HAS conservative commentator Andrew Bolt not read any of the 13,296 adverse vaccine reaction reports so far for 2026, listed on the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting Service (VAERS)? Probably not. Nor have most people.
Bolt recently had an on-air meltdown on his Sky TV show over President Trump signing an executive order cutting universal childhood vaccine recommendations from 18 down to 11.
The new guidance, developed by Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jnr, sensibly promotes spacing out shots, splitting the combined measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine into three separate doses, and encouraging states to review school vaccine mandates.
Bolt, reflecting the mainstream media line, called the quite well proven links between vaccines and neurological injury (which causes autism and Guillain Barre syndrome) “crazy, dangerous and a conspiracy theory.”
He referred to the 1998 study by 13 UK doctors and scientists led by Dr Andrew Wakefield that found links between the Measels, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccine, but went on the parrot the attack by other mainstream scientists and doctors, who claimed Wakefield “cherry picked data” and was “paid a million dollars by lawyers to prove that link”.
But Wakefield wasn’t the only doctor to warn of vaccine dangers. American neurosurgeon Dr Russell Blaylock produced a number of peer-reviewed papers showing that vaccine adjuvants such as aluminium can overstimulate the brain’s immune cells and trigger neurological disorders like autism, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease.
The data provided by the VAERS system reveals very clearly that vaccines can cause all sorts of adverse reactions in tens of thousands of Americans.
Cairns News has inspected the VAERS database and is well aware that many of those reported adverse events are misreported, do not involve an actual vaccine-linked injury and do not prove the vaccine caused the particular injury because they only show “correlation” not “causation”.
Mainstream sources scanned by Gemini AI tell us that VAERS “typically receives about 30,000 reports of adverse events each year during standard years, though this number can be significantly higher during major public health campaigns or pandemics (such as with the COVID-19 rollout)”.
The AI also tells us that “for serious, life-threatening, or highly unusual health events, VAERS is actually highly efficient and captures a majority of cases”, but then claims “conversely, VAERS numbers can falsely inflate the perception of vaccine harm because the database includes thousands of events that were coincidental and not caused by the vaccine”.
Here are some sample comments in the first few dozen reports from 2026 VAERS data:
– “Covid shots ruined my autoimmune system”.
– “Problem with my neurological system; Feel like something walking around my body/Literally feel the nano chip inside my body; Headache.”
– “chills; dizziness” ,,, This case involves a 74 years old female patient who had cataracts in her left eye, noticed eyes worsening with occasionally blurriness, eczema flared back, got the covid shot a month ago (Oct2025) and got sick, had chills and dizziness while being treated with dupilumab [Dupixent] delivered via pre-filled pen and Covid-19 vaccine.
– The patient reported he got a Shingrix vaccine six years ago and is a paraplegic as a result. The patient reports “I am not anti-vax, but be advised of possible side-effects”.
Bolt, like most mainstream media types, thinks vaccines saved the human race from extinction. The Salk polio vaccine, introduced in the 1950s, is credited with drastically cutting the numbers of polio deaths, which reached 3145 during an epidemic in the US in 1952.
The disease is now considered eradicated, but according to American nephrologist Suzanne Humphries cases still occur, but under different medical definitions and instead of the iron lung treatment used back in the 1950s, patients are put on ventilators.
Dr Humphries did an extensive historical investigation into polio and explained her findings to Joe Rogan last year and her shocking findings were not what most people have been told.
Bolt went on in his vaccine segment to draw on the fear tactic, always used in support of vaccines. He also insulted Secretary Kennedy, who has fought numerous vaccine injury cases as a lawyer and knows the arguments inside and out:
“I just hope that Robert F Kennedy Jnr – he’s got a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock – and I hope his latest conspiracy theory doesn’t lead to dead kids.”
No Mr Bolt, you’ve got this one wrong. Kennedy knows what he is doing and you simply need to do more research before mouthing off standard mainstream media narratives.
