WEBVTT 00:00.992 --> 00:05.831 Dr. Brian Hooker is the scientific director of Children’s Health Defense. 00:05.831 --> 00:10.555 Children’s Health Defense is a nonprofit organization based in the United States. 00:10.555 --> 00:17.346 Its mission is to protect the health of children worldwide, identify the causes of health problems 00:17.346 --> 00:22.281 among children, and hold those responsible to account. 00:22.281 --> 00:33.746 On April 29, 2026, Brian Hooker gave a lecture in Switzerland, moderated by AUF1 host Thomas Eglinski. 00:33.746 --> 00:40.377 A personal experience led Brian Hooker to begin exploring the topic of vaccinations in 00:40.377 --> 00:45.525 relation to chronic childhood illnesses 28 years ago. 00:45.525 --> 00:53.149 Even back then, he had noted that the number of chronically ill children worldwide had risen significantly. 00:53.149 --> 00:59.375 Today, one in five children in the United States has a developmental disorder. 00:59.375 --> 01:07.315 His scientific studies—in which he compares vaccinated and unvaccinated children with regard to chronic 01:07.315 --> 01:16.811 diseases—as well as similar studies by his colleagues, are routinely rejected for publication by medical journals. 01:16.811 --> 01:19.429 This raises the question: 01:19.429 --> 01:25.806 Why are these very elaborate vaccine studies being categorically suppressed by highly professional experts in their 01:25.806 --> 01:29.823 field, and why are the dramatic connections being kept secret? 01:29.823 --> 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? 01:36.469 --> 01:48.033 Learn more about Brian Hooker's scientific work and the shocking findings of his scientific studies in this presentation. 01:48.033 --> 01:55.905 So, let's get started. I'm the scientific director of Children's Health Defense. 01:55.905 --> 02:03.695 I started working for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. around 2015. 02:05.796 --> 02:12.070 And in 2021, he was finally hired directly by Children's Health Defense. 02:17.773 --> 02:22.218 I have a child who was harmed by a vaccination. 02:24.093 --> 02:33.288 When my son was 15 months old, he received three vaccinations while he had an active ear infection. 02:33.288 --> 02:43.302 As a result, he very, very quickly developed neurological developmental disorders. He was diagnosed with autism. 02:43.302 --> 02:48.736 So back then, 28 years ago, I noticed that the number of sick children in the United 02:48.736 --> 02:53.859 States—and, in fact, worldwide—had risen significantly. 02:58.523 --> 03:06.851 Today, one in six children—now one in five—in the United States has a developmental disorder. 03:06.851 --> 03:13.522 At least one in 31 children has autism or has been diagnosed with autism. 03:13.522 --> 03:17.239 In my home state of California, it's one in 19 children. 03:17.239 --> 03:22.268 In Los Angeles, in Los Angeles County, it is now one in ten boys. 03:22.268 --> 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. 03:30.455 --> 03:37.925 As a result, 30% of African American boys in Los Angeles County are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. 03:37.925 --> 03:45.057 All of these case numbers have risen since the late 1980s and early 1990s. 03:47.162 --> 03:52.703 We also know that mainstream doctors, pharmaceutical representatives, and government officials very 03:52.703 --> 03:58.696 often tell us that vaccine injuries are rare—that they occur in only one out of a million cases. 03:58.696 --> 04:04.972 Only one in a million people have a reaction to the vaccine. But that's not true. 04:04.972 --> 04:11.636 We know that the CDC commissioned a study in 2010. 04:11.636 --> 04:19.945 In this study, they analyzed 1.4 million vaccinations administered over a three-year period. 04:19.945 --> 04:24.984 Of these, 35,000 were potentially serious side effects. 04:24.984 --> 04:30.991 So for me, that's not one in a million, but 35,000 out of a million, which is a 04:30.991 --> 04:35.545 completely different number. Or it's about 2.6%. 