In 2016, Dr. Zervos crossed paths with Bigtree, who urged him to take on something public health had avoided for decades: a study comparing the health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
Dr. Zervos agreed, determined to prove Bigtree and other vaccine skeptics wrong. At the time, he vowed, “Whatever the results, they get published.”

Dr. Zervos agreed, and the study was completed in 2020. As Bigtree anticipated, the results were devastating for the vaccinated — but there was one major problem: Dr. Zervos chose not to publish the study.
In 2022, Bigtree convinced Dr. Zervos to sit down and explain why. Knowing the importance of the moment, he recorded the conversation on hidden camera.
There, Dr. Zervos openly admitted on tape why he chose not to publish the data. He said bluntly, “Publishing something like that, I might as well retire. I’d be finished.”
Here’s what the study revealed:
• Vaccinated children were 4.29 times more likely to have asthma.
• Three times higher risk for atopic diseases (like eczema).
• Nearly six times higher risk for autoimmune disorders — a category that includes over 80 different diseases.
• 5.5 times higher risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.
• 2.9 times more motor disabilities.
• 4.5 times more speech disorders.
• Three times more developmental delays.
• Six times more acute and chronic ear infections.
• In nearly 2,000 unvaccinated children, there were zero cases of ADHD, diabetes, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, tics, or other psychological disorders.
• The study’s conclusion is devastating. It states: “[I]n contrast to our expectations, we found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an overall 2.5-fold INCREASE in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition when compared to children unexposed to vaccination.”

Fact-Check: Debunking the Top Myths Around Viral “Vaccine Study”
October 13, 2025
Henry Ford Health logo
DETROIT—Henry Ford Health condemns the spread of dangerous disinformation connected to a “documentary” that falsely claims our nationally recognized academic medical center and research institute suppressed a draft of a research study because of its results.
The purposeful twisting of information in the “documentary” poses a direct public threat. We implore anyone who comes across these myths to read the facts below.
MYTH #1: “The study proves vaccinated children are 2.5x more likely to develop chronic health conditions than unvaccinated children.”
FACT: This draft did not prove anything. The very first internal review revealed serious flaws in the data and methodology, and the paper was abandoned. Anyone who conducts public health research would agree that comparing vastly different sample sizes over different time periods with inconsistent demographic foundations is problematic.
MYTH #2: “The study wasn’t published due to political reasons – or because of its results.”
FACT: The draft wasn’t submitted for publication or shared with the public because the data and analyses were flawed, and it’s irresponsible to share scientifically flawed studies with the public.
MYTH #3: “The study was hidden from the public.”
FACT: Reputable academic medical research institutions like Henry Ford Health subject research papers to stringent, internal, and scientific scrutiny that often points out issues with data, methodology or other flaws. It’s rare that a paper makes it to the scientific journal submission phase, and even rarer that papers get published. This wasn’t hidden; it was simply rejected for scientific lapses.
MYTH #4: “This is the ‘most important vaccine study ever.’”
FACT: Dr. Jake Scott, an infectious disease physician from Stanford who testified on Capitol Hill, wrote “…this flawed analysis reveals how thoroughly political theater has replaced scientific literacy in our public discourse.” The first internal reviewers determined the paper wasn’t scientifically sound—and it never made it past draft status.
MYTH #5: “The ‘documentary’ proves the health system is withholding the study.”
FACT: The film proved nothing except that we have rigorous scientific standards in place for a reason: to ensure the only studies we submit for publication come from research rooted in sound, infallible data that have passed our stringent review processes. We do not bend to pressure from those with special interests and will never compromise the standards that have helped make us a world-renowned academic medical research institution.

Speaking of retractions, didn’t Wiley retract over 10,000 papers over the last few years...?
There’s some outfit called Retraction Watch reporting that 242 articles in International Wound Journal were retracted. That’s published by Wiley so that sounds like what you are thinking of. I’d post the link but I haven’t mastered that art on this cellphone.
There’s always one more excuse in Conspiracy World.
It’s what makes the never-ending stories so entertaining. Way better than mundane reality. Carry on!
Sure Goober
Everything is just fine and no vaccines have ever harmed anybody. Big pharma is totally innocent of any wrongdoing and has never put out a dangerous product. They don’t want the liability shield for vaccines and have no idea how or why it exists in the first place. They have only done good and anyone who says otherwise is a conspiracy theorist.
They would never pressure anyone in any way and the idea that they would suppress negative stories is absurd.
Got it.
I suppose the same is true for that Cleveland Clinic study of their employees. The one where the ones who got the flu vaccines were 29% MORE likely to get the flu than the ones who didn’t get it. I’m sure that was just like the one in this story.
I always marvel at how the low IQ cohort believe that insults make them less stupid. Go figure.
And I always marvel at how some people keep up being fax shills even in the face of reality, but here we are.
You defend literally every vaccine whenever it’s brought up here. It’s almost like this is an assigned task for you,
