“it very quickly became clear that that was not true right so I remember seeing uh uh the outbreak of cases in Gibralar which was like 95% vac% vaccinated uh and I look at them going why is Jibralter like they were using I think they were using the Astroenica vaccines like like why why are they seeing this huge spread of of COVID”
Main Takeaways:

“my understanding of the current literature as it stands is that the Andrew Wakefield data this British physician um who was really the first to popularize the idea that vaccines could in his words cause autism or were highly correlated with autism those data were essentially retracted by the journals he lost his medical license and my understanding is there was evidence of fraud that he that he was either made up data or contorted data”