04:35.545 --> 04:42.310 And when you also take into account that people receive more than one dose of the vaccine—since that original 04:42.310 --> 04:48.936 figure referred to a single dose—the probability of vaccine-related injury rises to 10%. 04:48.936 --> 04:52.336 So this is potentially serious. 04:54.053 --> 05:00.831 The CDC more or less refused to continue funding the study, and it was not renewed. 05:00.831 --> 05:05.700 That would have automatically triggered our adverse event reporting system. 05:05.700 --> 05:12.763 But instead of looking to the future and truly understanding vaccine-related injuries, they chose not to do so. 05:16.345 --> 05:22.241 What happens when we compare vaccinated and unvaccinated children? 05:22.241 --> 05:27.615 We already know that the CDC simply didn't want to know this information. 05:27.615 --> 05:34.599 They cut off all contact with these researchers. They did not respond to their emails or their phone calls. 05:34.599 --> 05:42.476 But in 2017, I began examining the outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children. 05:46.329 --> 05:52.198 If a child receives even one vaccination, they are considered vaccinated. If a child does not receive 05:52.198 --> 05:58.094 any vaccinations, they are considered unvaccinated. 05:58.094 --> 06:04.122 In the following slides, we will distinguish between vaccinated and unvaccinated children. 06:04.122 --> 06:09.065 So these are not necessarily children who have been fully vaccinated; rather, having received even 06:09.065 --> 06:12.916 one or more doses makes them vaccinated children. 06:12.916 --> 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. 06:22.265 --> 06:30.233 The red bars represent the vaccinated children. The blue bars represent the unvaccinated children. 06:30.233 --> 06:39.467 And you can see that allergic rhinitis—that is, nasal allergies—is consistently 30 times more common in the vaccinated group. 06:41.193 --> 06:45.688 And, by and large, these were children who had received at least one dose of the vaccine. 06:45.688 --> 06:50.319 In this sample, these happened to be children who were homeschooled. 06:50.319 --> 06:57.626 If we then look at the other conditions we examined, they were, by and large, autoimmune diseases or developmental 06:57.626 --> 07:06.638 disorders, which occurred between 3.9 and about 5 times more frequently among vaccinated children. 07:06.638 --> 07:10.356 It gives me hope to see that more and more people are coming. 07:10.356 --> 07:18.361 The more people there are in this small room, the hotter it gets, but families who sweat together stick together. 07:18.361 --> 07:25.963 In the same study, the researchers examined actual infections among vaccinated children compared to unvaccinated children. 07:25.963 --> 07:31.107 And they found that cases of pneumonia were about five times as common. 07:31.107 --> 07:37.660 These were cases of pneumonia that generally required hospitalization. 07:37.660 --> 07:42.613 In addition, about 20% of all vaccinated children suffered from chronic ear infections, 07:42.613 --> 07:47.520 compared with less than 6% of unvaccinated children. 07:47.520 --> 07:55.317 We know that not all babies are born the same. Okay, some babies are born less healthy than others. 07:55.317 --> 08:03.242 In this case, the researchers studied premature births. In other words, the subjects were premature infants. 08:03.242 --> 08:07.339 And they compared vaccinated children with unvaccinated children. 08:09.718 --> 08:18.557 So if they were vaccinated and born prematurely, their risk of developing a neurodevelopmental disorder—such as autism, tics, 08:18.557 --> 08:29.038 ADHD, an autism spectrum disorder, or Asperger’s syndrome—was 14.5 times higher than that of full-term, unvaccinated children. 08:35.725 --> 08:42.546 Within the same group of individuals, the likelihood of receiving this diagnosis was 2.7 times higher among 08:42.546 --> 08:49.080 full-term, vaccinated children than among unvaccinated children. 08:49.080 --> 09:02.122 Okay, in order to publish this kind of research in established scientific or medical journals, we need contacts. 09:02.122 --> 09:07.928 That's a very, very difficult process. We call it a contact sport. 