It shouldn’t change any minds here. Bret Weinstein is a deranged lunatic who has been kicked off every legitimate platform for spreading disinformation.

He’s a very dangerous man. His words could break your brain. DON’T watch the video.

I didn’t see this link posted anywhere in this discussion, but are people aware of flagellin immunization as a way to boost the immune system and improve gut microbiome composition? Here is the link to a self experiment that took place overall several weeks
The interesting thing is that 2 years after the experiment concluded, the beneficial gut microbiome changes still mostly hold up.

This is the TED talk briefly mentioned in the “unsafe at any speed” video, in case anybody is too busy to look it up:
Interesting that some vaccines are very good for ACM and some are very bad. We use only the ones that are very bad in this country.

Giving this the benefit of doubt, let us assume that all the information in this talk is factually correct. One question: the speaker seems to address this effect of non-live vaccines increasing ACM in children; does this also hold true for adults? As an adult, that is of interest to me.

Yes, and I would think on this forum there would be interest. It is a radioactive topic and as such, usually frowned upon.
I can only say what was said in the first video, they think the bad effects come from the adjuvants. Used to be mercury, now aluminum or others which are there to make your immune system freak out so that you get a reaction to the small amount of parts injected with it. The only test ever done with aluminum to see if it was safe was done on 4 rabbits. They lost the data from one. The test was designed to find nothing, yet the 3 remaining rabbits when sacrificed showed the aluminum was not excreted. It was found in brain,heart,kidneys, liver. Of course it’s a small amount but the answer to your question is that nobody knows and there is no liability because if there was there would be no vaccines.
He got his phd on this subject. His information has to be correct. He said they hated him and the whole thing was very adversarial.

Walter_Brown, I was looking to see if anyone was doing this and yours is the only name I found. It’s a great idea. Do you have a prescription or order from India? And, if by prescription, was your doctor agreeable or reluctant?

I get a supply from India without prescription. They’re blue tablets and surprisingly I’m still taking them regularly (every day). Sometimes I double up on my rapamycin days.
To be honest, I did wonder why Bryan Johnson didn’t try valacyclovir as a prophylactic. Maybe I’m doing something really really unwise… Although the research( I looked at said is was fine for long term use…

Dave Farina has a BA in chemistry from Carleton College and an MA in science education from California State University, Northridge
That’s the guy doing the video. MA in science education. I’m fine with him spending his time running people down, equally glad he’s not going through my life bringing up all my mistakes. Much longer video. I think it’s important to consider all the viewpoints of the various issues we’re facing.
I like listening to Bret and Heather and have learned a lot. They didn’t save me from Covid, I’d decided well before that to stay away from the shot. I think he was right about most of it though, and even if there are details wrong still I learned a lot from listening to him.
I don’t have time to “consider all the viewpoints”… there just are not enough hours in the day, so I go with the best educated, most reputable sources as a starting point, and adjust if I’m not getting the results I expect or want.
Always with a focus on the hierarchy of evidence:

RapAdmin, I think you are being unfair. To be fair, you must consider all points of view. For example, someone has a view that the moon is made out of cheese. Please carefully refute that view if you disagree. Another one claims the moon is made out of oreo cookies. Please carefully refute that view if you disagree. Another: the moon is really spaghetti. Please carefully refute that view if you disagree. And so on for all the food items in the world. Many of these folks are distinguished chefs and celebrity cooks.
After you’ve considered all, each and every point of view, ok, now, you are finally FAIR. And having spent every minute of your life examining every point of view, you die. And as a reward, on your grave, there is an engraving: He Fairly Considered Every View. Congratulations, on a life spent well, and fairly!

This view of fairness that every utterance is equally valid and my be equally considered seems wrong to me. If someone says the moon is made our of cheese, I think it’s fair enough to just say that they’re wrong, without having to go into details as to why.

I agree that there is so much going on that you have to triage. Decide what’s most important to spend your time looking at it. I think vaccines regularly shorten lives and have huge costs. They won’t study this by legislation, so we’re stuck looking at worse evidence.
I have a study of the Amish that should have found 2000 with autism, they found 2 and both were adopted after they had shots. Still nobody has been found that has Autism but did not get the shots.
I’ll leave the topic here because I think it will be studied more under the new administration, could be wrong about that. Trump has crazy ideas about star gate, operation warp speed etc… but we’ll see if the science can change with the money. Exciting times.

I was quoting something from Steve Kirsch, not a funded study. I do personally know a woman whose child was accidentally vaccinated twice, got sick and became autistic. It happened. It has shaded my opinion and the people I choose to listen to.
I don’t know any Amish and can see from the articles you posted that it is a hard thing to study.

The case for vaccines is becoming stronger by the day:
Recombinant zoster vaccine and reduced risk of dementia: matched-cohort study using large-scale electronic health records and machine learning methodology 2025
Compared to PPSV23, ZVL significantly reduced 3-year (RR: 0.86, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.86-0.90; p<0.0001) and 5-year (RR: 0. 92, 95%CI: 0.89-0.95; p<0.0001) dementia risk. RZV significantly reduced 3-year (RR: 0.76, 95%CI: 0.69-0.84; p<0.0001) and 5-year (RR: 0.80, 95%CI: 0.71-0.90; p<0.0005) dementia risk, when compared to PPSV23. Compared to ZVL, RZV was also associated with a significant reduction of 3-year (RR: 0.73, 95%CI: 0. 60-0.89; p<0.005) and 5-year (RR: 0.77, 95%CI: 0.64-0.92; p<0.005) dementia risk.
(I like the comparison between vaccines: what could explain the reduced risk other than benefits of the new vax?)
Pneumococcal vaccination, but not influenza vaccination, is negatively associated with incident dementia among Japanese older adults: The JAGES 2013–2022 prospective cohort study 2024
PPSV23 uptake was negatively associated with incident dementia among participants in both the short- and long-term follow-up periods after SIPW (short-term follow-up: HR: 0.77, 95 % CI: 0.63 – 0.95; long-term follow-up: HR: 0.83, 95 % CI: 0.70 – 0.97). Conversely, IIV uptake was not associated with incident dementia among participants in either follow-up group (short-term follow-up: HR: 0.86, 95 % CI: 0.63–1.16; long-term follow-up: HR: 0.99, 95 % CI: 0.76–1.29).
Good to see the findings reproduced in another database in another country. I think the negative finding for the flu jab can be explained by its short-term effect. The pneumococcal jab is a once-in-a-lifetime shot while you need to take the flu jab yearly. They only asked “Have you had the flu shot in the past year?” and still found a trend for protection over 3.5 years. It would be good to see the same study with “How many times did you get the flu shot over the past 10 years” and see the subsequent dementia risk plotted VS number of shots.
