He explains why he interviewed members of Congress for the book and what they told him about seeking information from federal agencies.</p><p>Kent and Alix explore congressional inquiries into UFOs, political assassinations, and COVID. Kent shares why the UFO hearings surprised him, how he separates documented information from speculation, and why he believes whistleblowers face a familiar pattern of resistance.</p><p>On vaccine safety, Kent says the movement has focused too much on parental choice and too little on the risks he believes parents need to hear about. His central question: If vaccines are described as safe, why do manufacturers have protection from certain lawsuits over vaccine injuries?</p><p>Kent points to the Supreme Court’s 2011 decision in <em>Bruesewitz v. Wyeth</em>. The Court held that the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act bars state law <strong>design defect claims</strong> against manufacturers for injuries from covered vaccines. The opinion discusses the legal concept of “unavoidably unsafe” products. Kent argues that advocates should bring that language and the liability rules into every vaccine safety conversation.<a href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/09-152?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> </a><u><a href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/09-152?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">law.cornell.edu</a></u></p><p>Alix and Kent also discuss why he favors a more confrontational message, the personal cost of speaking out, and what he believes it will take to change minds.</p><p><strong>In this episode, we cover:</strong></p><ul><li>What members of Congress told Kent about federal oversight</li><li>UFO hearings and questions about hidden programs</li><li>What Kent learned from working with whistleblowers</li><li>Congressional inquiries into political assassinations and COVID</li><li>Why Kent wants anti-vaccine advocates to change their message NOW</li><li>Vaccine manufacturer liability and the phrase “unavoidably unsafe”</li><li>The personal cost of speaking publicly about controversial issues</li></ul><p><strong>Kent Heckenlively:</strong></p><p>Read <em>Book of Secrets: Congress Tries to Find the Truth About the Deep State</em> and look for Kent’s podcast, <em>Twice As Lively</em>.</p><p><strong>Sponsor:</strong></p><p><em>The Alix Mayer Show</em> is sponsored by <strong>Mish International</strong>, gold and silver specialists since 1963.</p><p>When you need protection from monetary inflation and paper asset exposure, contact the team at Mish International.</p><p>Visit: mishinternational.com</p><p>Call: <strong>650-324-9110</strong> — Tell them Alix sent you.</p><p><strong>► Subscribe to the podcast:</strong></p><p><strong>Apple Podcasts</strong></p><p><u><a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-alix-mayer-show/id1880123808\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-alix-mayer-show/id1880123808</a></u></p><p><strong>Spotify</strong></p><p><u><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/7w3hgQsnH4HYtfJsu018TJ\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://open.spotify.com/show/7w3hgQsnH4HYtfJsu018TJ</a></u></p><p><strong>Connect / Support:</strong></p><p>Learn more about Free Now Foundation:</p><p><u><a href=\"https://freenowfoundation.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://freenowfoundation.org/</a></u></p><p>#AlixMayerShow #KentHeckenlively #BookOfSecrets #Whistleblowers #Congress #MedicalFreedom #FreeNowFoundation</p>","author_name":"Free Now Foundation "}
