Exploring Autoimmunity, Diabetes, Adjuvants, and the Policies Shaping Public Health
In this episode of With the Wind: Science Revealed, Dr. Paul welcomes back integrative physician and vaccine researcher Dr. Sherri Tenpenny for a focused discussion on the rise of autoimmune disease, the increase in Type 1 diabetes in children, and the immune mechanisms involved in conditions triggered by viral infections and vaccine adjuvants.
From there, Dr. Paul and Dr. Tenpenny dive directly into the science behind autoimmune conditions, molecular mimicry, and the history of adjuvant development, leading into a discussion of her upcoming book examining the policies and decisions that shaped both the 2005 bird flu era and the recent COVID period.
Dr. Sherri Tenpenny’s Background and Approach
Throughout the conversation, Dr. Tenpenny brings the perspective of a physician experienced in integrative medicine, osteopathy, trauma care, and detailed vaccine analysis. Her ability to break down complex immunological mechanisms makes this an informative discussion for parents seeking to understand rising chronic illness trends.
Her insights draw on years of clinical observation and research, including her earlier work during the 2005 bird flu period, which forms the basis for her upcoming book.
Understanding the Autoimmune Shift and Diabetes Rise
Dr. Paul begins by highlighting a concerning trend he observed throughout his career: early on, insulin-dependent diabetes in children was exceedingly rare. Yet by the time he retired, he was diagnosing several new cases each year.
Dr. Tenpenny explains the distinction between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition caused by the destruction of insulin-producing islet cells in the pancreas. She goes on to describe how both viral infections and vaccine components can provoke autoimmunity through a process called molecular mimicry.
She explains that antibodies formed in response to viruses, bacteria, aluminum, or other components may later target tissues in the pancreas, joints, brain, heart, or gut if the targeted amino acid sequences resemble human tissue. This process, she notes, can underlie a range of autoimmune diseases.
“Your body doesn’t one day get a wound and decide it doesn’t like your pancreas. It’s because the immune system has been stimulated abnormally—and that’s what provokes autoimmune disease.” — Dr. Sherri Tenpenny
Molecular Mimicry, Viral Triggers, and Adjuvants
Dr. Paul references research on aluminum-induced autoimmune responses and the autoimmune syndrome known as ASIA. Dr. Tenpenny builds on this by explaining how adjuvants such as aluminum create local inflammation, hold vaccine material in place, and stimulate heightened antibody production.
They also discuss historical use of peanut oil in earlier adjuvant exploration, the presence of casein (cow’s milk protein) in some vaccines, and the documented correlations between autoimmune conditions and viral infections such as Coxsackie virus, flu, and mumps.
COVID Shot Concerns and State-Level Action
The conversation shifts to the COVID shot, which Dr. Tenpenny emphasizes she does not consider a vaccine because it does not prevent transmission or infection. She discusses the possibility of shedding contributing to autoimmune cases in unvaccinated individuals.
Dr. Paul expresses deep concern about the COVID shot being placed on the childhood schedule beginning at six months. Dr. Tenpenny notes that several states—including Oregon, Montana, Washington, Texas, and Iowa—are working to pass legislation to prohibit the use of mRNA vaccine technology.
Managing Autoimmune Conditions After They Develop
When asked what patients can do once an autoimmune condition has developed, Dr. Tenpenny describes her “clean up the neighborhood” approach. This includes reducing toxic exposures, improving detoxification pathways, adopting low-inflammation diets, and removing immune triggers.
A Preview of Dr. Tenpenny’s Upcoming Book
Dr. Tenpenny gives an overview of her forthcoming book, Zero Accountability in a Broken System: How Big Pharma Weaponizes Vaccines, Public Health, and the Law.
She explains that while reviewing her 2005 book on bird flu, she recognized clear parallels between the public health decisions, legal structures, and policy mechanisms used then and those implemented during the COVID period. Her new work examines how those earlier frameworks were applied again nearly two decades later.

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. “It’s propaganda and it’s marketing languages. It’s not scientific, objective information.”
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.
