Timely Truths
"An Inconvenient Study" recap in light of the CDC's immunization updates, ozone castor oil, and a final thought for an intentional 2026.
AN INCONVENIENT STUDY
It felt timely to highlight the documentary An Inconvenient Study, given the CDC’s updates to the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule earlier this week.
The CDC’s changes focus on three groups, with a reduced recommended schedule intended to better align with peer nations. This newsletter by board-certified pediatrician Dr. Joel Gator offers a concise breakdown. This follow-up post addresses legitimate concerns.
Back to the documentary: it’s under 90 minutes and, in my view, well worth a watch — even if only out of cautious curiosity.
A few key highlights:
We’re told the 72 previously recommended dosages were safe and effective. But “not one has ever been subject to a pre-licensing placebo-controlled trial” - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (Note: While placebo-controlled trials are considered the gold standard for pharmaceutical products, the topic is nuanced. Ethical considerations are cited as the defense for placebo groups receiving older versions of a vaccine or an active control rather than an inert saline placebo.)
Based on the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, you “can’t sue a manufacturer of a vaccine; it’s one of the only products in America that has what they call liability protection.”
Uncomfortable Studies
Protection at a high price: A comparative study conducted by Dr. Peter Aaby of vaccinated and unvaccinated children receiving the DTP vaccine in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa, found that while immunization protected against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, the vaccinated group had a higher overall mortality rate.
“…the vaccine did protect against the disease they were vaccinated for — the kids didn’t die of diphtheria, tetanus, or pertussis — only one problem… they were dying at a 5× rate from all these other issues.”
Why hasn’t a study been disclosed that clearly shows fully vaccinated children have better overall health outcomes than unvaccinated children?
Marcus J. Zervos, MD, infectious disease expert at Henry Ford Health System, produced “Impact of Childhood Vaccination on Short- and Long-Term Chronic Health Outcomes in Children: A Birth Cohort Study,” but it was never published.
Zervos states in the documentary, “It’s important information because it did show a difference between the groups,” but “publishing something like that, I might as well retire — I’d be finished.”
The study states, “ …in contrast to our expectations, we found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an overall 2.5-fold increase in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition, when compared to children unexposed to vaccination.”
The film and buried study highlight the need for critical analysis and additional research:
“Can we say that the Henry Ford study proves that vaccines are causing the chronic disease epidemic? No, we cannot. A retrospective study does not prove causation. What we can say is that we believe it is showing a signal — a red flag waved in the air by the scientific method.”
NOTE: A reanalysis of the original study, discussed during a September 2025 U.S. Senate hearing, found that “the data shows that for symptoms characteristic of neuropathies in the autism spectrum, there is a 5.491-fold increase in the vaccinated cohort.”

OZONATED CASTOR OIL
This organic, cold-pressed castor oil is enhanced with ozone, making it a standout moisturizer with antibacterial and antifungal properties. It’s great for cuts, burns, dry spots, and may even lighten stretch marks. I get adventurous and use it as an eye cream. It’s thick and sticky, though, so it’s best applied before sleep.
