Vaccines, Pharmaceutical Drugs, and Autoimmunity
In my upcoming book, The End of Autoimmunity, I explain how common medical interventions contribute to the rise of autoimmune disease. One of the most overlooked factors is vaccination. The following excerpt outlines my concerns about vaccines, pharmaceutical drugs, and their role in driving autoimmunity.
Childhood Vaccines A Changing Landscape
Vaccines have become an increasingly controversial topic in recent years.
When I was growing up, practically everyone was fully vaccinated. We received a handful of vaccines from birth to adulthood.
Today, the number of doses is much greater than it ever was. My suspicions were raised about vaccines in medical school, when my mentor, Dr. Tom Platts-Mills, asked me why we give the hepatitis B vaccine to newborns. Hepatitis B is a virus that is spread via blood or sexual contact. Why do we give this to newborns? They shouldn't be having sexual contact with anyone, nor should they be exposed to blood via needles.
Aluminum and Its Consequences
Years later, I discovered the work of Christopher Exley, PhD, FRS. Exley is one of (if not the) world's foremost researchers on aluminum and its toxicology. Exley's book is a scathing indictment of the practice of aluminum use in consumer packaged goods, including medications such as vaccines.
The literature is clear to anyone who can read between the lines, to see what researchers won't say for danger of losing their jobs and their research funding.
Aluminum is a major driver of autism, dementia, autoimmunity, and chronic diseases of all kinds.
Rethinking the “Benefits” of Vaccination
During COVID-19, I started reading more and more about vaccines. I refused the flu shot that year and did not take the COVID-19 shots.
Why did I do this?
As I read deeper and deeper into the controversies surrounding vaccines, I became convinced that the evidence for vaccines was smoke and mirrors. I became convinced that the diseases vaccines prevented were, for the most part, mild childhood illnesses that may even protect our health by strengthening our immune systems.
The two books that changed my mind were:
Both document the historical revisionism and selective science that built the vaccine empire.
The COVID Shots Red Flags from the Beginning
Before the COVID shots were even released, I spoke at a medical freedom rally, warning about what was coming. Later, I even went undercover with Project Veritas to uncover the truth about these products.
As the rollout began, I started to see something chilling: vaccine injuries in my own patients.
Here are just a few stories.
Vaccine-Induced Vasculitis A Cautionary Tale
John, a retired tech-company founder, came to me with frightening episodes of fainting and severe blood pressure swings shortly after his COVID shots.
He had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and placed on high-dose thyroid hormone, which only worsened his condition. By the time he reached me, he was rapidly losing weight and terrified he’d collapse and die.
We corrected his thyroid dosing, restored key nutrients, and stabilized him. But his kidneys began to decline, something I suspect was linked to vascular inflammation triggered by the vaccines.
John had been healthy and vibrant before. The shots changed everything.
Bipolar Blues A Cautionary Tale
Tom, a skilled technician, took the shots only because the Department of Defense required them for access to his workplace. Almost immediately, his mental health collapsed.
He spiraled into depression, then mania. Hospitalized, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, something he had never experienced before vaccination.
After exhausting psychiatric medications and even undergoing 20 rounds of electroconvulsive therapy, he came to us. Hormone support restored him dramatically, but stopping his psychiatric medications too abruptly sent him back into mania.
His wife confirmed that the mania started only after the vaccination. His career, his stability, his life, derailed.
Depression and Hopelessness: A Cautionary Tale
Paul was living his dream, newly remarried, retired, and working as a fishing guide, until the COVID shots. Then came a crushing depression.
He tried ivermectin on his own with modest benefit. When I adjusted his dose, his depression lifted almost overnight. With the addition of basic nutrient support, he regained his joy.
But for years, the vaccines robbed him of the very life he had built.
Where the Evidence Points
These stories are not isolated. I’ve heard countless similar accounts from patients across the country. Vaccine injury is real.
And choosing not to vaccinate is no longer fringe. Americans are walking away in droves, disillusioned by what they’ve seen in their friends and families.
The conclusion is inescapable:
Vaccines are toxic.
Vaccines are dangerous.
Vaccines are unnecessary.
I predict that within a few generations, almost no one will take them. Those who refuse will thrive compared to those who comply.
The future belongs to the unvaccinated.

I’d really like to listen to your live autoimmunity masterclass - I follow you from the UK ….. sadly I can’t stay up that late in the past I’ve been able to listen to the recordings for which I’m grateful
- just mentioning in case 😊
My son was diagnosed with lupus and medication hasn't been thoroughly helpful. Its been one episodes to the other. Looking at him even now
