@NicHulscher
Epidemiologist & Administrator, McCullough Foundation
Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, is an epidemiologist with a Bachelor of Science from Oakland University’s Honors College (2020) and a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology from the University of Michigan (2024). He serves as a Fellow and Administrator at the McCullough Foundation, focusing on public health research, particularly vaccine safety, mRNA technology impacts, and related health issues. Hulscher is highly active on X (formerly Twitter) under @NicHulscher, where he frequently posts about alleged vaccine harms, including links between mRNA shots and heart damage, cancer, autism, and fertility issues. Recent activities (as of October 2025) include sharing peer-reviewed studies on COVID-19 vaccine-induced cardiac arrest, DNA contamination in vaccines, and critiques of public health policies. He has been involved in symposia like the Reclaiming Health & Longevity Symposium and contributes to platforms like Substack, emphasizing epidemiological analysis of vaccine-related adverse events.
Hulscher presents as a credentialed epidemiologist but his credibility is undermined by affiliations with vaccine-critical groups like the McCullough Foundation and a track record of promoting contentious claims that have been fact-checked as inaccurate or exaggerated. While his educational background lends some legitimacy to public health discussions, his output consistently aligns with anti-vaccine sentiments, often prioritizing anecdotal or preliminary studies over established scientific consensus. This raises concerns about objectivity, particularly in sensitive areas like vaccine safety. Engagement on X reflects influence within echo chambers but limited broader acceptance; cross-platform consistency reinforces his niche role, though it highlights potential for spreading unverified information.
Assessment by Grok AI
Hulscher's work has faced significant scrutiny, including a 2025 Al Jazeera fact-check labeling his claims on mRNA vaccines and cancer links as defamatory and misleading. He promotes studies and reports on vaccine harms that are often from alternative or peer-reviewed but controversial sources, with limited mainstream validation. No formal corrections issued by Hulscher, but his assertions on topics like vaccine-induced autism, heart micro-scarring, and DNA contamination have been disputed by fact-checkers and health authorities for lacking robust causal evidence or relying on selective data. Historical posts show a pattern of amplifying unverified or emerging research without caveats, contributing to misinformation concerns in public health discourse.
