| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. So much is happening on vaccines. We've had changes to the official CDC website |
| 0:07.6 | suggesting there's a link or might be a link between vaccines and autism. Just a few days ago, |
| 0:13.6 | the director of the Food and Drug Administration sent out an email saying they had found evidence |

I think I want to start with the most recent development, which was this email that went out from the FDA director announcing with this bombshell announcement, theoretically, that they had discovered a number of unreported, |
