“Pray Big!” ~ Polly Tommey
By Catherine Austin Fitts
A hero, according to the dictionary definition, is someone of great courage and whose achievements attract admiration. Our 2022 truth-telling hero, Polly Tommey, has courage and achievements in spades.
For over two decades, Polly has been on a mission to warn parents—first in her native United Kingdom and then in the U.S. and worldwide—about the documented side effects of vaccines. Her uncompromising advocacy has personal roots; an MMR vaccine injured Polly’s now-adult son Billy as a toddler, and by age two, he was diagnosed with autism.
Polly, who has appeared in print and television media across the globe, is the founder and directs programming at the hugely popular CHD-TV, where she also hosts shows like “Good Morning CHD,” “This Week with Mary and Polly,” and the CHD-Solari collaboration, “Financial Rebellion.” Polly’s programming prowess and her warmth, verve, and quick-on-the-draw interviewing skills have helped catapult CHD-TV—in less than a year and half’s time and in the face of extreme censorship—to an average of one million unique episode views and two million social media views every month, with viewers tuning in from 145 countries!
But Polly’s trailblazing successes at CHD-TV are only the latest in a long line of other accomplishments, each of which would be impressive on its own. In the film-making arena, Polly was a producer for the 2015 documentary Who Killed Alex Spourdalakis? (about the tragic death of a severely autistic teen) and the landmark 2016 film Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe, which featured Billy’s story, among others. In 2017, officials in Australia deemed Polly’s on-the-ground promotion of Vaxxed so threatening to the crumbling official narrative that they banned her from entering the country for three years.
Nothing daunted, Polly went on to produce the powerful 2019 sequel, Vaxxed II: The People’s Truth, which documents her 50,000-mile tour in the Vaxxed bus, compassionately collecting parents’ stories of vaccine injury. Not content to only share tragedies, the film also offers a compelling comparison, showing that unvaccinated children have outstanding health. Watching Vaxxed and Vaxxed II and following Polly’s interviews on the bus was a life-changing experience for me—and for millions more. Our understanding of the “Great Poisoning” took giant leaps forward. It is impossible to estimate how many lives Polly and her colleagues have saved from death and disabilities in the process.
As if all of this were not enough, as founding editor-in-chief, Polly established the Autism File as the world’s preeminent autism magazine; co-founded the Autism Media Channel; co-wrote with her husband Jonathan a book to help parents improve their autistic children’s quality of life; and launched the non-profit Autism Trust in the UK and U.S. to provide model residential programs that allow adults with autism to live safe, healthy, and purposeful lives.
Polly is always in demand to serve as a moderator for events for CHD, CHD-Europe, Doctors for Covid Ethics, and many other groups. She is intently focused on what delivers insight and actionable intelligence to her audience, and she drives the people she interviews to keep their contributions as relevant and understandable as possible, even when highly complex and technical information is involved. No one does this better. She also has built an inspired production team (supervising editor/producer Riley Vuyovich and livestream technician Sawyer Hart)—they are young, smart, and have their fingers on the pulse of their audience.
Passionate, personable, polished, persistent—Polly Tommey is Solari Hero of 2022.

So well deserved – Polly = amazing.
I am so happy that Polly was chosen for hero of the year! I love her sincere down to earth approach to all that is happening in the world. She really is one of my favorite people in the new media-except for Catherine of course!
I have long admired Polly’s deep Faith and the energy with which she dedicates herself to helping others.
Throughout the day if my optimism begins to fade, I repeat her words, “Stand firm. Don’t settle. Pray big.”
Is she not A-mazing?? Absolutely! You GO, Girl!
Yes big time Yes. Miss Polly you are a hero and light shining person we all love. A great choice Miss Catherine. Well wishes to you Miss Polly. Darkness can not win if we all shine our lights. Pray for God to show us how to defeat Schwab and company.
So deserved on very many fronts, especially the “Vaxxed” films contain such transformational power. Financial Rebellion is smashing. And all this great work while being the mother of a vaccine-injured child.
I first saw this on RFK, Jr.’s twitter feed. I said “Yeah” so loud it woke up my cat. She’s an excellent choice. A fierce fighter and true defender of liberty.
Congratulations Polly!!
Congratulations
Perfect choice for Hero of the Year, we love Polly!
Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication.
Holly, Jolly, it’s Polly!
…..a great woman, and agree, she has saved so many lives through educating the public about vaccine injury…
Thank you for your inspiration Polly but also for your ability to gently guide us to view and ponder the tough stuff out there. It is a gift to get people to be able to look into the face of life’s difficulties and tackle them with a touch of the gusto, humor and intelligence that you share. And thanks for reminding us all to “Pray Big”!! Best to you and your family in the new year. Solari has chosen well…you are indeed a hero!
Congrats to Polly! Love listening to Financial Rebellion every week 🙂
Polly Tommey is the perfect choice for Hero of the Year.
Not only is Polly outstanding in all that she – with the support of her husband, family and team, does – perhaps more importantly, she represents the cross-pollination and coalescing of the various like-minded (pro-freedom/anti-slavery) groups that has happened in the last 2 years and must continue to happen if we are to win this.
Polly is a lovely example of grace, with compassion and humor for those of us who have a similar lived experience; for those who don’t yet know that they share the experience, and for the blissfully ignorant who may never know just how lucky they are.
Congrats Polly!
Wonderful choice!
I love Polly Tommey and never miss an episode of “This week with Mary and Polly.” Her big-hearted, resilient spirit is a touchstone of humanity in this cold and often evil world. Thank you, Polly, for the companionship and inspiration!
Congratulations Polly. Keep up the good work!
Excellent choice!!
We love Polly!
Very very well deserved. Polly is awesome!
Very well deseved Polly, thank you for all the inspiration.