09:07.928 --> 09:17.299 This research article was initially accepted for publication in a journal titled “Frontiers in Public Health.” 09:17.299 --> 09:25.026 As soon as it was accepted and only the abstract of the article was published, it caused quite a stir. 09:25.026 --> 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. 09:38.151 --> 09:47.338 Ultimately, the paper was removed from *Frontiers in Pediatrics* that afternoon—on Monday afternoon after the weekend. 09:47.338 --> 09:53.373 They said, “We haven’t retracted the article. We hadn’t finished the review yet.” 09:53.373 --> 09:58.731 Yes, that's right. We hadn't finished the review yet. And we checked it again. 09:58.731 --> 10:04.171 "And this time, we decided to reject the article." 10:04.171 --> 10:07.868 Fortunately, this article has been republished. 10:07.868 --> 10:12.022 It was published in a more independent academic journal. 10:12.022 --> 10:22.697 But the whole process ended with the first author, Anthony Mawson, being suspended from his university at that time. 10:22.697 --> 10:27.092 At least the study was published. 10:27.092 --> 10:38.576 Then, in 2020, I teamed up with medical journalist Neil Miller, and we had already begun this study in early 2018. 10:38.576 --> 10:44.073 We studied children who were vaccinated during their first year of life and compared them to children who 10:44.073 --> 10:47.993 were not vaccinated during their first year of life. 10:47.993 --> 10:53.527 So at that point, we were only looking at infant vaccinations, which amounted to about 24 10:53.527 --> 10:58.516 vaccinations—the difference between the two groups. 10:58.516 --> 11:04.357 But as with the Mawson study, most of our vaccinated children were not fully vaccinated. 11:04.357 --> 11:09.692 On average, they received 8 to 9 vaccinations during their first year of life. 11:09.692 --> 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 11:18.741 --> 11:26.676 or 7 vaccinations at once—developmental delays were twice as common, and asthma occurred 4.5 times more frequently 11:26.676 --> 11:31.456 in the vaccinated group than in the unvaccinated group. 11:31.456 --> 11:35.530 Please note that these red bars represent only partially vaccinated children. 11:35.530 --> 11:43.108 Ear infections also occurred twice as often in the vaccinated group as in the unvaccinated group. 11:43.108 --> 11:51.158 And when we began studying gastrointestinal disorders, we observed something that was very similar to developmental delays. 11:51.158 --> 11:53.628 I found that very interesting: 11:53.628 --> 11:59.161 Vaccinated children had 2.5 times as many cases of gastrointestinal illness as unvaccinated children. 11:59.161 --> 12:04.880 It was really hard to get this scientific article published. 12:04.880 --> 12:13.389 Okay, so we submitted this article to five different prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals. 12:13.389 --> 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. 12:21.471 --> 12:29.292 But tellingly, they rejected the work within 24 hours of its submission. 12:29.292 --> 12:36.365 In fact, one reviewer wrote: “Brian Hooker is an anti-vaxxer, period; I reject this research article.” 12:36.365 --> 12:41.124 So it was an attack on me, not an attack on the work. 12:41.124 --> 12:45.138 Finally, we found the journal “SAGE Open Medicine.” 12:45.138 --> 12:53.310 And usually, scientific journals review an article once and then either accept or reject it. 12:53.310 --> 12:59.444 Okay, in this case, there were four different reviewers who reviewed the article three separate times 12:59.444 --> 13:04.088 over an 11-month period and provided comments each time. 13:04.088 --> 13:09.007 So it took longer to write this article than it does to carry a child to term. 13:09.007 --> 13:16.586 The article was eventually accepted by SAGE and published in May 2020, just in time for the pandemic. 13:16.586 --> 13:24.616 And it has been viewed or downloaded about 300,000 times. It's a very, very popular article. 13:24.616 --> 13:30.456 About every five to six months, I receive an email from the magazine in which someone complains 13:30.456 --> 13:33.809 about the article and demands that it be removed. 