Vax-Unvax Let The Science Speak
Note: Join us in congratulating Dr. Hooker and Robert Kennedy, Jr. on their forthcoming book, available NOW from Skyhorse Publishing. The post below is from Children's Health Defense. As ever, Age of Autism does not endorse political candidates for any office.
By Dr. Brian Hooker
‘Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak’ — Why RFK Jr. and I Wrote This Book
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has never compared the health outcomes of vaccinated children to completely unvaccinated children, and the agency won’t give independent researchers access to government data to complete such a study. In “Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Brian S. Hooker, Ph.D., provide a compendium of more than 70 studies comparing health outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated adults and children.
In May 2017, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was invited to meet with Dr. Francis Collins and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Accompanying Kennedy to the meeting were Del Bigtree, Informed Consent Action Network founder, attorney Aaron Siri and Lyn Redwood, R.N., MSN, president emerita of Children’s Health Defense (CHD).
Several other U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials in the executive offices of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) accompanied Collins and Fauci.
For many years, Kennedy — CHD founder and chairman on leave — and many others had pointed out that HHS had not completed inert placebo-controlled vaccine safety trials to validate the inoculations given as a part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommended child and adolescent immunization schedule.
This type of comparative trial is the gold standard in evaluating the safety of all types of pharmaceutical products.
When Kennedy asked Fauci to produce just one placebo-controlled study regarding the 16 vaccines comprising the vaccination schedule, Fauci made quite a commotion, rifling through a series of Redweld file folders rolled in on a cart from the NIH archives.
Finally, in what appeared to be feigned exasperation, Fauci gave up and said he would send the studies in question to the meeting participants.
Of course, he never did.
Both Kennedy and Bigtree gave the HHS many opportunities to produce placebo-controlled studies evaluating childhood vaccine safety — but the agency never produced the studies.
Kennedy asked for them directly in a series of emails to Collins finally to be rebuffed in a curt and dismissive letter from Collins, sent in August 2017. So sweeping was the commitment against placebo-controlled trials for vaccine safety that six additional NIH officials signed the letter, which was also sent to Jared Kushner, senior adviser to then-President Donald Trump.
The NIH officials seemed proud of their commitment to sweeping vaccine safety issues under the rug.
Bigtree also sent a letter to HHS asking for placebo-controlled vaccine safety studies and the biennial reports required by Congress regarding improvements in vaccine safety according to the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.

