“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!” Upton Sinclair, anti-fascist, anti-imperialist American author who wrote in the early 20thcentury
“No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable...for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death.” President Ronald Reagan, as he signed The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986, absolving drug companies from all medico-legal liability when children die or are disabled from vaccine injuries.
”The AAPleadership knows very well that vaccines cause autism. We need not wasteanymore efforts in trying to educate them; we need to indict them.” Dr David Ayoub
“When
a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses ....
the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker, a raving
lunatic.” - Dresden James
”In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.“ – George Orwell
“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Lord Acton
Everybody
is well aware of the fear-based, 24/7 media freak-out over the 150
cases of red measles in the US, an unreported number of which had
already been fully or partially vaccinated against measles. Some of them
may possibly have been exposed to a recent vaccinee who was still
actively shedding the live virus from that inoculation.
No
conscientious truth-telling person in a position of authority has been
allowed to come forward with all the facts that we need to know before
ignorant non-scientist legislators go off half-cocked and pass laws
demanding that every child everywhere be forced to get every
CDC-recommended shots that keep the “well-child” clinics humming
(despite the fact that the “crisis” is only about measles).
The
blitz has all the markings of an orchestrated campaign, perhaps a good
example of “crisis capitalism” revealed to us in Naomi Klein’s seminal
work, “The Shock Doctrine”. Whomever the hidden persuaders are, we know
who will benefit from the freak-out. They are the Big Pharma
megacorporations, their shareholders and others who are trying to shine
up the honor of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy
of Family Practice, and other medical trade organizations, all of which
are highly dependent on Big Pharma’s largesse (in the form of
advertising revenues and financial support for their medical
conventions).
The
150 measles victims that everybody is talking about reside in the most
highly vaccinated nation in the world. With 320,000,000 people as of
January 1, 2015, there are still 320,000,850 unaffected people, many of
whom have never been vaccinated against measles. I’m one of them, having
gotten natural wild measles in childhood, which confers lifetime
immunity, whereas the inoculations that contain the live measles virus
does not confer lifetime immunity. A lot of people will take their
chances, especially since the shots have become more and more
unaffordable ever since corporations like the pharmaceutical companies
have come to rule the nation, have bribed most of the politicians and
have bought up most of the media.
At
noon today (Monday, Feb 9) I heard Dr Michael Osterholm, MA, PhD give a
speech on MPR about his perceived need for the American government to
spend more money and effort preparing for the massive number of.
infectious diseases that might theoretically threaten the US in the
future. He claimed that more vaccines are needed and they might need to
be forcefully administered to reluctant subjects. I didn’t hear him say
anything about the need for optimal nutrition, the main factor that made
all the other infectious disease epidemics essentially disappear before
the vaccines for them came on the market (see chart immediately below
for one example).
Dr
Osterholm is a non-physician epidemiologist, a member of the Council of
Foreign Relations and a former director of the Minnesota Health
Department who once worked with Merck Vaccine chief Dr Julie Geberding.
Geberding did the revolving door thing – leaving her post as Director of
the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for a more
lucrative position at Merck (one of the largest vaccine producers in the
world and the company responsible for 60,000 cardiac deaths with
unknown millions more sickened – from their now banned blockbuster
arthritis pill Vioxx).
I
was offended when I heard Osterholm accuse as frauds and charlatans
those well-respected and well-informed physicians and scientists like
those listed below who are far more knowledgeable that he is about the
neuroscience of the over-vaccination programs that our vulnerable and
innocent children are subjected to. I’m sure the millions of
vaccine-injured families were equally offended when he dismissed them as
hysterical and misinformed by the internet research they have done.
I
suspect that Dr Osterholm has never listened to any parent of a vaccine
injured child, nor has he read the lectures and writings of such
courageous, knowledgeable and articulate physicians and scientists like
Dr Russell Blaylock, Dr Sherri Tenpenny, Dr Suzanne Humphries, Dr
Kenneth Stoller, Dr Andrew Wakefield, Dr Mark Geier, or Dr Joseph
Mercola, to name only a few.