13:33.809 --> 13:38.897 Even now, six years later, they still hold on to us. 13:40.827 --> 13:49.473 That was an important milestone, because not only is it a significant article in an important journal, but the journal was 13:49.473 --> 13:56.489 also indexed in the National Library of Medicine of the U.S. National Institutes of Health —vaccine 13:56.489 --> 14:05.259 advocates, scientists, executives, doctors, whoever they may be, keep trying to have it removed. 14:05.259 --> 14:12.182 We didn't let that deter us; we began a new study, which was published in 2021. 14:14.844 --> 14:22.890 We doubled the size of our cohort—that is, the group of children studied—compared to the original study. 14:22.890 --> 14:30.005 Now let's compare fully vaccinated patients who followed the vaccination schedule with patients who are completely 14:30.005 --> 14:34.615 unvaccinated, and when we do that, our red bars get bigger. 14:34.615 --> 14:44.689 So we're looking at allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, asthma, autism, ADHD, and chronic ear infections. 14:44.689 --> 14:51.700 Some of these differences: Chronic ear infections are nearly 28 times more common in the vaccinated group—the 14:51.700 --> 14:56.760 fully vaccinated group—than in the unvaccinated group. 14:56.760 --> 15:02.978 ADHD: One in ten children in the United States has been diagnosed with ADHD, a condition that is 20 times more 15:02.978 --> 15:08.040 common in the vaccinated group than in the unvaccinated group. 15:09.825 --> 15:15.685 We have also gained some interesting insights into autism. 15:15.685 --> 15:21.310 When we looked at the children—whether they were breastfed or not, and whether they had been vaccinated 15:21.310 --> 15:25.329 or not—we noticed something very, very interesting. 15:25.329 --> 15:28.900 The lowest risk was among unvaccinated children. 15:28.900 --> 15:34.664 This applied to all vaccinations, regardless of whether they were administered before or after the child's first birthday. 15:34.664 --> 15:37.768 So they didn't receive any vaccinations at all. 15:37.768 --> 15:41.488 If they had been breastfed, their risk was lowest. 15:41.488 --> 15:47.464 Among unvaccinated children who were bottle-fed or fed infant formula, the likelihood of 15:47.464 --> 15:52.116 receiving an autism diagnosis was 2.5 times higher. 15:52.116 --> 15:56.883 If they had been vaccinated and breastfed—that is, the opposite—the likelihood of 15:56.883 --> 16:00.640 receiving an autism diagnosis was 6.7 times higher. 16:00.640 --> 16:06.850 And finally, those who fared the worst—with a 12.5-fold increased risk—were the ones who had been vaccinated. 16:06.850 --> 16:10.384 These are fully vaccinated children who were not breastfed. 16:10.384 --> 16:17.398 And we have defined “breastfed” as follows: For a child to be considered breastfed, it must have received breast milk regularly 16:17.398 --> 16:22.488 for a period of at least six months. Before its second birthday. 16:25.370 --> 16:30.179 Of course, I know that children are sometimes born into difficult situations. 16:30.179 --> 16:36.159 I understand the challenges involved in breastfeeding consistently. 16:36.159 --> 16:41.593 In addition, we want to compare vaccinated and unvaccinated children and take into account the type of 16:41.593 --> 16:46.432 delivery—whether it was a vaginal birth or a cesarean section. 16:46.432 --> 16:52.525 Here, too, I realize that there are certain emergency situations in which it is very, very difficult. 16:52.525 --> 16:59.226 It is a very difficult decision for a family to opt for a cesarean section. 16:59.226 --> 17:03.732 The most important thing for one's health is to have a healthy, living child. 17:03.732 --> 17:06.532 I completely understand that. 17:08.382 --> 17:13.772 But once again, the lowest risk is among unvaccinated children born through normal delivery. 17:13.772 --> 17:20.862 The likelihood of an autism diagnosis is 4.6 times higher following a cesarean section. 17:20.862 --> 17:24.172 And that is the hygiene hypothesis. 