After being similarly rebuffed by the agency, Bigtree submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for the latter information. After suing HHS in Federal Court, in a case represented by Kennedy and Siri, Bigtree finally received the concession on June 27, 2018:
“The [Department]’s searches for records did not locate any records responsive to your request. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Immediate Office of the Secretary (IOS) conducted a thorough search of its document tracking systems.
“The Department also conducted a comprehensive review of all relevant indexes of HHS Secretarial Correspondence records maintained at Federal Records Centers that remain in the custody of HHS.
“These searches did not locate records responsive to your request, or indications that records responsive to your request and in the custody of HHS are located at Federal Records Centers.”
Kennedy didn’t stop there, however. In 2019, he reached out to me in an effort to search the scientific and medical literature for any published research study where the health outcomes of vaccinated individuals were compared to those of unvaccinated individuals.
For each study identified, we assembled easy-to-understand graphics with key quotes taken directly from the publication.
Kennedy wanted the studies to speak for themselves with minimal commentary. He posted the results of this work on his Instagram account in real time. Over a nearly two-year period, we highlighted more than 70 studies, including some that intentionally made the comparison and some in which the comparison was unintentional.
After Kennedy was de-platformed from Instagram in 2021, we realized that what we had assembled was an important compendium of information that needed to be shared in book form.
An additional 30 studies were found through the COVID-19 era and the book “Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak” will be released Aug. 29 by Skyhorse Publishing. Click here to order your copy today.
This book is important for laypersons, practitioners, scientists and others to get an overview of studies where actual unvaccinated cohorts are used as control groups.
Most of the studies featured in the book are indexed in PubMed, the NIH National Library of Medicine. These are the studies that the CDC refused to do.
The CDC has the ability to compare vaccinated versus unvaccinated children with its private database, the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD). The VSD consists of records from more than 10 million individuals, including 2 million children — a portion of whom are unvaccinated.
Yet the CDC has never compared the health outcomes of vaccinated children to completely unvaccinated children — and the agency won’t give independent researchers access to the VSD to complete such a study.
That is why Kennedy and I produced this compendium of studies — to expose to the public the real science behind the vaccination schedule, including the COVID-19 vaccine.
The Defender on occasion posts content related to Children’s Health Defense’s nonprofit mission that features Mr. Kennedy’s views on the issues CHD and The Defender regularly cover. In keeping with Federal Election Commission rules, this content does not represent an endorsement of Mr. Kennedy, who is on leave from CHD and is seeking the Democratic nomination for president of the U.S.
KT from CA,
Thank you for your kind words of support…nice to wake up to this morning :)
You are correct in noticing that I have done far less writing and speaking the last few years. I do still post comments, here at AoA, occasionally on Steve Kirsch’s blog, on Jeff Childers’ Coffee and Covid blog, and just recently, on A Midwestern Doctor’s blog. My most-recent article was written in August 2020, “The Catastrophic Costs of Complying”:
https://www.ageofautism.com/2020/08/the-catastrophic-costs-of-complying.html
And here is a link to a listing of my publicly-available work:
https://www.ageofautism.com/exclusives.html
I am grateful to have my previous work available here at AoA, as it is still, unfortunately, very relevant, as things have gotten worse, not better, despite the years of hard work by so many of us. In any event, onward we march!

Hi Laura,
a commenter on Steve Kirsch's blog mentioned you and one of your speeches you gave in Sacramento, CA. Laura Hayes' Powerful Speech : NO ON SB277 Sacramento at The Capitol on April 8, 2015
https://youtu.be/7WWEiEPUWSU
Love your statements at 5m25s
"Vaccines are the leading cause of 'coincidences' in the world."
"And I look around and see that vaccine injuries are not rare, they're everywhere. "
Can I ask why I haven't seen any further speeches from you since 2018?
What have done to stop your children from being vaccinated by the covid vaccines?
Why haven't you participated in Steve Kirsch's substack comments, or been more vocal against the covid vaccines? https://kirschsubstack.com/p/why-you-cant-trust-the-us-government/comments
I am guessing you must think that the entire covid campaign is anti-human. Just wondering, your speeches are wonderful. Thank you for all your hardwork.

Laura--you nailed it! Peggy you put a ribbon around it or coffin. Thank you and to all who see it clearly. Kennedy is trying to have his cake and eat it too. Vaccinations--Jabs whatever you want to call it is a religious belief quite willing to sacrifice children or whomever need to placed on that altar.

Excellent comments, Laura and Peggy!
I am so grateful for you both! Your integrity and persistence in telling the truth and calling out the lies has kept me inspired to continue in this fight. I have watched RFK, Jr. for decades now and I get nauseous whenever he proclaims that he is "fiercely pro-vaccine"! He has supported several candidates, such as Hillary Clinton, that are openly pro-mandate.

Peggy and Laura
I don't disagree with you. We all have the freedom to follow the Constitution, but currently, for many there is a higher price to pay thanks to our current laws and regulations. My family survived the lock downs just fine because we have no debt. Family members who were employed were ready to quit their job in order to refuse the jab. One did quit and signed up for an online certificate program in his field of interest. The other two were allowed to work from home and one was able to keep his job using a religious exemption. I career long job at the beginning of lock downs because saw the writing on the wall as far as America's economic future and began building a prepper pantry and started cooking 3 meals/day from scratch. My spouse lost his original career long job because he could not travel internationally at that time. He quickly found a new job that paid more money and he could work from home (he still does). Our faith and financial choices we made when we first married put us on solid ground when the storms of life hit. Many in America were not in this position. There is danger when we stray from the narrow path. It was the Lord that allowed me to have knowledge of the danger of jabs ahead of time and make the necessary sacrifice to avoid them. We always have freedom in Christ whether our government leaders rear Him or not. We must obey God rather than man. If you don't fear God, you will believe the lies and will submit to evil.

