have not forgotten all of those that were injured before COVID. All of those children with autism, a rate that is now being said to be around 1 in 44 children being diagnosed with autism every year. It's far more prevalent in boys, which means somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 in 18 to 1. and 20 boys is being diagnosed with autism. If you are concerned about that, if you're concerned

with how you saw the COVID vaccine being made and the cover-ups by the CDC, wait till you see how this all began. This is vaxed from cover-up to catastrophe. In California, the worst measles outbreak in 15 years is spreading. The virus is roaring back into the headlines tonight. An outbreak somehow traced to... Someone who had probably caught measles abroad visited Disney. and may have sneezed. Measles on the march in America. This outbreak is showing no signs of letting up there already more cases this year. The number tripled to 644 measles cases reported in 27 states. And I mean, is this all basically because of the anti-vaccination movement

because parents aren't vaccinating their kids? Yeah, you know, I think so. A bill that would ban exemptions from childhood vaccines is advancing through the California legislature. We are authoring legislation that abolish the legislation that abolish the personal belief exemption. I think you're starting to see why it is that mandates are so important. There has been some inaccurate information circulating about vaccines,

mostly stemming from a British study linking vaccines to autism. We still continue to hear the vaccine caused autism, even though that's been debunked. Repeatedly and thoroughly debunked. You may have heard vaccination causes autism in one out of 110 children. Fuck that. Total bullshit. It doesn't. The bill requiring children to be vaccinated has passed with bipartisan support. Every child must meet immunization standards before joining public schools, private schools, and daycares. I would strongly encourage everybody.

Look at the science, look at the facts. CDC, the Center for Disease Control, can give you good information. Get your children vaccinated. I have waited a long time to tell my story, and I want to tell it truthfully. I was involved in deceiving millions of taxpayers regarding the potential negative side effects of vaccines. We lied about the scientific. about the scientific findings. The CDC can no longer be trusted to do vaccine safety work.

Can't be trusted to be transparent. The CDC can't be trusted to police itself. Just a few thoughts. William W. Thompson, senior scientist, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I was sitting at my desk where I teach at Simpson University, and university. My phone rings, and it's Dr. William Thompson. Brian, you and I don't know each other very well.

I don't know how this is all going to play out. You have a son with autism, and I have great shame now when I meet families with kids with autism, because I have been part of the problem. My son, Steven, was born in February of 1998. Steve, what does the cow say? Sweet tweet. Tweet.

Tuggy. Tuggy. Two weeks after his 15-month vaccines, then he lost all language. He lost all eye contact. He'd pick him up and he would just hang limp. This is a time where CDC was just starting to do these studies on vaccines and autism. As a scientist, I have over 60 technical and scientific publications and major international scientific journals.

And I was contacting the CDC and was deeply critical of their studies. And so the CDC decided that the scientist who was going to interface with me at that time was Dr. William Thompson. Because I was on his back, because he didn't like what I was saying about the statistics, I received a letter from a CDC attorney in 2004 saying that I was no longer permitted to contact the CDC. Fast forwarding to 2014, Thompson said to me, Brian, if you listen to me and if you do what I tell you to do, I can guarantee you will be able access a treasure trove of data and I would

like to guide you through these steps. We are research and I want to be valuable to you. I want you to have someone in the system. For years, I had been trying to crack this edifice of the CDC and just getting little glimpses of what was not right. The CDC has put the research 10 years behind. Because the CDC has not been transparent, we've missed 10 years of research

because the CDC is so paralyzed right now by anything related. thing related to autism. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a board-certified behavior analyst. In 1978, I want to say the prevalence of autism was about one in 15,000 children. It was a very rare disorder. I was working at a clinic at UCLA, which was pretty much the only known center for treating children with autism. And we had maybe six to ten children who we were working with.

Somewhere around the early 90s, shortly after I opened card, the growth of autism has been so high and so rapid that I've never felt like I could ever catch up anymore. From an official diagnostic perspective, the way that we define autism, we're looking at deficits in two areas. The first is social communication and social interaction. And in that area, we require three specific

symptoms to be present. Symptoms such as no social-emotional reciprocity, no non-verbal communication, that means eye contact, for instance, or no development of relationships. The second required area of deficit is the presence of stereotypic, repetitive, restricted behaviors. And these are things like hand flapping, body rocking, insistence on routines being the same. One of the new additions is the presence of a sensory dysregulation. If a child has an inability to sense things correctly, not necessarily hearing things the way we do, that could be classified as a symptom of autism.

So if you have five symptoms, two in the area of repetitive behaviors and three in the area of social communication deficit, then you will get a classification of what's called autism, spectrum disorder, ASD. We begin, though, as always, keeping a monitor. Breaking news tonight, just hours ago, the British Medical Journal, BMJ, did something extremely rare for a scientific journal. It accused a researcher, Andrew Wakefield, of outright fraud.

I got a call on the 19th of May 1995 from a mother telling me the story of her child, his regression into autism following a vaccine, and I said, how can I help you? I know nothing about autism. you've come through to the wrong number. And she said, no doctor, my child has terrible gastrointestinal issues and no one will take them seriously. I was an academic gastroenterologist doing research with a particular interest in Crohn's disease

and ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease. I knew nothing whatsoever about autism. When I was at medical school, it was so rare, we weren't taught about it. We heard a succession of stories which were very, very similar. Medicine is about pattern recognition and there was a clear pattern emerging. So we decided a group of us, including the world's leading pediatric gastroenterologists, at the time led by Professor John Walker Smith, decided that these children merited thorough investigation.

Well, Dr. Wakefield has been shown, used absolutely fraudulent data, decreated a fake paper, the journal allowed it to run. All the other studies were done, showed no connect whatsoever again and again and again. So it's an absolute lie that has killed thousands of kids. And what we discovered and reported for the first time was this link between what appeared to be a novel type of intestinal inflammation and autistic regression

in previously developmentally normal children. And among those, the majority had regressed into autism according to their parents following the measles mumps for the vaccine. It wasn't our place, to censor their story because it may be uncomfortable for public health. Our job was to report that story accurately in order that it might lead to further investigation. And the paper explicitly said, this paper does not prove an association between MMR vaccine and the syndrome described. More work is needed to resolve this issue.

That was the conclusion of the paper. As an investigative medical journalist, I've spent the last seven years working on one of the the best medical talk shows in the world. We know in medicine that there have been many, many studies proving that vaccines do not cause autism. But the problem I have always had with that is thousands and thousands of parents all telling the same story. My child got a vaccine, usually the MMR vaccine, and then that night or the next day broke out in a fever. And then when they came out of the fever, lost speech, lost the ability to walk, basically regressed into what we know was autism and never came back.

Doctors used to be told to listen to their patient. That was the cornerstone of medicine as we know it. But something's changed recently where the patient doesn't know what they're talking about. And these parents with their story of their children have just been written off as though they have no idea what's really going on with their child. I have two kids.

And anyone that has children knows that when we first have babies, we are overly sensitive to every little hiccup, every cough, every sniff, So to say that a parent was just unaware that their child had issues, and suddenly they realized that one year later that, oh, they have autism, that doesn't make sense to me. And so I wanted to look into this story and find out what is this disconnect between medicine, science, and real parents?

I couldn't wait to be a mom. I remember specifically before we even got married, talking about how important children would be in our lives. I wanted a daughter first and I wanted a son and we were planning on having four children We were going to be the most perfect parents that we could be. Bella was born and that was a wonderful experience. Bella was just an angelic, perfect child. She'd hit all her milestones.

I got pregnant with Billy quite quickly. Bella, say hello to Billy. Hello. We've now got a beautiful girl and a beautiful boy. Life was just amazing. So at two, four and six months, Billy had his normal baby vaccines. A little bit snively, chesty, coldy after maybe the last one.

So me, in my perfect mother mode, rush to the doctor. Is he okay? Do I need to give him anything? Yes, you need to give him antibiotics, just to make sure there's not an infection in there. It didn't clear up. Rush him back to the doctor. We need more antibiotics.

