| - Hello and welcome. | |
| This is Mike Adams, the Health Ranger with naturalnews.com. | |
| And today we have joining us by phone for an exclusive interview is Leslie Mnookin. | |
| She's the co-creator of The Greater Good. | |
| It's a documentary about vaccines that dares to ask the questions that scientists refuse to ask. | |
| Yeah, you know, actual common sense questions about, hey, is it safe? | |
| Is it hurting anybody? | |
| And should it be mandated? | |
| Or should we have some freedom to decide what kind of healthcare procedures we want to be treated with? | |
| So here to address those issues and much more is Leslie joining us by phone. | |
| Hi, Leslie. | |
| Can you hear me okay? | |
| I can hear you just fine, Mike. | |
| Thanks so much for having me on the show today. | |
| You bet. | |
| Awesome to have you with us. | |
| Did I get your title right? | |
| Are you the co-creator of the film? | |
| Is that right? | |
| Well, the film was my idea. | |
| About 11 years ago, I learned that there were some potential causes for concern relating to vaccines, which was a shock to me because I'd always thought that they were like candy, that they couldn't possibly cause harm. | |
| Of course, we know candy can cause harm, but I didn't think that there was any reason to believe that vaccines were anything but the greatest gift to humankind. | |
| And then I read a book that made me think otherwise or made me start questioning some of those things that I believed. | |
| And so the film is a result of 11 years of research and dreaming about how to address this topic and a desire to go out and meet as many people in the industry, in the science as I possibly could, and tell their stories and their perspectives. | |
| Now, first, what's the website where people can see the previews of your film and get the DVD? And then secondly, how long did it take you to create this film? | |
| Our website is greatergoodmovie.org, and we also have links to Facebook and Twitter and things from there. | |
| If you go to the website, you can see the trailer and you can get all the background information, and there are many, many resources there as well. | |
| And as I mentioned, it took about 11 years from me first dreaming about making the film until completing it. | |
| Once we actually started production and really storyboarding and creating the film, that took about five years. | |
| It's a very, very intensive project, as you can imagine, in particular because it's such an inflammatory, incendiary kind of a topic, and we wanted to make sure that we really We understood the nuts and bolts of what we did and didn't know about vaccine science, what we did and didn't know about how vaccines act in the body, and that we accurately portrayed that to the American public. | |
| But isn't that interesting that in today's age of extreme vaccine politics where the science has admittedly been thrown out the window, it's really all just about what's politically correct now. | |
| I would imagine that you would be viciously attacked by the vaccine industry for just merely reporting actual scientific facts. | |
| Have you found that to be the case or what has been the reaction so far? | |
| Well, you know, it's really interesting. | |
| We did the film festival circuit for the first year that the film was complete. | |
| And we had an official from CDC actually come to one of our screenings last summer. | |
| And in the course of conversation with one of my partners afterwards, the CDC official said that he believed that That there was probably an expectation or a hope that the film would die a slow, quiet death amongst the vaccine authorities. | |
| And so I think it's been very interesting that we've actually been met with a lot of silence. | |
| You know, we went to many, many film festivals that are some of the most acclaimed, prestigious film festivals, and we were told by these film festivals that they loved our film, that they thought it was incredibly well produced, beautifully told, beautifully shot, provocative, and that they wanted to film in their beautifully shot, provocative, and that they wanted to film in their film And somebody over their heads in several of these festivals said no, and they told us that their hands were tied. | |
| Well, we find that throughout the vaccine industry. | |
| It's no longer about science. | |
| It's about control. | |
| But I think it's interesting that this even pertains to the media, Mike, because yes, that's the case in the mainstream media. | |
| But when you get to what most people would think are actually a safe place to get information, independent film festivals, you would have thought that they would be daring enough to actually want to explore important social and public health issues today. | |
| and yet somebody tied their hands. | |
| We found that very, very interesting and very sad. | |
| Well, it's funny, you know, a lot of people out there, they might say, well, they don't believe in conspiracy theories until they actually get involved in a project like this when you find out there is really a concerted effort to censor your message because your message threatens the entire, the false philosophical delusions, you might say, of the vaccine industry. | |
