Even those familiar with RFK Jr.’s damning statistics about American health might be surprised by the information presented in Del Bigtree’s new documentary, *An Inconvenient Study*. The film delivers a gut-wrenching depiction of the human misery represented by these statistics—attributed to the cowardice, greed, arrogance, and power of the medical and pharmaceutical industries.
Bigtree, an Emmy Award-winning producer, has been a medical journalist for two decades, initially at CBS and later as the host of the *High Wire* internet show. His previous documentary, *Vaxxed* (2015), brought him national attention. The film, once endorsed by Robert De Niro, was controversially pulled from De Niro’s own Tribeca Film Festival amid accusations of being anti-vaccine and promoting junk science.
A linked news segment covering that incident exemplifies how major media often serve as amplifiers for powerful corporate interests—a role effectively highlighted in *An Inconvenient Study*.
One of the most striking statistics featured in the documentary, associated with RFK Jr., is staggering: 54 percent of American children now have a chronic disease of some sort. In contrast, during the 1980s, this number stood at only 12.8 percent.
Coinciding with this dramatic rise is a substantial increase in the number of vaccines administered to children from birth to age 18—from about 20 doses in the 1980s to 72 or more today. This correlation raises a critical question: Is there a causal link between vaccinations and chronic diseases, particularly the significant increase in autism diagnoses?
The specific study central to Bigtree’s film was conducted by the Henry Ford Health System and led by Dr. Marcus Zervos, Ford’s head of infectious diseases. Designed as a retrospective analysis, the study compares health outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients within Ford’s healthcare system.