It's just keep this going in him. And I remember my mother calling me out, my mother's just of homeopathic hip. hippie and calling up saying, what do you do it? You're chucking those of antibiotics, Danielson, for what? And I'm saying to her, mum, with all due respect, you're an artist, and their doctors, so they know best. He was due his MMR vaccination at 12 months. So the morning, exactly to the day, my friend, she said to me, listen, I've heard that there may be a problem with this vaccine we're about to take Billy for the MMR. And I said,

is you crazy? What is the matter with you? If there was a problem with vaccination, it would be headline news, the doctor would be calling me up saying, do not bother coming in, this is not a safe vaccine. None of that is happening. You're being negative, you're being careless, and you're listening to, what, some rumor that you heard somewhere. Billy could become deaf if I don't take him in now

and get him this animal. You know, most of the evidence linking measles with autism is kind of settled down, and most of the doctors and scientists agree that it probably isn't the major cause. I've been working in pediatrics for almost 20 years. I think most pediatricians view vaccines as the number one thing they do for kids. Okay, bye, there we go. I'm a high one.

All right. All right. Okay. I'm young enough to not remember the days of kids in an iron lung because they were battling polio. You know, polio has essentially been eradicated from this country. In 98, the Wakefield study came out. son had just been born. That study kind of pointed a finger at the MMR. As a parent, I was scared to give the MMR to my son. And as a matter of fact, we, I didn't give it to him on time,

because I wanted to see. I wanted to see what additional studies would show. And over time, additional studies did show that, no, no, it's safe. And so he did get the vaccine. You know, if everybody stopped vaccinating, we'd be going back to the same. to the dark ages. When a CDC scientist who'd been there at that time 17 years tells you this is how you access data, it didn't take me very long to realize, oh, I better do what he says because he knows what he's talking about. I just want to tell you one thing.

Right now I'm sitting in a very pretty position in terms of providing you a lot of information. He asked me, what data sets are you going to request? And I said, well, I'm going to request two of the studies that you've done on Tamarisol, the mercury-containing preservative that's used in some of the vaccines. And he said, well, that's fine, but I want you to request the MMR data set first. And this is the study by Frank DeStefano and his colleagues in 2004. It was the one study where we could end up creating a mess while the CDC tried to, you know, tried to sort out something they couldn't understand.

The day Billy got the MMR was a loving nine, as well said, my life, to be honest with you. I came in and I saw him lying in his cot listless. He started this uncontrollable shaking. Uncontrollable shaking. Imagine coming out of a frozen pond. His eyes were doing this and he was shaking like this. And I remember she grasped him and held him really tight to her chest. There's immediate fear in John and there's immediate, mummy, this is not going to happen.

I don't know what is wrong with you, but this. this is not going to happen. And we get to hospital, we rush him in, doctors are coming in and looking at him. That's when they said he's had a reaction, he's had a seizure, this is normal, this is common for many, many children who have this vaccination, it's absolutely okay.

He's going to be fine. Nobody ever told me that there would be any side effect to any of the vaccinations my children had. Following his febrile convulsion, that he had the same day of the MMR. We were told to take him home. He slept in the bed with us for the night. He seemed just very, very sleepy.

In fact, he didn't really ever wake up to the billy that we had before. For me, it became really necessary to start looking at what types of medical issues are these children going through? What are the other factors that have affected them, that have brought them to this level of symptomology that we call autism?

This is now probably the mid-90s. I came to notice that there was, A, a, very high use of antibiotics amongst these children, but B, what became pretty interesting was seeing the number of families who were reporting that their child had a regressive type of behavior occur right after their vaccinations. A lot of these parents were showing me footage of their children who had been, completely developing normally until 18 months and then all of a sudden post-vaccination had developed incredible regression. Children who had speech anywhere close to 50 to 100 words and had completely lost all of their words. Children who were extremely attached and interactive with their parents and had suddenly become isolated, no longer responding to their own name.

This was all happening right after their MMR vaccine. My oldest son, Ian, was born normal, developing normally. He was this beautiful boy, and we ended up at our 12-month visit, which is one year. Then they gave him multiple vaccines at once. And within seven days, he had 104 fever and a rash all over his body. He had previously been noted in our videos, home videos, that he was walking and actually running at that point.

that point. Seven days after the vaccine, he was no longer able to do that. He was falling down. He became a really sick, sick little boy. So the question for those of us investigating autism is age of exposure to MMR, a risk for autism. And in order to understand why that might be, you have to understand something of the history of MMR vaccine. In 1987, there was an MMR vaccine that was being used in Canada, produced by Smith-Klein-Beacham. And that vaccine caused meningitis. It was recognized quickly, and that vaccine was withdrawn in Canada. However, in the same month that it was withdrawn in Ontario, it was licensed in the UK.

The name was simply changed from trivaryx to plusorings. In the UK, it was used for four years, and likewise it caused meningitis and had to be rapidly withdrawn. It was a public outcry. There was an acute loss of confidence by the public in vaccine policy. and the vaccine should at that point have been destroyed. It wasn't. It was then shipped to developing countries like Brazil where it was used in a mass vaccination campaign. And there was an epidemic of meningitis,

which was entirely predictable. Now, scientists studied that epidemic, and what they found is that the risk for meningitis was associated with age of exposure. The younger you got the MMR vaccine and the greater the risk of meningitis. For people like me investigating autism, the question was, is there a similar risk in autism? Is age of exposure to MMR a risk for autism just as it was for meningitis? We shared with the US Congress and the CDC the hypothesis.

The story as told to us at which we have an obligation to report is that the the majority of children regressed following a period of normal development in the face of MMR vaccination. That does not mean it is the cause of the disease. The Institute of Medicine is a body of scientists and physicians that review the available data on vaccine safety and then advise our government on vaccine research policy. Well, because Andy Wakefield had put forth this theory that the age at which you receive the MMR may increase your risk of autism, The IOM looked to the CDC to do that very study. It was a study about timing.

Does the earlier you receive the MMR vaccine increase the risk of autism? When we talk about the MMR study, nobody had ever requested those data because it was a big secret that you could do it. Thompson told me to email such and such a person, and then on the inside, I also found out that one of the people

preparing these datasets for me was Bill Tompon. for me was Bill Thompson. They don't really want people to know that this data exists again. You know, I just can't believe we actually got you that data. Thompson couldn't send these documents directly to Brian Hooker because that would have been illegal. What Thompson identified was a legal loophole that is referred to as a citizen's request. That allowed Thompson to deliver to Brian Hooker potentially classified information in a legal way.

You get checked in England with your baby. at certain times by health visitors. So at nine months, Billy had his full-blown check and it says no parental concerns, baby laughing, babbling, talking. So we passed that with flying colours. 18 months is when they next come in. And by this time, we know there's something seriously wrong with Billy.

Probably within five or six days, the first signs really was this vacancy. He wasn't the same smiley little baby that he was before. He had a blank expression. Then the diarrhea kicked in. His tummy started to get bigger and bigger bloated, rock-hard bloated tummy. He would start to walk on tiptoes. His hair fell out in this dreadful, high-pitch scream,

sort of whiny scream developed from him. And then came the headbanging, the constant banging against his crib. The constant banging against the floor or a wall or anything that he could find to bang his head on, he would thrash it and thrash it. John and I would lie in bed at night just listening to this thud, thud, thud. Thud. There's nothing. He's now not even noticing his sister who used to play with. John comes through the front door after work, no recognition that we were his parents.

Or this child even belonged to us. Nothing, nothing gone. I mean, that was the time where our boy changed from what he was to a real tragic, tragic case of a child who regressed into this autistic state and lost everything. Lost everything. The CDC, the way that they do research studies is very reactionary. They look at something that's creating a press and creating a buzz that could actually lower vaccination rates, and that's what they study. They don't study vaccines proactively.

So if Andy had never done his original study, gotten that published in the Lancet, would have never created the uproar that rightfully it should have created, then the CDC would have never studied this. The press conference for the Lancet paper was called by the dean of the medical school, who was the chairman of the media committee. I had done an extensive research into measles vaccine safety and MMR vaccine safety in the pre-licensing phase. In other words, what safety studies had been done

before these vaccines were put onto the market and into children. The 250-page report was compiled by me showing that the vaccine safety studies for MMR in particular were lamentable. They were lamentable. Many, many assumptions have been made about the safety of this vaccine. And there had been problems which had been airbrushed.

So I wrote to my colleagues and the dean, and I said, going forward, there are going to be questions about what parents should do next. I cannot, in due conscience, support the continued use of the MMR vaccine, having done this research. I said, I will continue to vigorously support

the use of the single vaccine, but can no longer support the use of the triple MMR vaccine. So the Dean, as chairman of that committee, had three choices. He could have not had a press conference. He could have banned me from the press conference. Or when the question came up as inevitably it would, what do parents do next about vaccinating their children? He knew what my response would be. He could deflect the question to someone else.

