The “Invasion”…Our Biggest Threat to Our Health and Freedom?
After I completed putting this Substack together and rechecking everything the best I could I was ready to publish it…but…but I listened to one more podcast of an interview with Michael Yon from the Panama Canal a world renown expert on “Intentional” International Mass Migration. He is a former green beret and special forces officer, and famed combatant corresponded Michael Yon ( his substack https://substack.com/@michaelyon ) who I follow down in the Panama Canal and Darien Gap area on what’s really happening with the border crisis. He is not a fan of the past administration nor President Trump’s handling of the “invasion.” Start listening at 33 minutes. Skip the first part. We are in trouble. I believe this topic (intentional international migration) “Trumps” writing about integrative medicine topics, Autism, Alzhiemer’s, cancer, anti-aging and really any health topic because if we are not free to choose how we want to live all the above is a mute point. TRUST ME. I DON’T WANT TO WAIST ANYONE’S TIME, MY OWN INCLUDED. START LISTENING TO THE INTERVIEW AT 33:00 MINUTES FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES OR LONGER. To the end. It is very important. “Was The Blackout In Spain A Coincidence?” The actual title does not reflect the “Invasion” or Intentional Migration topic which Michael Yon is an expert on worldwide, but especially as an eye witness of what has been happening down at the Panama Canal and Darien gap. He takes reporters, congressional people, military people down there but in this excerpt at 33:00 minutes you feel his sense of urgency and frustration that things are really changing fast enough…if at all. I hope he is not as right as I think he is…
AUTISM INCIDENCE - 2025 - CDC- Prevalence and Early Identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder Among Children Aged 4 and 8 Years — Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, 16 Sites, United States, 2022. Surveillance Summaries / April 17, 2025 / 74(2);1–22. (1 in 31 or 32.25/1000)
AUTISM INCIDENCE - 2000- CDC - Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorders --- Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, Six Sites, United States, 2000. (6.7/1000)
AUTISM INCIDENCE - RESOURCE - AUTISM SPEAKS - Autism prevalence rises to 1 in 31 children in the U.S. April 15, 2025. Source: “Autism Speaks” Website”…2025 autism prevalence in the U.S.
The updated prevalence report reflects both progress and persistent disparities in early identification and access to services. Increased autism awareness, better screening and broader diagnostic criteria have helped more children—especially those in historically under-served communities—get diagnosed earlier. But the data also points to critical gaps that must be addressed. Key findings include:
Prevalence
* 1 in 31 (or 3.2%) 8-year-old children were diagnosed with autism in 2022, up from 1 in 36 (2.7%) in 2020.
* Among 4-year-old children, autism prevalence was 1 in 34 (or 2.9%), with sharp increases in diagnosis rates around 36 months—possibly reflecting increased use of telehealth during the pandemic.
* Boys were 3.4 times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with autism.
* Prevalence was lowest among white children (2.7%) and highest among American Indian or Alaska Native children (3.8%), Asian or Pacific Islander children (3.8%) and Black children (3.7%). Hispanic (3.3%) and multiracial (3.2%) children also had higher rates of diagnosis than white children. This continues a trend first seen in 2020 and points to progress in autism identification in historically under-served communities.
* In 5 surveillance sites, autism prevalence was higher in areas with lower median household income or greater social vulnerability.
Co-occurring conditions
* Over a third (39.6%) of children with autism also had co-occurring intellectual disability. This number was even higher among Black children (52.8%) and American Indian or Alaska Native children (50%), possibly due to factors like lower income, food and housing insecurity, or limited access to early intervention…” Source: “Autism Speaks” Website

Dr McCullough’s keynote speech (starts at 6:00 min mark) was from an epidemiologist’s point of view…Think about Autism as a complexed problem…Think of Autism in the terms of “Determinants or Risk Factors”…
* Martin Luther 1483 noted a 12 year-old boy with features of autism
* Case in Scotland 1747
* Dr. Leo Kanner 1943 11 cases
* Probably 80 years into Autism epidemic
* Asperger’s Syndrome 1944 – defined high function Autism
* Autistic children many times from very intelligent parents
* Use Risk Factors instead of Causes for evaluating Autism
* The rise in Autism is unquestionable – not just early diagnosis
* If we don’t deal with Autism epidemic now we could be consumed by it
* Since 2016 Autism incidence has doubled
* Something must be happening in a very rapid phase?
