(The Defender)—Public health agencies have refused to study or to publicly release data comparing the health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children, according to experts who spoke during Monday’s Senate roundtable discussion on “Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel.”
The roundtable, hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson, also focused on COVID-19 vaccine contamination, the development of COVID-19 vaccines as part of bioweapons research and on censorship of journalists and scientists.
Brian Hooker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer for Children’s Health Defense (CHD), participated in the roundtable. He told The Defender that the corruption of public health agencies was an “issue [that] came up again and again, with solid data,” during the roundtable.

Hooker, who also appeared on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” on Monday to discuss how the current childhood vaccination schedule is harmful to children’s health, said CHD’s presence at the roundtable was important.
“It was very significant for CHD to have a seat at the table at the briefing and also significant how much Sen. Johnson knew of and appreciated our work,” he said. “We have a much wider reach than we give ourselves credit for and I believe we’ll get more such invitations to speak to and influence congressional representatives.”
“Sen. Johnson and several others are highly energized regarding the woeful pandemic response, including the society-wide release of mRNA technology, with an astounding increase in vaccine adverse events,” Hooker added.
‘Cumulative effect’ of childhood vaccine schedule has never been tested
During Monday’s roundtable, Hooker provided an overview of the childhood vaccination schedule in the U.S. and its expansion over the years.
“In 1962, children received five vaccine doses. In 1986, the schedule expanded to 25 doses of five different vaccine formulations. Shortly after the passage of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, the law was amended to … erect a liability shield protecting vaccine manufacturers — and the schedule expanded dramatically.”
"For every one child that is saved from death from COVID-19, there are 30 child deaths associated with the COVID-19 vaccine."

The vaccine schedule has continued to expand. “By 2023, 73 doses of 16 different vaccine formulations were given to children up to age 18,” he said, adding that this expansion occurred despite a lack of safety testing.
“The FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] approved these formulations individually only with minimal and inadequate safety testing, and the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] has never tested the cumulative effect of the vaccine schedule on childhood health outcomes,” he said.
During the roundtable, Del Bigtree, CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), also addressed the lack of sufficient testing.
“None of the 14 routine vaccines on the CDC’s recommended schedule … was ever put through long-term double-blind placebo-based safety trials prior to licensure,” Bigtree said. “Since this type of trial is really the only way to establish that a pharmaceutical product is safe, it is misinformation to state that the vaccines are safe.”
Hooker said research shows “that for every one child that is saved from death from COVID-19, there are 30 child deaths associated with the COVID-19 vaccine. So, the risk-to-benefit ratio in terms of mortality is 30 to 1.”
Bigtree said the incidence of chronic illness in children has significantly increased.
“In the 1980s, when we were giving 11 doses of about three vaccines, the chronic illness rate, which includes neurological and autoimmune disease, was 12.8%. Once we passed the 1986 Act and we had the gold rush of vaccines explode … the chronic illness rate, neurological and autoimmune disease skyrocket[ed] to 54%,” he said.
Bigtree also noted that the latter figure refers to data from 2011-2012, saying the situation may have worsened since then.
“We have no idea since then how bad this has gotten. But what you were looking at right there is the greatest decline in public health in human history,” he said.
Bigtree cited the Hepatitis B vaccine given to newborns as an example.
“The warning label lists nearly 50 potential side effects, many of them serious, and that is just the first vaccine given to a baby on their first day of life,” he said. “The safety study for that hepatitis B vaccine was only four days long and had no placebo comparator. That is not science, that’s insanity.”
“We currently have a lawsuit trying to have that vaccine removed until they do proper safety testing,” Bigtree said, referring to ICAN v. FDA, filed in March 2020 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. A decision is pending.
Government withholding data on outcomes for vaccinated, unvaccinated children
According to Hooker, government health agencies possess data on health outcomes for vaccinated and unvaccinated children but have refused to publicize it.
“They do not publish the results [or] let any independent scientist in to look at that information,” he said. “They refuse to publish the results and they really know why. It’s because the bloated vaccination schedule is responsible and is, I would say, in part responsible for the epidemic of chronic disorders that we see in children in the U.S.”
Hooker said public health agencies “have the records,” which are contained in “a database called the Vaccine Safety Datalink. It’s over 10 million individuals, with 2 million from 10 participating HMOs … I would say that within that database there are at least 10,000 unvaccinated children that can be studied.”