When the question came up on the day, he directed it straight to me. To assure you, we are not the exception to the need of the measles vaccination, but we are all free of it. That is, it was that parents opt for the use of the single vaccines, single measles, single mumps, single rebella, until the issue had been resolved scientifically. What happened when I made that recommendation, Unilateral decisions were made by the government in the UK to withdraw the importation license for the single vaccines. Merck opting in the US to cease the production of the single vaccines, giving parents no option. I said to a senior representative of the Department of Health, why, if your objective is to protect children against serious infectious disease, why would you take away the option of how parents do that?

And she said, because if we allowed parents the choice of single vaccines, it would destroy our MMR program. In other words, the concern was for the protection of the program over and above the protection of children. No one's career has ever been advanced in the medical industrial complex by being outwardly and openly critical of the vaccine industry.

I'm Mark Blacksell, a father of a daughter diagnosed with autism back in 1998. I've written two books that have come out of the autism movement. have been projected into autism advocacy ever since. McKell was born typical. Everything was fine, was developing normally through her first birthday. We had vivid memories of early language,

joint attention, lots of play. She was adorable, beautiful, cute. And then somewhere in the months after she began to slip away, and she lost language, and she began to retreat into a world of her own. And at two years, nine months, we got a formal diagnosis of a full syndrome autism. It was a hopeless, pessimistic future that was laid out in front of us. She was going to be disabled for the rest of her life, likely to be non-vocal in an institution,

and that the best thing we could do was to accept the inevitable. Part of the story we heard from the Harvard experts was autism was genetic. It was low and relatively constant prevalence. The more I learned, the more clear was that that whole orthodox view was false, completely false. Revolutions only happen in science when there is an anomaly, an anomaly that the old orthodoxy can't explain. With autism, the anomaly was the explosion in cases, which meant that what people were trying to describe as a genetic, neurologically based condition,

couldn't be genetic. It could only be environmental. It could only be some set of things that had happened to children. And you had to ask the question, what might it have been? One of my personal training clients was the director of programs for LWT, London Weekend Television. And this guy said, why don't you do a program? And people out there may be someone out there with this condition. He said this is going to be an unbelievable story.

We've got nothing to lose. Right now, this child is either going to be. kill himself because he's going to smash his head to pieces, or we are going to go insane because everybody here is miserable. That program was aired and we received 250,000 email hits. Computers were kind of new then, the whole internet computer thing. Ours crashed. We'd set up a Billy Tommy website just in case somebody, one person might be able to help us, crashed. The television stations computers crashed. They had never seen anything like this before. The parents had exactly the same story as us.

Antibiotics, some were chicken fox a lot, vaccine. Bang, the symptoms are all the same. The diarrhea, the constipation, the hype, hitch, scream, the banging of the head. We've all lived through it. It's the same story. And it was Polly's idea to put all of this stuff together in a magazine called Autism File. Let's all ask the questions and maybe someone can help. someone can help. These questions from these parents were not being answered by the doctors that they went to see. They came to us out of desperation and we had 45,000 subscribers within four months.

When I originally got the MMR autism data, I came up with my own analysis plan and I stepped through logically and systematically how the data should have been approached. I looked first, First of all, at males versus females. Then I looked at black males. The relative risk of them receiving an autism diagnosis was astronomical, and it was highly statistically significant. I really had to scratch my head and say, I know nothing about the MMR vaccine.

And so that's when I originally called Andy. Wow. Really? After everything that had happened, everything we'd all been through, everything that the families had suffered for the last 15 years, and the CDC had known all along there was this MMR autism risk. As I started to divulge more the conversations than I think it really hit him, that this was a major crack in the wall of the CDC.

The first thing that Thompson did was to plot a graph, a graph of percentage of children vaccinated, against age at first MMR vaccination. The children with autism are represented by the pink line, the children without autism by the blue line. Now, if there's no link between early MMR and autism, those two lines should track together, whatever the age at first MMR.

Now they do track together until they get to 15 months. And then they separate and they continue to separate thereafter. This was their first indication that MMR vaccine was causing autism. And that finding alone rocked Thompson back on his heels. This was a huge issue for Andy. So I said to Brian Brown, are you recording these conversations?

Recording phone conversations was not really palatable to me. It almost seemed cruel. Whistleboers can disappear as easily as they came. They're like a fish on a hook. And your job is to get them into the boat. Temple walked at 12 months, so he had been walking for,

an entire month before we went in. For the next set of fascinations, the minute we walked into the pediatric office, Lou, his twin, she's screaming her head off. I mean, she knows what's going on. She doesn't want the doctor touching her. I look up, and there she's got the shots lined up. Three for him, three for her.

By the second shot, Lucinda had flipped herself over, so I had to stop looking at what I was doing. and unstrap her, get her out. Where the minute I get her out, and I calm her down a little bit, and I look over, he's screaming. I look at the shots, and I notice that one of hers was gone. There are only two shots left for her. And I asked the nurse practitioner, I said,

what happened to that other shot? She says, oh, my goodness, I gave it to him. I said, which one was it? She said, it was the other MMR. I said, call the doctor. This baby is screaming his head off. You've given him an extra shot. I don't know what the effects of that's going to be.

We're leaving, and I left. So she never got her shots. I go home, this baby cried, cry, cried. I put him down on his little blanket. He starts banging his head on the floor, banging his head on the floor. Next morning, I go in his room, and he's staring in his face,

and he's looking around like this. As if, you know, he's a bit paralyzed. Not the baby who was always doing this every morning and smiling, for me to get him out of bed. And I pick him up and he does this. And I said, what has happened to my baby? So I call a clinic. And I said, I think my child's had adverse reaction to those shots yesterday.

She says, no, no, no. I'm waiting for a representative from Merck. I don't think it was a reaction to that. Bill Thompson looked at African Americans. He saw that those African Americans that got the MMR on time were 2.64 times more likely to get an autism diagnosis than those African Americans that received the MMR after three years of age. What this was suggesting is that among the blacks,

the ones that were getting vaccinated earlier, were more likely to have autism. At that point, the group of researchers that was working on this particular study, they were having weekly meetings, Colleen Boyle, who was the head of developmental disabilities branch, a Marshalin Juergen Alsop, who was one of Thompson's direct supervisors, Frank DeStefano, who was the head of the immunization safety office, and then a postdoctoral research associate named Tanya in. In that meeting, Thompson brought up the fact that African Americans were showing a highly statistically significant risk of autism if they got the MMR on time. What is said in these closed-door

meetings? I mean, do people say, oh, well, this is unacceptable, or is it just, do they always say, oh, this can't be right? I'm not going to lie. But I also don't want to say things to you right now. that aren't some written form. Right. The analysis regarding the African Americans was the eight on the Richter scale earthquake that just shook through the CDC. I take him to see the pediatrician that I know.

And she looks at me, she closes the door, and she whispers, she says, Sheila, I believe he has autism. I said, what? Like rain, man? She says something like that. I'm going to refer you out to a neurologist. And we go see the neurologist the next week. He says, he has every classical symptom of autism.

I do not believe this. I was angry. When he was explained to me what Canna's autism is, he told me he was born that way. I said, no, he wasn't. Clearly there was a very high risk of autism in African American children. But here's the thing, we know that autism is four times more common in boys. And so to see that effect mirror in the African American children was a compelling finding.

When I looked at African American males only, the relative risk was 3.36. It just blew my mind. And that's when I wanted to call Bill Thompson on the phone. And his statement to me was, oh, you found it. It appears in the final publication is that race in general publication is that race in general general is downplayed. Of course it is. Temple's twin is amazing. She is fluent in three languages. She speaks French like a native. She is an A student. She plays classical piano. With all of the guilt that I feel from that day, one of the best decisions

I made for her was to walk out of that office without her being vaccinated. at the end of this journey. I don't want to be one of those mothers standing there saying what I wish I would or could or should have done. I want to be able to say I gave it everything that I had. I gave it my best shot. His twin is gone into the 11th grade

and for someone who still can't manage to cross the street. Now am I grateful he's here, you bet? I'm grateful my son lived. And I was so naive that he would live a fulfilling life. He would end up being a happy man, having a family. My dreams for him. My son gets the further that dream seems to be. So what do vaccines do?

