An excerpt from the intro to Vaccines, Amen:

Ever hear someone say, “I believe in cars” or “I believe in tools”? I cannot recall ever hearing anyone say they believe in a certain product. But I hear people say, “I believe in vaccines” all the time, especially in response to evidence regarding vaccines.

The expression “I believe in vaccines” carries a truism. The properties often attributed to vaccines require faith. Belief. This is because most claims about vaccines are not grounded in evidence. They are beliefs. It is why challenging claims about vaccines—meaning challenging beliefs—often results in an emotional, not logical, reaction.

This is also why wading into this topic is not for the faint of heart. Nor is it for anyone seeking to avoid controversy. Just the word “vaccines” evokes emotions for many.

Falling Into Vaccine Law

For this reason, among many others, I likely would have laughed if someone had told me eighteen years ago that I would be managing a law firm, with over 100 professionals, working on vaccine injury, exemptions, and policy. Back then, I was working on high-stakes, multi-billion-dollar lawsuits at one of the country’s premier law firms. Even after starting my own law firm over a decade ago, I continued to handle mostly high-stakes business litigation matters.

Then, one fateful day, I learned something I could not unlearn: of all the corporations I was defending, I would likely never have to defend a pharmaceutical company against claims that children were seriously injured or killed by a vaccine. Why? Because in 1986, Congress granted these companies financial immunity for injuries caused by childhood vaccines in a law titled the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (the 1986 Act).

I learned that, because of the 1986 Act, parents of seriously injured or deceased children must sue the federal government’s health department, instead of the company that profited from the product that harmed their children. From that one data point, my journey regarding vaccines began. What I have uncovered along the way has frequently been unbelievable.

This journey, spanning over a decade of litigating vaccine lawsuits of all stripes across the country, has been unique. This is partly because, unlike doctors, who can appeal to their credentials, I do not get to just say, “trust me.” I need to prove claims I assert with real data. Real proof. Something that will hold up in court. Non-authoritative science will not do. Unreliable data will not do. This means my vaccine litigation work requires me to study the primary sources and carefully review and scrutinize the studies and data that support each claim.

In the course of that legal work, I have worked with well over a hundred immunologists, infectious disease doctors, pediatricians, and other medical professionals. I have deposed these specialists as well, including the world’s leading vaccinologists. This work requires an understanding of vaccinology, immunology, infectious disease, and pediatrics, among other disciplines, with regard to these products. Want to talk about any other drug, medical procedure, etc.? I am not your man. But vaccines, those I know.

Incredibly, most of the information needed to understand vaccine safety is freely available on federal government websites and public databases. Most doctors and parents never bother to look or don’t know it exists. Those who do know and look often learn things they cannot unlearn.

Parents Who Do Not Vaccinate

According to the CDC and public health authorities, parents who choose not to vaccinate their children are typically highly educated. CDC data reflect that half of American children are not fully vaccinated, and at least 1 in 88 toddlers in America are completely unvaccinated. Why would the parents of these children, constituting a large part of the nation’s brain trust, choose not to vaccinate their children?

After all, parents who choose not to vaccinate are, as the CDC laments, typically very highly educated. They are often scientifically literate. Many are medical professionals. Leading scientists. What is it that they have learned or experienced that convinced them to forgo what many believe is the greatest medical achievement of all time?

The answer, I have found, is that they often have had an experience which caused them to scratch below the surface of common conclusory statements about vaccines. They seek the substance that underpins these statements. What they then learn, they cannot unlearn. Cannot unsee.

As an ardent vaccine promoter, Emily K. Brunson, MPH, PhD, explains about those who choose not to vaccinate: “I think we need to avoid the trap of thinking that information or knowledge is enough, because for a lot of the people, and when you look at hesitancy and parental vaccine hesitancy in the US, the group who is most likely to purposefully choose to not vaccinate are highly educated. In speaking with them, these are people who have read the primary literature themselves, and they’re correctly interpreting it, so it’s not a misunderstanding.”