17:24.172 --> 17:29.926 During a vaginal birth, extensive colonization by essential microbes takes place. 17:29.926 --> 17:32.905 In the case of a C-section, these are not replenished. 17:32.905 --> 17:36.555 So it has become clear that this is very, very important. 17:36.555 --> 17:41.623 There are alternatives to a cesarean section for implanting an unborn child. 17:41.623 --> 17:49.616 In the reverse scenario—when the child is vaccinated following a normal birth—we observed a 9.2-fold higher risk. 17:49.616 --> 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 17:56.077 --> 18:01.766 born by C-section, with an 18.7-fold higher risk. 18:01.766 --> 18:07.920 This specific research article was published in the *Journal of Translational Science* in 2021. 18:07.920 --> 18:13.506 I would like to discuss a few other publications before returning to my own research. 18:13.506 --> 18:18.754 These are the findings of a study by James Lyons-Weiler and Dr. Paul Thomas. 18:18.754 --> 18:21.267 It was published in 2020. 18:21.267 --> 18:23.700 And you see something very, very similar. 18:23.700 --> 18:26.762 They examined the actual doctor visits. 18:26.762 --> 18:31.458 How many visits did these children make to Dr. Thomas’s office when they were vaccinated (red) 18:31.458 --> 18:34.528 compared to those who were unvaccinated (blue)? 18:34.528 --> 18:39.932 And were these specific conditions diagnosed during those doctor's visits? 18:39.932 --> 18:42.810 And once again, we saw something very, very similar. 18:42.810 --> 18:46.381 But you'll notice that autism is missing. 18:48.210 --> 18:54.411 And in fact, since the children represented by those red bars in Dr. Thomas’s practice were typically partially vaccinated, 18:54.411 --> 18:58.769 there weren’t enough autistic children to compile statistics. 18:58.769 --> 19:05.692 The rate of autism in his practice was about 1 in 250. 19:05.692 --> 19:10.684 Publishing this research is dangerous. It is very, very difficult. 19:10.684 --> 19:17.706 In this particular case, the research article was published in 2020 in a highly prestigious journal, the *International 19:17.706 --> 19:22.035 Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health*. 19:22.035 --> 19:30.620 Almost immediately after the scientific article was printed and published, Dr. Paul Thomas had his medical license revoked. 19:34.093 --> 19:41.008 It was an immediate suspension; he was no longer allowed to practice medicine in the state of Oregon. 19:42.808 --> 19:47.313 This was followed by a single anonymous complaint sent to the magazine. 19:47.313 --> 19:51.429 The academic article was removed in 2021. 19:51.429 --> 19:54.548 I was one of the original reviewers of the thesis. 19:54.548 --> 19:59.785 The newspaper called me and said, “Oh, we were thinking about taking down the article.” 19:59.785 --> 20:04.866 We are concerned that it comes from a single doctor's practice. 20:06.407 --> 20:14.801 "And we believe that unvaccinated children differ too much from vaccinated children to conduct a valid study." 20:17.000 --> 20:25.401 And they lump these children, these adults—the people who question the safety and effectiveness of vaccines—into one category. 20:25.401 --> 20:30.231 They say: You're different, you're strange, you don't go to the doctor as often, and you 20:30.231 --> 20:35.585 stay home even if you have a brain hemorrhage. 20:35.585 --> 20:40.638 They make such absurd claims in order to discredit this type of study. 20:40.638 --> 20:43.952 That's exactly what they did. 20:43.952 --> 20:47.303 So the magazine called me, and I said, “Hello.” 20:47.303 --> 20:50.125 You know, I've reviewed the study. 20:50.125 --> 20:57.296 "I stand by my review, and I happen to know that Dr. Thomas's patients are very, very satisfied with him." 20:57.296 --> 21:02.834 That study focused on differences in health-conscious behavior, which implies that unvaccinated children do 21:02.834 --> 21:06.781 not go to the doctor—which was definitely not the case. 21:06.781 --> 21:11.147 Dr. Thomas’s license was thus reinstated under very strict conditions. 21:11.147 --> 21:13.357 He wasn't allowed to talk about vaccines. 