Vaccines build up your immune system and make you stronger to fight off disease. Are vaccines safe? Yes, the studies involving millions of children have shown no connection between vaccines and autism. Stick to the schedule. The CDC's own vaccine schedule, which we are required to adhere to as parents in America, recommends that our children get the MMR between 12 and 18 months. But in this hidden data provided to us by William Thompson, it is clear that for African Americans, this is actually the most dangerous time to deliver the MMR.

The CDC, in my opinion, is one of the, it's where I go to if I need information about an infectious disease. I probably either go on their website or open one of the reference books every day. That building is filled with a lot of scientists that are smarter than me. The analysis plan is one of the most important parts of a scientific study. It's the laws or the rules by which the scientist will adhere to while doing the study. And this analysis plan is put together by the scientists themselves. sometimes their superiors weigh in. But once they've locked that analysis plan,

they've said, this is how we're going to use the data. And you can't deviate from that analysis plan, or you're at risk of fraud, scientific fraud. Did they deviate from the analysis plan after seeing something that they didn't like? If they did, we have a real problem. Thompson not only played a major role in developing the analysis plan,

He was the numbers guy. He was responsible for collecting the data, analyzing the data, and presenting the results. And by November 2001, the results were in. Now with the MMR autism one, the... We had an analysis plan that we were supposed to execute as was written. And, you know, I'm going to be sharing these draft analysis plans that we had. that we had and you can see whether we did what we said we're going to do. That analysis plan had been agreed upon not only by the co-authors, but also CDC superiors.

In order to conceal the effect of the MMR, what they had to do was to reduce the number of children in the study in order to reduce what is referred to as the statistical power. That is the ability of the study to detect a difference if one genuinely exists. In the analysis plan, they had agreed to, you know, used two sources of information. The first was the children's school records, and the second was the children's Georgia birth certificate records. So while every child in the study had a school record,

only half of the children in the study had a Georgia birth certificate record, because the other half had been born in other states. So the analysis plan was explicit. Information on a child's race was to come from their school record. But when confronted by data that revealed an increased risk of autism in African American children, so they deviated from their analysis plan.

They chose to get the race data not from the school record, but from the Georgia birth certificate record. Instead of having 3,000 individuals in the study, it went down to about 1,800. The relative risk went down from 2.64 to 1.8, but more importantly, that relative risk was no longer statistically significant. I now ask you to step forward, to receive your prize from the hands of His Majesty, the King. I am Rick Montagnier, MD. I am a virologist by training. I obtained a Nobel Prize for my contribution to the discovery of the AIDS virus. The vaccine-autism interaction is a worldwide problem, not only in this country, in Europe,

but also in Asia, even in Africa. The MMR vaccination in a very early stage of infancy before the age of two was more prominent. in Afro-American children, and this was hidden for some time. This fraud, of course, ranks very high, to my opinion in the ethics of medicine and science. CDC in the past has done a very important work on the discovery of AIDS, so I'm very disappointed to see a different situation with CDC dealing with autism. Shortly after Julie Gerberding became head of the CDC, I began to communicate with her and ask her to come to my office. There didn't seem to be objective research going on. There was the CDC trying to promote vaccination for children, and then they were doing the safety research themselves.

In CDC's judgment, the best public policy is to continue vaccination unchanged. while aggressively working to try to identify causes of developmental disabilities. The CDC, I just thought, was institutionally conflicted. The CDC can't take money directly from pharma, but they can set up a foundation, and the foundation can attract donations from commercial interests and does.

Merck, ClaxoSmithKline, now Pfizer, Sinofi Aventus have huge multi-billion dollar vaccine in businesses. They're profitable. They've grown because some of these new high-tech vaccines that are patented, that are high priced, get protected by this little cocoon of regulatory capture in HHS and are guaranteed multi-billion dollar franchises. When I was working at Merck, I was a sales rep for Vioxx. The whole scandal started when it was discovered that Merck had manipulated data and covered

up the fact that Vioxx actually caused twice the amount of heart attacks and strokes, then the placebo. What I learned from that experience was just because things are on the market does not mean they are safe. I think we get into a very dangerous territory with vaccinations. If a drug company gets just one vaccine added to the schedule, they can make upwards of $30 billion in one year. It's no secret.

I think they've published their intention, which is they want to create an environment of constant vaccination from cradle to grave. They want infant vaccines, expanded flu shots. D-TAP boosters, gardosyl shots, meningi cockle shots. They want adult vaccines. They want you and me to come in and get a constant barrage of shots. And then they want vaccines for the elderly. We have a highly profitable product because the safety testing isn't as rigorous as a normal

pharmaceutical drug. The gold standard is double-blind, placebo-based, long-term study. And that just isn't done with vaccines because they're classified. in a different way as a public health measure. And they haven't been tested in combination with other vaccines. Yet doctors give six to nine doses per visit. It's insane.

If pharmaceutical drug was tested like this, it wouldn't be on the market. But because it's a vaccine and the safety testing is less rigorous, our children are being experimented on. I don't like to look at autism from a behavioral perspective. I look at it from more of a what causes it in each child. When I want to define autism, I have to say that it's the inability to detoxify the way you're supposed to, or at the rate that you're supposed to. It all has to do with this toxic overload.

These children are not detoxifying from the vaccinations. Same thing with GMO products. The pesticides in our food. If I can prevent the child from being exposed to more toxins, then when I'm teaching the child, at least the child's getting better and not continuously getting worse. Without a doubt, what's happened to Billy has changed his life. What I have on my hands now is a 19-year-old man. He's six foot two. He is volatile.

On good days, Billy is brilliant. He's an angel. On bad days, the slightest thing can trigger him, and he's scary. I'm going to go downstairs and get Daddy right now. You need to stay up here, okay? I'm going to kill Daddy right now. Bill, listen to me. I'm going to stay with you up here and you're going to try and calm down, okay?

The reason they become aggressive and dangerous in some cases is because they have no ability to communicate. Because, Mummy asked Kent, but Kent bringing the sweet corn and then bringing the chickens here. Because this is your fault, Mummy. If you were not able to express your needs, your wants, your desires, your happiness and sadness and so on, you would become aggressive. That's often when we see the worst part of autism. They... No. We had to occupy his room and use his video player.

And of course that is a massive intrusion in his space and he's, he got very upset. Where else in this house can you play a video? Remember? Listen, Bill. Push the stress level, Philly. Bill, don't tap down him. Out there, there's millions of me. There's millions of polytommies with vaccine damaged children.

I am telling you there. because I don't want you to live the life that I've led. I don't want you to go to the pain, I do not want to see you suffer, your family suffer. That is why I'm telling you. I have no other reason to tell you about it. It's not my concern, my kids are already damaged. I am a senior research scientist here at MIT

in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. I have a bachelor's degree in biology from MIT and I have MSEE and PhD degrees, also from MIT in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I became interested in autism a long time ago when my best friend at the time had a son who was diagnosed with autism following a D.P.T. He ran a high fever after the shot, seizures a week later, and then was later diagnosed with autism. We have to accept the fact that autism is new. That before 1930, the rate of autism in the world was effectively zero.

And then for a long time it was one in 10,000. I got interested in studying autism eight years ago when I saw the numbers go, and I was quite alarmed because I could see that the trend was exponential growth. And exponential growth is extremely scary. Since really the mid to late 80s, we've gone from this low prevalence environment to a rate of increase where the trend is still vertical. We have not seen a flattening in trend.

Every couple of years, the CDC provides a number of what percentage of the kids are diagnosed with autism. And you've got the dots going all the way back to 1975. You draw the line. It is a perfect exponential curve. If we assume that things are going to continue, as they have for the past 30 years into the future, we can predict that by 2032,

80% of the boys born will end up on the autism spectrum. Half the children, 80% of the boys. If you think this vaccine is only a problem for African-American kids like me, you're wrong. There's an even bigger problem, one that puts all kids at risk, and it's called isolated. It's called isolated autism.

When the CDC researchers set out to do the study, they asked themselves the question, if early MMR vaccine causes autism, in which children would we be most likely to find this effect? Their answer is children with no developmental concerns for the first year of life, children who were perfectly healthy until they received their MMR vaccine. They called this group isolated autism. Now this does not refer to an isolated case of autism or an isolated group with autism. They isolated autism out. These were children who had no comorbid conditions apart from their autism.

