VAXXED The Movie

In 2013, biologist Dr. Brian Hooker received a call from a Senior Scientist at the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who led the agencys 2004 study on the MeaslesMumpsRubella (MMR) vaccine and its link to autism. The scientist, Dr. William Thompson, confessed that the CDC had omitted crucial data in their final report that revealed a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism. Over several months, Dr. Hooker records the phone calls made to him by Dr. Thompson who provides the confidential data destroyed by his colleagues at the CDC. Dr. Hooker enlists the help of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, the British gastroenterologist falsely accused of starting the antivax movement when he first reported in 1998 that the MMR vaccine may cause autism. In his ongoing effort to advocate for childrens health, Wakefield directs this documentary examining the evidence behind an appalling coverup committed by the government agency charged with protecting the health of American citizens.
