Del is the executive producer of the documentary An Inconvenient Study, viewed more than 130 million times worldwide, and through ICAN has pursued more than 1,000 FOIA requests and legal actions involving the FDA, CDC, NIH, and HHS. Del shares the nine-year backstory behind the film — from a 2016 dinner challenge with Henry Ford Health's head of infectious disease to the hidden-camera footage and the two-month sprint to finish the documentary — along with why he believes we're in the \"violently opposed\" stage of truth, where his fearlessness comes from, and the faith that anchors his work. The conversation closes with Del's megaphone message to the world: speak your truth, get involved, and let go of fear.KEY TAKEAWAYS(02:06) The handshake bet that started it all — Del's 2016 dinner with Dr. Marcus Zervos of Henry Ford Health, and the admission Del calls one of the most remarkable he's ever heard from a pro-vaccine scientist(04:59) The study gets done in 2020 — and why Dr. Zervos refused to publish it, captured on hidden camera at a second dinner in 2021(06:36) The phone call that changed everything — Senator Ron Johnson agrees to publish the study on the Senate website, giving Del just two months to make a documentary he thought needed a year(08:13) Two awards at FreedomFest — and why Del says he still gets tears in his eyes watching the finished film(10:59) Why Del says this is now \"repeatable science\" — what he describes as the 10th–12th study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children, all pointing the same direction(13:00) Del's challenge to the New York Times and Washington Post — \"show your evidence\" — and how he says the expert defense has shifted(16:44)...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/9xMz9HpJXGH4dd0ntTlc530OzNpo0NJVZfIGz8mWb5I/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82ODgz/MjQ0ZTkwMTEzY2Ri/NjlkZjYyZjEyODEy/ZjU0NC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