No cerebral palsy, no mental retardation, no visual or hearing impairment, no epilepsy and no birth defects. This risk group includes essentially every healthy child. in the world. I'm a single father raising a 15-year-old, severely autistic, nonverbal teenage daughter. When she was 15 months old, she received a round of vaccines that included the MMR and the DTAP.

She developed a high fever. When the fever broke, she lost everything. My daughter was six weeks old when I took her in for her vaccination. Two hours later, she had a five-minute seizure, and two hours after that, she had another five-minute seizure. Mom is here. Come on, come on, come on, come on, you're okay, you're okay. Come on, baby, come on, baby, come on, baby, come on.

Come on, baby, come on, you can do it. Come on, baby, come on, come on, come on, come on. Come on, baby, come on, come on. The vaccination gave her severe brain damage, and she had seizures every day for the rest of her life until she died in my arms at the age of 15. There is no good reason to choose not to get a vaccine. He got his MMR and he got his DTP, and within days he stopped talking.

Projectile vomiting, convulsions. He went blind in his left eye. Vaccines took our healthy, happy baby and made him unwell. She lost all acquired speech. He lost his speech, he lost his eye contact, like the flick of a switch. If vaccines were unsafe, I think this would be an interesting and reasonable discussion. Obviously, some minority get hurt by this stuff. I don't understand why this is controversial.

Vaccines are safe, get vaccinated. It's like, you know what, shut the fuck up, and let me take every vaccine that Merck wants to shove down my throat. Autism is not a side effect of vaccine, or to say it another way, because some people don't want, don't hear this well. Vaccines do not cause autism. Hear this well.

Hear this well. Please hear this well. Here this well. Vaccine can and do cause autism. do cause autism. My grandson. Daughter Lily and my daughter. My son was fully vaccinated. My son, Jackson. I had a healthy, typically developing boy. Please hear this well. That he's cause autism. One day everyone will know the truth about vaccines.

Hear this well. I actually think the most interesting results are the elevated ones for the isolated, ones that don't have other comorbid conditions. The effect is where you would think it would happen. isolated autism, he saw a very, very strong effect specific to those kids that got the MMR on time. When Bill Thompson ran those numbers, he saw an astronomical effect. Some of the numbers were actually the relative risks were as high as seven or eight times higher with these kids that were diagnosed with just isolated autism, no other diagnosis, versus those controls.

Isolated autism is confusing because it sounds small, but it really is a big problem. Because all healthy children, no matter what race, are at risk. For example, my sister is 18 months old and she's supposed to get her MMR shot right now. But if she does, she's seven times more likely to get autism than if my parents wait until after three years old. So I hope my parents don't do it. Here's what's really scary. When we look at isolated autism, we see that there's a up to seven-fold increase in the incidence of autism between those that received the vaccine between 12 and 18 months versus those that

got it after three years old. But let's be perfectly clear. Every child in this study had received the MMR vaccine. What would the numbers be if you compared children who got the vaccine between 12 and 18 months versus children that never got the vaccine at all. This is often referred to as the Vax versus unvax study. And the CDC refuses to do this study. Even though every drug that we take has been through this exact study,

there's a group who take the drug, and then they compare it with a group that do not take the drug, and they see are there more side effects and complications with the group that takes the drug. So why does the CDC refuse to do the Vax versus unvax study? Probably because when we look at the results of this study, we realize that the risk would be astronomical. And is likely to be one of the major reasons we're seeing this skyrocketing increase of autism worldwide. Just like the African American children, they went into the room and they sliced and diced the data in an effort to get rid of that effect.

This is Colleen Boyle's meeting notes, how they plan to present the data by the data. these age groups that after the fact when the data are in she writes re-format and then she puts in new age groups even this failed to achieve the desired effect since in the end they simply omitted the relevant findings from the paper altogether i was just looking at that i'm like oh my god i cannot believe we did what we did um but we did yeah so it's all there it's all there and you in the health field You who run our health agencies in this country who are sitting here today, you have an obligation to these kids that you just saw there to make sure that these studies are complete, thorough,

so that everybody knows that we have all the facts, and you don't have that. One of the things we did, because this was such an important topic, was to have them be sworn in. So they were under oath. And if they were doctoring the results of a study and they did it deliberately, they committed a felony. It used to be one in 10,000, and now it's one in more than 250 kids that are being damaged in this country that are autistic. Now, those kids are going to grow up. They aren't going to die.

It's not like a lot of diseases where they get infected and they drop dead. They're going to live to be 50, 60 years old. Now, who do you think is going to take care of them? It's going to be us, all of us, the taxpayers. And it's going to cost, I think, as you said, Mr. Maloney, trillions of dollars. So we can't let the pharmaceutical companies and our government cover this mess up today

because it ain't going to go away. And it's going to cost the taxpayers' trillions more if we wait around on it. And for our FDA and HHS and the health agencies to continue to hide behind this facade that there have been studies that conclusively prove otherwise is just wrong too. So the CDC wasn't just doing this study inside of a bubble. In fact, it was the exact opposite. They were under fire. You had Congressman Dan Burton in front of the Congress, demanding answers about mercury and the MMR and vaccine studies and the connection to autism.

Dave Weldon, Congressman from Florida, is reaching out to Julie Gerberding with serious complaints on how he thinks this entire issue is being handled. On top of that, the Department of Justice is requesting files and data from the CDC because of a previous study called a Verstratin study that had so many anomalies, it looked like scientific fraud was taking place. So they were suspicious.

So then you look at the emails that Thompson's provided to us. And you see that he's reaching out to his line manager, Dr. Melinda Wharton, throwing up red flags, saying, I first spoke with you in September of 2012. regarding the sensitive results we have been struggling with in the MMR autism study. How do you struggle with scientific results? I mean, facts are facts. Data are data. That doesn't make any sense. So you've got Dan Burton breathing down their necks. The Department of Justice is requesting files.

And William Thompson finds out that Colleen Boyle has brought in a lawyer to help her decide what materials are too sensitive to provide to the Department of Justice. This obviously freaks William Thompson out because later in the email to Wharton, he says, I will be hiring my own personal attorney. And it's extremely unfortunate that we need to be concerned about whether our own legal rights are covered when participating in a study such as this.

What's going on here? We have government scientists lawyering up over a children's safety study. Clearly, this does not say, it well at all with Dr. Thompson because at the end of this email he makes what looks to me to be a clear threat. My level of concern has also caused me to seriously consider removing myself as an author on the draft manuscript. So then a few days later, Thompson writes directly to Dr. Walter Ornstein, head of the National Immunization Program, saying, I am not interested in taking

all of the political heat that will go along with that study. Thompson, has gone all the way to the top of his department. I mean, we don't ever get a response from Walter Ornstein, but Thompson is very clear on what happened next. The higher-ups wanted to do certain things, and I went along with it. In terms of chain of command, I was number four out of five. Dr. Thompson talked about destruction of documents,

and that in fall of 2002, there was a meeting with a trash can rolled in, and they selected documents to be destroyed. I led all the analyses with the DiStefano saying, literally everyone else got rid of all their documents. So the only documents that exist right now from that study are mine. These documents were no doubt federal records. They were very important documents

because they showed a very strong statistically significant effect. He felt that quite rightly it would be illegal to destroy those documents. And so in his office he kept not only the hard copies, but the computerized files for that study. There was a dramatically different result presented before and after the time frame that Thompson alleged that these data were destroyed. If I never had the documents before October 2002, there would be nothing that would show that they actually had the results in hand and they decided to destroy those results. I filed a formal complaint to the Office of Research Integrity and the Department of Health and Human Services. services. I heard back not long after the complaint was filed and the letter

basically stated that every co-author except for Dr. Thompson denied that any such meeting was scheduled. They denied that any material was destroyed or thrown away. They were calling Dr. Thompson a liar. It was their word against his. Dr. Thompson predicted that this would happen. There's things I haven't even shared with you because I can't prove it and that's what i struggle with i don't want to share things with you that i can't prove that there aren't hard records um because i am worried that the other four people will pollute and say no that's not true dr thompson provided meeting notes to me for precisely the time

where the co-authors are claiming that no meeting took place that's what i keep seeing again and again and again where these senior people just do completely unethical, vile things, and no one holds them accountable. So look, once you have the data, a scientific study like this is a relatively simple process. You just run the data, you get the results, and then you publish those results in the paper. In their own analysis plan, this study was only supposed to take six months, from May 2001 to December 2001. So if they weren't destroying data, why did this study end up taking four years?