He added: “You are not able to access the Vaccine Safety Datalink, which has almost 30 years’ worth of research from these HMOs. It should be open to the public.”
Hooker said the CDC has not responded to “over 120 FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] requests” he submitted, adding that he has “gone through congressional representatives to get the Vaccine Safety Datalink itself. It is simply something that they will not do.”
According to Hooker, this is because of financial conflicts of interest involving the CDC.
“CDC buys and sells $5 billion worth of vaccines a year through the Vaccines for Children program. They also spend half a billion dollars a year … advertising and through public relationship campaigns for vaccinations in general, as compared to a woeful budget of $50 million that is being used for vaccine safety every year.”
During Monday’s roundtable, Rodney Palmer, a Canadian journalist formerly with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and CTV News, called for Big Pharma advertising and sponsorship of news programs to be investigated and prohibited.
Public health agencies ‘derelict in their duty … to protect children’
Speaking on the “War Room” Monday, Hooker said government health agencies have not fulfilled their duties toward the public.
“The CDC, FDA and NIH (National Institutes of Health) are derelict in their duty … to protect children and adults against vaccine injury in order to report to Congress the state of vaccine safety science, and their responsibility to the American public and to public health in order to protect the American public,” according to Hooker.
Hooker continued, “The CDC will not look at vaccinated versus unvaccinated children” because “they know what the outcome would be and independent researchers have shown that for a large number of chronic diseases, even infectious diseases, the unvaccinated children fare better, and the unvaccinated children are healthier.”
Noting that “28 vaccines are given in the first year of life, one vaccine on the first day of life and upwards to eight vaccines when an infant is just two months old,” Hooker said. “If you look at the aluminum toxicity alone, it far surpasses the single-day toxicity limit for aluminum exposure in newborns.”
“There is no study, no official study by the CDC, FDA, NIH where they’ve looked at the 28 vaccines in totality, what the cumulative effect would be versus completely unvaccinated children. They just refuse to do that study,” he said.
Hooker added that “When you look at developmental delays, when you look at asthma, when you look at ear infections, when you look at allergies, when you look at ADD [attention deficit disorder], ADHD [attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder], autism,” unvaccinated children fare “way better.”
Financial conflicts of interest involving public health agencies were further addressed by Booker in his interview with Bannon.
“50% of [the FDA’s] revenues come from Big Pharma through what’s called the Fast Track Program,” Hooker said.
“CDC buys and sells $5 billion worth of vaccines through the Vaccines for Children program. They buy them and then they distribute them to the public health departments of the states. And so, government agency capture is what follows from the financial entanglements with these agencies,” he added.
Hooker said this was the impetus for writing the book he co-authored with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., CHD’s chairman on leave, titled “Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak.”
“The reason why Kennedy and I wrote the book is, we wanted to do these comparisons and really emphasize these are studies that the government refused,” Hooker said.
‘Many more people’ questioning the ‘vaccine construct’
Hooker told Bannon that despite government censorship, an increasing percentage of the public is becoming aware of adverse health outcomes related to childhood vaccines.
He said:
“Before the COVID-19 vaccine or COVID-19 pandemic, those of us that were concerned about vaccine safety were considered to be on the fringes. But more and more people started to question the government’s motives, the foisting of a completely new genetic technology on the population, untested.
“And so, many, many more people are opting out of vaccination … and many, many more people besides that are questioning the whole vaccine construct.”
Hooker told Bannon he “want[s] to see us move from briefings to hearings” and called for legislation that would require “all of the books to be open.”
“All of that needs to be opened up. All the coffers, all the redacted emails from Tony Fauci and Francis Collins. Everything needs to [come to] light,” he said.
Separately, Hooker told The Defender that Johnson is planning on holding more briefings that are very similar in scope to Monday’s hearing. “Johnson and others in the U.S. Senate are poised to hold hearings and introduce legislation depending on what happens in the November elections,” he said.
Hooker said he’d like to see Congress apply more pressure on the CDC and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services “to release hidden information regarding the pandemic as well as the entirety of the Vaccine Safety Datalink.”
“I’ve tried for years to get them to release the data with no success,” he said. “I hope to continue to beat the drum with more powerful voices so the information will be released and available for independent scientists.”
