1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,992 2 00:00:00,992 --> 00:00:05,831 Dr. Brian Hooker is the scientific director of Children’s Health Defense. 3 00:00:05,831 --> 00:00:10,555 Children’s Health Defense is a nonprofit organization based in the United States. 4 00:00:10,555 --> 00:00:17,346 Its mission is to protect the health of children worldwide, identify the causes of health problems 5 00:00:17,346 --> 00:00:22,281 among children, and hold those responsible to account. 6 00:00:22,281 --> 00:00:33,746 On April 29, 2026, Brian Hooker gave a lecture in Switzerland, moderated by AUF1 host Thomas Eglinski. 7 00:00:33,746 --> 00:00:40,377 A personal experience led Brian Hooker to begin exploring the topic of vaccinations in 8 00:00:40,377 --> 00:00:45,525 relation to chronic childhood illnesses 28 years ago. 9 00:00:45,525 --> 00:00:53,149 Even back then, he had noted that the number of chronically ill children worldwide had risen significantly. 10 00:00:53,149 --> 00:00:59,375 Today, one in five children in the United States has a developmental disorder. 11 00:00:59,375 --> 00:01:07,315 His scientific studies—in which he compares vaccinated and unvaccinated children with regard to chronic 12 00:01:07,315 --> 00:01:16,811 diseases—as well as similar studies by his colleagues, are routinely rejected for publication by medical journals. 13 00:01:16,811 --> 00:01:19,429 This raises the question: 14 00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:25,806 Why are these very elaborate vaccine studies being categorically suppressed by highly professional experts in their 15 00:01:25,806 --> 00:01:29,823 field, and why are the dramatic connections being kept secret? 16 00:01:29,823 --> 00:01:36,469 Who has an interest in ensuring that the medical community at large and the world's population never find out about this? 17 00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:48,033 Learn more about Brian Hooker's scientific work and the shocking findings of his scientific studies in this presentation. 18 00:01:48,033 --> 00:01:55,905 So, let's get started. I'm the scientific director of Children's Health Defense. 19 00:01:55,905 --> 00:02:03,695 I started working for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. around 2015. 20 00:02:05,796 --> 00:02:12,070 And in 2021, he was finally hired directly by Children's Health Defense. 21 00:02:17,773 --> 00:02:22,218 I have a child who was harmed by a vaccination. 22 00:02:24,093 --> 00:02:33,288 When my son was 15 months old, he received three vaccinations while he had an active ear infection. 23 00:02:33,288 --> 00:02:43,302 As a result, he very, very quickly developed neurological developmental disorders. He was diagnosed with autism. 24 00:02:43,302 --> 00:02:48,736 So back then, 28 years ago, I noticed that the number of sick children in the United 25 00:02:48,736 --> 00:02:53,859 States—and, in fact, worldwide—had risen significantly. 26 00:02:58,523 --> 00:03:06,851 Today, one in six children—now one in five—in the United States has a developmental disorder. 27 00:03:06,851 --> 00:03:13,522 At least one in 31 children has autism or has been diagnosed with autism. 28 00:03:13,522 --> 00:03:17,239 In my home state of California, it's one in 19 children. 29 00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:22,268 In Los Angeles, in Los Angeles County, it is now one in ten boys. 30 00:03:22,268 --> 00:03:30,455 And if you've seen the movie "Vaxxed," you know that—as was to be expected—it affects three out of ten African American boys. 31 00:03:30,455 --> 00:03:37,925 As a result, 30% of African American boys in Los Angeles County are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. 32 00:03:37,925 --> 00:03:45,057 All of these case numbers have risen since the late 1980s and early 1990s. 33 00:03:47,162 --> 00:03:52,703 We also know that mainstream doctors, pharmaceutical representatives, and government officials very 34 00:03:52,703 --> 00:03:58,696 often tell us that vaccine injuries are rare—that they occur in only one out of a million cases. 35 00:03:58,696 --> 00:04:04,972 Only one in a million people have a reaction to the vaccine. But that's not true. 36 00:04:04,972 --> 00:04:11,636 We know that the CDC commissioned a study in 2010. 37 00:04:11,636 --> 00:04:19,945 In this study, they analyzed 1.4 million vaccinations administered over a three-year period. 38 00:04:19,945 --> 00:04:24,984 Of these, 35,000 were potentially serious side effects. 39 00:04:24,984 --> 00:04:30,991 So for me, that's not one in a million, but 35,000 out of a million, which is a 40 00:04:30,991 --> 00:04:35,545 completely different number. Or it's about 2.6%. 