The rest is history.
speaker_0HOST
Scientist Brian Hooker, co-author with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of Vax Unvax, Let the Science Speak, has called for the retraction of Thorsen's research.
speaker_0HOST
not because of his criminal activities, but because the research is flawed.
speaker_0HOST
With thimerosal, Thorsen used different inclusion criteria from year to year to create the illusion that autism rates were going up after thimerosal was removed from Danish vaccines.
Jeff CrouereHOST
We'll talk more about children and children's health defense.
Jeff CrouereHOST
Our friend Dr. Brian Hooker is going to be joining us.
Jeff CrouereHOST
That's next right here on Ringside.

Jeff CrouereHOST
And we're back and pleased to have back with us the Chief Scientific Officer for Children's Health Defense, Dr. Brian Hooker.
Jeff CrouereHOST
And hey, Brian, how are you?
David KnightHOST
And, uh, this is the case as well.
David KnightHOST
And so Brian Hooker, who I've interviewed, uh, from Children's Health Defense, uh, also had a child, a son, who was injured by vaccines, autistic.
David KnightHOST
His claim was also dismissed.
David KnightHOST
He said, "Thorsen likely didn't act alone in misusing this federal money or misinterpreting the vaccine autism research.
David KnightHOST
And, uh, this is the case as well.
David KnightHOST
And so Brian Hooker, who I've interviewed, uh, from Children's Health Defense, uh, also had a child, a son, who was injured by vaccines, autistic.
David KnightHOST
His claim was also dismissed.
David KnightHOST
He said Thorsen likely didn't act alone in misusing this federal money or misinterpreting the vaccine autism research.
Naomi WolfGUEST
Because he produced, um, a series of studies, uh, allegedly showing no connection between thimerosal and autism, and that's exactly what the pharmaceutical companies ordered up, and that's what was rolled out, um, in 2011 especially, and, and cited again and again and again every time you hear as a parent there's no connection between vac- vaccines and autism.
Naomi WolfGUEST
And Dr. Brian Hooker, who's a lead scientist at Children's Health Defense, which, um, Secretary Kennedy used to run and founded or co-founded, um, Brian Hooker has called into question for a long time, uh, these studies, and has pointed out that from his point of view they're based on flawed data, flawed methods.
Naomi WolfGUEST
Really flawed methods.
Naomi WolfGUEST
So if indeed thousands of kids, especially boys, um, and especially, uh, in one study Black boys, um, have been exposed to something that causes autism because of this fraudster's fraudulent science paid for by funds that he was, you know, skimming, um, fraudulently, uh, that is gonna be m- massively impactful.
26 MINS LATER
Naomi WolfGUEST
So that's huge, and I just wanna remind everyone that Dr. Fauci's wife is the ethicist [chuckles] who oversees his work.
Naomi WolfGUEST
So, um, that's a gigantic loophole that covers up a lot of crime or, or enables a lot of, uh, potential crime.
Naomi WolfGUEST
And this quote I think is important, um, that, uh, quote, "Given these irregularities, Thorsen should also be under investigation for data fraud as he clearly withheld data and could have altered data, um, from the Danish official sources," uh, according to Brian Hooker.
Naomi WolfGUEST
So I just really wanted everyone to understand it's the same kind of, um, cheating really, and misrepresentation.
Alex NewmanHOST
He's the author of Tylenol and Autism, which was published as a joint collaboration with our good friends at Children's Health Defense.
Alex NewmanHOST
Of course, we've had Dr. Brian Hooker and even Robert F. Kennedy on the program here.
Alex NewmanHOST
The book's called Tylenol and Autism, Evidence, Scientific Blunders, and Medicine Gone Wrong.
Alex NewmanHOST
He's got a very amazing bio.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The articles were used by the CDC and other medical organizations to support the claim that vaccines do not cause autism.
speaker_0NARRATOR
However, Thorsen's studies have been described as flawed by Dr. Brian Hooker in a recent Children's Health Defense interview.
speaker_0NARRATOR
"He, Thorsen, is a crook through and through," Hooker said during the CHD interview.
speaker_0NARRATOR
"All of his papers should be retracted, and all the research should be revisited." When it was released, Thorsen's research was enormously valuable to the CDC because five thousand families had filed claims against the secretary of HHS in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, the VICP, otherwise known as the Vaccine Court, alleging that vaccine injuries triggered their children's autism.
Liz EvansGUEST
It's obsessive, but it's actually, it sort of feels quite predatory.
Ahmed MalikHOST
So the next guest is Dr. Brian Hooker, PhD.
Ahmed MalikHOST
Brian Hooker has written the book Vaxxed Versus Unvaxxed.
Ahmed MalikHOST
He works for the Children's Defense, Children's Health Defense or something like that.
Brian HookerGUEST
When, back when the pandemic flu shot first came out in, uh, 2009, 2010, when they gave two flu shots to pregnant women, the number of miscarriages increased by 11.4 times.