Keep in mind that for those who choose not to vaccinate, that choice often comes with serious consequences. Including expulsion from school. Exclusion from social circles. Being labeled anti-science or worse. It also requires overcoming powerful, almost crushing societal pressure to vaccinate one’s child, and rejecting the near-universal advice of public health agencies. Choosing not to vaccinate is not for the faint of heart and, in my experience, is rarely a decision made lightly. Meaning whatever these parents learned, it must have been powerful enough to overcome incredible social pressures and penalties.

This also comports with my experience that in many cases, parents do not choose to not vaccinate. They choose to stop vaccinating. Their completely unvaccinated children often have an older sibling who is partially vaccinated. But, even among those with a personal experience, it is those who carefully investigate vaccine products who typically reach the conclusion to not vaccinate with sufficient intellectual rigor and confidence to overcome the powerful societal pressures and penalties of not vaccinating.

Other than knowledge and experience, I have found that those choosing to not vaccinate hail from nearly every demographic, race, ethnicity, religion, and walk of life. They are scattered almost haphazardly across all verticals and horizontals of American life, with the only real predictive clustering being around those who use their intellect to research these products.

Vaccine Zealots

There is something else I found surprising in my journey regarding vaccines. The popular conception is that those who do not vaccinate are fanatics. Anti-science. Irrational. Emotional. Zealots. But my experience has generally been the opposite.

To be sure, there are some who take issue with vaccines who meet the foregoing description. They are also the ones who can often be the loudest. But they are, in my experience, the very tiny but vocal tip of the iceberg. The remainder—submerged silently and quietly under the water, not wanting any publicity of any kind, and who do not dare speak their views in mixed company—make up the vast majority of those who choose not to vaccinate. These folks, as a group, are highly knowledgeable and educated about these products. They can speak rationally about them. They are typically science-literate and put that ability to good use in researching these products. They are far from zealots. They are just parents seeking to make good decisions for their children.

As for parents who do vaccinate, almost all such parents I have met appear to have never really thought much about these products, nor have they viewed this as a decision to be made. They just go with the flow. They have never encountered any issue with their children that they have associated with vaccination. They often do what the media typically says good parents are expected to do—trust their doctors. That is not to say they do not hold orthodox views about vaccines, but those views are susceptible to change upon presentation of actual evidence.

Then there is what I call the “Vaccines Amen” crowd. This is the group of parents, doctors, and public health professionals I have dealt with—a small army of them—who have a fervent belief in vaccines. This group is often impervious to reason or data, even when it is provided from their oracle, the CDC. This group attributes properties to one or more vaccines that simply do not exist. They overstate the benefits and cannot accept even official government data showing that many of their core beliefs regarding vaccines are false. When these beliefs are challenged, this crowd gets angry. They often entrench and, instead of addressing the evidence or accepting the clear reality, demand instead that everyone must adopt their beliefs. And for those who refuse to adopt their beliefs, they demand that the refusers be censored, have their rights taken away, and be mandated to be injected. This is the “Vaccines Amen” crowd.

Let me put it this way: the fanatics are not those who choose not to vaccinate. The fanatics are those who think everyone must be vaccinated whether or not they want to engage in this medical procedure. Let me also state that I think most pediatricians, doctors, and public health authorities mean well. They believe they are engaging in God’s work. And that is often the problem that makes them blind to reality.

The title of this book, Vaccines, Amen, comes from this ironic and strange reality I live in every day in which the so-called “antivaxxers” I encounter are often very knowledgeable about the primary sources underpinning the purported safety and efficacy of these products. They often can discuss the literature, pre- and post-licensure, calmly and rationally. They can certainly be upset that their child has been excluded from school, but they are not emotional about the actual products they have chosen not to give their child. Discussing those, these parents are rational.

On the flip side, I have found the opposite to be the case among the Vaccines Amen crowd, including a significant proportion of medical professionals. When challenged about vaccines, they are often emotional about the products themselves. They lack an understanding of the pre- and post-licensure literature and much else about these products. They regurgitate canned answers they have never researched—essentially mantras. When these mantras are challenged with evidence, it causes cognitive dissonance that often results in anger or a similar emotional response, not a logical response. Most critically, their beliefs in these products persist despite clear, unequivocal evidence to the contrary. This is why I call them “beliefs”—because that is what they are.