41 00:04:35,545 --> 00:04:42,310 And when you also take into account that people receive more than one dose of the vaccine—since that original 42 00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:48,936 figure referred to a single dose—the probability of vaccine-related injury rises to 10%. 43 00:04:48,936 --> 00:04:52,336 So this is potentially serious. 44 00:04:54,053 --> 00:05:00,831 The CDC more or less refused to continue funding the study, and it was not renewed. 45 00:05:00,831 --> 00:05:05,700 That would have automatically triggered our adverse event reporting system. 46 00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:12,763 But instead of looking to the future and truly understanding vaccine-related injuries, they chose not to do so. 47 00:05:16,345 --> 00:05:22,241 What happens when we compare vaccinated and unvaccinated children? 48 00:05:22,241 --> 00:05:27,615 We already know that the CDC simply didn't want to know this information. 49 00:05:27,615 --> 00:05:34,599 They cut off all contact with these researchers. They did not respond to their emails or their phone calls. 50 00:05:34,599 --> 00:05:42,476 But in 2017, I began examining the outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children. 51 00:05:46,329 --> 00:05:52,198 If a child receives even one vaccination, they are considered vaccinated. If a child does not receive 52 00:05:52,198 --> 00:05:58,094 any vaccinations, they are considered unvaccinated. 53 00:05:58,094 --> 00:06:04,122 In the following slides, we will distinguish between vaccinated and unvaccinated children. 54 00:06:04,122 --> 00:06:09,065 So these are not necessarily children who have been fully vaccinated; rather, having received even 55 00:06:09,065 --> 00:06:12,916 one or more doses makes them vaccinated children. 56 00:06:12,916 --> 00:06:22,265 If we take a look at this: This is a study conducted in 2017 by a good colleague of mine, Anthony Mawson. 57 00:06:22,265 --> 00:06:30,233 The red bars represent the vaccinated children. The blue bars represent the unvaccinated children. 58 00:06:30,233 --> 00:06:39,467 And you can see that allergic rhinitis—that is, nasal allergies—is consistently 30 times more common in the vaccinated group. 59 00:06:41,193 --> 00:06:45,688 And, by and large, these were children who had received at least one dose of the vaccine. 60 00:06:45,688 --> 00:06:50,319 In this sample, these happened to be children who were homeschooled. 61 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:57,626 If we then look at the other conditions we examined, they were, by and large, autoimmune diseases or developmental 62 00:06:57,626 --> 00:07:06,638 disorders, which occurred between 3.9 and about 5 times more frequently among vaccinated children. 63 00:07:06,638 --> 00:07:10,356 It gives me hope to see that more and more people are coming. 64 00:07:10,356 --> 00:07:18,361 The more people there are in this small room, the hotter it gets, but families who sweat together stick together. 65 00:07:18,361 --> 00:07:25,963 In the same study, the researchers examined actual infections among vaccinated children compared to unvaccinated children. 66 00:07:25,963 --> 00:07:31,107 And they found that cases of pneumonia were about five times as common. 67 00:07:31,107 --> 00:07:37,660 These were cases of pneumonia that generally required hospitalization. 68 00:07:37,660 --> 00:07:42,613 In addition, about 20% of all vaccinated children suffered from chronic ear infections, 69 00:07:42,613 --> 00:07:47,520 compared with less than 6% of unvaccinated children. 70 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:55,317 We know that not all babies are born the same. Okay, some babies are born less healthy than others. 71 00:07:55,317 --> 00:08:03,242 In this case, the researchers studied premature births. In other words, the subjects were premature infants. 72 00:08:03,242 --> 00:08:07,339 And they compared vaccinated children with unvaccinated children. 73 00:08:09,718 --> 00:08:18,557 So if they were vaccinated and born prematurely, their risk of developing a neurodevelopmental disorder—such as autism, tics, 74 00:08:18,557 --> 00:08:29,038 ADHD, an autism spectrum disorder, or Asperger’s syndrome—was 14.5 times higher than that of full-term, unvaccinated children. 75 00:08:35,725 --> 00:08:42,546 Within the same group of individuals, the likelihood of receiving this diagnosis was 2.7 times higher among 76 00:08:42,546 --> 00:08:49,080 full-term, vaccinated children than among unvaccinated children. 77 00:08:49,080 --> 00:09:02,122 Okay, in order to publish this kind of research in established scientific or medical journals, we need contacts. 78 00:09:02,122 --> 00:09:07,928 That's a very, very difficult process. We call it a contact sport. 79 00:09:07,928 --> 00:09:17,299 This research article was initially accepted for publication in a journal titled “Frontiers in Public Health.” 