How Big Pharma Weaponized Vaccines

Today — All you need to know about autoimmunity and related conditions like diabetes, arthritis, allergies and MS: How are these health problems related to vaccination? Plus, a sneak-peek into Sherri Tenpenny’s new book, “ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY IN A FAILED SYSTEM: How Big Pharma Weaponizes Vaccines, Public Health, and the Law.” Watch “Pediatric Perspectives” for the details!

If people were given a resource that laid out the chronology of immunization, would they still vaccinate? Billions of people, all across the world, have either received a shot or been recommended to get one. And every day, novel injections are being developed, tested and rolled out to the public. While many are refused proper informed consent, others remain ignorant to the dangers of these products because of censorship. That is why Shaz Khan has written a tool, referencing over fifteen hundred years worth of information, pertaining to the timeline of vaccination. This essential resource is made for everyone — whether a parent or practitioner, student or scientist, representative or researcher. Find out more about its release with Shaz Khan and Paul Thomas on “Pediatric Perspectives” this week!

COVID shot recommendations have been updated by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. As someone who has both been a fierce advocate for early treatment to combat the virus and spoken out about the dangers of the injections, Peter McCullough, M.D., M.P.H. is the perfect person to discuss these changes. Hear from Dr. McCullough and Paul Thomas, M.D. on today’s episode of “Pediatric Perspectives” to learn the details!
