On September 25th, on his show “The HighWire,” Del Bigtree reported that HFH had sent ICAN a cease-and-desist” letter on Sept 19th. He showed excerpts including, “the truth is that the draft study did not proceed past initial co-author and internal independent peer reviews and was never submitted due to significant and serious flaws in its data and methodology.” (@5:13)*6
Detroit Free Press reporter Kristen Shamus interviewed Christine Cole Johnson (HFH Chair of Public Health Science)*17 who was the boss of the study's co-author Dr. Lois Lamerato. Johnson claimed “she” [Dr. Lois Lamerato] came to her with concerns about her “draft” ...” Johnson called the “fatally flawed” study “among the "worst studies I've ever seen” … "If this had been submitted to a journal of any credibility, they would have laughed it off." She described what she alleged were “multiple problems with the design … [five serious] flaws*7 in research.”
In contrast to Johnson's claim, I think that Aaron Siri (ICAN's attorney who presented the study at the Sept 9th hearing) tells a more credible story about what actually happened during the so-called HFH “internal peer review” process:
“The study was “set to be submitted for publication [not a “draft”] in a medical journal after it was completed, but the researchers did not go through with the submission. I met with Dr . Lamerto ask why it was not submitted. She reaffirmed that she and Dr. Zervos both thought their study was well designed, executed, and worthy of publication [so much for Johnson's claim that Lamerato “had concerns”]*12
“The issue, she [Lamerato] explained, was that the higher-ups [Johnson, etc.] at Henry Ford Health, to whom she was required to send a copy before submission, made it plain that they did not want it submitted for publication.”*12
“I [Siri] kept asking what the substantive grounds were for not submitting. The reasons provided [HFH's & Johnson's list of “serious flaws”]*7 were easily addressed. They were all plainly pretextual … they were excuses, not reasons to not submit for publication. The real reason it was not submitted for publication, no doubt, was because of its finding that vaxxed children suffered from multiple times the rate of various serious ailments.”*12
Why did Zervos fear losing his career? I believe the answer lies with HFH's so-called “internal independent peer review.” This appears to be Henry Ford PR speak for “your bosses gate-keep your work and shove it in a drawer if they don't like it”! Although, it's not clear to me how your bosses are your “peers”? Or how an employee is “independent” of his bosses!).

I did not take that as an insinuation. Everyone is different and while some may be prone to vax injuries, others are not. I worked as a MA in pediatrics for 20 years. I administered many, many vaccines during that period. It was my training and I believed in the benefits of the regimen. I cannot point to any of MY patients having an immediate adverse reaction directly from vaccinations. My children received all their vaccines and thankfully did well. Did I see a general exponential increase of cases of Autism, ADHD, Obesity, and other disorders? Yes, I did. Did I correlate them solely with vaccinations? I did not because we have also been exposed to environmental chemicals and disrupters, radiation, ultra processed foods, laxed parenting (or lack of knowledge). There’s also the genetic makeup of each individual that may also be triggered. That said, in my last years I did more triage and had many conversations and there were the few that had concerns about vaccines causing certain issues in their children and wanting to halt or stagger vaccines… I think parents should not be forced to take vaccines for their children if they don’t want them. Protocols should be in place because inevitably people may get sick with some of these “childhood “ illnesses, but parents should have the choice and then be educated on other ways to keep children healthy. We don’t have enough children as it is and we certainly don’t want to see an increase of children dying before the age of 5 as it was 100-125 years ago.
I didn’t say that. I said I didn’t witness any adverse effects from vaccines in any of the patients I personally took care of from infancy into adulthood, that includes my own children. I can also attest that I saw newborn babies that already had issues that later would be diagnosed as autism, pervasive developmental delays, and other neurodevelopmental issues. That could be for another number of reasons.
Just as its true that MAHA derives from MAGA, it is equally true that An Inconvenient Study
originates from grifter Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth.
Studies are considered to be evidence. The Philosophy of Health "trumps" any study when comprehension is adequate. Researchers are unwilling to sacrifice their careers
for science and evidence until Conscience forces the hand usually at retirement as we see in this case.
The fork in the road? Getting people to believe that health comes from needles.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was some deeper game going on here, and Zervos arranged to allow Bigtree to "covertly" record their conversation, for the very reasons stated in the recorded interview.

How do you know children were not harmed. I was normal until the polio oral vaccine was given. I still have issues but no study done?
I didn’t say that. I said I didn’t witness any adverse effects from vaccines in any of the patients I personally took care of from infancy into adulthood, that includes my own children. I can also attest that I saw newborn babies that already had issues that later would be diagnosed as autism, pervasive developmental delays, and other neurodevelopmental issues.

Who was the CEO of the HFHF during the time of this study? Was the CEO Wright Lassiter who now heads CommonSpirit?