80 00:09:17,299 --> 00:09:25,026 As soon as it was accepted and only the abstract of the article was published, it caused quite a stir. 81 00:09:25,026 --> 00:09:34,709 There were 80,000 downloads of the abstract alone during the first weekend that this paper was featured on the journal's website. 82 00:09:38,151 --> 00:09:47,338 Ultimately, the paper was removed from *Frontiers in Pediatrics* that afternoon—on Monday afternoon after the weekend. 83 00:09:47,338 --> 00:09:53,373 They said, “We haven’t retracted the article. We hadn’t finished the review yet.” 84 00:09:53,373 --> 00:09:58,731 Yes, that's right. We hadn't finished the review yet. And we checked it again. 85 00:09:58,731 --> 00:10:04,171 "And this time, we decided to reject the article." 86 00:10:04,171 --> 00:10:07,868 Fortunately, this article has been republished. 87 00:10:07,868 --> 00:10:12,022 It was published in a more independent academic journal. 88 00:10:12,022 --> 00:10:22,697 But the whole process ended with the first author, Anthony Mawson, being suspended from his university at that time. 89 00:10:22,697 --> 00:10:27,092 At least the study was published. 90 00:10:27,092 --> 00:10:38,576 Then, in 2020, I teamed up with medical journalist Neil Miller, and we had already begun this study in early 2018. 91 00:10:38,576 --> 00:10:44,073 We studied children who were vaccinated during their first year of life and compared them to children who 92 00:10:44,073 --> 00:10:47,993 were not vaccinated during their first year of life. 93 00:10:47,993 --> 00:10:53,527 So at that point, we were only looking at infant vaccinations, which amounted to about 24 94 00:10:53,527 --> 00:10:58,516 vaccinations—the difference between the two groups. 95 00:10:58,516 --> 00:11:04,357 But as with the Mawson study, most of our vaccinated children were not fully vaccinated. 96 00:11:04,357 --> 00:11:09,692 On average, they received 8 to 9 vaccinations during their first year of life. 97 00:11:09,692 --> 00:11:18,741 When looking only at the first year of life—a period during which the vaccination schedule is particularly intensive, with up to 6 98 00:11:18,741 --> 00:11:26,676 or 7 vaccinations at once—developmental delays were twice as common, and asthma occurred 4.5 times more frequently 99 00:11:26,676 --> 00:11:31,456 in the vaccinated group than in the unvaccinated group. 100 00:11:31,456 --> 00:11:35,530 Please note that these red bars represent only partially vaccinated children. 101 00:11:35,530 --> 00:11:43,108 Ear infections also occurred twice as often in the vaccinated group as in the unvaccinated group. 102 00:11:43,108 --> 00:11:51,158 And when we began studying gastrointestinal disorders, we observed something that was very similar to developmental delays. 103 00:11:51,158 --> 00:11:53,628 I found that very interesting: 104 00:11:53,628 --> 00:11:59,161 Vaccinated children had 2.5 times as many cases of gastrointestinal illness as unvaccinated children. 105 00:11:59,161 --> 00:12:04,880 It was really hard to get this scientific article published. 106 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:13,389 Okay, so we submitted this article to five different prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals. 107 00:12:13,389 --> 00:12:21,471 So you'd think that at least one of the journals would review them rather than simply rejecting them across the board. 108 00:12:21,471 --> 00:12:29,292 But tellingly, they rejected the work within 24 hours of its submission. 109 00:12:29,292 --> 00:12:36,365 In fact, one reviewer wrote: “Brian Hooker is an anti-vaxxer, period; I reject this research article.” 110 00:12:36,365 --> 00:12:41,124 So it was an attack on me, not an attack on the work. 111 00:12:41,124 --> 00:12:45,138 Finally, we found the journal “SAGE Open Medicine.” 112 00:12:45,138 --> 00:12:53,310 And usually, scientific journals review an article once and then either accept or reject it. 113 00:12:53,310 --> 00:12:59,444 Okay, in this case, there were four different reviewers who reviewed the article three separate times 114 00:12:59,444 --> 00:13:04,088 over an 11-month period and provided comments each time. 115 00:13:04,088 --> 00:13:09,007 So it took longer to write this article than it does to carry a child to term. 116 00:13:09,007 --> 00:13:16,586 The article was eventually accepted by SAGE and published in May 2020, just in time for the pandemic. 117 00:13:16,586 --> 00:13:24,616 And it has been viewed or downloaded about 300,000 times. It's a very, very popular article. 118 00:13:24,616 --> 00:13:30,456 About every five to six months, I receive an email from the magazine in which someone complains 119 00:13:30,456 --> 00:13:33,809 about the article and demands that it be removed. 