We broke a story this week!

Dear Subscribers, 

We broke a story this week! 

Actor Liam Neeson, Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF and former advocate for vaccines recently narrated a conspiratorial documentary that spread misinformation about vaccinations, the origins of COVID, and pandemic mitigation measures. Plague of Corruption: 80 Years of Pharmaceutical Corruption Exposed also frames Health & Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as our saving grace, despite MAHA policies and rhetoric already leading to deaths of children due to preventable diseases like measles and pertussis. 

The film is based on a book co-authored by disgraced researcher Dr. Judy Mikovits—known for her role in the Plandemic series, for having a central paper of hers debunked and retracted, and for getting arrested for stealing notebooks from the lab where she worked—and COVID contrarian attorney Kent Heckenlively. The book, unsurprisingly, was published by Children’s Health Defense, the multimillion‑dollar anti-vax group founded by Kennedy.
