With the Wind with Dr. Paul – Show 190: Pediatric Perspectives: The Ultimate Vaccine Timeline with Shaz Khan

In this episode of With the Wind: Science Revealed, Dr. Paul Thomas speaks with researcher and designer Shaz Khan, author of The Ultimate Vaccine Timeline. Shaz describes how the loss of her father in 2015 prompted her to begin investigating vaccine safety and the medical decisions surrounding his care. Her work ultimately led to a detailed historical reference documenting vaccine chronology, manufacturer changes, official reports, and adverse event information. Together, Dr. Paul and Shaz discuss informed consent, captured institutions, and the challenges parents face when navigating vaccine information that is often shaped by marketing language rather than objective science.

​A Personal Catalyst for Research
Shaz explains that she did not come from a scientific or medical background and was not a parent when she began her vaccine research. Her investigation started after her father passed away from an aggressive lung cancer shortly after receiving a flu vaccine. Wanting to understand whether the vaccine was appropriate for someone who was immunocompromised, she began researching flu vaccine side effects and discovered references to neurological reactions that matched symptoms her father experienced.

This experience led her deeper into official documents, published reports, and scientific records that ultimately became the foundation of her book.

Documenting the Full Historical Timeline
Dr. Paul notes that Shaz dedicates 180 pages of the book to documenting vaccine chronology, discontinued vaccines, adjuvants, manufacturer changes, and the shifting history of vaccine production across companies. The book also includes summaries of Institute of Medicine reports outlining conditions studied for vaccine-related causation.

Shaz explains that her goal was to create a reference tool—something parents could use to examine specific time periods, look up manufacturers, or understand prior vaccine decisions based on official sources rather than assumptions or opinions.

Experiences From Clinical Practice and Consent Without Parents
Dr. Paul shares clinical cases involving two teenage girls who developed severe neurological symptoms after receiving HPV vaccines at school—vaccinations their parents did not know about. He explains that in many U.S. states, minors as young as 15, or even younger, can consent to vaccination without a parent’s knowledge.

Shaz acknowledges that similar policies exist in Switzerland and points out that vaccine promotion materials given to children rely heavily on marketing language, not objective scientific information.

​Both emphasize the importance of parental involvement and clear communication to prevent children from being vaccinated without informed family consent.

Shaz’s Personal Vaccine Recommendations
When asked for her personal recommendation regarding vaccines, Shaz clarifies that these are her own opinions and not medical advice. Based on her years of research, she states that if she had a child, she would not vaccinate. She also shares several resources she usually recommends to people beginning to question vaccine assumptions, including Dissolving Illusions, the French collective physician book on MMR, the documentary Vaxxed, and her own earlier publication, The Virus.

She adds that many people today have limited time to review extensive material, making concise and structured references especially valuable.

Dr. Paul’s Supreme Court Update
Near the end of the episode, Dr. Paul provides an update on his legal situation, explaining that his petition to the Supreme Court was denied. His attorney noted that only about 1% of petitions receive a full hearing, so the result was not unexpected. Dr. Paul expands on why this outcome aligns with broader challenges in today’s medical environment—public health departments, medical schools, and doctors themselves are often captured, restricting open discussion and honest informed consent conversations.

​He reiterates the mission of Pediatric Perspectives and With the Wind: asking hard questions and providing truthful information to parents.

​This episode offers a comprehensive look at how documented vaccine history, manufacturer records, and official reports can shape a parent’s understanding of vaccine decisions. Through her extensive research, Shaz Khan provides families with a structured, detailed tool for examining vaccine information directly from source materials. Combined with Dr. Paul’s clinical insights and advocacy for informed consent, the conversation empowers listeners to question assumptions, review the historical record, and make decisions grounded in accurate documentation rather than marketing or institutional influence.