120 00:13:33,809 --> 00:13:38,897 Even now, six years later, they still hold on to us. 121 00:13:40,827 --> 00:13:49,473 That was an important milestone, because not only is it a significant article in an important journal, but the journal was 122 00:13:49,473 --> 00:13:56,489 also indexed in the National Library of Medicine of the U.S. National Institutes of Health —vaccine 123 00:13:56,489 --> 00:14:05,259 advocates, scientists, executives, doctors, whoever they may be, keep trying to have it removed. 124 00:14:05,259 --> 00:14:12,182 We didn't let that deter us; we began a new study, which was published in 2021. 125 00:14:14,844 --> 00:14:22,890 We doubled the size of our cohort—that is, the group of children studied—compared to the original study. 126 00:14:22,890 --> 00:14:30,005 Now let's compare fully vaccinated patients who followed the vaccination schedule with patients who are completely 127 00:14:30,005 --> 00:14:34,615 unvaccinated, and when we do that, our red bars get bigger. 128 00:14:34,615 --> 00:14:44,689 So we're looking at allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, asthma, autism, ADHD, and chronic ear infections. 129 00:14:44,689 --> 00:14:51,700 Some of these differences: Chronic ear infections are nearly 28 times more common in the vaccinated group—the 130 00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:56,760 fully vaccinated group—than in the unvaccinated group. 131 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:02,978 ADHD: One in ten children in the United States has been diagnosed with ADHD, a condition that is 20 times more 132 00:15:02,978 --> 00:15:08,040 common in the vaccinated group than in the unvaccinated group. 133 00:15:09,825 --> 00:15:15,685 We have also gained some interesting insights into autism. 134 00:15:15,685 --> 00:15:21,310 When we looked at the children—whether they were breastfed or not, and whether they had been vaccinated 135 00:15:21,310 --> 00:15:25,329 or not—we noticed something very, very interesting. 136 00:15:25,329 --> 00:15:28,900 The lowest risk was among unvaccinated children. 137 00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:34,664 This applied to all vaccinations, regardless of whether they were administered before or after the child's first birthday. 138 00:15:34,664 --> 00:15:37,768 So they didn't receive any vaccinations at all. 139 00:15:37,768 --> 00:15:41,488 If they had been breastfed, their risk was lowest. 140 00:15:41,488 --> 00:15:47,464 Among unvaccinated children who were bottle-fed or fed infant formula, the likelihood of 141 00:15:47,464 --> 00:15:52,116 receiving an autism diagnosis was 2.5 times higher. 142 00:15:52,116 --> 00:15:56,883 If they had been vaccinated and breastfed—that is, the opposite—the likelihood of 143 00:15:56,883 --> 00:16:00,640 receiving an autism diagnosis was 6.7 times higher. 144 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:06,850 And finally, those who fared the worst—with a 12.5-fold increased risk—were the ones who had been vaccinated. 145 00:16:06,850 --> 00:16:10,384 These are fully vaccinated children who were not breastfed. 146 00:16:10,384 --> 00:16:17,398 And we have defined “breastfed” as follows: For a child to be considered breastfed, it must have received breast milk regularly 147 00:16:17,398 --> 00:16:22,488 for a period of at least six months. Before its second birthday. 148 00:16:25,370 --> 00:16:30,179 Of course, I know that children are sometimes born into difficult situations. 149 00:16:30,179 --> 00:16:36,159 I understand the challenges involved in breastfeeding consistently. 150 00:16:36,159 --> 00:16:41,593 In addition, we want to compare vaccinated and unvaccinated children and take into account the type of 151 00:16:41,593 --> 00:16:46,432 delivery—whether it was a vaginal birth or a cesarean section. 152 00:16:46,432 --> 00:16:52,525 Here, too, I realize that there are certain emergency situations in which it is very, very difficult. 153 00:16:52,525 --> 00:16:59,226 It is a very difficult decision for a family to opt for a cesarean section. 154 00:16:59,226 --> 00:17:03,732 The most important thing for one's health is to have a healthy, living child. 155 00:17:03,732 --> 00:17:06,532 I completely understand that. 156 00:17:08,382 --> 00:17:13,772 But once again, the lowest risk is among unvaccinated children born through normal delivery. 157 00:17:13,772 --> 00:17:20,862 The likelihood of an autism diagnosis is 4.6 times higher following a cesarean section. 158 00:17:20,862 --> 00:17:24,172 And that is the hygiene hypothesis. 159 00:17:24,172 --> 00:17:29,926 During a vaginal birth, extensive colonization by essential microbes takes place. 160 00:17:29,926 --> 00:17:32,905 In the case of a C-section, these are not replenished. 