The safety study every man or woman that has ever questioned vaccine safety have asked for, and that every government and health agency around the world seem to have found utterly unnessesary WAS done. Only it was not published. It was meant to be used to silence vaccine critique, but as the results simply proved vaccines are not safe, the study was buried. The documentary An Inconvenient Study, winner of Best of Festival Award at the premiere at the 2025 Malibu International Film Festival, presents the facts around the cumbersome Henry Ford Health Study.
The Henry Ford Health Study: Unreleased Data and the Implications for Childhood Vaccination Policy
The unpublished study was conducted by the Henry Ford Health System between 2017 and 2020 examined electronic medical records of approximately 18,500 children born between 2000 and 2016 within the health network. Originally commissioned to provide evidence supporting the safety of childhood vaccinations, the research instead uncovered significant differences in health outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated children. The analysis indicated that vaccinated children had a 2.5-fold increased likelihood of developing chronic health conditions overall. Detailed findings included: a 4.29-fold (329%) higher risk for asthma; a threefold (200%) increase in atopic diseases such as eczema; nearly a sixfold (500%) rise in autoimmune disorders, encompassing more than 80 specific conditions; a 5.5-fold (450%) elevation in neurodevelopmental disorders; a 2.9-fold (190%) increase in motor disabilities; a 4.5-fold (350%) higher incidence of speech disorders; a threefold (200%) rise in developmental delays; and a sixfold (500%) greater occurrence of acute and chronic ear infections. Notably, in the subgroup of nearly 2,000 unvaccinated children, there were no reported cases of ADHD, diabetes, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, tics, or other psychological disorders. The full report, titled “Impact of Childhood Vaccination on Short- and Long-Term Chronic Health Outcomes in Children: A Birth Cohort Study,” is now publicly available as a PDF via the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The document was obtained through a subpoena by attorney Aaron Siri and presented during U.S. Senate hearings in September 2025, where it was described as pivotal evidence in ongoing inquiries into vaccine policy transparency.
These results ran counter to the researchers’ expectations, leading to the decision not to publish the study formally or subject it to peer review. Dr. Marcus Zervos, the lead investigator and an infectious disease specialist, has stated in interviews that releasing the findings could end his professional career: “Publishing something like that, I might as well retire. I’d be finished.”
The research originated from a 2016 challenge issued by Del Bigtree, executive producer and founder of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), directed at the head of infectious diseases at a major health institution. This study forms the core of the documentary An Inconvenient Study, produced by ICAN and directed by Bigtree. The 90-minute film premiered worldwide on October 12, 2025, at the Malibu International Film Festival. It incorporates hidden camera footage, expert interviews, and archival materials to trace the study’s inception, analysis, and subsequent suppression. Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough appears in the film, stressing the importance of public access to the data for advancing global child health initiatives. The documentary critiques aspects of vaccine clinical trial designs, and points out the absence of true inert placebos in control groups. It argues for the inclusion of unvaccinated cohorts in future research and highlights unvaccinated children as demonstrating lower rates of chronic illnesses. The film urges a comprehensive reassessment of childhood vaccination schedules to ensure robust safety data.
An Inconvenient Study is available for free streaming and download and ICAN has encouraged its dissemination across social media and other platforms.
The film’s premiere screening earned it the Best of Festival Award at the 2025 Malibu International Film Festival, with organizers commending its rigorous examination of public health issues. Jenny McCarthy, present at the event, described the experience as profoundly affecting. The festival included a live stream commencing at 8 p.m. ET, which drew a large audience for the screening, red-carpet activities, and post-event dialogue. The emergence of An Inconvenient Study and the Henry Ford study invites scrutiny of established vaccination protocols in light of increasing chronic disease trends among youth, vaccine safety and the critical implications for pediatric care and principles of informed consent.
The film is already hailed as one of the most influential works on children’s health.
