Brian Hooker, PhD - Professor of Biology:
Dr. Thompson tried to warn the director of CDC at that time, because he knew he was publishing fraudulent data. Not only was he replaced in the 2004 Institute of Medicine meeting by his supervisor Dr. Frank DeStefano, who proceeded to show the fraudulent data, but he was threatened with firing and he was told to seek psychiatric help because of his moment of clarity.

00:00:01.026 --> 00:00:03.062
- Dr. Thompson tried to warn
00:00:03.062 --> 00:00:06.000
the Director of the CDC at the time
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.082
because he knew he was publishing fraudulent data.
00:00:09.082 --> 00:00:13.045
Not only was he replaced,
00:00:13.045 --> 00:00:17.079
in the 2004 Institute of Medicine meeting
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.057
by his supervisor, Dr. Frank DeStefano,
00:00:20.057 --> 00:00:23.089
who proceeded to show the fraudulent data,
00:00:23.089 --> 00:00:26.544
but he was threatened with firing,
00:00:26.544 --> 00:00:30.098
and he was told to seek psychiatric help
00:00:30.098 --> 00:00:34.032
because of his moment of clarity.
00:00:34.032 --> 00:00:37.076
A real whistleblower protected by whistleblower status
00:00:37.076 --> 00:00:39.007
inside the CDC telling us
00:00:39.007 --> 00:00:42.041
we're committing scientific fraud in here.
00:00:42.041 --> 00:00:43.009
That same pharmaceutical industry
00:00:43.009 --> 00:00:46.999
that lies to you all the time and puts out products
00:00:46.999 --> 00:00:48.027
and gets sued and paid out billions of dollars,
00:00:48.027 --> 00:00:50.005
yeah, same thing happens with vaccines,
00:00:50.005 --> 00:00:51.076
and we're doing that too.
00:00:51.076 --> 00:00:56.076
- After the whistleblower story broke in August of 2014 ...
00:00:58.097 --> 00:01:01.036
Dr. Thompson got cold feet,
00:01:01.036 --> 00:01:05.097
and he set about to debunk my results
00:01:05.097 --> 00:01:09.013
with a colleague, a statistician friend of his
00:01:09.013 --> 00:01:11.003
from the University of Pennsylvania,
00:01:11.003 --> 00:01:16.016
and they reanalyzed the data that I received from the CDC,
00:01:16.016 --> 00:01:19.028
basically to show that my numbers were an anomaly,
00:01:19.028 --> 00:01:21.999
that they were not correct,