* What changed so rapidly?
* Genetics
* Immune dysregulation - childhood vaccines?
* Environment
* Microbiome
* Genetic risk factors – common variation – not family lineage
* Some role for genetic pre-disposition
* Cellular energy dysfunction, mitochondrial abnormalities
* MTHFR - Autism (75-90% MTHFR defect) methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase enzyme – methylates proteins in the body – utilizes B12, B6, folate (C6777t) – 25% of white individuals have mutation which doesn’t process these vitamins well enough and the neurons get dysfunctional
* Example Spina Bifida – neural tube defect at bottom of spine – folate supplementation resolved it
* Pre-term delivery – incidence of autism 20%, delivery before 37 weeks
* Parental age – father > 40 years, mother >35 more likely to have autistic child with odds ratio 1.47. 47% excess risk
* Immune dysregulation – vaccines appear to be a modifiable risk factor
* Journal of Autoimmunity 2016 – Risk Factors for Autism – Thinking Outside the Brain. Immune dysfunction (immune system - white blood cells, antibodies, cytokines, complement) Risk factors in autism: Thinking outside the brain
* Cytokines must play a role in Autism. They may be dramatically activated with vaccines, especially large groups like 16 at a time
* Cytokines responsible for fever
* Febrile seizures risk factor – neurologic damage – development of Autism (3-4% of children per year may have febrile seizures). Can lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
* Vaccines can cause febrile seizures – more likely to occur with combination vaccines. How much of the 3-4% of febrile seizures are caused by vaccines"?
* The intensity and frequency of childhood vaccines are a risk factor for febrile seizures
* 10% of audience had a child with a febrile seizure
* When a child has a febrile seizure there is a 41% chance of developing – epilepsy, tick, ADHD, autism. You don’t want a child to have a high temperature that would result in a seizure
* 3-4% of population have a febrile seizure – 41% of those who febrile seizures have a chance of having a neurologic issue (epilepsy, tick, ADHD, autism) – 1-2% rate of autism
* Immune dysregulation – 1943, Leo Kennar, 11 cases of Autism, 1 patient got a smallpox vaccine – got a fever, had GI symptoms, over the next few months the mother describes symptoms of classic Autism 1) Kanner L. Autistic disturbances of affective contact. Nervous Child 2, 217-250 (1943) PDF2) Leo Kanner’s 1943 paper on autism. “…Donald T. was not like other 5-year-old boys. Leo Kanner knew that the moment he read the 33-page letter from Donaldʼs father that described the boy in obsessive detail as “happiest when he was alone… drawing into a shell and living within himself… oblivious to everything around him.” By Gerald D. Fischbach, December 7, 2007 | 6 min read
* Early observations have to be discredited when overcoming the dogma of any illness with unknown cause. Autism was susceptible to this viewpoint and still is…
* Andrew Wakefield, MD, 1998 made “seminal” observation (MMR vaccine associated with GI symptoms, lymphoid hyperplasia, pathological changes and then autism – he had to be discredited) then his paper was retracted and he had to be discredited. THE LANCET • Vol 351 • February 28, 1998, 637-641”Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children” ”…METHODS: 12 children (mean age 6 years [range 3–10], 11 boys) were referred to a paediatric gastroenterology unit with a history of normal development followed by loss of acquired skills, including language, together with diarrhoea and abdominal pain... FINDINGS: Onset of behavioural symptoms was associated, by the parents, with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination in eight of the 12 children, with measles infection in one child, and otitis media in another. All 12 children had intestinal abnormalities, ranging from lymphoid nodular hyperplasia to aphthoid ulceration… Behavioural disorders included autism (nine), disintegrative psychosis (one), and possible postviral or vacinal encephalitis (two). There were no focal neurological abnormalities and MRI and EEG tests were normal. Abnormal laboratory results were significantly raised urinary methylmalonic acid compared with age-matched controls (p=0·003), low hemoglobin in four children, and a low serum IgA in four children…INTERPRETATION: We identified associated gastrointestinal disease and developmental regression in a group of previously normal children, which was generally associated in time with possible environmental triggers…” [THIS PAPER WAS RETRACTED]
* Initial medical observations are many times ridiculed
* Multiple combinations of vaccines as risk factor – reviewed 30,000 house holds surveyed – published early 1990 – Gayle Delong – 4 doses of DPT, 3 doses of polio, 1 dose of any measles vaccines, 3 doses of haemophilus fluenza vaccine, 3 doses of hepatitis B – the risk for Autism really began to increase. Combinations of vaccines increase risk.

