Professor Christine Stabel Benn, Southern University in Denmark, has published ground-breaking field studies about vaccines with her husband, Professor Peter Aaby.
In this episode, Peter C Gøtzsche discusses with Professor Christine Stabell Benn the research that has shown that live, attenuated vaccines reduce total mortality by much more than their specific effects would predict; that non-live vaccines increase total mortality; that the order in which the vaccines are given is important for mortality; what the harms are of the COVID-19 vaccines; and why they are overused.

Isn’t there a difference between a single measles vaccin and the mmr vaccin? I understood that the first is much safer than the second..
That is my question, too.in some countries ie Canada, it is only available as MMR, and on the pediatric schedule for 1 year olds and again at 4yrs old.
In fact, between 2mos and 12mos old, canadian babies get 10 injections of 24 vaccines. In what world do infants need 24 vaccines inside of 10 months!
It was the fraudster Andrew Wakefield who launched this idea, with no supporting evidence. They are both safe and we use MMR. See my vaccine book, https://www.scientificfreedom.dk/books/
Tak til jer begge!
Er i begge fortalere for influenzavaccine til børn?
Nej. Se min bog om vacciner, der har et langt kapitel om influenza.
The Bottom Line of Influenza Vaccination
What should we make out of all this conflicting information? This is not easy, and people will differ as to what they will conclude. What is clear is that we cannot trust the information provided by those whose job it is to care for us. Furthermore, there is no sound basis for the authoritative advice that we should all get vaccinated every year, not only from the cradle to the grave, but even from the womb to the grave.
The CDC admits that repeated influenza vaccination can weaken the immune response to subsequent influenza vaccination and adds that “these findings merit further investigation to understand the immune response to repeat vaccination.”95
There is convincing research that tells us that there is a price to pay for stimulating the immune system96 and that vaccines can interact negatively,97 even when directed against the same virus, as is the case for influenza.98 Given this knowledge, it seems irresponsible to advise people to get a flu shot every year for their entire life. This is a gigantic, uncontrolled experiment with human beings…
It is difficult to reduce the risk of a child getting high fever because other viruses than influenza can cause it, and because vaccination does not have an impressive effect. Lived attenuated vaccine reduced the risk of influenza-like illness from 17% to 12%, and inactivated vaccines from 28% to 20%,102 and the vaccine can give symptoms of illness that might potentially outweigh these small benefits.
Why are we not hearing more about this at such a vital time, when we are approaching round 4 of Covid vaccine boosters?
I wonder what do you think of FLCCC [1] and their publications on COVID vaccine injuries and their treatment with ivermectin. Has your stance on ivermectin for treatment of COVID changed since the tweets from 2021? Have you heard about Piere Kory’s book “The War on Ivermectin” (2023) where he references “The Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime”?
It would be also interesting to hear your stance on doctors scrambling to cure COVID with cheap unpatented interventions (in general), like recommending to higher Vitamin D level in the midst of pandemic? If the new pandemic illness arrives, should the doctors wait for a scientifically proven intervention or just iterate daily and try repurposing old drugs, hoping that the “intervention du jour”, even if it doesn’t work, brings little harm? When the new pandemic arrives, is doing nothing until good peer-reviewed research arrives the only scientifically reasonable thing to do?
What do you think about React19 [2] initiative for treatment of COVID Vaccine injuries?
Thank you for your work,

All drugs have harms. It would therefore be wrong not to study if they work before we use them for a new disorder. Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and a lot else do not work against covid and should not be used.

Sorry for the stupid question, but the result about Astra-zeneca shot and cardiovascular mortality reduction looks like a typical selection bias.
At the time when the study was conducted, Astra-zeneca was suspected to cause blood clots and not administered (at least in some countries) to people with underlying cardiovascular conditions. So, if not corrected for that, the result is obvious.
Note that Astra-zeneca is now withdrawn in many countries, including the UK, which suggests real and serious problems.
The faith that Covid vaccinations saved many lives is more unsupported than it seems. In 2020/2021 I played with seroprevalence and mortality data in various age groups in many countries. The data from England showed no signal about Covid-related (whatever it means) mortality reduction in vaccinated age groups. On contrary, proportions between the number of deaths in the late 2020 wave (before vaccinations) and the early 2021 wave (when elderly people were mostly vaccinated) indicate relatively bigger mortality in the older age group during the second wave, despite the vaccination.
What is interesting, the difference pattern between age groups reflects the historical seasonality – so, I suspect, that the vaccines are ineffective rather than counterproductive. But certainly not effective, at least for the elderly people in the UK in early 2021.
Have you followed the research regarding IgG4? Merogenomics is covering the topic quite well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI56k5j82z8
