The Plotkin Deposition: Watch the Full 9-Hour Video

The response to my deep-dive on the Plotkin deposition was overwhelming. Clearly, people weren’t just curious—they wanted to see it with their own eyes. And honestly, nothing I can summarize comes close to the impact of watching the “godfather of vaccines” questioned under oath for nine straight hours.

So here it is.

This is the complete, uncut deposition of Dr. Stanley Plotkin from January 2018, filmed during a Michigan custody case in which Plotkin agreed to testify as an expert on vaccination. What unfolded is one of the most revealing—and at times jaw-dropping—interrogations ever put on record in the vaccine debate.

There’s no editorializing, no spin, no headlines—just Plotkin, under oath, answering questions he normally never faces.
You’ll see:

• his admissions about experiments on vulnerable children

• his comments about religious objectors

• his discussion of fetal tissue in vaccine development

• his acknowledgements of missing placebo trials

• and the overall mindset of a man long treated as untouchable

Whether you’re skeptical, curious, conflicted, or already familiar with the story, the video speaks for itself.

Below is the full 9-hour version. Watch in sections, skim through, or settle in for the whole thing—but if you want to understand why so many readers reacted so strongly, this is the source material that started it all.
