One of the year’s most talked-about documentaries premieres at Mary D. Fisher Theatre
Sedona AZ (July 28, 2016) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present a special premiere of “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe” — showing one day only: Thursday, Aug. 11 at 4 and 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
“Vaxxed” is one of the year’s most talked-about documentaries. The film exposes one of the biggest medical cover-ups of our time.
An investigation into how the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) — the government agency charged with protecting the health of American citizens — concealed and destroyed data on their 2004 study that showed a link between the MMR vaccine and autism. This alarming deception has contributed to the skyrocketing increase of autism, potentially the most catastrophic epidemic of our lifetime.
In 2013, biologist Dr. Brian Hooker received a call from a Senior Scientist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who led the agency’s 2004 study on the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine and its link to autism.
The scientist, Dr. William Thompson, confessed that the CDC had omitted crucial data in their final report that revealed a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism.
Over several months, Dr. Hooker records the phone calls made to him by Dr. Thompson who provides the confidential data destroyed by his colleagues at the CDC.
Dr. Hooker enlists the help of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, the British gastroenterologist falsely accused of starting the anti-vax movement when he first reported in 1998 that the MMR vaccine may cause autism. In his ongoing effort to advocate for children’s health, Wakefield directs this documentary examining the evidence behind an appalling cover-up.
Interviews with pharmaceutical insiders, doctors, politicians, and parents of vaccine-injured children reveal an alarming deception that has contributed to the skyrocketing increase of autism and potentially the most catastrophic epidemic of our lifetime.
“Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe” will show at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Thursday, Aug. 11 at 4 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members.