That is a very good point Peggy Hall. Exactly right.
Posted by: Benedetta | August 13, 2023 at 10:19 PM
In terms of promoting health freedom, meaning the God-given authority over your own body and the legal authority to NOT allow any unwanted medical intervention, this book is an example of a strawman fallacy. That means creating a different argument/issue (in this case, the "safety" of vaccines, the need for more testing, regulations, etc) to divert the attention, energy, resources and focus AWAY from the core issue, which is this: The government (or even your doctor) has ZERO AUTHORITY to coerce or require you to undergo a medical intervention.
It DOES NOT MATTER whether or or not vaccines are "safe" or "effective." So why all the attention, energy, resources and focus on "more safety testing?" RFK Jr. himself stated (in an interview with Alan Dershowitz in 2020) that "the real question is how do we restore confidence in the regulatory officials and agencies." In other words, RFK wants to get Americans to TRUST the government again -- so that the next time we are told these injections are "safe and effective" people will believe them.
Calling for safety testing on vaccines is like calling for condoms on rapists. Neither focuses on the actual issue.

Emmaphiladelphia,
In answer to the questions you posed, I would simply state that lies are the root of the problem, which makes truth telling that much more important. The lies which are told must then be “supported”, which involves more lying, then some more lying, and so on. Going against the lies requires work, courage, strength, determination, and persistence, which seem to be in short supply these days.
The theme of my first rally speech opposing SB277 in 2015 was lies, lies, and more lies. This speech was delivered before the “carve out” for homeschoolers was added. Originally, the bill included all children in CA, age 0-18, for both daycare and school (public, private, and home). The bill sailed through the legislature and quickly became law in CA.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WWEiEPUWSU&feature=youtu.be
Imagine if vaccine researchers, pharmaceutical company presidents, government scientists, government regulators, and doctors had told the truth from the beginning, that vaccines are made in heinous ways from heinous ingredients (not one of which is required by the human body for life or health); that during “safety trials”, subjects were both harmed and killed (and that was in the immediate and short term, the long term wasn’t monitored or documented); that the minimal post-marketing surveillance revealed the same results, injuries and deaths in recipients; that vaccines did not stop death or disease, but rather caused them; and that vaccines are not needed to achieve, protect, or maintain health, as they have the opposite effects. If the truth had been told, vaccines would have been stopped in their tracks from their inception. (There have been a few truth tellers along the way, and still are today, but their voices are continually quashed and silenced by the liars.) But the original lies simply begat more and more lies, and as a result, in addition to becoming more and more indoctrinated with lies, people have become sicker, more disabled, less independent, less fertile, and less likely to live to a ripe old age…all of which leave people less likely to discern the truth, and less likely to have the wherewithal to resist, refuse, and rebel. Thus, truth tellers have their work cut out for them, and the hurdles to be faced and overcome are monumental.
Somewhere in Kevin Barry’s excellent book, “Vaccine Whistleblower”, he poses an important question, to the effect of “where are the men and women of moral courage?”…for they are desperately and urgently needed to stop this vaccine insanity and resultant decimation of our children, now beginning in the womb, and continued to the grave.

Though I appreciate the work of Robert Kennedy and Dr. Hooker in continuing to educate the public about vaccine danger, I am unable to stomach an acceptance of the game of political chess. For over 60 years, we have been told a lie that vaccines were "safe and effective" and only rarely caused injury. For over 60 years, our children have been mandated to receive various cocktails of poison, mandated by our government under the lie of "safe and effective" and our medical establishment is complicit and profits from the lie. The medical cartels have shattered the Hippocratic Oath to "do no harm," shattered respect and dignity for all human life, and we are asked to calmly wait for change. Are we to calmly ask the CDC, NIH, FDA, CMS to stop experimenting on our children and adults(pneumonia, shingles, Covid, etc) or will we recognize this is our 1776 moment and declare our independence from medical tyranny?