161 00:17:32,905 --> 00:17:36,555 So it has become clear that this is very, very important. 162 00:17:36,555 --> 00:17:41,623 There are alternatives to a cesarean section for implanting an unborn child. 163 00:17:41,623 --> 00:17:49,616 In the reverse scenario—when the child is vaccinated following a normal birth—we observed a 9.2-fold higher risk. 164 00:17:49,616 --> 00:17:56,077 And then the worst—one of the worst outcomes we saw in the study, as in my son’s case: vaccinated and 165 00:17:56,077 --> 00:18:01,766 born by C-section, with an 18.7-fold higher risk. 166 00:18:01,766 --> 00:18:07,920 This specific research article was published in the *Journal of Translational Science* in 2021. 167 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:13,506 I would like to discuss a few other publications before returning to my own research. 168 00:18:13,506 --> 00:18:18,754 These are the findings of a study by James Lyons-Weiler and Dr. Paul Thomas. 169 00:18:18,754 --> 00:18:21,267 It was published in 2020. 170 00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:23,700 And you see something very, very similar. 171 00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:26,762 They examined the actual doctor visits. 172 00:18:26,762 --> 00:18:31,458 How many visits did these children make to Dr. Thomas’s office when they were vaccinated (red) 173 00:18:31,458 --> 00:18:34,528 compared to those who were unvaccinated (blue)? 174 00:18:34,528 --> 00:18:39,932 And were these specific conditions diagnosed during those doctor's visits? 175 00:18:39,932 --> 00:18:42,810 And once again, we saw something very, very similar. 176 00:18:42,810 --> 00:18:46,381 But you'll notice that autism is missing. 177 00:18:48,210 --> 00:18:54,411 And in fact, since the children represented by those red bars in Dr. Thomas’s practice were typically partially vaccinated, 178 00:18:54,411 --> 00:18:58,769 there weren’t enough autistic children to compile statistics. 179 00:18:58,769 --> 00:19:05,692 The rate of autism in his practice was about 1 in 250. 180 00:19:05,692 --> 00:19:10,684 Publishing this research is dangerous. It is very, very difficult. 181 00:19:10,684 --> 00:19:17,706 In this particular case, the research article was published in 2020 in a highly prestigious journal, the *International 182 00:19:17,706 --> 00:19:22,035 Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health*. 183 00:19:22,035 --> 00:19:30,620 Almost immediately after the scientific article was printed and published, Dr. Paul Thomas had his medical license revoked. 184 00:19:34,093 --> 00:19:41,008 It was an immediate suspension; he was no longer allowed to practice medicine in the state of Oregon. 185 00:19:42,808 --> 00:19:47,313 This was followed by a single anonymous complaint sent to the magazine. 186 00:19:47,313 --> 00:19:51,429 The academic article was removed in 2021. 187 00:19:51,429 --> 00:19:54,548 I was one of the original reviewers of the thesis. 188 00:19:54,548 --> 00:19:59,785 The newspaper called me and said, “Oh, we were thinking about taking down the article.” 189 00:19:59,785 --> 00:20:04,866 We are concerned that it comes from a single doctor's practice. 190 00:20:06,407 --> 00:20:14,801 "And we believe that unvaccinated children differ too much from vaccinated children to conduct a valid study." 191 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:25,401 And they lump these children, these adults—the people who question the safety and effectiveness of vaccines—into one category. 192 00:20:25,401 --> 00:20:30,231 They say: You're different, you're strange, you don't go to the doctor as often, and you 193 00:20:30,231 --> 00:20:35,585 stay home even if you have a brain hemorrhage. 194 00:20:35,585 --> 00:20:40,638 They make such absurd claims in order to discredit this type of study. 195 00:20:40,638 --> 00:20:43,952 That's exactly what they did. 196 00:20:43,952 --> 00:20:47,303 So the magazine called me, and I said, “Hello.” 197 00:20:47,303 --> 00:20:50,125 You know, I've reviewed the study. 198 00:20:50,125 --> 00:20:57,296 "I stand by my review, and I happen to know that Dr. Thomas's patients are very, very satisfied with him." 199 00:20:57,296 --> 00:21:02,834 That study focused on differences in health-conscious behavior, which implies that unvaccinated children do 200 00:21:02,834 --> 00:21:06,781 not go to the doctor—which was definitely not the case. 201 00:21:06,781 --> 00:21:11,147 Dr. Thomas’s license was thus reinstated under very strict conditions. 202 00:21:11,147 --> 00:21:13,357 He wasn't allowed to talk about vaccines. 203 00:21:13,357 --> 00:21:16,932 His First Amendment rights were taken away from him. 204 00:21:16,932 --> 00:21:21,553 He was only allowed to treat certain patients and was not allowed to participate in important decisions. 