The question everybody needs to be asking the CDC is what the heck happened between October 2002 and February of 2004? The reason you don't see anything else circulating on the study, it was five of us behind closed doors for two years. Wow. So after two years of secret meetings. behind closed doors, Dyshthneuxneri merges with the final draft of the MMR study, and they're going to present it to the Institute of Medicine.

People on the IOM move from industry, government, academia, government industry, and then they bounce around. It's all the same people, and there wasn't a really good policemen in all this to really make sure that the vaccine safety studies are done properly and that they're done objectively. it just didn't seem to me like we were running a system that was credible. I had written to Julie Gerberding, and I asked her to postpone the February 9th Institute of Medicine meeting. This report, the Institute of Medicine report, I wanted postponed because of my concern that this was not an exercise in discovering the truth, but was instead a meeting being driven by a desire

to short circuit important research and draw premature conclusions. The problem is William Thompson, being the lead scientist, he's going to have to present their findings. And he's not happy about it. In fact, he's so upset that he goes above the lead author to Stefano, above Walter Ornstein, all the way to the head of the CDC, Dr. Julie Gerberding. And in an email, he says, Dear Dr. Gerberding, I will have to present several problematic results relating to statistical associations between the receipt of MMR vaccine and autism, basically saying, I'm not going to continue this lie.

If you put me up there, I'm going to tell the truth. Thompson was originally scheduled to provide a briefing because he basically told Director Gerberding that he would have to say that there is a causal association. He was switched at the last minute with Frank DiStefano, who was able to report to the IOM falsely. We have found no association between MMR and autism. The IOM was the point of no return, and so deprived of the truth, the IOM declared MMR vaccine safe.

It was a rush to judgment to shut the door permanently and completely on the MMR autism link. It's absolutely appalling that much of what I said turned out exactly to be true. They were trying to short-circuit the research. It's the lowest, you know, it's the lowest point in my career that I went along with that paper. After their brilliant work on the MMR study, DeStefano and his team received an award from the Department of Health and Human Services.

And then several years later, Dr. Julie Gerberding received an award of her own. a high-paid job as head of the vaccine division at Merck. Clearly, Merck appreciated the work she had done investigating their vaccine. Just to let you know, I wrote a paper on my results on MMR. Yeah. And it will include something that I got from you. Brian was about to publish a paper using data that could only have come from an inside source of the CDC, a whistleblower. And from that point forward, William Thompson was a marked man.

Andy approached me and said, it's time to publicize a CDC whistleblower. Ironically, 12 years later, while Thompson is bearing his soul to Brian Hooker, in front of Congress, Colleen Boyle is just peddling the same old CDC fraud. But this time it's to a new player, and that's Congressman Bill Posey from Florida. I wonder if the CDC has conducted or facilitated study comparing vaccinated children with unvaccinated children yet. Have you done that? We have actually done a number of studies looking at the relationship between thimerosol vaccines and autism and other developmental disabilities. The lives from the CDC were still the same.

The difference now is we had William Thompson. Vaccines and their components did not increase the risk for autism. My time's very limited here. So clearly, definitely, unequivocally, you have studied vaccinated versus unvaccinated. We have not studied vaccinated versus unvaccinated? Never mind. Just stop there. That was the meaning of my question.

You wasted two minutes of my time. Brian had also submitted a related paper to a journal called Nature and Neuroscience. And in that paper, he had specifically referred to an unnamed source at the CDC. And my worst fears were realized when a journalist from nature and neuroscience contacted the CDC, contacted Walter Ornstein. The message went on to Frank DeStefano, who sent it out to the co-authors saying, keep your heads down, this may be coming your way. The fear was all of a sudden we'd be dredging the river for Bill Thompson.

So I said to him, Brian, we've got to do three things. We have got to get Thompson a whistleblower lawyer. We've got to make sure that his documents are, with Posey and we've got to reveal his name. Whistleblowers are in danger only as long as the only people who know their identity are their enemies. Do vaccines cause autism? In the last 30 years, the childhood vaccine schedule has tripled, while the U.S. autism rate has skyrocketed from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 50. Dozens of published research papers show that, you, you know, Yes, vaccines and autism are linked.

Yet the debate rages on, in part because of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, passed by Congress as a result of pharmaceutical lobbying. It shields drug companies from liability for injuries and deaths caused by the vaccines they manufacture. Vaccines that the federal government admits are unavoidably unsafe. Instead of suing the pharmaceutical company directly, parents are forced to petition the Department of Health and Human Services, and if federal health officials oppose compensation, the case is argued before a special master in the U.S. claims court. Many refer to this as vaccine court. Here are some shocking facts about the so-called vaccine court. Pharmaceutical companies do not have to participate in the proceedings at all.

Taxpayers pay for all damages. The U.S. Department of Justice acts as the government's lawyer, with taxpayers footing the bill for their defense. Beginning in 2002, there were already thousands of cases accumulating in vaccine court, and the average compensation for autistic child is in the range of $5 million. So just do the math. The government was facing several hundred billion, possibly a trillion dollars in liability. As the autism epidemic grew, they had... to develop a fraudulent study that would exonerate MMR,

to deliberately defeat the cases in vaccine court to avoid paying the trillion dollars. So the thousands of autism petitioners were denied their fair day in court by a corrupt and deliberate obstruction of justice. It is one of the most unethical medical decisions of all time because it was made with knowledge to sacrifice these children as an individual

direct affront to the congressional mandate that they all be compensated. In the fall of last year, I got a call from an inside source who told me that in two weeks, there's going to be a whistleblower from the CDC who is going to come out and say that the CDC had committed fraud on the MMR study and that they knew that vaccines were actually causing autism. I mean, that's a huge story. Unfortunately, it was a story I would not be able to tell on a medical talk show, because a lot of our funding was coming from the pharmaceutical industry. And we were also very good friends with the CDC

who had appeared on our show many, many times. But I knew that once this story broke, two weeks later, that the mainstream news media would pick it up. Fox would be on it. CNN would be on MSNBC. And we're talking about the biggest medical story in the last decade or two, at least. So that two weeks came.

I saw the video that was posted by Andrew Wakefield and Brian Hooker, I heard the words of William Thompson and his confession. Oh my God, I cannot believe we did what we did. But we did. It's all there. It's all there. And I watched the blogosphere go crazy, tweets, Facebook, social media, everybody talking about it.

But not one mainstream media source went anywhere near the story. In fact, on CNN, someone put the story up on a my report and CNN took it down. And at that moment, I realized, wait a minute, not only is my medical talk show being produced by the pharmaceutical industry, all of television is, we were never going to get this story. But we certainly did get a story. A highly contagious measles outbreak. Major outbreak.

Measles outbreak. Measles on the march in America. This outbreak is showing no. signs of letting up. But in 2014, the number tripled to 644 measles cases reported in 27 states. It's really amazing to consider the number of cases of autism every year and to contrast that to, let's say, the number of children who acquired measles by going to Disneyland. It's a tiny number of children who acquired measles and it's a vast number of children who are

being diagnosed with autism every day. We don't know what causes autism. I mean, that's fair to say. We're not sure as a scientific community, what causes autism, but we know that vaccines do not. Now, I'm not saying that Sanjay Gupta is a bad guy. In fact, I think that he tries to do a lot of good, just like many doctors do.

But if they're being lied to by the scientific body that provides them with their information, what happens to all of us? What happens if a good doctor? doctor sees the same data that I saw. So you're a scientist basically. So you're studying this and you feel 100% comfortable. You even said you have kids. So you're your family person. You would feel very... How long have you been a doctor and sort of what's your area of specialty? Sure. I've been a family medicine physician for over 10 years now.

And treating families, everyone from newborns all the way up to my oldest patient is 96. So do you administer vaccines as a part of that? Yes, I do administer vaccines. In our clinic, we follow the CDC recommendations, and we give that information to our patients, and we give them a schedule of when their children are going to need to be vaccinated and so on and so forth. There's something I want to show you. This is the formal complaint about what they've been given by William Thompson, the whistleblower at the CDC. Okay?

