Dr. Suzanne Humphries Breaks Down the Disturbing Reason Vaccine Makers Can’t Be Sued on Rogan

What very few people know about the childhood vaccine schedule is that the entire system changed in 1986—and not for the better.

Before that year, vaccine companies were facing massive lawsuits. Injuries were piling up, especially after the swine flu vaccine disaster in 1976. The Guillain-Barré cases were so bad, manufacturers couldn’t even get insurance.

So what did they do? They ran to the government and basically said: “Bail us out, or we’re done making vaccines.”

And that’s exactly what happened. First, the government covered the lawsuits. Then, in 1986, they made it official. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act was passed—sold to the public as a way to help families get compensation faster.

But behind the scenes, it was a legal shield.

Companies like Wyeth (now Pfizer) admitted their vaccines were “unavoidably unsafe,” yet instead of making them safer, they were handed full liability protection.

As Dr. Suzanne Humphries explained, this created a monster. Vaccine makers could now experiment with new ingredients—called adjuvants—without fear of being sued. Creativity exploded. Profits soared. And the childhood vaccine schedule? It grew and grew.

Dr. Suzanne Humphries is a conventionally trained medical doctor and a former board-certified nephrologist (kidney specialist) who became widely known for her outspoken views on vaccines. She worked in hospitals for years and began to question vaccine safety and policy after observing what she believed were vaccine-related complications in her patients, particularly among those with kidney issues.

Humphries co-authored the book Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History, which Joe Rogan has referenced on his show several times.

The book presents historical data to argue that improvements in sanitation, nutrition, and living conditions—not vaccines—were largely responsible for the decline of many infectious diseases.