205 00:21:21,553 --> 00:21:25,784 He has filed a federal lawsuit against the Oregon Medical Board. 206 00:21:25,784 --> 00:21:29,099 I wish him every success in that endeavor. 207 00:21:31,618 --> 00:21:40,014 At the time, I was very, very proud that Dr. Lyons-Weiler, the researcher and lead author of this publication, fought back. 208 00:21:42,008 --> 00:21:51,262 In fact, he and another doctor analyzed the same data and showed that parents who received a consent form and 209 00:21:51,262 --> 00:21:58,431 clear answers from their pediatrician, Dr. Thomas, actually enjoyed going to the doctor. 210 00:21:58,431 --> 00:22:03,423 Just imagine: You get clear answers, so you go back. 211 00:22:04,989 --> 00:22:14,384 So they divided the practice into three groups: high, medium, and low use of health care services. 212 00:22:14,384 --> 00:22:17,818 When they use health care services frequently, they often go to the doctor. When they use health care 213 00:22:17,818 --> 00:22:19,923 services infrequently, they don't go to the doctor as often. 214 00:22:19,923 --> 00:22:22,384 And then there's the group in between. 215 00:22:22,384 --> 00:22:26,413 So the vaccinated group is represented by the blue line or the blue curve. 216 00:22:26,413 --> 00:22:28,843 And the unvaccinated group is the yellow line. 217 00:22:28,843 --> 00:22:33,202 I apologize for the poor readability of the slide. 218 00:22:33,202 --> 00:22:40,105 And they found that unvaccinated children consistently visited their doctor more often, regardless of whether 219 00:22:40,105 --> 00:22:43,851 they had high or moderate use of health care services. 220 00:22:43,851 --> 00:22:47,960 And the same was true for the lowest levels of health care utilization. 221 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,922 In other words: Unvaccinated children do not visit the doctor any less often when they 222 00:22:52,922 --> 00:22:56,592 see their doctor and receive clear answers. 223 00:22:56,592 --> 00:23:01,850 They want to have their baby examined. They trust their doctor. They have a good relationship. 224 00:23:01,850 --> 00:23:05,991 And that's why they go at least as often as usual. 225 00:23:08,234 --> 00:23:15,897 Now I would like to discuss a study published in 2022 by the Centers for Disease Control. 226 00:23:20,304 --> 00:23:30,327 A link has indeed been found between the aluminum salt adjuvant contained in vaccines and persistent asthma. 227 00:23:30,327 --> 00:23:35,972 The study examined vaccinations administered before 24 months of age and then asthma 228 00:23:35,972 --> 00:23:40,899 diagnosed between 24 months and five years of age. 229 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:50,679 It was found that if the child had eczema—eczema is a sign of an autoimmune disease. 230 00:23:52,468 --> 00:23:57,785 So if a child had eczema and received the highest possible dose of aluminum in 231 00:23:57,785 --> 00:24:02,533 vaccines, the risk of asthma was 63 percent higher. 232 00:24:04,447 --> 00:24:08,113 This is referred to as early-infancy or childhood asthma. 233 00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:12,218 It is diagnosed very, very early, not within a specific time frame. 234 00:24:12,218 --> 00:24:15,620 This is another sign of an autoimmune disease. 235 00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:21,431 If they had eczema, their risk was higher, especially if they received the highest vaccine dose. 236 00:24:21,431 --> 00:24:27,446 But the CDC will never include a control group with zero exposure, so it turns out that the blue bar 237 00:24:27,446 --> 00:24:33,888 here represents a high aluminum content, and the orange bar contains only slightly less aluminum. 238 00:24:33,888 --> 00:24:42,204 That's fraud—that's what you call fraud; they should have included a zero-exposure group; we would see a much clearer difference 239 00:24:42,204 --> 00:24:48,806 there if they had actually conducted a controlled study. 240 00:24:48,806 --> 00:24:55,798 If they had looked at children without eczema, those children would still have had a higher risk of asthma. 241 00:24:58,313 --> 00:25:04,965 If you have a child who shows signs of something like eczema—a condition that is clearly autoimmune—it 242 00:25:04,965 --> 00:25:10,646 makes sense to skip or postpone the vaccination schedule. 243 00:25:10,646 --> 00:25:17,521 These children were vaccinated before they were 24 months old, and the results led to an increase in asthma. 244 00:25:17,521 --> 00:25:25,381 If we break down this study further: the first two years of life—it was a monumental concession—the CDC 245 00:25:25,381 --> 00:25:32,782 never sides with those who say that vaccines cause anything other than happiness and sunshine. 