In 1998, a British doctor, Andrew Wakefield, published a paper in the medical journal The Lancet that suggested a possible link between the MMR vaccine and the development of autism, alongside bowel problems. He pointed to what he said was a pattern: children developing normally, receiving the vaccine, and then experiencing a loss of skills. The paper was later retracted. Wakefield was denounced as a fraud and he was struck off the medical register. Now, nearly 30 years later, the mother of one of the children in Wakefield's study has decided to speak out. Paula Aitken's son Colin was known as Child Number Four. In a bombshell interview Paula tells Richie why she believes her son's autism was triggered by antibiotics, not just vaccines and that Andrew Wakefield's study was in fact a front for a sinister agenda, an agenda so dangerous that people have been murdered to ensure it never comes to light.

It's an absolutely fascinating discussion. For more on John Waters:https://johnwaters.substack.com/https://x.com/johnwaters2024

Richie is joined by the Irish writer and broadcaster John Waters. John recently published - on his excellent Substack - a passionate and thought-provoking defence of Mattias Desmet's "The Psychology of Totalitarianism." Desmet argues that totalitarianism today grows out of widespread loneliness, anxiety, and loss of meaning. As traditional sources of connection—such as community, shared values, and religion—weaken, people feel isolated and uncertain. In this state, they become more likely to attach themselves to a single story that promises safety, purpose, and control. Covid was such a story, arguably. The book has come in for unfair criticism in truther circles. Desmet has been accused of blaming the victims of totalitarianism for their plight. On today's show, John deconstructs Desmet's arguments and those of his critics. He explains why - in his view - Ireland is the birthplace of totalitarianism, why we should be wary of those who want to lead resistance or protest movements and much more. This is a must-listen conversation. Share it widely on socials. Read John Waters here:https://johnwaters.substack.com/