Choosing to vaccinate is an important decision that should not be made based on dogma. It should be based on evidence. And you are more likely to receive factual, evidence-based information about vaccines from someone who has been required to litigate and prove or disprove claims made about vaccines with evidence, than you will from someone who just repeats mantras about these products. It is also why the claims in this book are supported by citation to primary sources or reliable evidence.

Parents will spend hours researching before choosing to buy or lease a car or a house. Stress over car seats and stroller purchases. Research which foods are healthiest. It similarly behooves all parents to give the same level of attention to understanding the dozens of products—and they are products—pharmaceutical companies and the CDC seek to inject into their children. Whatever you choose, let me suggest doing so from a place of knowledge.

My Bias

My personal ideological position regarding vaccines is that vaccines should not be mandated. Everyone should be able to get a vaccine, any vaccine, and get as many as they want. But civil and individual rights demand that no one should be coerced into receiving an unwanted medical product or procedure, including a vaccine.

In fact, my rule of thumb is that the more a product needs to be coerced, the more one should be concerned about that product. Parents who make the often socially ostracizing, rights-crushing decision to not vaccinate often have a good reason. Yet, it is these same parents, and their children, who vaccine mandates adversely impact.

Do some vaccines have potential benefits? Yes. Virtually every drug has some benefit. That is even true of most drugs withdrawn from the market due to serious safety or efficacy issues. That does not mean every drug makes sense for every person. It does not mean the potential benefits outweigh the risks. It does not mean that reasonable minds cannot differ on this calculus. They can. Some may choose a speculative benefit even where there is a known harm, and vice versa. The point is that there must be liberty to choose.

The right to choose is certainly my bias, and I tried to keep that bias in mind as I drafted and presented the facts and information in this book. Meaning I sought to be as objective as possible. For that reason, and because there is skepticism regarding any statements made regarding vaccines, as noted, the proof to support each material assertion is included within this book.

Now, I would love to jump into vaccine safety because it is probably the most interesting part of this book, but I know many cannot hear anything about vaccine safety without yelling or wanting to yell, “we must trust the experts!” or “we would all be dead without vaccines!” So, the first three parts of this book will address those claims before we get to vaccine safety in Part IV.

With that—hold on tight. You are about to learn things you can never unlearn.

@LozzaFox @waitrose The laws in UK to home kill are far tighter than those for supermarkets. I wonder if home kill laws exempt for religious practices?

AI estimated from aerial photos and police maps that the total march yesterday was >600,000 people.

By contrast the Iraq war protest based on the same methodology was 120,000.

Surely the public (regardless of their political views) deserve to know that there was a protest that was 5 times the size of the previous largest ever?

[Hopeful to the end 💜 @Jane75172128]

@Keir_Starmer I wonder if you should have praised first for the peaceful protest of probably a million people gathered, who are there to stand up for British values. You could have added how sad it was that a tiny number of protesters assaulted the police.

[Dr. Marcus De Brun @indepdubnrth]

On 23/9/25 at the Kings Inns in Dublin, I must appear at a Public Hearing of the Irish Medical Council. My crime is that I spoke at a rally in 2020, critisised Lockdowns & Nursing Home deaths and I refused to support a dangerous vaccine and a Pharmaceutical agenda.

The Medical Council have hired an "independent" expert: a Professor of GP at UCC, who will give evidence. The Prof will video link his testimony as he is presently on contract with RCSI at their medical campus in Malaysia.

Here at home RCSI is a registered charity, meaning they pay little or no taxes. RCSI is a private Medical School in Dublin, it mostly educates wealthy foreign kids from Saudi Arabia and America who can afford the fees. They charge circa 60k per year for the 5 year course. The last 3yrs of training are conducted in Beaumont Hospital or the Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda. There the Irish taxpayer provide the guinea pigs and foot the bill for most of the training.

After qualifying at RCSI, almost all of these fee-paying students, leave Ireland and return home to work - despite the shortage of Doctors here.