* Combination of insults all at once is a significant risk factor
* Aluminum – multiple papers
* Thiomersal (is an organomercury compound that has been used as a preservative in vaccines, antiseptics, and other medical products) - multiple papers
* Peanuts allergies, food allergies increasing, not just Autism
* Fluoride in the water supply related to reduction in children’s IQ 1) Tooth decay prevention and neurodevelopmental disorder risk following childhood fluoride exposure
* Aluminum in water supply is a significant risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (Dr. McCullough has significant concerns about this fact)
* 49,000 children who were Medicaid recipients in Florida at 9 years of age had Autism or other neurologic disorders – 10% had no Medicaid visits for vaccination while 90% have visits for vaccination. Opportunity for a study to observe a Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated comparison. Vaccines were clearly associated with the development of autism in this study of Medicaid children. The more shots they got the more the risk of autism.
* Vaccine Schedule: 1962 Dr. McCullough’s childhood vaccine schedule included 3 shots covering 5 diseases; 2024 there is confusion over the total number 88-113 shots given in the vaccine schedule? Depends on how many Covid shots ones child gets?
* Concerned about compound vaccinations – a battery of shots around 1 to 9-15 months. There is 16 different ingredients in these combination shots.
* 78% of SIDS occurs within 1 week after a battery of vaccinations, 50% occur within 48 hours. SIDS is tightly and temporarily associated with a big battery of vaccines
* A representative from Louisiana tried to get legislation to have an autopsy on all SIDS deaths and correlate them with vaccination implementation – coroners refused to do it. They did not want to see it the results that they new what the outcome would be? Vaccines correlated with SIDS deaths?
* The CDC ACIP panel (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) was suspended by RFK. They added the Covid vaccines onto the childhood schedule under Emergency Use Authorization which provided no testing for teratogenicity, carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, no safety studies OVER time, no LARGE randomized placebo controlled trials, no clinical or medical necessity
* There is dramatically dropping confidence in vaccines. 10% of parents not getting Covid vaccines for their children
* 1 paper related Covid vaccines linked to Autism - cytokines going into the brain
* World Council for Health-Physician led – 2023 – CDC – urged to wait on all vaccines. “A common sense approach is needed” (Spike Protein Detox Summary )
* Safer when given individually than all at once, given later, not give to everyone from a population point of view, give with medical necessity, not given to everyone
* Give vaccines because of risk
* Can’t be one size fits all when it comes to vaccines
* Autism amenable to epidemiologic investigation of risk factors
* Vaccine Risk - medical necessity, clinical indication
* You don’t give 16 drugs together
In Review Risk Factors for Autism…
* Genetic predisposition
* Older age of parents
* Preterm delivery before 37 weeks
* Immune system dysregulation - trigger
* Febrile seizures of any cause
* Cumulative early childhood vaccination
* Use the term Risk Factor, instead of Cause
* Risk Factors easy to discuss
* Easy to do study on health effects of vaccines since there are many who still want to vaccinate there children and a significant portion who don’t want their children vaccinated
* Can do detailed neuropsychiatric testing a baseline
* Autism is a BIG problem
* Can do LARGE prospective, cohort studies NOW…

CAUTION ONE: If you are eating eggs daily and you have some chronic condition, especially a pain condition (i.e. joints, back, anywhere or bowel condition, or fatigue) go off eggs completely for 2 weeks. They could be a cause or aggravation of a chronic complaint. I see this a lot because eggs are so popular, cheap and easy to eat.