I
challenge my readers, and Dr Osterholm, to honestly study the research
and insights of those scientists. But I doubt that he ever will,
because, as Upton Sinclair said,“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary and job depend upon his not understanding it!“
Even On Point Radio has Joined the Cacophony
Also
today I heard a very one-sided panel discussion on On Point Radio, one
of my favorite public radio programs, hosted by the usually
well-informed Tom Ashbrook, who today seemed quite cozy with the vaccine
establishment. Ashbrook had a totally unbalanced panel of pro-vaccine
professionals and apologists who did not reveal their financial or
professional conflicts of interest. I very much doubt that Ashbrook will
be inviting Dr Blaylock, Dr
Tenpenny, Dr Humphries, Dr Stoller, Dr Wakefield, Dr Geier, or Dr
Mercola to appear on his program. (In fairness to Ashbrook, he did say
that he had invited Barbara Loe Fisher, the director of the National
Vaccine Information Center (www.nvic.org)
to join the panel, but she wisely declined to appear unless she was
given adequate time (the full hour, which is actually woefully
inadequate) to state her case about the unpleasant truth about the
dangers and lack of efficacy of many vaccines.
One of the panel members on today’s On Point Radio was a Democratic Party California state Senator from Sacramento, Richard Pan, who once was a practicing pediatrician.
Dr
Pan’s contribution to the program was actually a repetition of the old
pro-vaccine talking points that supported non-individualized mass
vaccination programs for any and every vaccine approved by the FDA. This
was actually irrelevant because the hour was supposed to be about the
outbreak of measles cases at Disney World.
Probably
a good politician and a good speaker, Dr Pan did sound like he was just
spewing memorized talking points from the American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP) and Big Pharma’s lobbyists, who use the same arguments
over and over again in order to convince ignorant legislative
policy-makers in DC and in most of the state capitals. Dr Pan failed to
reveal that the AAP and the medical journals he reads are heavily
subsidized by amoral and very wealthy pharmaceutical corporations.
He
also failed to reveal that many unnamed pharmaceutical corporations
invested in his political campaigns or that the AAP strongly supported
his campaigns, presumably also by financial contributions. Like most
politicians who are beholden to their paymasters, Dr Pan is – not
surprisingly – likely paying back his corporate supporters by
introducing favorable legislation to deny parents (who may know the
truth about the lethal and disabling vaccine injury epidemic) the chance
to exempt their children for philosophical or religious reasons. Some
observers would call that pharmacofascism.
A
second panelist on the On Point Radio show was non-physician,
biostatistician and computer science professor at Johns Hopkins
University, Dr Steven Salzberg, who apparently blogs a lot but obviously
knows far, far less that the Vaccine Truth group mentioned above
(lately derogatively labeled “anti-vaxers”. Salzberg uttered a number of
typical pro-vaccine talking points as well, but then also failed to
reveal any possible conflicts of interest.
The
third panelist was Liz Szabo, another non-physician, and a health
reporter for USA Today. Szabo has written many fear-inducing USA Today
articles about vaccines. To cast doubt on the veracity of her reporting,
it should be noted that USA Today earns huge fees from Big Pharma
advertising. Those advertisers would not appreciate Ms Szabo doing any
balanced reporting by, say, interviewing any of the parents of the
millions of vaccine damaged children who are now permanently disabled
because of their products. Unless she wants to risk losing her job, she
will also not do any unbiased interviews with any of the aforementioned
Vaccine Truth physician/scientist experts like Blaylock, Tenpenny, Humphries, Stoller, Wakefield, Geier, or Mercola. (See links to some of their work farther below.)
Thinking
persons should be alarmed that the mainstream media is offering no
balanced coverage, no real journalism, just one-sided propaganda and ad
hominem attacks, and the pro-vaccine groups are doing exactly the same.
The minority and truthful – view gets excluded from the airwaves or
shouted down when they are ever given a chance to speak truth to power.
DemocracyNow did a More Balanced Discussion on the Issue
Last
week on NPR’s Democracy Now, Amy Goodman actually had a Vaccine Truth
activist on the program, although she was sandwiched between two
pro-vaccine folks, including Dr Paul Offit. The guest was an Age of
Autism http://www.ageofautism.com/vaccines/
consulting attorney named Mary Holland, who is the mother of a child
who unequivocally regressed from total normalcy into severe autism
following an MMR vaccination. Ms Holland is the co-author of “Vaccine
Epidemic: How Corporate Greed, Biased Science and Coercive Government
Threaten Our Human Rights, Our Health and Our Children.” Her website is VaccineEpidemic.com
The DemocracyNow program can be heard at: (http://www.democracynow.org/2015/2/5/inside_the_vaccine_war_measles_outbreak?autostart=true). The Age of Autism’s comments about the program can be heard at http://www.ageofautism.com/kim_stagliano/.
