James Grundvig details the origins of his research, citing the 2014 whistleblowing of CDC scientist Dr. Bill Thompson and the subsequent investigation into Danish vaccine studies. He identifies Dr. Poul Thorsen as a key figure who allegedly manipulated data in Denmark to dismiss the link between the MMR vaccine, thimerosal, and autism. The segment connects the American fraud exposed in the documentary Vaxxed to the international data manipulation occurring in Denmark.

James Grundvig details the criminal activities of Dr. Poul Thorsen, who was indicted on 22 counts of wire fraud and money laundering for embezzling CDC grant money. Thorsen allegedly used the funds for personal luxuries, including a Harley Davidson and a home, while producing fraudulent studies. Grundvig suggests the U.S. government has avoided extraditing Thorsen from Denmark to prevent him from exposing broader CDC corruption in court.

The timeline of Dr. Julie Gerberding’s departure from the CDC to Merck is linked to the discovery of Poul Thorsen’s embezzlement. Grundvig explains how Thorsen managed to continue working at various universities, including Drexel and Johns Hopkins, even after his resignation from Aarhus University. Despite the outstanding warrant for his arrest, Thorsen reportedly continues to receive funding and recognition for scientific studies.