Electric Vehicles: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly The Documentary TrailerOutstanding! I have watched it 3 times. Well worth the $12.99. “…Starring renowned TV and radio personality Larry Elder, "Electric Vehicles: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" is an investigative documentary produced by Impactful Pictures that explores the multifaceted revolution of electric vehicles (EVs), shedding light on not just the environmental promises but also the challenges and potential pitfalls of this EV revolution. As EV sales soar and governments around the world are mandating a ban on the sale of gas-powered cars, the debate on whether EVs are better for the planet than gas-powered cars is heating up, and the question of choosing between EVs and gas-powered cars is not science fiction but a reality that millions of car buyers are facing. Combining expert interviews, on-the-ground reporting, and cutting-edge research, the documentary examines the technological, environmental, and political factors that shape the electric vehicle landscape including China’s dominance in the EV industry and the potential vulnerabilities of EVs, which could be prone to hacking and excessive government control. Prepare to be both entertained and enlightened as the film leads the viewers on a journey to understand the broader impacts of what might be the most significant shift in transportation in our era...”

AUTISM INCIDENCE - 2025 - CDC- Prevalence and Early Identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder Among Children Aged 4 and 8 Years — Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, 16 Sites, United States, 2022. Surveillance Summaries / April 17, 2025 / 74(2);1–22. (1 in 31 or 32.25/1000)
AUTISM INCIDENCE - 2000- CDC - Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorders --- Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, Six Sites, United States, 2000. (6.7/1000)
AUTISM INCIDENCE - RESOURCE - AUTISM SPEAKS - Autism prevalence rises to 1 in 31 children in the U.S. April 15, 2025. Source: “Autism Speaks” Website”…2025 autism prevalence in the U.S.
The updated prevalence report reflects both progress and persistent disparities in early identification and access to services. Increased autism awareness, better screening and broader diagnostic criteria have helped more children—especially those in historically under-served communities—get diagnosed earlier. But the data also points to critical gaps that must be addressed. Key findings include:
Prevalence
* 1 in 31 (or 3.2%) 8-year-old children were diagnosed with autism in 2022, up from 1 in 36 (2.7%) in 2020.
* Among 4-year-old children, autism prevalence was 1 in 34 (or 2.9%), with sharp increases in diagnosis rates around 36 months—possibly reflecting increased use of telehealth during the pandemic.
* Boys were 3.4 times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with autism.
* Prevalence was lowest among white children (2.7%) and highest among American Indian or Alaska Native children (3.8%), Asian or Pacific Islander children (3.8%) and Black children (3.7%). Hispanic (3.3%) and multiracial (3.2%) children also had higher rates of diagnosis than white children. This continues a trend first seen in 2020 and points to progress in autism identification in historically under-served communities.
* In 5 surveillance sites, autism prevalence was higher in areas with lower median household income or greater social vulnerability.
Co-occurring conditions
* Over a third (39.6%) of children with autism also had co-occurring intellectual disability. This number was even higher among Black children (52.8%) and American Indian or Alaska Native children (50%), possibly due to factors like lower income, food and housing insecurity, or limited access to early intervention…” Source: “Autism Speaks” Website

Dr McCullough’s keynote speech (starts at 6:00 min mark) was from an epidemiologist’s point of view…Think about Autism as a complexed problem…Think of Autism in the terms of “Determinants or Risk Factors”…
* Martin Luther 1483 noted a 12 year-old boy with features of autism
* Case in Scotland 1747
* Dr. Leo Kanner 1943 11 cases
* Probably 80 years into Autism epidemic
* Asperger’s Syndrome 1944 – defined high function Autism
* Autistic children many times from very intelligent parents
* Use Risk Factors instead of Causes for evaluating Autism
* The rise in Autism is unquestionable – not just early diagnosis
* If we don’t deal with Autism epidemic now we could be consumed by it
* Since 2016 Autism incidence has doubled
* Something must be happening in a very rapid phase?
* What changed so rapidly?
* Genetics
* Immune dysregulation - childhood vaccines?