There's all sorts of reference materials in here and things like that. I'm just going to give you time to look at it, studied as long as long as well as well, as you want, okay? When you feel like you have a grasp of it, it's going to, I know, it's going to take some time. Appreciate you taking the time, all right? Okay. So I have sent you what William Thompson has said

is the fraud at the CDC. All of that data that was missing. Did you get a chance to really look it over? It's really unbelievable. How blatantly the data was switched around. It made me question whether, or not this organization that's been mandating how I practice medicine for the past 10 years, if they're lying about this or leaving data out about this particular study, what else am I being

lied to about? I'm still trying to digest it because this study, which was used to kind of give the definitive answer to us pediatricians that, oh, the MMR is not related to autism. I kind of feel like I've been lied to. When they set out to do the study, they wanted to look at the data and interpret the data. But then there's a piece of data that they chose to ignore. The data they excluded was really, really significant. Think about it.

It's a big deal. It is a big deal for a physician to have to deal with the fact that for the past 10, 20 years, we've been potentially... Destroying the brains of children. Everything I've been telling my patients for the last 10 years has been based on a lie and a cover-up. Parents making decisions about their children's health deserve to have the best information available to them.

They should be able to count on federal agencies to tell them the truth. Once Brian and I had outed Bill Thompson, he got himself a whistleblower lawyer. He provided all of his documents on the fraudulent CDC study to Congressman Posey, who then went before the Congress. Considering the nature of the whistleblowers documents, as well as the involvement of the CDC,

a hearing and a thorough investigation is warranted. So I ask, Mr. Speaker, I beg, I implore my colleagues on the Appropriations Committees to please, please, take such action. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I yield back. It's now been seven months since Congressman Bill Posey urged the Congress to subpoena Bill to do. to subpoena Bill Thompson, and they have done nothing.

Bill Thompson wants to be subpoenaed by Congress. As a CDC employee from the federal government, he cannot speak voluntarily because of the threat of jail time. Absolutely, William Thompson needs to go before Congress. He needs to go before the whole nation. Everybody needs to see what he has to say. He needs to be deposed in front of a committee in Congress, and Julie Gherberd,

has to be brought in and deposed. Because this is a very, very, very disturbing revelation for this researcher to come forward and be saying now that they were indeed deliberately concealing critical information about an MMR autism link, horrible, horrible development. Deviation from an analysis plan, omission of crucial data,

destruction of documents, obstruction of justice, misleading the Congress, grievous harm to innocent children. This has to be investigated. You and I are in agreement. Vaccine safety should not be in the CDC. Absolutely. You would end up with an agency like the National Transportation Safety Board. The next thing they need to do is they need to, somebody needs to reintroduce the Weldon Maloney bill. It needs to be very, very quickly enacted, and you need to take all of the vaccine safety responsibilities, out of the CDC.

These children have been maimed by the actions of Colleen Boyle, Frank DiStefano, Marshalin Juergen Alsop, and Tanya Bacin. My son has been debilitated for 17 years. I think jail time is too good for these individuals who have perpetrated such fraud. The notion of vaccinating children, protecting children against serious infectious disease,

with vaccines that are serious, safe and effective is laudable. You hear about measles outbreaks in Disneyland and then they try and sell you MMR. We didn't see autism being reported as a consequence of the single vaccine, only of the triple vaccine. So my feeling is that we need to review vaccination policy

across the board. But in the first instance, I do believe we can make the problem far less if we separate those vaccines. out into their single measles mumps under vellum. I just cannot imagine what it will be like if we really do face a future in which half the children born end up on the autism spectrum. I mean it will be so disruptive of the school system.

There'll be so little money to be able to spend on the normal children to help them, to bring them up and to educate them. We're just going to have extremely sick children and parents that will be so distracted by the challenge of bringing up these children that are so sick that our society will not be able to focus on anything else the implications of that for our country for our competitiveness as a nation for our economy are are massive they must know and they do know that there's a national emergency i mean this is going to be a complete catastrophe if we just let it happen what will you say the next time a mother sitting there with her baby in their hands says dr rachel is the MMR vaccine safe? Hmm.

I'm going to tell her. I'm going to say, you know, honestly, I'm not going to give the MMR vaccine to my babies, and here's why. It was such an amazing beautiful film that you just watched. I have to say, when I finally watched the final edit when we were finished and we'd locked it, I actually was looking at myself and I had tears in my eyes, and I thought to myself, who made that film? I really did. I, you know, I hear of artists or sculptors that say, you know, I didn't sculpt it.

I just removed the stone that was in the way. And I think Vax very much felt like that. In many ways, it was great minds coming together. It was brilliant to work and spend a whole year really working directly with Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who is such a wealth of knowledge on this issue. But in many ways, it just sort of created itself. And I think it will stand the test of time all around the world. world for those that see it. That's why we wanted to share it with you today. One of the things,

and one of the controversies around this film actually came from those that considered themselves anti-vaccine. And it had to do with our list of questions or our demands at the end of the film, actually. Let me just read through those because, you know, we had finished up the film and we said, what do we want the last, you know, thoughts to be? And let me explain it, for those of you that maybe never heard this before. Here they are. Number one, we, you know, we just, you know, were demanding that Congress subpoenaed Dr. William Thompson investigate the CDC fraud. I can't tell you how many meetings I had trying to achieve this with all sorts of representatives. Jason Chaffetz was the head of the oversight community on government reform.

He could have been directly involved with this. I had multiple meetings. He seemed very interested. Trey Gowdy was interested, but we could never seem to get this thing over the line. And so that never happened. We never got a full investigation into the CDC. Basically, the government said, well, the CDC is doing their own internal investigation,

and they're saying that there's really nothing to see here. And so that's what we're sticking with. Number two, that the Congress repealed in 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and hold manufacturers liable for injury caused by their vaccines. Had we been successful on that, you would have never had this destructive COVID vaccine. You wouldn't have it today. There is no way these manufacturers would ever put these products out to the people with emergency use authorization if they were being held liable. In fact, even AstraZeneca was quoted when they were trying to get their vaccine, COVID vaccine into Belgium, that they needed Belgium was one of the few countries saying, we don't want to give you liability of protection.

And they said, we cannot be held responsible for injuries that may occur, you know, three or four years down the road. That's what they admitted themselves. That's what we know to be the truth. And that happens to be the fact about every single childhood vaccine we give our kids. None of them ever went through a long-term safety trial or placebo trial, most of them less than six months. The hepatitis B vaccine you give on day one of life to your babies here in the United States of America. I'm sure it's similar around the world. That had a five-day safety trial before it was put on the market.

We're not making this step up. These are the facts. So I think it's still critical as we move forward. in a world that we never again allow vaccines potentially made by cronies of presidents getting emergencies authorization which means they never have to go through the gauntlet of a safety trial and then inject it into innocent people all around the world that will only end the day we bring back the natural market force which is liability you have to be able to sue a company i don't care what you make if you can't be sued you do not care about safety and so this must be our

mission to all of you that have joined. This will be our mission moving forward. We must bring down the 1986 vaccine injury compensation act. All right. Three, that the single measles, mumps, and rebella vaccines be made available immediately. Now, this is the one that probably created the most controversy. Many people saying that, you know, why would we write that? I'm obviously, Del Bigtree must be working for the other side. You know, he knows that a measles vaccine by itself is dangerous and so is rebella and to say that breaking that apart would somehow fix the problem and so let me try to explain what the thinking was here to begin with when we were making vax i had just left the doctor's television show my specialty was at trying to make science

and medicine make sense to all of the people in the world right didn't matter where you live what way of life we made it understandable and so i wanted to make it understandable i also thought that would be great for all of those, you know, liberals like myself that work in Hollywood that think vaccines are perfectly safe and effective. I'd done a deep dive for a year. I knew we were wrong. I knew that sort of my political affiliations that we were on the wrong side of this. So I imagine those people watching this film. And amongst those people were the doctors and scientists that I had been working on the doctors. And I thought, what would it take to convince them to take another look at vaccines, knowing at that moment they never had.

They had been running some agenda-driven monologue that they'd been taught in school as Heidi Larson, one of the head psychologists at the WHO said before COVID in a big WHO meeting, let's face it, doctors and nurses are lucky if they get a half a day education on vaccines. That's what the WHO says. Every doctor knows that's the truth. So how was it we could enroll doctors? Because I felt like that's how we changed this. So a lot of this list was not aimed at, you know, people who were being injured.