21:13.357 --> 21:16.932 His First Amendment rights were taken away from him. 21:16.932 --> 21:21.553 He was only allowed to treat certain patients and was not allowed to participate in important decisions. 21:21.553 --> 21:25.784 He has filed a federal lawsuit against the Oregon Medical Board. 21:25.784 --> 21:29.099 I wish him every success in that endeavor. 21:31.618 --> 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. 21:42.008 --> 21:51.262 In fact, he and another doctor analyzed the same data and showed that parents who received a consent form and 21:51.262 --> 21:58.431 clear answers from their pediatrician, Dr. Thomas, actually enjoyed going to the doctor. 21:58.431 --> 22:03.423 Just imagine: You get clear answers, so you go back. 22:04.989 --> 22:14.384 So they divided the practice into three groups: high, medium, and low use of health care services. 22:14.384 --> 22:17.818 When they use health care services frequently, they often go to the doctor. When they use health care 22:17.818 --> 22:19.923 services infrequently, they don't go to the doctor as often. 22:19.923 --> 22:22.384 And then there's the group in between. 22:22.384 --> 22:26.413 So the vaccinated group is represented by the blue line or the blue curve. 22:26.413 --> 22:28.843 And the unvaccinated group is the yellow line. 22:28.843 --> 22:33.202 I apologize for the poor readability of the slide. 22:33.202 --> 22:40.105 And they found that unvaccinated children consistently visited their doctor more often, regardless of whether 22:40.105 --> 22:43.851 they had high or moderate use of health care services. 22:43.851 --> 22:47.960 And the same was true for the lowest levels of health care utilization. 22:47.960 --> 22:52.922 In other words: Unvaccinated children do not visit the doctor any less often when they 22:52.922 --> 22:56.592 see their doctor and receive clear answers. 22:56.592 --> 23:01.850 They want to have their baby examined. They trust their doctor. They have a good relationship. 23:01.850 --> 23:05.991 And that's why they go at least as often as usual. 23:08.234 --> 23:15.897 Now I would like to discuss a study published in 2022 by the Centers for Disease Control. 23:20.304 --> 23:30.327 A link has indeed been found between the aluminum salt adjuvant contained in vaccines and persistent asthma. 23:30.327 --> 23:35.972 The study examined vaccinations administered before 24 months of age and then asthma 23:35.972 --> 23:40.899 diagnosed between 24 months and five years of age. 23:42.640 --> 23:50.679 It was found that if the child had eczema—eczema is a sign of an autoimmune disease. 23:52.468 --> 23:57.785 So if a child had eczema and received the highest possible dose of aluminum in 23:57.785 --> 24:02.533 vaccines, the risk of asthma was 63 percent higher. 24:04.447 --> 24:08.113 This is referred to as early-infancy or childhood asthma. 24:08.113 --> 24:12.218 It is diagnosed very, very early, not within a specific time frame. 24:12.218 --> 24:15.620 This is another sign of an autoimmune disease. 24:15.620 --> 24:21.431 If they had eczema, their risk was higher, especially if they received the highest vaccine dose. 24:21.431 --> 24:27.446 But the CDC will never include a control group with zero exposure, so it turns out that the blue bar 24:27.446 --> 24:33.888 here represents a high aluminum content, and the orange bar contains only slightly less aluminum. 24:33.888 --> 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 24:42.204 --> 24:48.806 there if they had actually conducted a controlled study. 24:48.806 --> 24:55.798 If they had looked at children without eczema, those children would still have had a higher risk of asthma. 24:58.313 --> 25:04.965 If you have a child who shows signs of something like eczema—a condition that is clearly autoimmune—it 25:04.965 --> 25:10.646 makes sense to skip or postpone the vaccination schedule. 25:10.646 --> 25:17.521 These children were vaccinated before they were 24 months old, and the results led to an increase in asthma. 25:17.521 --> 25:25.381 If we break down this study further: the first two years of life—it was a monumental concession—the CDC 25:25.381 --> 25:32.782 never sides with those who say that vaccines cause anything other than happiness and sunshine. 