Laura
Knowing what needs to be done and getting it done are two different things.
1. Why did 70% of Americans take the EXPERIMENTAL unproven safe Covid jab?
2. Why did many of those take it against their will?
3. How many Americans voted for the President that attempted to mandate these jabs?
4. Why did Americans with vaccine injured children get their kids jabbed when it was not mandatory because every state had religious exemptions?
5. Why do Americans trust their government with their health?
6. Why are most Americans in debt?
7. Why do Americans look to the government to solve their personal problems?
8. How did Americans raise their children such that the majority of our elected officials are now feckless cowardly greedy sellouts?
Posted by: Emmaphiladelphia | August 11, 2023 at 10:38 AM
Laura;
Cause he is trying to be easy with most of the US population that worship at the temple of vaccination.
and still have their doctors on a pedestal. Which becomes so easy to do when you get sick and trying to get better. Till it goes on for years. Sigh.
That is the same excuse I gave for Trump.
And it was probably true for him as well.
Trump sure cozied up to Gates and GAVI for sure.
But both are better and I choose both of them over a president that like some thug or mob boss gets on the TV and tells me that if I don't get my vaccine that he and all the powers that stand behind him are losing their patience. It is like a threat that I have never felt before. It is a personal, body threat.
.
Oh, there have been threats that have involved me before like government claiming all water ways, not just navigated water, but all water; including the water that washes down the four mountains around us, collects in our lower field for a while before flowing on down to join other collections of water off of other places. The government then basically owns our lower field. Some entity that I do not know who works in the EPA federal agency now owns it.
Just like they are looking to own our cattle. I have not seen them around when we have to provide salt, hay and medical attention to them?
If it does not matter to most? Perhaps the government making us all allergic to alpha-gal. By bioengineered tick? or putting this gelatin in vaccines. So you can't eat beef.
Biden, or Obama that leads him around, if not China - or Trump or Kennedy Jr.
I too though Laura am pretty sick of we are not anti vaccine but -
Or we are not anti clean environment ; but?
They have made good things bad things. and we have to explain ourselves before we complain.

Marianna,
Excellent question you posed, thank you.
Kathy Sincere,
Thank you for the links, which yet again conclusively prove the heinous and evil fraud and corruption that underlie our nation’s vaccine program. The blood money involved is astronomical.
Posted by: Laura Hayes | August 11, 2023 at 08:00 AM
Emmaphiladelphia,
Thank you for commenting...your comments are a valuable addition here at AoA :)
Vaccine mandates not only violate our God-given, inalienable right to bodily sovereignty, and to parent our children as we see fit, they also violate the U.S. Constitution, on a number of fronts. As such, a Constitutional challenge must be made to them. Additionally, the unconstitutional 1905 Jacobson vs. MA decision must be overturned. As for vaccine use being encoded in Federal Law, I don't understand what that means, but I would think the Constitution would trump any Federal Law, yes? And Federal Law should not be permitting of fraud and corruption, as are rampant with vaccines, from manufacture to mandate, and beyond. In any event, the leader we urgently need would speak against that which shouldn't be, and that includes both vaccine mandates, and vaccines themselves. Rhetoric matters.
As for politics being a chess game, our children don't have time for the adults in this world to continue playing chess. Since Kennedy entered the vaccine fray (2002?), "kicking and screaming" as he likes to say, more than 2 decades have passed. Given that there are about 4 million children born per year in the U.S., and more than 95% receive the "CDC-recommended" vaccine schedule (oh how I hope that percentage has come down as of late), that is nearly 80 million American children who have been injured by vaccines (as every vaccine causes some level of injury, not to mention scores of them given throughout critical periods of development), many to the point of chronic illness, permanent disability, loss of independence, SIDS, infertility, and premature death.
No more time for chess. Time for an immediate moratorium on each and every vaccine, as not one has been tested or approved properly or ethically. Time to fully restore individual and parental rights with regard to healthcare and medical decision making, as you can't have medical mandates in a free and ethical society, nor can there be informed consent in the presence of mandates. Time to immediately repeal the 1986 Act, and return liability to its rightful owners.
Posted by: Laura Hayes | August 10, 2023 at 07:21 PM
Laura,
I agree with every single word you have written.
My thoughts -
What makes the mandated evil toxic vaccines even more abhorrent -if that is possible- is the out-and-out open corruption and greed involved. Ignoring all the possible/probable harm caused by all jabs. For this reason ALONE, Mr. Kennedy needs to state "I was once fiercely pro vaccine but not so anymore. The Truths I have learned in the last 8-10 years has made me question all vaccines. Absolutely no mandates, EVER, under any conditions."