The thought was what would be the list of questions that seemed so reasonable that doctors themselves would say, hey, that seems reasonable. Let's get behind that. I mean, if you're going to get vaccine anyway, let's get the measles, moms, rebella vaccine and separate them. And I thought the beauty of that would be if they tried to do that, they would run into the pharmaceutical establishment that will never, ever in a million years allow that to happen. They will never break up that vaccine because they know that that would be the death of the vaccine program.

It would show weakness. It would show fear. And because of that, I thought that might wake doctors up to what's really going on here. This is a pharmaceutical-based industry that is buying our government. And so that's why that question was there. It was not to say, oh, it'll be safe if they just break it up. I knew for a fact they would never break it up. And so by making that statement, I thought that maybe we could enroll doctors in the challenge to wake up their minds to what was really going on here.

And then lastly, number four, that all vaccines be classified as pharmaceutical drugs and tested accordingly. This seems so simple again. Doctors have got to think, I mean, one of them think themselves, they are tests like drugs, right? No, they're not. Every drug we take goes through a double-blind inert placebo study. for safety. In multi-years, five years, 10 years. And as I pointed out, your infant is receiving a vaccine that got a five-day safety trial with no placebo group to compare it to. This has to change. And it could change so simply. Just as simple as saying, you got your own liability like every other,

you know, every other product in this country. How about, you know, you were going to be treated? This is a drug. It has all of the same things in it, all of the same ingredients and compounds that you would find in drugs with this added thing, live bacteria and live viruses and and mRNA technologies now that can, you know, transfuse or transcript with your own DNA and genomic. I mean, sequences. This, they try to say, well, vaccines are just, they're just more naturally safe. Nothing to be further from the truth. In fact, they seem more prone to being catastrophic in the body if something goes wrong than just a drug and some simple compounds. So this list, I think, still stands up.

I wanted to be clear on why it was there. Now, as we were kicked out of Tribeca Film Festival, of course, the media went crazy. And who knows, were we ever going to get a screening? What was going to happen? I thought we were going to be dead in the water at first. But that week, the moment we were in the news being kicked out of Tribeca Film Festival, I got a call from Angelica Film Center in New York City. And they said, we would like to screen your film this Friday.

And I thought, wow, that's great. Thank you for your interest. But we weren't even supposed to screen at Tribeca Film Festival for another 30 days. And frankly, we have a lot of work to do to have been ready for that 30 days. And to be honest with all of you, even at a screening at a film festival, you're assuming you're going to do an edit after that film festival. That was the best you could make at that moment. Then you see how the crowd likes it.

And then you do some final edits after you maybe win some awards or you release your film. five or six months later. So this was literally the moment it was announced at Tribeca. We didn't have titles on the film. We didn't have music. There was so much that needed to be done. And so I said all this to the owner of Angelica Film Center in New York. And he said, I don't care about any of that. He said, the only reason I'm calling you is you're the biggest news story in media today. I don't know how long that's going to last, but I am sure because of that, people will fill the theaters this week. And that's why I'm offering you this week, take it or leave it. So I decided to take it.

We took the opportunity and we worked day and night tirelessly, 24 hours a day, trying to finish up the film as best we could get music, get titles, figure out the spelling on everyone's names. So the screening happened at Angelica Film Festival. And when I walked into those theaters, we're doing Q&As after every screening. I decided to ask a question because I was curious about who are these people, this line down the block. Who are they? And so I asked the question, will everyone stand up if you have a child with autism that's been injured by a vaccine? That moment, I will never forget when most of the rooms stood up, it sucked the oxygen

out of the room. Not only was I surprised, I think all of those with injured children had never realized how many people were standing with them. Here's just a sense of what that first day was like. I have eight-month-old right now. It's kind of scary thinking about that. You just start counting everybody in the street, one, two, three, four, and like the 50thest person has autism.

545 accidents. The U.S. to cease the reduction. A tree for our competitiveness is a nation, for our economy, our massive actions of calling Boyle, brain, vaccinating children, protecting children against civil. Ladies and gentlemen, please give me one more big, warm round of a lot of the first. for this powerful movie. Let me hear. Pauli Tommy, Del Nidtry,

and Dr. Richard, Dr. Andrew and William Stewart. Brian contacted me in around May 2014 and started discussing the expoes of the CDC whistleblower, Dr. William Thompson. At that time, we decided to turn this into a documentary. First, I want to thank you because this is what I have been going through. what I have been going through and nobody ever understood my point. Rich, we haven't done this yet, but there's something I'd like to do for,

you know, all the press out there that, you know, says, you know, this is all the joke or somehow they shouldn't be paying attention to it. Can every parent or someone, you know, if you have a family member with Atson, would you please stand up right now? Like to see. Can we turn in the cameras,

everybody's got a camera room, I want to show you how many people have got to school. You are why we are here. The world needs to know this is taking place. What did you think about the movie? I think it was very powerful. It really hit home. Our son Jacob was born a normal, healthy child.

This is not an anti-vaccine movie. I really want to emphasize that point. I wanted to get up and scream. I was crying through the movie. People are afraid of the truth. They are afraid of the truth. And I realized that that's going to make this fight very difficult. It's just a brilliant, brilliant film about an extremely important.

extremely important issue. Do you think it was an act maximum? No, not all. And I don't think anti-vaccination exists. No money, no money can be worth hurting another human being. We're supposed to love one another, not harm one another. So we have to stop this now.

And there are more William Tompsey's out there. And they need to come out and they need to put a stop to it right now before we hurt anybody else. It's impossible to explain what an honor it was to be a part of this Vaxed phenomenon. What started out as a film about a CDC whistleblower became a movement that swept the entire world. And as we stepped out of every theater, more and more parents were lining up to tell the story of their injured children, or maybe injuries even to themselves. Then we went on to buy this bus so that we could travel from theater to theater and meet the people that were

telling their true stories. That's why I'm so happy to announce that the Vax bus is here on the I can campus. First, we built the high road with the bricks and your support. Now we want to build a museum to make sure that this beautiful monument is enshrined and protected in a way that will be here forever so that people can visit. Those whose names are maybe signed on here or those that have loved ones whose names are on here, or maybe all of us that perhaps don't have injured children, but learn from those parents that told the truth, that shouted from the mountaintops and made sure that our children were safe. We don't forget our history here. We remember it and we are making history every single day. And speaking of making history, I hope you're booking your hotel rooms and your

flights to be in Los Angeles for the defeat the mandates rally on April 10th at Grand Park because the defeat the mandates rally is going down. We should all be there. Make sure to mark it up on your calendar, set the date, get a hotel, make sure you don't miss out because you will seriously regret it. This is what it's all about standing together in truth. Here's the promo that you should be sharing with everyone you know. Check it out and I'll see you next week. This is the example of what you get when you choose to attack all members of the human

family. This is what you get when you decide to go after a person's child. And I have to make it very clear that they really didn't expect all of this. Thousands from across the country rallied today. in Washington, D.C. For a rally against COVID-19 mandates. The message for many on Sunday was not anti-vaccines, but the right to choose.

Thank all of you for coming out today to stand up for our children, our grandchildren, and our great-grandchildren. The determination to preserve medical freedom is in your hands. We're fighting for ourselves, our patients, and all of you. We are fighting against big pharma. They have always

put profits before patients. You know, here in the United States, really, it's going to be black people who really should get it first. To my African-American brothers and sisters, the vaccine that you're going to take was developed by an African-American woman. As an African-American,

I come here as one of the most vaccine-hesitant group. If you choose to take the vaccination, do you take it? We should have a choice. The vaccine passports and the vaccine mandates take us back to the days of segregation. It's back to the slave passports. Are you free or you're not free? You can't go here if you're not free or you're clean or you're clean or not clean.

I'm tired of these people that sit in the White House that stimulate race wars. We're going to come together and we're going to fight these mandates together. Tired that we are being experimented on. We have all been deceived. I'm tired that we are being manipulated. They used our artists. They used our athletes, our singers, our rappers. Celebrities are under a tremendous amount of pressure

because they use celebrities to control the black community. black community. Shout out to we the people. Oh yeah, I forgot. They made that phrase, racist too. But as you see in the audience, those who are Muslims, Christians, those in the Jewish community, Democrats, Republicans, white, black, everyone all in between. This is the example that they do not want to see, but they have no choice.

This wall is so beautiful. Look at all of you. Look at you. The world sees us. We are 17,000 doctors. We are the love for life. for life. I believe in you. Are we ready to reclaim the dream? Now the people rise up. Let's reclaim our country. The truth is like a lion. You don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.