25:32.782 --> 25:38.333 However, they acknowledged that the persistent asthma consisted of three diagnoses of 25:38.333 --> 25:42.967 severe asthma between the ages of two and five. 25:45.099 --> 25:47.474 So you've admitted it. 25:47.474 --> 25:56.932 Strangely enough, it was Dr. Frank DiStefano—he’s an interesting researcher—who helped cover up the link 25:56.932 --> 26:04.777 between vaccines and autism, which led to the film “Vaxxed.” 26:04.777 --> 26:11.251 He was also involved in the cover-up regarding Vietnam veterans and Agent Orange. 26:11.251 --> 26:21.422 So he had a history of perhaps not being entirely truthful, but he published his work and then retired. 26:21.422 --> 26:24.468 So that was his last word. 26:26.398 --> 26:29.695 Okay, are you ready for even more bar charts? 26:29.695 --> 26:34.695 Now let's get right to the point: here are the hard facts—the real, hard-hitting details from the 26:34.695 --> 26:39.710 studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. 26:39.710 --> 26:45.556 I want to highlight a very, very stark contrast, and I'm doing so for good reason. 26:45.556 --> 26:53.035 I want people to truly understand that this type of analysis—the kind conducted solely by independent researchers—does not 26:53.035 --> 27:01.271 come from government-funded universities, nor does it come directly from the CDC or the National Institutes of Health. 27:01.271 --> 27:07.115 These are independent scientists, and this is the result of their work. 27:07.115 --> 27:14.498 And if we publish this, we have nothing to gain; on the contrary, we could lose our livelihoods, face criminal 27:14.498 --> 27:20.838 charges, lose our medical licenses, and so on and so forth. 27:20.838 --> 27:26.552 So, in many ways, I take no pleasure in pointing out the extent of the damage—especially when doing so 27:26.552 --> 27:31.133 puts my livelihood and my family’s well-being at risk. 27:33.282 --> 27:40.975 But if you look at the study by Dr. Mawson, who once again drew on the Florida Medicaid database: 27:40.975 --> 27:47.959 This refers to autism spectrum disorders, hyperkinetic syndrome, ADHD, epilepsy, seizures, learning disabilities, 27:47.959 --> 27:55.421 encephalopathy, twitching, and at least one of the four neurological developmental disorders listed. 27:55.421 --> 28:04.507 The risks for learning disabilities therefore range from over 2% to over 2.5% to nearly 7%. 28:06.518 --> 28:11.669 He also studied premature births at the same time, and all of these risks increase—so 28:11.669 --> 28:15.896 we see a higher rate among premature births. 28:18.589 --> 28:25.137 In response, we at “Children’s Health Defense” have stepped up our efforts. 28:25.137 --> 28:30.592 We work directly with wonderful medical professionals—who wish to remain anonymous—who treat both 28:30.592 --> 28:35.298 vaccinated and unvaccinated children in their practices. 28:39.866 --> 28:47.922 According to the latest count, we have ten different doctors whose anonymized data we have used—these are all very, very 28:47.922 --> 28:59.022 secure medical practices; we store the data very, very securely and never disclose anything that could identify the patients. 28:59.022 --> 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. 29:06.842 --> 29:12.162 Actually, we wouldn't have to do that at all, because the CDC has its own database that 29:12.162 --> 29:17.110 includes not 100,000, but three million children. 29:17.110 --> 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 29:25.124 --> 29:29.689 Minister Kennedy; they're constantly trying to hide it. 29:29.689 --> 29:37.074 Although they are located in different places and face various legal obstacles, in this cohort we have 4,000 29:37.074 --> 29:45.656 patients who have never been vaccinated, and we have followed them from birth for a minimum of four years. 29:45.656 --> 29:50.188 The older children in this group are between 13 and 15 years old. 29:50.188 --> 29:58.964 The youngest age is four years old, because we want diagnoses of developmental delays, autism, tics—whatever. 