What Does the Historical Data Really Say?Presented by Greg BeattieIn this presentation, Greg Beattie unpacks decades of data behind Australia’s vaccine policy and public health narratives. As a long-time researcher and author, Beattie draws on government records, mortality statistics, and historical health trends to examine whether vaccination campaigns have truly driven the decline in childhood disease.He explores:The decline of infectious diseases in Australia prior to widespread vaccine uptakeGaps between vaccine efficacy claims and real-world outcomesHow natural immunity and improved living conditions contributed to public healthThe erosion of parental rights in an era of mandated medicineWhy historical literacy is essential to making informed choices todayGreg Beattie offers a calm, factual yet bold perspective—inviting audiences to reconsider what they thought they knew about vaccine history and medical freedom.Greg Beattiehttps://vaccinationdilemma.com/Greg Beattie’s research is essential for anyone who wants to separate fact from fiction when it comes to vaccine history. By examining raw data and questioning dominant narratives, this session empowers attendees to think critically about what truly led to improved public health—and what lessons can be applied today.

The Diphtheria Vaccine: Revisiting the Science and SafetyPresented by Dr Brian HookerIn this presentation, Dr Brian Hooker delves into the history, composition, and safety profile of the diphtheria vaccine, with a critical lens on the current data. Drawing on decades of research and pharmacovigilance analysis, he highlights areas where scientific assumptions may not align with long-term outcomes, especially for children.He explores:The historical context and decline of diphtheria prior to widespread vaccinationKnown adverse events associated with the diphtheria toxoid and its combination vaccines (like DTaP)Data gaps in long-term safety trials and the limitations of passive reporting systemsThe use of aluminium adjuvants and their potential cumulative impact on the developing immune systemEthical concerns around the ongoing use of combination shots without disaggregated safety reviewDr Hooker presents a research-driven, principled challenge to the assumption that “older vaccines” are inherently safer—urging a fresh, science-first evaluation of childhood vaccine policies.About Dr Brian HookerX (Twitter): @BrianHookerPhDhttps://childrenshealthdefense.org/vax-unvax-book/Dr Brian Hooker is a biochemical engineer, author, and scientific advisor to Children’s Health Defense.

The Greater Good – A Conversation with Leslie ManookianInterview with Leslie Manookian, Writer and Producer of The Greater GoodIn this interview, Leslie Manookian reflects on the making and impact of The Greater Good, the groundbreaking documentary that challenged the vaccine narrative over a decade before COVID-19 brought it to global attention.

Live Q&A – Diphtheria: Disease, Data & the Decline of Riskwith Robyn Chuter, Professor Brian Hooker, and Greg BeattieIn this recorded live Q&A, Robyn Chuter moderates a rich and insightful discussion with two leading experts who bring scientific rigour, historical analysis, and public health perspective to the topic of diphtheria. Responding to real-time audience questions, the panel unpacks both the history and modern narrative around this once-feared disease—offering clarity for families navigating today’s vaccine schedule.Their exchange offers a rare blend of compassion and candour—demystifying diphtheria, exploring vaccine efficacy, and questioning whether the threat still justifies the policy.Topics include:How dangerous is diphtheria in today’s world?What does the data show about vaccine effectiveness and duration of immunity?What role do hygiene, nutrition, and modern medicine play in diphtheria’s decline?Should parents still be concerned—or are we vaccinating for a threat that no longer exists?This is essential viewing for anyone wanting to better understand diphtheria—not through fear, but through facts. If you’ve ever felt unsure, overwhelmed, or unheard in conversations about vaccines, this Q&A invites you into a more honest and informed dialogue.
