Standing alone at the University of Michigan to expose the deadly impact of mRNA shots was not easy.
\nNicolas Hulscher, MPH<\/p>\n
I sat down with Dr. Philip McMillan on Vejon Health, and our conversation wasn\u2019t just about the latest evidence on vaccine harms\u2014it was about survival in an academic world hostile to truth.<\/p>\n
At the University of Michigan\u2019s School of Public Health, I faced walls at every turn. Professors ignored internship requests and warned me that investigating vaccine harms would mean I\u2019d \u201cnever have a career.\u201d<\/p>\n
When I presented our systematic review of autopsy findings at the school\u2019s epidemiology poster session, some of my own professors walked past without even making eye contact. Those who did stop were shocked \u2014 as though serious adverse events after genetic injections simply didn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n
I was an outlier\u2014isolated, ridiculed, and told I was finished in public health if I continued this line of work. They were unequivocally wrong.<\/p>\n
Despite immense pressure, I didn\u2019t back down. Partnering with Dr. Peter McCullough, I helped publish the world\u2019s first autopsy study linking COVID-19 mRNA shots to death.<\/p>\n
From that moment forward, the attacks only intensified: hate campaigns online, cartel-funded \u201cfact checker\u201d defamation, censorship of preprints, and illegal retractions from the Journal Cartel:<\/p>\n
The Fall of the Academic Publishing Cartel
\nNicolas Hulscher, MPH<\/p>\n
Most of the major publishers, including Elsevier, Springer Nature, Wiley, Sage Publications and Taylor & Francis, have formed a cartel under the International Association of Scientific, Technical, and Medical Publishers. The Cartel controls two-thirds of global journal publications, enforces unpaid peer reviews, restricts manuscript submissions, and delays scientific progress\u2014all to protect their multi-billion-dollar profits. This resulted in a recent class action lawsuit against the Cartel for \u201ctremendous damage to science and the public interest.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Cartel\u2019s corruption extends to censoring critical genetic injection safety data in accordance with the Biopharmaceutical Complex, likely costing lives. A prime example of this is when Cartel member Elsevier violated COPE guidelines and immediately censored the Hulscher et al autopsy study proving a casual link between COVID-19 vaccines and death after it became the #1 trending research paper worldwide across all subject areas:<\/p>\n
Dr. McMillan asked whether it was worth it\u2014whether exposing these harms justified the personal and professional cost. My answer was clear: yes. Because what\u2019s at stake isn\u2019t reputations\u2014it\u2019s human lives.<\/p>\n
Despite years of hostility, I remain unshaken. Academic bullying forged resilience, and personal attacks now bounce off me like light off a mirror. It\u2019s clear that telling the truth wasn\u2019t just the right choice\u2014it was the only choice.<\/p>\n
