This Thursday on VSRF Live, we welcome Brian Hooker, PhD, and Karl Jablonowski, PhD — two powerhouse research scientists with Children’s Health Defense (CHD) — for an in-depth conversation on vaccine safety, research integrity, and emerging data that raise serious public-health questions.
Dr. Brian Hooker is a biologist, author, and Chief Scientific Officer at CHD, widely known for his work on vaccine safety, data transparency, and neurodevelopmental outcomes. His research and advocacy focus on evaluating public-health claims against real-world data and defending open scientific inquiry in the face of political and institutional pressure.
Joining him is Dr. Karl Jablonowski, Senior Research Scientist at CHD, whose work centers on epidemiology, vaccine policy, and data analysis. Dr. Jablonowski has become a leading voice examining how public-health decisions are made — and where gaps exist between official narratives and emerging scientific evidence.
Together, Dr. Hooker and Dr. Jablonowski will discuss their research on aluminum adjuvants in vaccines, including findings from a recently published paper co-authored with internationally recognized experts in aluminum toxicology — Christopher Exley, Chris Shaw, Yehuda Shoenfeld, and Guillemette Crépeaux — examining biological and neurodevelopmental risks associated with aluminum exposure. 📄 https://sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0946672X25002238
They will also address their recently withdrawn preprint, “Increased Mortality Associated with 2-Month-Old Infant Vaccinations.” The paper was removed from the preprint platform following an advisory board decision under site policy. The authors did not request the withdrawal, and the withdrawal notice and author information remain publicly available. The authors plan to republish their work on an open-science platform.
In addition, they will discuss findings Dr. Jablonowski has described as a “huge revelation” concerning autism and military families. In recent work conducted with Dr. Hooker, the authors report higher rates — and increased severity — of autism among children of U.S. military service members compared to the general population, with risk appearing to increase when both parents served, and among National Guard and active-duty families, even when not deployed. These findings, they argue, warrant serious investigation into potential contributing factors affecting military families.
Also joining the discussion is attorney Rick Jaffe, counsel for the plaintiffs — including Children’s Health Defense — in a bombshell federal lawsuit filed this week against the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The suit alleges the AAP violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) by making false and misleading claims about the safety of the CDC childhood immunization schedule while receiving funding from vaccine manufacturers and pushing financial incentives tied to aggressive pediatric vaccination rate targets. Attorney Jaffe will break down the legal theory behind the case, what the complaint alleges, and why its outcome could have far-reaching implications for medical policy, public trust, and institutional accountability.

This conversation will explore the science, the data, and the legal and ethical implications surrounding vaccine policy — and why transparency, accountability, and open scientific inquiry are essential to restoring public trust.
Join us this Thursday on VSRF Live for an important and timely discussion.