246 00:25:32,782 --> 00:25:38,333 However, they acknowledged that the persistent asthma consisted of three diagnoses of 247 00:25:38,333 --> 00:25:42,967 severe asthma between the ages of two and five. 248 00:25:45,099 --> 00:25:47,474 So you've admitted it. 249 00:25:47,474 --> 00:25:56,932 Strangely enough, it was Dr. Frank DiStefano—he’s an interesting researcher—who helped cover up the link 250 00:25:56,932 --> 00:26:04,777 between vaccines and autism, which led to the film “Vaxxed.” 251 00:26:04,777 --> 00:26:11,251 He was also involved in the cover-up regarding Vietnam veterans and Agent Orange. 252 00:26:11,251 --> 00:26:21,422 So he had a history of perhaps not being entirely truthful, but he published his work and then retired. 253 00:26:21,422 --> 00:26:24,468 So that was his last word. 254 00:26:26,398 --> 00:26:29,695 Okay, are you ready for even more bar charts? 255 00:26:29,695 --> 00:26:34,695 Now let's get right to the point: here are the hard facts—the real, hard-hitting details from the 256 00:26:34,695 --> 00:26:39,710 studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. 257 00:26:39,710 --> 00:26:45,556 I want to highlight a very, very stark contrast, and I'm doing so for good reason. 258 00:26:45,556 --> 00:26:53,035 I want people to truly understand that this type of analysis—the kind conducted solely by independent researchers—does not 259 00:26:53,035 --> 00:27:01,271 come from government-funded universities, nor does it come directly from the CDC or the National Institutes of Health. 260 00:27:01,271 --> 00:27:07,115 These are independent scientists, and this is the result of their work. 261 00:27:07,115 --> 00:27:14,498 And if we publish this, we have nothing to gain; on the contrary, we could lose our livelihoods, face criminal 262 00:27:14,498 --> 00:27:20,838 charges, lose our medical licenses, and so on and so forth. 263 00:27:20,838 --> 00:27:26,552 So, in many ways, I take no pleasure in pointing out the extent of the damage—especially when doing so 264 00:27:26,552 --> 00:27:31,133 puts my livelihood and my family’s well-being at risk. 265 00:27:33,282 --> 00:27:40,975 But if you look at the study by Dr. Mawson, who once again drew on the Florida Medicaid database: 266 00:27:40,975 --> 00:27:47,959 This refers to autism spectrum disorders, hyperkinetic syndrome, ADHD, epilepsy, seizures, learning disabilities, 267 00:27:47,959 --> 00:27:55,421 encephalopathy, twitching, and at least one of the four neurological developmental disorders listed. 268 00:27:55,421 --> 00:28:04,507 The risks for learning disabilities therefore range from over 2% to over 2.5% to nearly 7%. 269 00:28:06,518 --> 00:28:11,669 He also studied premature births at the same time, and all of these risks increase—so 270 00:28:11,669 --> 00:28:15,896 we see a higher rate among premature births. 271 00:28:18,589 --> 00:28:25,137 In response, we at “Children’s Health Defense” have stepped up our efforts. 272 00:28:25,137 --> 00:28:30,592 We work directly with wonderful medical professionals—who wish to remain anonymous—who treat both 273 00:28:30,592 --> 00:28:35,298 vaccinated and unvaccinated children in their practices. 274 00:28:39,866 --> 00:28:47,922 According to the latest count, we have ten different doctors whose anonymized data we have used—these are all very, very 275 00:28:47,922 --> 00:28:59,022 secure medical practices; we store the data very, very securely and never disclose anything that could identify the patients. 276 00:28:59,022 --> 00:29:06,842 And we've seen how that number has grown to—well, that figure is outdated—we now have over 100,000 patients. 277 00:29:06,842 --> 00:29:12,162 Actually, we wouldn't have to do that at all, because the CDC has its own database that 278 00:29:12,162 --> 00:29:17,110 includes not 100,000, but three million children. 279 00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:25,124 But they don't release this data; they don't even—and I hate to say this—they don't even pass this data on to 280 00:29:25,124 --> 00:29:29,689 Minister Kennedy; they're constantly trying to hide it. 281 00:29:29,689 --> 00:29:37,074 Although they are located in different places and face various legal obstacles, in this cohort we have 4,000 282 00:29:37,074 --> 00:29:45,656 patients who have never been vaccinated, and we have followed them from birth for a minimum of four years. 283 00:29:45,656 --> 00:29:50,188 The older children in this group are between 13 and 15 years old. 284 00:29:50,188 --> 00:29:58,964 The youngest age is four years old, because we want diagnoses of developmental delays, autism, tics—whatever. 285 00:29:58,964 --> 00:30:03,461 The rest of the group consists mainly of children who have received at least one dose of the vaccine. 