* Environment
* Microbiome
* Genetic risk factors – common variation – not family lineage
* Some role for genetic pre-disposition
* Cellular energy dysfunction, mitochondrial abnormalities
* MTHFR - Autism (75-90% MTHFR defect) methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase enzyme – methylates proteins in the body – utilizes B12, B6, folate (C6777t) – 25% of white individuals have mutation which doesn’t process these vitamins well enough and the neurons get dysfunctional
* Example Spina Bifida – neural tube defect at bottom of spine – folate supplementation resolved it
* Pre-term delivery – incidence of autism 20%, delivery before 37 weeks
* Parental age – father > 40 years, mother >35 more likely to have autistic child with odds ratio 1.47. 47% excess risk
* Immune dysregulation – vaccines appear to be a modifiable risk factor
* Journal of Autoimmunity 2016 – Risk Factors for Autism – Thinking Outside the Brain. Immune dysfunction (immune system - white blood cells, antibodies, cytokines, complement) Risk factors in autism: Thinking outside the brain
* Cytokines must play a role in Autism. They may be dramatically activated with vaccines, especially large groups like 16 at a time
* Cytokines responsible for fever
* Febrile seizures risk factor – neurologic damage – development of Autism (3-4% of children per year may have febrile seizures). Can lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
* Vaccines can cause febrile seizures – more likely to occur with combination vaccines. How much of the 3-4% of febrile seizures are caused by vaccines"?
* The intensity and frequency of childhood vaccines are a risk factor for febrile seizures
* 10% of audience had a child with a febrile seizure
* When a child has a febrile seizure there is a 41% chance of developing – epilepsy, tick, ADHD, autism. You don’t want a child to have a high temperature that would result in a seizure
* 3-4% of population have a febrile seizure – 41% of those who febrile seizures have a chance of having a neurologic issue (epilepsy, tick, ADHD, autism) – 1-2% rate of autism
* Immune dysregulation – 1943, Leo Kennar, 11 cases of Autism, 1 patient got a smallpox vaccine – got a fever, had GI symptoms, over the next few months the mother describes symptoms of classic Autism 1) Kanner L. Autistic disturbances of affective contact. Nervous Child 2, 217-250 (1943) PDF2) Leo Kanner’s 1943 paper on autism. “…Donald T. was not like other 5-year-old boys. Leo Kanner knew that the moment he read the 33-page letter from Donaldʼs father that described the boy in obsessive detail as “happiest when he was alone… drawing into a shell and living within himself… oblivious to everything around him.” By Gerald D. Fischbach, December 7, 2007 | 6 min read
* Early observations have to be discredited when overcoming the dogma of any illness with unknown cause. Autism was susceptible to this viewpoint and still is…
* Andrew Wakefield, MD, 1998 made “seminal” observation (MMR vaccine associated with GI symptoms, lymphoid hyperplasia, pathological changes and then autism – he had to be discredited) then his paper was retracted and he had to be discredited. THE LANCET • Vol 351 • February 28, 1998, 637-641”Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children” ”…METHODS: 12 children (mean age 6 years [range 3–10], 11 boys) were referred to a paediatric gastroenterology unit with a history of normal development followed by loss of acquired skills, including language, together with diarrhoea and abdominal pain... FINDINGS: Onset of behavioural symptoms was associated, by the parents, with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination in eight of the 12 children, with measles infection in one child, and otitis media in another. All 12 children had intestinal abnormalities, ranging from lymphoid nodular hyperplasia to aphthoid ulceration… Behavioural disorders included autism (nine), disintegrative psychosis (one), and possible postviral or vacinal encephalitis (two). There were no focal neurological abnormalities and MRI and EEG tests were normal. Abnormal laboratory results were significantly raised urinary methylmalonic acid compared with age-matched controls (p=0·003), low hemoglobin in four children, and a low serum IgA in four children…INTERPRETATION: We identified associated gastrointestinal disease and developmental regression in a group of previously normal children, which was generally associated in time with possible environmental triggers…” [THIS PAPER WAS RETRACTED]
* Initial medical observations are many times ridiculed
* Multiple combinations of vaccines as risk factor – reviewed 30,000 house holds surveyed – published early 1990 – Gayle Delong – 4 doses of DPT, 3 doses of polio, 1 dose of any measles vaccines, 3 doses of haemophilus fluenza vaccine, 3 doses of hepatitis B – the risk for Autism really began to increase. Combinations of vaccines increase risk.

* Combination of insults all at once is a significant risk factor
* Aluminum – multiple papers
* Thiomersal (is an organomercury compound that has been used as a preservative in vaccines, antiseptics, and other medical products) - multiple papers
* Peanuts allergies, food allergies increasing, not just Autism
* Fluoride in the water supply related to reduction in children’s IQ 1) Tooth decay prevention and neurodevelopmental disorder risk following childhood fluoride exposure
* Aluminum in water supply is a significant risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (Dr. McCullough has significant concerns about this fact)
* 49,000 children who were Medicaid recipients in Florida at 9 years of age had Autism or other neurologic disorders – 10% had no Medicaid visits for vaccination while 90% have visits for vaccination. Opportunity for a study to observe a Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated comparison. Vaccines were clearly associated with the development of autism in this study of Medicaid children. The more shots they got the more the risk of autism.