The medical establishment in Ireland is a multi-billion euro industry that is in bed with politics and rotten to the core. The rot begins at the Medical Schools, the tax-free money that changes hands is the tip of the iceberg.

At UCC in Cork it's almost impossible to tell where the Pharmaceutical campus ends and the University begins.

We have a free public health system yet half of our population pay for private insurance, why is that? Children die on waiting lists, why is that?

I raised some of these issues at the Medical Council before I resigned. Its payback! Not surprisingly the RCSI have a member who sits on the Council, indeed the most corrupt elements of the Medical Establishment have a seat at the table and thereby ensure that their interests are NEVER questioned.

Remember Prof McKonkey during the Pandemic? =RCSI. Remember when Harris was Minister for Higher Education? - Who got the Govt money/research grants? =RCSI.

The other "expert wittness" at my trial will be a sheep farmer from the UK who also happens to have a PhD: Dr Bottley is part of a UK clique known as 'The Mutton Crew', an infamous group of internet trolls who lodge complaints with Medical regulators around the world, in respect of Doctors critical of Covid vaccines. I've never met or spoken with him or his crew -they are nasty people.

At my hearing the Medical Council will act as the complainant, the prosecution, and the judge. They will hear evidence from: Dr Bottley in the UK and the good Professor from Cork while he's on a jolly in Malaysia.

Yes: it's a bit of a joke, except that it's real.

In respect of my conducting a defence, the Council have refused to summons ANY of the witnesses I have tried to call: Simon Harris & Dr Tony Holohan -the two men most responsible for the guidelines I am accused of undermining and for the vaccine I have refused to administer - They have refused to attend and will not be summoned to give evidence.

This is of course a sham trial- yet it gives the public a very brief and fleeting glimpse into the corruption and nepotism that lies at the very heart of Medicine in Ireland. It may serve as a reminder to all of us, that criticisms of the rot and the greed will not be tolerated.

I am uncertain as to whether they will take my licence away. I have neither the opportunity nor have I the will to make a defence. I stand over every criticism I have made of the Vaccine, Lockdowns the deaths in Nursing Homes and the draconian restrictions endured during the "Pandemic".

Medicine in Ireland may be far too corrupt for a few Doctors like me to ever change it. They may sanction us - interminably investigate us- silence us, or suspend us- as they have done to Dr Gerry Waters and others. They can conceal the truth, but it will never go away- and neither will we.

See you at the Kings Inns in Dublin on 23/9/2025.

Marcus

Why are these doctors never allowed to bring witnesses?

Why is Botley always at these tribunal hearings?

Why has this happened in almost every country?

If people are not free in their lifetimes to gift money they have earned, and upon which they have already paid tax, then we are living in a form of slavery

Reasons chickenpox vax was NOT given in UK:

1 40–60 year uptick in shingles
2 Risk of increase in adult chicken pox (incl. in pregnancy)
3. Cost-effectiveness only after ~80–100 years
4. MMRV increases febrile seizure risk (~1 extra per ~2,300 same doses given separately)

@CrissyW47357 @DocAhmadMalik This is sadly what they are told and believe. It is not Christian at all. It is a cult and there are many who believe it has Satanic roots.

Chicken pox vaccines have been available for decades.

The Public Health officials made a rational decision that it was not a good idea.

Why have they changed their mind now?

The result will be lower uptake for MMR.

Amazing to think the British people mostly have no idea we are on the cusp of one of the worst financial crises in our history.
The media, majority left leaning, will cover for its cretinous Labour mates unto the crack of Doom.
Predictions: this is the last Labour government.

[Jikkyleaks 🐭 @Jikkyleaks]

OMG @grok says the 18x increase in deaths after the vaccine rollout in Australia was because of the massive increase in infections (about 300x) that coincidentally "happened" after the vaccine rollout.

But it worked really well
😂😂😂😂😂😂

#Groklighting intensifies.

[Dr Clare Craig ✝️ @ClareCraigPath]

Why isn't everyone outraged that powerful people are articulating such ideas?

Everybody should be against this.

With this comes motivation that will destroy individual

morality

freedom.

There is no room in such a system for tolerance and forgiveness.
