#375 The Courage & Wisdom of Andy Wakefield
Épisode 375
mercredi 21 août 2024 • Durée 01:33:59
Doctor, author & filmmaker, Andy Wakefield and doula and actress, Emmy Robbin join Dr. Stu in a conversation about the corruption of research, the media and the medical industry. We talk about the harm that is done and why they keep doing it. The director of Vaxxed and the new film, Protocol 7 shares his backstory, the lies then that are still being told and the triumph over it all as the world wakes up to what has been done to our children. Andy & Emmy share the stories that affect us with Dr. Stu that you do not want to miss.
About Andy Wakefield:
In the pursuit of links between childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurological injury in children, Dr. Andy Wakefield lost his job in the Department of Medicine at London’s Royal Free Hospital, his country, career, Fellowships, and his medical license. Wakefield re-invented himself as a filmmaker. He is the director of his first major narrative feature, Protocol 7.
About Emmy Robbin:
Emmy Robbin is a birth doula, actress, and podcast host. She has a fierce passion to protect babies and parents from experiencing medical gaslighting or abuse in their parental journey. Her mission is to prevent/heal birth trauma by empowering everyone to trust God's miraculous design and tap into their intuition using somatic coaching. She plays Joan Walinski in the new feature film Protocol 7.
- Emmy’s website: emmyrobbindoula.com
Film Synopsis:
Based on real-life events, comes the corporate thriller, Protocol 7. Alexis Koprowski, a devoted mother and small-town family lawyer, Adrian Jay, a renegade doctor exiled from the medical profession, and Steve Schilling, a virologist at a prominent vaccine laboratory turned corporate whistleblower, work together to hold a large pharmaceutical corporation accountable for allegedly fraudulent test results behind a failing mumps vaccine. Protocol 7 takes us behind the corporate curtain, exposing a chain of command that devolves responsibility, prioritizes profits over people, and fosters an amoral mindset of “just following orders”.
Key highlights:
- Questioning Doctors' Push for Vaccines
- Lessons in Medicine and Advocacy
- Medical Ethics and Coercion in Healthcare
- Vaccine Fraud Exposed in Legal Battle
- COVID Vaccine Injection Protocol Debate
- Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Research

#275 What's the Evidence on Herpes in Pregnancy?
mercredi 7 septembre 2022 • Durée 01:15:15

The balance is restored by some incredibly uplifting birth stories from listeners that remind us that it is indeed possible to make a difference in this world, one birth at a time.
