The Allison Inquiry: Time to Take Vaccine Injuries Seriously
Summary
Jesse Brown examines the unofficial Allison Inquiry in Ottawa, where vaccine injury victims testified amid minimal media and political attendance. He interviews Dr. Peter McCullough, a controversial figure from Joe Rogan’s podcast, to discuss the politicization of medical science and the breakdown of public trust. The episode contrasts the personal stories of those injured by vaccines with McCullough’s defense of his role in challenging mainstream health narratives.