Holland’s
segment was followed by a nearly hysterical rant by BigPharma’s
favorite son, the very biased Dr Offitt, who has made millions of
dollars developing, licensing and selling Rototeq, a rotovirus vaccine
that sheds in the stool for weeks after the shot. Rototeq has caused 350
deaths and was once found to be contaminated with pig viruses. Offit’s
vaccine was taken off the market temporarily because it caused
occasionally fatal intussusception in infants. The highly compromised
Offit is obviously working hard to save his honor and to justify his
proposal that forced vaccinations be begun for infants for each and
every infectious disease that Big Pharma can think of making a vaccine
for.
Many Vaccine Ingredients Qualify for Hazardous Waste Designations
Incredibly,
Dr Offit once proclaimed that vaccines are so safe that an infant could
be given a thousand vaccine doses without harming the child! And yet, a
few years ago, when there was an $10,000 reward offer for any physician
who would swallow the contents of a typical vaccine after being
informed of the toxic ingredients. There were no takers. After all, why
would a healthy person want to swallow such toxic stuff (and yet
physicians are quite willing to inject the same toxic ingredients into
their well babies!). It is interesting to note that if vaccines were to
be dumped in an EPA monitored landfill, they would have to be labeled as
hazardous waste, because of the presence of mercury, aluminum,
formaldehyde, propylene glycol (antifreeze), squalene, viral particles
and many other contaminants of many of the vaccines.
Offit’s
forced vaccination proposals, if enacted, would be disastrous for the
neurologic, psychiatric and immunologic health of America’s babies.
Fully vaccinated American children are already among the most
chronically ill group of children in the world (some say that, congruent
with the autism epidemic, nearly 50% of America’s over-vaccinated
children have vaccine-induced chronic illnesses such as diabetes (both
type I and type II), autistic spectrum disorders, ADHD, conduct
disorders, brain damage, food allergies, asthma, arthritis, immune
deficiency disorders, mitochondrial disorders, inflammatory bowel
disorders and cancer and are doomed to be permanent disabled patients,
having to see doctors regularly and take prescription drugs for the rest
of their lives.
Since
Ronald Reagan signed the 1986 bill into law, absolving every vaccine
manufacturer of legal responsibility for death or damage caused by their
vaccines, the Big Pharma has pumped out dangerous, poorly tested and
often contaminated products, knowing that they will have no liability
for the damage they might cause (we taxpayers are responsible for the
damages!) Many of Big Pharma’s vaccines are manufactured in China, which
has a reputation for poor purity standards. The autism epidemic started
just a few years after Reagan’s law and the incidence of autistic
spectrum disorders has risen precipitously congruent with the
increasing number of inoculations.
Dr
Tenpenny says that the vaccine industry has 200 new vaccines in
development at the present time. That will surely make things
intolerably worse for our children, but the drug companies will profit
immensely if Dr Offit’s and Dr Pan’s self-serving plan to force all
parents to have their kids get inoculated.
Big
Pharma’s vaccine makers and marketers are worried about the bleak
future for new patentable drugs in their “pipelines”, and they see
vaccines as their major growth potential. Big Pharma and their co-opted
federal “regulatory” agencies also want to get the public’s eyes off of
an important, potentially explosive whistleblower lawsuit against Merck
over false efficacy claims for the mumps portion of their MMR shot. That
trial is certain to damage Merck’s and the CDC’s reputations. (For more
information, see: http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/judge-lawsuit-against-mercks-mmr-vaccine-fraud-to-continue/).
Getting
patients and legislators to believe Big Pharma’s aggressive propaganda
is essential for it and also important for the stock portfolios of many
physicians and for-profit medical corporations. Share price is central
to the industry and no bad news can be tolerated, especially in this
volatile stock market.
When
big money is involved, corporations are known to lie, cheat, steal,
name call, threaten, smear and destroy other people’s reputations in
order to get their way or beat the competition (see information about
the Dr Andrew Wakefield case by reading his two books “Callous
Disregard: The Truth Behind a Tragedy” and “Waging War on the Autistic
Child” or actually listening to his testimony about how the British
Medical Journal, the Rupert Murdoch pseudo-journalist Brian Deer,
GlaxoSmithKline (Murdoch’s son was on Glaxo’s board of directors)
conspired together to smear and destroy Wakefield’s profession for his
“Crime” of doing honest research and publishing along with a number of
co-authors - a peer-reviewed Lancet journal article that proved a direct
connection between Glaxo’s MMR vaccine and a dozen disabled (with
autism, chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain) autistic children whose
bowels and lymph nodes were found to be infected with the vaccine’s
proliferating measles viruses. A lawsuit in Britain totally exonerated
one of Wakefield’s co-authors, but Wakefield, now an ex-patriot in
America, was unable to afford legal counsel and therefore remains
“guilty” of the trumped up charges.