| And let's talk about that next. | |
| One of the key elements that scientists, so-called scientists, put forth Well, I guess the core beliefs are, number one, vaccines always work. | |
| Number two, vaccines never harm people. | |
| And number three, they should be mandated for everyone because of the greater good, which is the title of your film. | |
| You know, do you want to address some of the key delusions of the vaccine industry, or would you even call them that? | |
| Well, I think that the vaccine industry, and that includes the powers that be in government and federal regulatory agencies, they have wed themselves to the notion that vaccines can do no harm, that it's okay to sacrifice some for the greater good, and that vaccines always work. | |
| So I think it's really important to understand that they are wed to that, and therefore they have a very vested interest in protecting that image in the public domain, and huge efforts are put towards that. | |
| You know, there's reputational risk, there's clearly monetary risk, and people are very afraid about talking about this issue because there's fear, too. | |
| No parent wants to think that they are deliberately Endangering their own child. | |
| And so there's this perfect storm where people want to believe that something can save them and protect them, despite the fact that we all know that life carries risks. | |
| But it creates this perfect situation for there to be a certain amount of control of the message and people to believe it and buy it without really questioning it. | |
| So if you really want to get to the basics on the science, some of the main points we make in the film are that there actually is science out there Linking vaccines to a whole host of very damaging conditions that start with something as benign as, say, allergies and end with something as extreme as death. | |
| And in between there's multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis and asthma and learning disabilities and behavioral problems and inflammation of the brain and all these things. | |
| The question really is, Why is this science not being discussed in the mainstream? | |
| Why aren't parents made aware that this science exists so that they can, in fact, make an informed decision about vaccination? | |
| I think that's really one of the most important things for us to think about. | |
| Ultimately, it comes down to why is the science abandoned by the vaccine industry? | |
| Why can't we ask scientific questions? | |
| Why can't we have an actual scientific clinical trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that compares the outcomes of vaccinated children versus unvaccinated children? | |
| In fact, their answer to that, as you well know, Leslie, is, oh, it would be unethical to have a group that we didn't vaccinate. | |
| I mean, come on. | |
| That's total quackery. | |
| That's a complete abandonment of the basic principles of science. | |
| That's not science at all. | |
| That's just hucksterism, really. | |
| Of course it is. | |
| But it's even worse than that because we actually asked the CDC that very question when we were there. | |
| I actually asked the deputy director of the immunization program why she didn't just put all the fears to rest and Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| are about 40 to 50,000 unvaccinated children every year. | |
| Finding 50,000 children amongst the hundreds of thousands or millions of children who are not vaccinated would not be that tough, number one. | |
| Number two, what she then did was really go on and say that it would be too difficult to do the study and it would also be confusing potentially because people who vaccinate their kids might eat different kind of broccoli than people who don't vaccinate their kids. | |
| And I think what she was trying to say was that there might be some confounding factors like pesticide use or something like that. | |
| And I think what it really gets to is the heart of the issue, which is there is great resistance to do this research and probably for very good reason because there have been some independent surveys done looking at the health and well-being of unvaccinated kids compared to the health and well-being of the mainstream children. | |
| You know, the average medical statistics that you see And the several surveys that I've seen have showed that there's a distinct difference in the health and well-being with the unvaccinated kids being much, much healthier than the kids who've been fully vaccinated. | |
| So I think there's a clear resistance to doing that. | |
| And the question is, why are we as a public accepting these kind of spurious reasons for avoiding the research? | |
| Well, yeah, that's really the key, and yet those who are pushing the vaccines or pimping the vaccines, you might say, they always claim to have science on their side. | |
| They claim that they're acting out of the gold standard of evidence-based medicine, but that's just a lie. | |
| There really isn't evidence. | |
| Let's talk about that, Mike. | |
| Yeah, let's talk about that, Mike, though, because first of all, like I said, there is all this research linking vaccines to all these conditions, like I said, rheumatoid arthritis and asthma and death and inflammation of the brain and brain damage. | |