Those are excellent and necessary questions. However, politics is a chess game. The major factor regarding vaccines is that their use is encoded in our Federal law, not just regulations. Years ago when the 1996 Vaccine Injury Act was still available to read online, I remember that it included the responsibility of the Federal government to promote and market the FDA approved vaccines. That is why all the government officials repeat the "safe and effective" mantra. An FDA licensed vaccine earns that government designation. I don't know what the legal pathway is for the President to override the FDA "safe and effective" licensing. Perhaps Trump had no legal power to stop Operation Warp Speed and not promote it, but he could, NOT MANDATE IT. This was of great benefit to our Autism community. Contrast this with Biden's immediate attempt to mandate a vaccine he had previously criticized as a "Trump vaccine product". We still suffer from the great harm this caused. Also, the vaccine program is now joined at the hip with the powerful DOD. The 1986 Act needs to be repealed, but that takes an act of Congress. I don't think we have the votes. In the mean time, vaccine safety minded candidates must play a game of chess. There is also the case of likely family pharma investments with some of the candidates.
Ed Dowd is working for the Kennedy campaign as treasurer. He has been outspoken regarding the adverse events surrounding the Covid jabs. He is free to do so since he is not a candidate. A chess move? Here is a recent excellent interview:

Agreed Laura. Is he just saying those things to appeal to the public … or does he really still believe in these poisonous jabs? I do wonder if he’s a coward or actually controlled opposition sometimes.
Posted by: Marianna | August 10, 2023 at 10:45 AM
Congress or a future president needs to get control of VSD and do the study and make sure it’s published without censorship…
Posted by: MarkLeo | August 10, 2023 at 10:10 AM
Questions for Mr. Kennedy, given the content of this book, which I surmised based on the first many reader reviews on Amazon since I have not read this book:
1. Why doesn’t Mr. Kennedy call for an immediate moratorium on each and every vaccine?
2. Why does Mr. Kennedy continue to state that he is not “anti-vaccine”?
3. Why does Mr. Kennedy state that we need “additional testing”?
4. With regard to “additional testing”, which and whose children should/will be selected and used for experimentation?
5. With more than 70 (closer to 80?) vaccine doses now recommended for children from birth to age 18 (not including the 5 vaccine doses a child receives indirectly in the womb if the mother accepts the 5 doses now recommended for pregnant women), including same-target vaccines from various manufacturers, in various-valent forms, routinely administered in various haphazard combinations, to children who are both healthy and sick, many (most?) of whom are on one or more pharmaceuticals, how exactly would such “additional testing” be done?
6. Knowing what he has known for years, why did Mr. Kennedy state for so many years that he was “fiercely pro-vaccine”, and that “vaccines have saved millions of lives”? Where did he get his data for the latter comment he made so often?
7. Is Mr. Kennedy ready and willing to unequivocally state at each and every opportunity that he is “fiercely opposed” to vaccine mandates, including in times of “emergency”, and that no one should have to formally opt out of any vaccine via an exemption, but rather, a simple “no thank you” should always suffice, without any government interference, coercion, cost, or penalty?
These are important questions for this presidential candidate to answer.