* Vaccine Schedule: 1962 Dr. McCullough’s childhood vaccine schedule included 3 shots covering 5 diseases; 2024 there is confusion over the total number 88-113 shots given in the vaccine schedule? Depends on how many Covid shots ones child gets?
* Concerned about compound vaccinations – a battery of shots around 1 to 9-15 months. There is 16 different ingredients in these combination shots.
* 78% of SIDS occurs within 1 week after a battery of vaccinations, 50% occur within 48 hours. SIDS is tightly and temporarily associated with a big battery of vaccines
* A representative from Louisiana tried to get legislation to have an autopsy on all SIDS deaths and correlate them with vaccination implementation – coroners refused to do it. They did not want to see it the results that they new what the outcome would be? Vaccines correlated with SIDS deaths?
* The CDC ACIP panel (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) was suspended by RFK. They added the Covid vaccines onto the childhood schedule under Emergency Use Authorization which provided no testing for teratogenicity, carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, no safety studies OVER time, no LARGE randomized placebo controlled trials, no clinical or medical necessity
* There is dramatically dropping confidence in vaccines. 10% of parents not getting Covid vaccines for their children
* 1 paper related Covid vaccines linked to Autism - cytokines going into the brain
* World Council for Health-Physician led – 2023 – CDC – urged to wait on all vaccines. “A common sense approach is needed” (Spike Protein Detox Summary )
* Safer when given individually than all at once, given later, not give to everyone from a population point of view, give with medical necessity, not given to everyone
* Give vaccines because of risk
* Can’t be one size fits all when it comes to vaccines
* Autism amenable to epidemiologic investigation of risk factors
* Vaccine Risk - medical necessity, clinical indication
* You don’t give 16 drugs together
In Review Risk Factors for Autism…
* Genetic predisposition
* Older age of parents
* Preterm delivery before 37 weeks
* Immune system dysregulation - trigger
* Febrile seizures of any cause
* Cumulative early childhood vaccination
* Use the term Risk Factor, instead of Cause
* Risk Factors easy to discuss
* Easy to do study on health effects of vaccines since there are many who still want to vaccinate there children and a significant portion who don’t want their children vaccinated
* Can do detailed neuropsychiatric testing a baseline
* Autism is a BIG problem
* Can do LARGE prospective, cohort studies NOW…

KIRK’S COMMENT: On paper an egg seems to be a perfect food. A high quality protein and easy to prepare and eat and a relatively cheap source of protein. But you might not have them every day. Maybe a couple of times per week and watch out for any symptoms. CAUTION ONE: If you are eating eggs daily and you have some chronic condition, especially a pain condition (i.e. joints, back, anywhere or bowel condition, or fatigue) go off eggs completely for 2 weeks. They could be a cause or aggravation of a chronic complaint. I see this a lot because eggs are so popular, cheap and easy to eat.

Electric Vehicles: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly The Documentary TrailerOutstanding! I have watched it 3 times. Well worth the $12.99. “…Starring renowned TV and radio personality Larry Elder, "Electric Vehicles: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" is an investigative documentary produced by Impactful Pictures that explores the multifaceted revolution of electric vehicles (EVs), shedding light on not just the environmental promises but also the challenges and potential pitfalls of this EV revolution. As EV sales soar and governments around the world are mandating a ban on the sale of gas-powered cars, the debate on whether EVs are better for the planet than gas-powered cars is heating up, and the question of choosing between EVs and gas-powered cars is not science fiction but a reality that millions of car buyers are facing. Combining expert interviews, on-the-ground reporting, and cutting-edge research, the documentary examines the technological, environmental, and political factors that shape the electric vehicle landscape including China’s dominance in the EV industry and the potential vulnerabilities of EVs, which could be prone to hacking and excessive government control. Prepare to be both entertained and enlightened as the film leads the viewers on a journey to understand the broader impacts of what might be the most significant shift in transportation in our era...”
