Episode Synopsis
The Diphtheria Vaccine: Revisiting the Science and SafetyPresented by Dr Brian HookerIn this presentation, Dr Brian Hooker delves into the history, composition, and safety profile of the diphtheria vaccine, with a critical lens on the current data. Drawing on decades of research and pharmacovigilance analysis, he highlights areas where scientific assumptions may not align with long-term outcomes, especially for children.He explores:The historical context and decline of diphtheria prior to widespread vaccinationKnown adverse events associated with the diphtheria toxoid and its combination vaccines (like DTaP)Data gaps in long-term safety trials and the limitations of passive reporting systemsThe use of aluminium adjuvants and their potential cumulative impact on the developing immune systemEthical concerns around the ongoing use of combination shots without disaggregated safety reviewDr Hooker presents a research-driven, principled challenge to the assumption that “older vaccines” are inherently safer—urging a fresh, science-first evaluation of childhood vaccine policies.About Dr Brian HookerX (Twitter): @BrianHookerPhDhttps://childrenshealthdefense.org/vax-unvax-book/Dr Brian Hooker is a biochemical engineer, author, and scientific advisor to Children’s Health Defense.
