The provided text argues that the story of David Vetter, the “boy in the bubble,” was a hoax orchestrated to promote a particular worldview and to benefit various industries. The author claims that the narrative of a hostile, germ-filled world requiring technological protection served as preconditioning for isolationist policies.
The text questions the authenticity of David Vetter’s condition and the actions of his parents, David Vetter Jr. and Carol Ann Vetter. It highlights the family’s decision to have another child named David after their first son, also named David, died from SCID. The author points to the doctors’ alleged promises of safety and successful treatment as unusual and indicative of a fabricated scenario. The circumstances surrounding David Vetter’s birth, including the coincidence of Dr. Raphael Wilson developing his “sterile plastic bubble” idea at Texas Children’s Hospital where the Vetters were seeking help, are presented as suspicious.
Further points of skepticism include the documentary’s length and lack of genuine emotional content, the logistical challenges of caring for a baby through gloves and sterilized items, and the unexplained funding for the extensive medical care and the NASA suit. The author delves into the backgrounds of the physicians involved, Dr. Russell Blattner and Dr. Ralph Feigin, suggesting their Jewish heritage and careers, particularly Feigin’s advocacy for immunization and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, point to a connection with “Big Pharma” and “Big Insurance.” The text posits that the “bubble boy” story was a marketing tool to sell the necessity of these industries and related services, including prenatal testing for SCID.
The article also speculates on the Vetters’ true background, suggesting they were connected to Austro-German nobility through the von Fürstenberg family, linking them to Grace Kelly and Ingrid Bergman. The remarriage of Carol Ann Vetter to Kent Demaret, the journalist who covered the story, is also presented as suspicious, suggesting the possibility of “crisis actors.”
The author further questions the identity of the boy, suggesting he may have been a mentally handicapped or Hispanic child hired for the role, citing inconsistencies in photographs and the absence of the name Carlos Vetter in later searches. The text also references the satirical portrayal of the story in Seinfeld and a John Travolta movie as further evidence of its fabricated nature, implying that such portrayals would have been insensitive if the events were real. The text concludes by asserting that David Vetter never existed and that the entire narrative was a manufactured event.
Summary with Marked Entities:
The text argues that the story of David Vetter (the Bubble Boy) was a hoax orchestrated for propaganda and profit. It suggests the narrative was designed to instill fear of a hostile world, pushing people towards isolation and reliance on man-made technology, a goal they have pursued since 2020. The author questions the authenticity of David Vetter’s birth, his diagnosis of SCID, and the actions of his parents, David Vetter Jr. and Carol Ann Vetter.
Key points of suspicion include:
- The naming of two sons David after the first died of SCID.
- The alleged promises of doctors, including Dr. Raphael Wilson and Dr. Mary Ann South, to keep the child safe, which the author deems unprofessional and a liability.
- The convenient timing of Dr. Wilson’s sterile bubble idea at Texas Children’s Hospital, where the Vetters were patients.
- The documentary’s peculiar length and lack of genuine emotional content, as well as the absence of footage of David’s father.
- The logistical and medical implausibility of caring for a baby through sterile gloves and the difficulty in finding information about how the expensive treatment was funded, raising questions about Vetter’s insurance.
- The background of Texas Children’s Hospital physicians, Dr. Russell Blattner and Dr. Ralph Feigin, with the latter’s advocacy for immunization and the Children’s Health Insurance Program linked to Big Pharma and Big Insurance. The author suggests Feigin’s career was a “cog of the great medical racket.”
- The “bubble boy” story is presented as a method to promote Big Medicine, insurance, vaccines, genetic testing, and specialized treatments, increasing NIH research budgets. It also led to mandatory prenatal testing for SCID in U.S. hospitals.
- NASA’s involvement in building a $50,000 suit is questioned, suggesting it was promotion during the end of the Apollo program.
- The Vetters’ family background is scrutinized, suggesting connections to Austro-German nobility (von Vetters, House of Valois, Komnenes, von Fürstenbergs), Grace Kelly, and Ingrid Bergman through Cecil Blaffer (daughter of Robert Blaffer of Exxon Mobil) and William Campbell (founder of Texaco). This also links to Eddie Vedder.
- Carol Ann Vetter’s remarriage to Kent Demaret, a journalist for PBS and BBC, and bureau chief for Life magazine and People magazine, further fuels the “crisis actors” theory, especially given Demaret’s family ties to Shell Oil through Jimmy Demaret and potential links to Paul Desmarais.
- David Vetter Jr.’s later role as mayor of Shenandoah, TX suggests connections that are not fully revealed, with inconsistencies in public records regarding his marital status and family.
- The Vetters’ family is linked to Joseph Rodney Canion, cofounder of Compaq Computers, through Katherine Marie (David’s sister) and Kim Canion Thomas. This also brings in Ben Rosen and Robert Maxwell.
- Dr. John Montgomery’s name is noted for its connection to Montgomery County, and his alleged ancestry links to Andrew Ewing, founder of Vacuum Oil Company, and the Cannons (Compaq’s founder’s ancestors).
- Dr. Raphael Wilson’s past as a Catholic priest and his inclusion in a grand jury report regarding sex abuse in Pennsylvania is presented as evidence of his involvement in a fabricated narrative.
- The author suspects Carol Ann’s maiden name is deliberately hidden and could be something incriminating like von Furstenberg, Hitler, or Rothschild.
- The text concludes that David Vetter never existed, proposing that a mentally handicapped or Hispanic child was used for photoshoots, citing inconsistencies in photographs showing David with Hispanic individuals who resemble him.
- The Seinfeld series and the John Travolta movie from 1976 are mentioned as satirical acknowledgments of the story’s falsity, with the Jake Gyllenhaal movie from 2001 also seen as evidence of Hollywood’s awareness of the con.
