A Shot in the Dark - Season 1

The increased number of childhood vaccines should be making us healthier. But in 2019, the US ranked 24th out of 44 countries in infant mortality. Candace questions the narrative that vaccines are making us healthier. She also shares her own traumatic story after receiving the Gardasil HPV vaccine.

From the 1980s to the early 1990s, the incidence of cancer in American children under 10 years of age rose 37 percent. Candace investigates whether there is a correlation between increased vaccines and shots like Vitamin K and this increased cancer rate. The CDC and FDA have conflicting claims regarding Vitamin K's safety. But by analyzing synthetic Vitamin K's ingredients, Candace questions whether it's more than "just a vitamin." 

In the United States, 70-80% of all males are circumcised at birth. We've been led to believe that circumcision is sanitary, but as Candace shows, the evidence might not support this. She also reveals the ugly truth about the ways in which hospitals are raking in money from selling infant foreskins to the beauty industry for use in skin creams.

Because Hepatitis B is a STD, it seems strange that newborns are given a vaccine to prevent it. When Candace began questioning the need for this vaccine, her research led to amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, an ingredient in the Hep B vaccine with potentially concerning studies regarding its safety. She also shares four important questions concerned parents should ask their doctors about the Hepatitis B vaccine.

Silver nitrate was used as a medical treatment for thousands of years. But in 1999, the FDA ruled that it was unsafe. Candace investigates how and why modern day antibiotics took over the use of silver nitrate as a treatment for babies with eye infections born to mothers with gonorrhea. She also questions why so many parents allow their children to be given Erythromycin as a treatment when they don't need it.

The chances are great that you have never known someone who has died from childhood diarrhea. Why do infants have to get the rotavirus vaccine? Candace explores why this vaccine has become so prevalent despite its adverse events including death and provides information when deciding if you should give it to your child.

Since the 1970s there's been an increase in SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Is there a link between this and diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTAP) vaccines? Candace starts by looking at the tetanus part of this vaccine combination, and examines the data that led her to question why infants are required to take it.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. And a perfect illustration of this is the pertussis vaccine that is so ineffectual it seems in some cases, only vaccinated kids end up with whooping cough. Candace also torches the notion that the vaccines aren't working because healthy, unvaccinated people aren't taking it.

Peter Hotez, a doctor and television pundit, is refusing to debate presidential candidate RFK Jr. on the efficacy of the Covid-19 vaccines. Though the world wants to hear this debate, doctors like Hotez will not defend their position. In addition, Candace recounts the Covid censorship that took place on social media, and the backtracking that is now occurring from the likes of Mark Zuckerberg.

Candace Owens reveals a shocking encounter immediately following the birth of her second child, which led her down a trail investigating questionable medical and insurance practices. What she found was eye-opening.

As soon as women hit 41 weeks in their pregnancies, they're urged into getting induction, rather than giving birth naturally. But induced pregnancy comes with increased risks —including abnormal fetal heartbeat. Candace also discusses a disturbing story about scientists testing an experimental vaccine to prevent Alzheimer's on patients with Down syndrome.

In the 1940's and 50's, DDT was a modern pesticide touted to combat malaria. But it was also thought to be such an effective preventative of polio that children were sprayed with it, causing polio-like symptoms such as paralysis. Candace also reveals the disastrous rollout of the original polio vaccine.

Is the flu shot really necessary? Does it actually work? What are the side effects? Candace brings you the information you need to stay informed about one of the most "routine" annual vaccinations. Plus, Candace shares a shocking letter issued by a pediatrician to a mother who decided not to vaccinate her child.

It's one of the most controversial vaccines on the market, and Candace brings you key information you need to know to make an informed decision. Plus, is there a connection between autism and the MMR vaccine? What is Japan seeing with the MMR vaccine that the rest of the world isn't? Join Candace as she unpacks the controversy.

The Hepatitis A vaccine is supposed to protect against a disease of the liver, yet it's typically administered early in liver development for infants. This and many other eyebrow-raising concerns about the Hepatitis A vaccine are discussed in this week's episode. Plus, Candace shares a promising statistic on vaccination rates in the U.S., and she answers your most pressing questions.

Even the third time around, there were still plenty of surprises in store. Candace shares all about her third birth, including her lifestyle leading up to giving birth, how helpful it was to listen to her body, and some things that went sideways — all to ultimately have a happy ending.

The Hib vaccine is intended to prevent a type of influenza that can develop into the frightening disease meningitis. The risks of the vaccine raise eyebrows, considering the likelihood of developing meningitis. Candace breaks down the information and answers your questions. Plus, a state attorney general sues a huge pharma company.

Should Big Pharma be the first step in treating postpartum depression or are there more practical steps? Candace vulnerably shares her recent post-birth experience, as well as practical and meaningful advice on how to get through this very difficult time.

Pneumonia, the infection Prevnar was made to prevent, is usually mild and often very treatable. Yet Candace finds a whole slew of risks associated with the Prevnar vaccine in its FDA file. Plus, you won't believe who Big Pharma just deemed eligible for Ozempic, and Candace reads mothers' vaccine stories from the comments.

It's an immunization that comes from a 1930's scientific inquiry, and its origins reflect the oddities in science during that time. Perhaps that's why scientific information on RhoGAM is one of the least accessible Candace has ever come across. Join Candace as she tries to piece together one of the most confusing immunizations she has ever seen.