| But the other thing that's so critical to understand is that the studies that the authorities hold up as evidence that vaccines can do no harm are very seriously flawed. | |
| If you look at those studies, the vast majority of those studies do not use a proper placebo. | |
| In fact, they are allowed to use A solution that can contain fimerosal, which is mercury, or aluminum, or another vaccine. | |
| So they're not actually using a placebo. | |
| That's one thing. | |
| The next thing is... | |
| Wait a second, Leslie. | |
| I want the audience to understand why that's important. | |
| Because it means the control group is being injected with the same poisons We're good to go. | |
| They did six or seven independent studies, or they had six or seven clinical sites that they used. | |
| And they took all the data from those and they bulked them all together. | |
| Well, only one of those six or seven used a saline placebo. | |
| The others, meaning that it was something that was inert or inactive and couldn't cause harm. | |
| All the others used aluminum at their placebo. | |
| That's just evil. | |
| And when they published the data, they bulked it all together. | |
| So you could not actually ascertain what the difference was between someone who received a genuine placebo, one of the only group, or the other six, five or six groups that received aluminum. | |
| And when you looked at the aggregated data, It showed that those who received a placebo had injection site swelling and severe pain and induration, which is a hardening at the site, In the upper 60s, so 60-some percent of the people who received the placebo had these kinds of side effects. | |
| The people who received the vaccine, around 72 or 73 percent, it was in the low 70s, had the same kinds of side effects, but it was dismissed as being statistically insignificant because, exactly as you just stated, there wasn't a big difference between the Vaccinated group and the quote-unquote control group. | |
| So yes, it's deliberately used to skew the results. | |
| This is a clear example of scientific fraud. | |
| And when you look at the vaccine industry, when you really look hard at it and start asking common sense questions, that's what you find is fraud, corruption, bribery, money laundering. | |
| In fact, we saw that with one of the former CDC officials who took his vaccine grant money and used it to buy luxury homes and cars and a motorcycle, I think. | |
| He was indicted by a federal grand jury in Atlanta. | |
| You find what many people would call truly criminal behavior. | |
| How much of that is touched on in your film, The Greater Good? | |
| Well, we do talk about the conflicts of interest and the concerns that exist relating to the pharmaceutical industry and their very close ties with federal agencies. | |
| And one thing we don't touch on in the movie is the fact that the former head of the CDC When President Obama was elected, she had a year off, basically. | |
| Obama elected a new or appointed a new CDC head. | |
| And the former head of the CDC, who'd been there for, I think, seven or eight years, Dr. | |
| Julie Gerberding, she then, a year later, went and became the president of Merck Vaccines globally. | |
| So these kind of things are happening all the time. | |
| But if you really drill down to the... | |
| Actual committees that make the decisions. | |
| There's an organization, or committee rather, called the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and it's a sub-board of the CDC. This is populated with scientists and many individuals, many scientists who actually have ties or are paid by the pharmaceutical industry, And yet they're allowed to vote on new vaccine recommendations, on new vaccine approvals and things like this. | |
| And they don't recuse themselves. | |
| And all they have to do is sign a declaration that they have a conflict every year. | |
| And that program was only implemented a couple of years ago. | |
| Before a couple of years ago, no one ever had to sign anything. | |
| This kind of thing happens all the time. | |
| And some of them even own patents on vaccines. | |
| And yet they're allowed to make policy decisions that affect every American. | |
| And that just doesn't really hold water, does it, from an ethical standpoint? | |
| Well, it's very clear, Leslie, that this is all really about circling the wagons. | |
| It's about big business making money. | |
| It's about corruption. | |
| It's about sacrificing human lives in order to make more money. | |
| I mean, it's really about the darkest side of humanity. | |
| It all comes out of the vaccine industry, and much of it is covered in your movie. | |

| This is, I call it a game-changer. | |
| This is the film. | |
| That dares to ask the courageous questions that modern scientists are scared to death that people will ask. | |
| Like, hey, where's the evidence, man? | |
| Where is the evidence that is safe and effective? | |
| Because that evidence does not exist. | |
| In fact, if you look at it, it shows evidence of harm. | |
| And children are being killed today by this industry. | |
| If you want to protect your children from these dangerous vaccines, at least inform yourself. | |
| Get the facts. | |