The Plausible but Unproven Theory of Herd Immunity
When
I went to medical school in the mid-1960s, we were taught the
“plausible” theoretical concept of herd immunity. The theory says that
if a certain majority of the population was immune to a communicable
disease, there would be a decreased likelihood of epidemics for that
disease. In the 1960s the goal to reach was 60 or 75%. Nowadays the goal
has crept up to 90 or 95%, depending on how much the thought-leaders
are influenced by the medical trade associations or the special interest
lobbyists for the vaccine industry.
Exposing Big Pharma’s Deeply Flawed Vaccine (Pseudo)science
Below
is a collection of established vaccination information that ethical
journalists need to know before blindly accepting and then
regurgitating – the disinformation that is coming from the mainstream
media, the CDC, the US Public Health system, the AAP, the AAFP and the
AMA. I am ashamed to see how low the professional organizations that I
used to revere have stooped. Follow the money.
Immediately
below are comments and research reports from 8 very knowledgeable (and
therefore black-listed) physicians who have considerable expertise and
experience regarding the dangers and lack of proof of efficacy of
America’s childhood (over)vaccination program.
These
physicians have exposed as deeply flawed the perverted science of Big
Pharma’s “studies”, the FDA’s lapdog approvals and the CDC’s propaganda
campaign promoting America’s obscenely profitable, immunotoxic and
neurotoxic vaccination program.

From NaturalNews.org: Video: “What toxic chemicals are in vaccines?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AgKBVaPKWo
The Autism Epidemic Began in 1988 Widely Believed to be Caused by Environmental Factors
10
inoculations for infants up to age 15 months was the norm back in 1986,
when the incidence of autism was 1/10,000. This was just prior to
Ronald Reagan’s National Childhood Vaccine Injury Actof 1986 that absolved a bunch of very relieved Big Pharma corporations of responsibility for vaccine injuries or death.
Between
1988 and 1996, the following vaccines were eagerly added to the CDC
schedule for children in the first 15 months of life, doubling and
tripling the neurotoxic ingredients. Without any medico-legal liability
restraining them, vaccine manufacturers saw huge economic opportunities
to fast track vaccines through the “watchdog/lapdog” federal agency, the
FDA. Each added vaccine increased the toxic burden on every baby to
unsustainable levels and the autism and chronic illness epidemics began
with a vengeance.
·HiB – Improved Hib conjugate vaccine licensed in December 1987, and single dose added to childhood schedule in 1988.
·DTaP – Additional dose at younger age added around 1990.
·HiB – Three additional doses added to schedule in 1991.
·Hep B – Three doses – Added to childhood schedule in 1992.
·Chicken Pox – Approved in 1995, added to schedule in 1996
And
today the CDC mandates 36 vaccines by the age of 18 months, 68 vaccines
until age 12 and the rate of autism, chronic illnesses and other
neurodegenerative diseases has predictably soared from 1 out of every
10,000 to 1 out of every 88 American children. The guilty parties can be
seen on every news report right now (even on NPR and PBS), desperately
trying to convince the easily duped public that they are innocent of
these crimes against humanity and also trying to convince the public
that the vaccine damaged children and families are idiot conspiracy
theorists rather than good, caring parents who know what really happened
to their children and who did it to them.
Don’t
fall for it. Be skeptical of those opinion leaders who are on the side
of the amoral corporations, who have done so much damage to America’s
kids. Do your independent research, starting with the above internet
links.
Dr Kohls
has spent many hours researching the obscenely powerful and profitable
pharmaceutical industry and the many false claims that their lobbyists
have been making. He knows many families whose lives have been
devastated by vaccine injuries, including regressive autism that
unequivocally began with routine vaccination. He practiced holistic
mental health care for the last decade of his career. He writes a weekly
column for the Reader Weekly, an alternative newsweekly published in
Duluth, Minnesota, USA. The last three years of Dr Kohls’ columns are
archived at http://duluthreader.com/articles/categories/200_Duty_to_Warn.