286 00:30:03,461 --> 00:30:12,036 That was the basis for my earlier publications, but we have expanded the group and will continue to do so. 287 00:30:14,192 --> 00:30:21,208 So, just to show you: This is brand-new; this work is being published right now. 288 00:30:21,208 --> 00:30:32,079 We've looked at neurodevelopmental disorders, we've looked at autoimmune diseases, and now we're looking at infections. 289 00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:37,685 After all, vaccines are meant to keep you healthy; they're meant to prevent infections. 290 00:30:37,685 --> 00:30:44,874 However, in this cohort, we observed that these recurrent infections were defined as at least three 291 00:30:44,874 --> 00:30:53,696 different diagnoses—over a 12-month period—during which the child was registered at this pediatric practice: 292 00:30:53,696 --> 00:31:00,796 Ear infections, respiratory illnesses, strep infections—all of these were much, much more common. 293 00:31:00,796 --> 00:31:08,564 And when we looked at the number of vaccinations administered—including those who were unvaccinated—we found that 294 00:31:08,564 --> 00:31:14,270 in the first year of life, there were one to three vaccinations; in the first year, 295 00:31:14,270 --> 00:31:18,352 four to six; six to nine; and then ten or more. 296 00:31:18,352 --> 00:31:24,310 And what you see is that, overall and in almost every case, the unvaccinated are doing much better. 297 00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:27,880 So, they're simply healthier children. 298 00:31:30,401 --> 00:31:36,236 There is a lower rate for ten or more vaccinations against respiratory diseases, and I would really 299 00:31:36,236 --> 00:31:43,888 attribute that to the fact that this happens when you vaccinate a healthy child—you just keep vaccinating. 300 00:31:43,888 --> 00:31:47,493 We call this the “Healthy Vaccinee Effect.” 301 00:31:47,493 --> 00:31:51,067 And this is the kind of information we typically see. 302 00:31:51,067 --> 00:31:54,491 We do not take this information lightly. 303 00:31:54,491 --> 00:31:57,590 And I would also like to express my willingness to: 304 00:31:57,590 --> 00:32:04,335 If vaccines prove effective, if vaccines yield better results, we want to give them the benefit of the doubt. 305 00:32:04,335 --> 00:32:13,285 It is simply our duty to ensure that we are completely fair and that we present nothing but the truth in our publications. 306 00:32:14,926 --> 00:32:21,302 Overall, then, the difference is very, very clear when we compare vaccinated and unvaccinated children. 307 00:32:21,302 --> 00:32:24,289 The vaccinated children suffer in some way. 308 00:32:24,289 --> 00:32:28,616 We don't know what specific disorder it might be. 309 00:32:28,616 --> 00:32:37,609 But we also know that the technology and tools are available to predict these specific vaccine-related injuries. 310 00:32:37,609 --> 00:32:43,427 I'm going to skip a few slides here to get straight to the conclusion. 311 00:32:43,427 --> 00:32:47,938 They therefore have fewer developmental delays and neurological diagnoses. 312 00:32:47,938 --> 00:32:54,294 They are less likely to suffer from asthma, ear infections, autoimmune diseases, allergies, respiratory infections, 313 00:32:54,294 --> 00:32:57,797 and streptococcal infections, and are generally healthier. 314 00:32:57,797 --> 00:32:59,430 So that's clear. 315 00:32:59,430 --> 00:33:06,004 We're not pulling the wool over anyone's eyes here, and we're basing our claims on 11 316 00:33:06,004 --> 00:33:12,567 independent studies that show very, very similar results. 317 00:33:12,567 --> 00:33:17,103 I have shown you the findings of Anthony Mawson of “Children’s Health Defense,” as well as 318 00:33:17,103 --> 00:33:19,870 those of James Lyons-Weiler and Paul Thomas. 319 00:33:19,870 --> 00:33:29,259 So these are just three of the research groups conducting this type of study, and we consistently observe this kind of effect, 320 00:33:29,259 --> 00:33:38,424 and as you know, this is obviously a very personal matter for me, and it is a very personal matter for many people who work 321 00:33:38,424 --> 00:33:44,806 for “Children’s Health Defense” and support the organization. 322 00:33:44,806 --> 00:33:52,387 But let me repeat: We're not trying to tell people what to do. 323 00:33:52,387 --> 00:33:59,723 We want to educate people and ensure that they have the right tools at their disposal to make an informed decision about any 324 00:33:59,723 --> 00:34:07,398 intervention, especially interventions during early childhood and during these very, very sensitive stages of development. 325 00:34:07,398 --> 00:34:09,041 Thank you very much. 326 00:34:09,041 --> 00:34:12,218 Dr. Brian Hooker, “Children’s Health Defense”
