CHIMNEY ROCK, N.C. — Authorities say Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, who published research based on the medically disproved claim that vaccines cause autism, has been found dead in an apparent suicide in North Carolina.
The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release issued this week that Bradstreet died of what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.
Bradstreet, who was from Braselton, Georgia, was found in the Rocky Broad River in Chimney Rock on June 19. His body was found by a fisherman. The sheriff’s department said Tuesday that a handgun was also pulled from the river.
Authorities are still investigating. Bradstreet ran a clinic in Buford, Georgia. He also owned Creation’s Own, a maker of dietary supplements, which he also prescribed.
The Gwinnett Daily Post reports that agents from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, aided by the Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency, raided the Bradstreet Wellness Center last week. The FDA did not reveal to the paper why agents had searched Bradstreet’s office.
Bradstreet’s family is now raising funds online to investigate his death, including “an exhaustive investigation into the possibility of foul play...”

Another head scratcher.
“Most of what I have presented, if you can read is factual.”
BS, you insert your half-baked theories into every comment. For example, painting this guy falsely as a “leading vaccine researcher”, or being unable to resist referring to autism as “vaccine-linked autism”, without a shred of evidence.
You are correct. His status as a leading researcher is “debatable” and “questionable”. But that certainly was not the focus of my post.
“His status as a leading researcher is “debatable” and “questionable”.”
No, it’s flat out false. He published one study and it was discredited.
This doctor may, or may not, be guiltless. However he researched and found evidence of causation. Yes, he was discredited. But by who? The same group of doctors that supports Obamacare? The same group funded by pharmaceutical companies who have lobbied for favorable legislation against vaccination injury? The same group that supports Holdren’s policies? The same group that is pushing forced vaccinations while leaving the border unchecked.
Give me a break...these same folks have discredited Jesus Christ Himself! Are they right?
“The focus of my article is to warn folks about “forced vaccinations” and “corrupt governance””
That’s obviously not the focus of the article. That may be the conversation you wish FReepers would have based on the article, but the article itself has nothing to do with that.
“However he researched and found evidence of causation.”
Wrong, correlation does not equal causation. It seems all you vaccine conspiracists make that same logic fail.
“Yes, he was discredited. But by who?”
Actual leading vaccine researchers who haven’t been discredited.
Wrong. They found a correlation. Correlation does not equal causation. That is a very basic principle of logic.
Yaelle's post says nothing about causation - just "have a tripled risk" - this is an observation of the data.
There are two false assertions of causation in that statement:
First the phrase “tripled risk” implies causation, because what they actually found was triple the incidence. To leap from finding a higher incidence in a group to judging that group to be at higher risk implies that you are certain the incidence is linked to some factor associated with the group, and isn’t just a statistical anomaly, or an artifact of your methodology, etc.
Secondly, the post also states specifically “a triple risk... from that shot”. The study did not find that the higher incidence had anything to do with the MMR shot, it only found a correlation. Attributing it to the vaccine is an explicit claim of causation.
I remember a time when prisoners in our penal system...murderers could not have anything injected into them without their consent. Now, law abiding citizens must submit their children to the State for mandatory vaccines. This is absent of any immediate threat of disease outbreak which should require an extraordinary demand by Government for military law. California is enacting this and citizens should reject it and demand a repeal. The State does NOT own you, your body or your children!
Curse you and your logic, Boogieman
So if your kid has a malformed heart valve, and doctors can fix it, but there is a 1% chance he will die during surgery, or a 50% chance he will die in the next 10 years without the surgery, you would choose just to pray and withhold medical care for the child?
“Your argument assumes that there is something wrong with the child prior to receiving the vaccination. Or that the child is somehow incomplete without receiving the vaccination.”
No, I only assume they have a higher chancing of death or permanent injury from vaccine-preventable illnesses than from vaccines themselves, with is absolutely true.
I would take the chance of no vaccines, especially for babies. After they are older (later teens), I would go case by case or let them choose. Do research...Jewish communities avoided the Black Plague, and there have been homeopathic remedies available for ions in China. I am a big believer in God given herbs for mitigation or avoidance of diseases
“Do research...Jewish communities avoided the Black Plague”
Huh? There was no vaccine for the plague so what does that have to do with anything?
“there have been homeopathic remedies available for ions in China”
You mean the people who think that ground rhino horn cures erectile dysfunction?!?