29:58.964 --> 30:03.461 The rest of the group consists mainly of children who have received at least one dose of the vaccine. 30:03.461 --> 30:12.036 That was the basis for my earlier publications, but we have expanded the group and will continue to do so. 30:14.192 --> 30:21.208 So, just to show you: This is brand-new; this work is being published right now. 30:21.208 --> 30:32.079 We've looked at neurodevelopmental disorders, we've looked at autoimmune diseases, and now we're looking at infections. 30:32.079 --> 30:37.685 After all, vaccines are meant to keep you healthy; they're meant to prevent infections. 30:37.685 --> 30:44.874 However, in this cohort, we observed that these recurrent infections were defined as at least three 30:44.874 --> 30:53.696 different diagnoses—over a 12-month period—during which the child was registered at this pediatric practice: 30:53.696 --> 31:00.796 Ear infections, respiratory illnesses, strep infections—all of these were much, much more common. 31:00.796 --> 31:08.564 And when we looked at the number of vaccinations administered—including those who were unvaccinated—we found that 31:08.564 --> 31:14.270 in the first year of life, there were one to three vaccinations; in the first year, 31:14.270 --> 31:18.352 four to six; six to nine; and then ten or more. 31:18.352 --> 31:24.310 And what you see is that, overall and in almost every case, the unvaccinated are doing much better. 31:24.310 --> 31:27.880 So, they're simply healthier children. 31:30.401 --> 31:36.236 There is a lower rate for ten or more vaccinations against respiratory diseases, and I would really 31:36.236 --> 31:43.888 attribute that to the fact that this happens when you vaccinate a healthy child—you just keep vaccinating. 31:43.888 --> 31:47.493 We call this the “Healthy Vaccinee Effect.” 31:47.493 --> 31:51.067 And this is the kind of information we typically see. 31:51.067 --> 31:54.491 We do not take this information lightly. 31:54.491 --> 31:57.590 And I would also like to express my willingness to: 31:57.590 --> 32:04.335 If vaccines prove effective, if vaccines yield better results, we want to give them the benefit of the doubt. 32:04.335 --> 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. 32:14.926 --> 32:21.302 Overall, then, the difference is very, very clear when we compare vaccinated and unvaccinated children. 32:21.302 --> 32:24.289 The vaccinated children suffer in some way. 32:24.289 --> 32:28.616 We don't know what specific disorder it might be. 32:28.616 --> 32:37.609 But we also know that the technology and tools are available to predict these specific vaccine-related injuries. 32:37.609 --> 32:43.427 I'm going to skip a few slides here to get straight to the conclusion. 32:43.427 --> 32:47.938 They therefore have fewer developmental delays and neurological diagnoses. 32:47.938 --> 32:54.294 They are less likely to suffer from asthma, ear infections, autoimmune diseases, allergies, respiratory infections, 32:54.294 --> 32:57.797 and streptococcal infections, and are generally healthier. 32:57.797 --> 32:59.430 So that's clear. 32:59.430 --> 33:06.004 We're not pulling the wool over anyone's eyes here, and we're basing our claims on 11 33:06.004 --> 33:12.567 independent studies that show very, very similar results. 33:12.567 --> 33:17.103 I have shown you the findings of Anthony Mawson of “Children’s Health Defense,” as well as 33:17.103 --> 33:19.870 those of James Lyons-Weiler and Paul Thomas. 33:19.870 --> 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, 33:29.259 --> 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 33:38.424 --> 33:44.806 for “Children’s Health Defense” and support the organization. 33:44.806 --> 33:52.387 But let me repeat: We're not trying to tell people what to do. 33:52.387 --> 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 33:59.723 --> 34:07.398 intervention, especially interventions during early childhood and during these very, very sensitive stages of development. 34:07.398 --> 34:09.041 Thank you very much. 34:09.041 --> 34:12.218 Dr. Brian Hooker, “Children’s Health Defense”
