What Medical School Didn't Teach Me About Vaccines | Dr. Gator Warsh

In this episode, Dr. Brandon Crawford sits down with Dr. Joel "Gator" Warsh, a board-certified pediatrician practicing in Los Angeles and the author of the significant book, Between a Shot and a Hard Place. The discussion aims to move beyond the highly polarized vaccine debate by concentrating solely on the established scientific facts and the areas needing further research that Dr. Warsh identified as he shifted from a rigorous conventional medical training program to an integrative practice.

Dr. Warsh shares his journey, highlighting the shock he felt realizing how little training he received on the root cause factors like diet, nutrition, and exercise compared to the emphasis on pharmaceutical intervention. His commitment to offering true informed consent to parents led him to write the book that most pediatricians are "too afraid to write."

Key Takeaways

1. Lack of Long-Term Safety Data: The biggest shock is the absence of long-term vaccinated vs. unvaccinated studies. Vaccine safety is often based only on short-term pre-market trials (e.g., 5 days) rather than extensive long-term follow-up.
2. Censorship of Critical Research: The story of the Henry Ford Health study confirms that scientific findings challenging vaccine safety are censored by institutions and practitioners out of fear of career backlash.
3. Liability Shield Removed Accountability: The 1986 Vaccine Liability Shield incentivizes poor safety practices. Manufacturers have no financial incentive to make better, safer vaccines because they cannot be sued for injury.‍
4. Autism Research is Insufficient: The claim that "vaccines don't cause autism" is premature because research has only studied MMR and Thimerosal. We lack data on the cumulative effect of the dozens of other vaccines, meaning "we don't know" the true risk.
