A year-long journey by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) culminates in the new documentary, “Vaxxed 3: Authorized to Kill,” premiering in theaters nationwide on September 18.
The film compiles over a thousand interviews collected during a nine-month bus tour, featuring testimonies from families, medical professionals, and whistleblowers devastated by injuries and deaths linked to COVID-19 vaccines and hospital treatment protocols.
The documentary reveals a consistent pattern of experiences among those interviewed, who reported severe vaccine side effects such as paralysis, myocarditis, and organ failure, as well as mistreatment in hospitals.
Interviewees recounted how patients, often with mild symptoms, were subjected to aggressive treatments, including the use of ventilators and heavy drugs like remdesivir, which critics claim led to unnecessary deaths.
CHD General Counsel Kim Mack Rosenberg called these actions “fundamental violations of human rights.” The film also highlights how media narratives during the pandemic, later proven false, misled the public about vaccine safety and efficacy.
Directed by Polly Tommey of CHD.TV, the film features commentary from legal and medical experts who discuss the profit motives, coercion, and censorship that fueled the public health response.

Despite the challenges, the documentary also honors healthcare workers who resisted harmful protocols and advocates for continued awareness and justice for those affected.
The interviews reveal a radical consistency in the experiences related by those who were injured and by the families who lost their loved ones and in the descriptions of abuse and neglect perpetrated by practitioners and hospitals.
“These were fundamental violations of human rights,” said Kim Mack Rosenberg, CHD general counsel.
The film opens with mainstream media clips from throughout the pandemic reporting information that was later proven untrue — that COVID-19 vaccines were safe and effective, would stop transmission and end the pandemic, and that the unvaccinated were responsible for the vaccines’ failures.
Vaccine-injured people and their families share stories of paralysis, myocarditis, cancer, seizures, organ failure, Guillain Barré, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and other adverse reactions. Many broke down in tears, some even experienced physical symptoms from their injuries during their interviews.
In an emotional testimonial, a medical coder and whistleblower — who reviewed patient records and assigned codes for diagnoses and treatments that allowed hospitals and physicians to get paid — explained how financial incentives for hospitals treating patients diagnosed with COVID-19 led to mass testing.
Positive COVID-19 tests were used to justify the use of ventilators — even when hospitals realized they were killing people — and the administration of remdesivir, which is known to cause kidney damage.
The film also covers the suppression of unprofitable treatments shown to be effective, including ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine — compiling clips from mainstream media calling it a horse drug and interviews with families detailing how their appeals for the drugs were denied and mocked.
“They politicized it and demonized it,” Kory said, talking about ivermectin. “And many, many, many people died needless deaths because they didn’t know of its efficacy.”
Kory called the media’s treatment of the drug a “disinformation campaign,” which he said was equally deployed around the vaccine and the demonization of the unvaccinated.
