    Steven Kirsch - Feb 26th 2026 11:34am EST

    Tonight, I’m delighted to welcome Sharyl Attkisson, who has spent decades inside America’s most powerful news organizations, and has the firsthand experience to explain how stories are shaped, steered, and sometimes quietly buried. Sharyl is an Emmy Award–winning investigative reporter and the host of Full Measure. She worked for years at CBS News, as well […]

  • Israel FOIA data shows over a 500X increase in rate of heart attacks in teens on the day of their COVID shot. So they deleted the records. No one in government calls for an investigation.

    Steven Kirsch - Feb 25th 2026 7:33pm EST

    Executive summary FOIA information from Israel shows over a 500X increase in the rate of heart attacks in young people only on the day they got their COVID shot. Furthermore, Clalit Health Services, who provided the data for the FOIA request, deleted the records irrecoverably after supplying the data and then said nothing to the […]

Canadians were told their COVID response was transparent and accountable. The record suggests something very different: injured citizens left without recourse, safety […]

    Steven Kirsch - Feb 5th 2026 11:18am EST

  • VSRF LIVE TONIGHT: Episode 212: Dr. Larry Palevsky, MD.

    Steven Kirsch - Jan 29th 2026 11:31am EST

    Tonight, on VSRF Live, we examine one of the most consequential developments in pediatric medicine in years: the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) publicly rejecting recent changes to the CDC’s recommended childhood vaccine schedule, and what this split means for parents, physicians, and public trust in medical authority. For decades, CDC guidance anchored pediatric vaccine […]

  • We can significantly reduce the impact of the next pandemic by upgrading building ventilation standards

    Steven Kirsch - Jan 22nd 2026 6:14pm EST

    Executive summary We already know one of the most powerful, cheapest, and least disruptive ways to blunt the impact of the next pandemic: improve indoor air quality. If every public building simply met ASHRAE Standard 241‑2023 (“Control of Infectious Aerosols”), the United States would be functionally pandemic‑proof against routine respiratory viruses. A recent peer-reviewed study, […]

    Steven Kirsch - Jan 22nd 2026 11:42am EST

  • Parents, doctors, and CHD sue AAP in one of the most important lawsuits in medical history

    Steven Kirsch - Jan 21st 2026 5:27pm EST

    Executive summary Hours ago, Sacramento attorney Rick Jaffe filed what is arguably one of the most important lawsuits ever filed in modern medical history. The plaintiffs accuse the AAP of operating as the central coordinator in a racketeering enterprise involving pharmaceutical manufacturers (Pfizer, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi Pasteur) and affiliated organizations. The alleged purpose: To promote, […]

  • My email asking Mark Del Monte, CEO of AAP, for a credible scientific study justifying the CDC childhood vaccine schedule

    Steven Kirsch - Jan 17th 2026 3:14pm EST

    Subject: Request for Evidence Supporting Childhood Vaccine Schedule OutcomesCc: ACIP committee members Mark, Several colleagues and I have been unable to identify a peer-reviewed study demonstrating a statistically significant net morbidity or all-cause mortality benefit attributable to the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule when evaluated as a bundled intervention. I would appreciate it if you could […]

  • No evidence that the US childhood vaccine schedule saves lives

    Steven Kirsch - Jan 17th 2026 12:45am EST

    That’s the CDC childhood vaccine schedule. There’s just one problem. There is no evidence the US vaccine schedule actually saves any lives in the US: Full analysis. I just thought it was important to point out that the emperor has no clothes because The New York Times and other mainstream media aren’t going to inform […]

  • An Open Proposal to the CEO of the American Academy of Pediatrics

    Steven Kirsch - Jan 16th 2026 6:28pm EST

Subject: Proposal for Joint Independent Analysis of Vaccine Safety Using Public Record-Level DataCc: Mary Holland, Del Bigtree Hi Mark, We haven’t met. I’m a […]

  • KCOR results on the Japan record level data shows the same harm pattern as the Czech data

    Steven Kirsch - Jan 15th 2026 3:29pm EST

    Executive summary Existing epidemiological methods are incapable of getting accurate results on vaccine retrospective studies as was finally admitted in the abstract of this published paper: This is why I invented KCOR, a new approach to data analysis. KCOR circumvents the healthy vaccinee effect (HVE) problem because it moves the “cohort adjustment” (so they are […]

  • VSRF LIVE TONIGHT: Episode 210: MAHA, Mandates, and the War on Health Freedom

    Steven Kirsch - Jan 15th 2026 10:16am EST

    Tonight on VSRF Live, we’re bringing together a rare panel of scientists, healthcare professionals, policy experts, and frontline advocates to assess the real state of medical freedom in America, not as it appears in press releases, but as it’s being lived right now by families, students, and healthcare workers. At the federal level, there are […]

  • Why can’t anyone show us the study showing vaccines save lives?

    Steven Kirsch - Jan 13th 2026 12:11am EST

    There are really bad studies using modelling data claiming vaccines save lives, but the models assume vaccines don’t kill people. Where is the study, using record-level data, showing vaccines save lives? I can’t find it. What I did find is the CDC 2017 study showing vaccination does NOT save lives. Where is the study showing […]

  • Eight questions for “Professor Dave”

    Steven Kirsch - Jan 12th 2026 3:27pm EST

    Pierre Kory and I recently debated “Professor Dave” (who isn’t a professor) and “Debunk the Funk” in a wide ranging vaccine debate. It’s hard to say if it changed anyone’s minds because there were too many topics across too short a time window. Fewer topics, with 3 papers on each side, would have been far […]

  • What happens if we apply KCOR to financial markets?

    Steven Kirsch - Jan 10th 2026 7:02pm EST

    A Quantitative Equity Strategy Derived from KCOR Research (For informational purposes only) Over the past 6 months, I developed a novel statistical framework (KCOR) for analyzing large retrospective datasets. While the original application was in epidemiological research, I later discovered that the same mathematical structure could be applied to financial markets. This post describes a […]

  • VSRF LIVE TONIGHT: Episode 209 with Nicolas Hulscher, MPH.

    Tonight on VSRF Live, I am delighted to be joined by Nicolas Hulscher, an epidemiologist and McCullough Foundation Fellow, for a rigorous examination of COVID-era assumptions, testing methodologies, and long-term health outcomes that continue to shape public policy. At the center of this conversation is a simple but essential question: Did the data ever justify […]

  • If you are affiliated with any academic institution worldwide, I’ll pay you to help redpill the world by surfacing aggregated mortality rate data from public health registries

    Steven Kirsch - Dec 25th 2025 2:58pm EST

    Executive summary The data we need to expose the harms caused by vaccines is accessible in public health registries in Denmark, the UK, and other countries, but ONLY to qualified academic researchers who are sponsored by their institutions. This excludes me, but it does include a broad range of people who are: Employed by, or […]

  • A special red-pilled Christmas Card (and how to make your own)

    Steven Kirsch - Dec 24th 2025 5:35pm EST
