An Inconvenient Study

In a world overwhelmed by headlines and data, the search for truth amid science, policy, and emotion has never been more critical. Enter An Inconvenient Study, a provocative documentary from Del Bigtree and the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), which challenges viewers to look beyond accepted narratives in the realm of public health. At its heart is an examination of a highly‑controversial comparison of vaccinated and unvaccinated children—conducted within the "Henry Ford  Health" system, and never formally published—posing hard questions about transparency, chronic illness, and scientific accountability.

Whether you approach the film with skepticism or curiosity, it opens up a broader conversation: Why are so many children grappling with chronic health issues, and how willing are our institutions to let rigorous inquiry drive policy? As you prepare to watch or revisit the film, this blog post will unpack its major themes, explore its implications, and invite you to engage—critically and openly—with a story that claims to affect the future of public health and every family in America.
