He claims this study was never published because it was hidden. This claim is the topic of an upcoming\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aninconvenientstudy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movie<\/a>\u00a0by Del Bigtree.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid wpex-relative\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading\" >The Facts:<\/h3>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>This study has never been published in a science journal, and no one outside the small group promoting it has been able to see the data or methods. Without that information, scientists cannot check if the work was done correctly. In science, results only matter when others can review, test, and repeat them. If a study is kept private or only shared in speeches or videos, we cannot know if its claims are true.<\/p>\n<p>The videos also say there were \u201czero\u201d cases of ADHD or learning problems in unvaccinated children. This does not fit with what we know, since these conditions appear in all groups of children. It is very unlikely that a large group of kids would have none at all.<\/p>\n<p>A more likely reason is something called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthjournalism.org\/glossary-terms\/surveillance-bias-detection-bias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">detection bias<\/a>. Families who do not vaccinate may go to doctors less often or may not notice or report these conditions. This can make it look like unvaccinated kids are healthier, when really the information is incomplete.<\/p>\n<p>Large published studies that include millions of children from countries like Denmark show no higher risk of autism, developmental problems, or other long-term illnesses in vaccinated children. These\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12421889\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studies<\/a>\u00a0are available for anyone to read and review.<\/p>\n<p>Vaccines are not perfect, and like any medicine, they can have side effects. But they are studied and watched very closely. The idea that vaccines are making most children sick does not match what science has shown us. Instead, vaccines\u00a0protect children from dangerous diseases without raising the risk of the illnesses mentioned in these videos.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpex-post-cards-entry col col-1 span_1_of_1 post-15016 type-jtf_topics jtf_topic_subjects-195 jtf_topic_subjects-202 jtf_topic_subjects-199 jtf_topic_subjects-211 jtf_topic_subjects-218\"><div class=\"wpex-card wpex-card-template_10153\"><div class=\"wpex-card-inner\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid wpex-relative\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vcex-page-title vcex-module\"><h2 class=\"vcex-page-title__heading wpex-heading wpex-text-3xl\"><span class=\"vcex-page-title__text\">Why a Hep B birth dose?<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid wpex-relative\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"vcex-post-content\">\n\t<style>.vc_custom_1708910874436{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;}<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vcex-post-content-c wpex-clr\"><div class=\"wpb-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1708910874436 wpex-relative wpex-vc_row-has-fill wpex-vc-reset-negative-margin\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid wpex-relative\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading\" >The Claim:<\/h3>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>With\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/shots-health-news\/2025\/09\/16\/nx-s1-5542405\/rfk-jr-acip-vaccine-advisory-panel-vote-delay-hepatitis-b-shot-in-infants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ACIP<\/a>\u00a0expected to recommend getting rid of the Hepatitis B vaccine at birth and delaying it to age 4, we want to talk about why the vaccine is given at birth.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid wpex-relative\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading\" >The Facts:<\/h3>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p data-end=\"519\" data-start=\"71\">Hepatitis B (Hep B) can spread through sex, but that\u2019s not the only way it spreads.
