In 2013, biologist Dr. Brian Hooker received a call from a Senior
Scientist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
who led the agency’s 2004 study on the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR)
vaccine and its link to autism.
The scientist, Dr. William
Thompson, confessed that the CDC had omitted crucial data in their final
report that revealed a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and
autism. Over several months, Dr. Hooker records the phone calls made to
him by Dr. Thompson who provides the confidential data destroyed by his
colleagues at the CDC.
Dr. Hooker enlists the help of Dr. Andrew
Wakefield, the British gastroenterologist falsely accused of starting
the anti-vax movement when he first reported in 1998 that the MMR
vaccine may cause autism. In his ongoing effort to advocate for
children’s health, Wakefield directs this documentary examining the
evidence behind an appalling cover-up committed by the government agency
charged with protecting the health of American citizens.
Interviews with pharmaceutical insiders, doctors, politicians, and
parents of vaccine-injured children reveal an alarming deception that
has contributed to the skyrocketing increase of autism and potentially
the most catastrophic epidemic of our lifetime.
