Have you read about the CDC whistleblower? A senior scientist from CDC
who issued a statement that he and his co-authors (other senior figures
at CDC) deliberately omitted data to conceal the link they found between
MMR and autism?[i]
Have you read that two former Merck scientists have blown the whistle
and are suing vaccine-giant Merck in federal court for fraudulently
altering data to show that the mumps portion of their MMR vaccine worked
in 95% of recipients in order to retain their license from FDA when
they knew it did not?[ii]
Have you read that the National Vaccination Compensation Program has
compensated 83 cases of acknowledged vaccine-induced brain damage that
include autism but federal health officials still claim vaccines don’t
cause autism?[iii]
If you haven’t read about these cases in our newspapers or seen
coverage of these stories in other media, perhaps that is because the
pharmaceutical industry is the largest advertiser today spending
billions every year and these media outlets don’t want to bite the hand
that feeds them. Or perhaps those running these media outlets are afraid
of the truth.
Either way, we want to share with you the opinion piece we submitted to
the Idaho Statesman. This piece is largely the same as an opinion piece
we sent to the Idaho Mountain Express in response to inaccurate and
misleading opinion pieces run by both newspapers. Unfortunately, neither
of our opinion pieces was published.
We were very disappointed at this seeming censorship in particular
because our opinion pieces were supported by over 30 citations from
published, peer reviewed scientific literature. The Idaho Statesmen
stated that they were afraid the opinion piece might frighten parents.
We would say that parents are already frightened because they do not
feel they are being told the truth by federal health agencies or the
media and it seems our experience would suggest that is true.
Following is our fully referenced opinion piece.
The Idaho Statesman’s opinion piece on vaccines stopped short of
advocating mandatory vaccines but stated that parents should not “expect
to take advantage of a public education if you are unwilling to
participate in sound public health precautions”. Given that most parents
do not have the resources to home-school, this amounts to forced
vaccination.
The assumption that sound public health advice is absolute is quite
worrying. After all, one-size-fits-all is never appropriate with any
pharmaceutical product - but it is the case with vaccines. Nor is
science infallible. Indeed for decades federal health officials have
advised reducing dietary saturated fat and emphasizing carbohydrates but
recent science has proven how dangerous that advice was.[iv]
What is sound advice today may not be so sound tomorrow. Add to this
that properly prescribed FDA approved drugs kill over 100,000 Americans
every year and that drug companies have paid $30 billion in fines for
repeated fraud and it’s no wonder why some folks question “sound public
health advice” and want to decide what is best for their own families.[v],[vi]
Though it is commonly believed that vaccines are safe for all but a
very few, abundant science proves this false. In producing and screening
our award-winning documentary on vaccines, “The Greater Good”, we met
dozens of scientists who had published studies concerning adverse
vaccine reactions, interviewed dozens of doctors who expressed
reservations about vaccine safety, and met thousands of families whose
children were injured or died after vaccination.
All too often scientists and doctors who acknowledge vaccine risks are
demonized and marginalized with the threat of losing their medical
licenses.[vii]
And highly caring, educated parents who research vaccine safety for
themselves, often after having a child suffer vaccine injury, are
dismissed as ill-informed, anti-vaccine, crazies, but nothing could be
further from the truth.
Opinion polls show that vaccine safety is of concern to most American
parents and that those who question vaccine safety are mostly highly
educated, affluent folks.[viii],[ix],[x]
It is often stated that vaccines are irrefutably safe. Why then, one
must ask, does US law recognize vaccines can injure and kill?[xi] Why has the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) paid out over $3 billion to victims?[xii]
Why do many receive gag orders? Why does VICP list death, anaphylaxis,
brain damage and related seizures and mental impairment as compensable
vaccine injuries?[xiii] Why has the Supreme Court determined that vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe”?[xiv] Why are vaccine makers shielded from liability for vaccines?[xv],[xvi] Why does government maintain the Vaccine Averse Events Reporting System to track vaccine injuries?[xvii] Why do Glaxo-SmithKline’s internal documents show children develop autism after its vaccine Infanrix?[xviii]
The question we all should be asking is why have 150 cases of measles
in a nation of 315 million people garnered virtual nonstop media
attention for weeks and prompted the introduction of legislation
nationwide to restrict vaccine exemptions?
Could the frenzy be a diversion away from looming Congressional
hearings investigating claims of CDC whistleblower Dr. William Thompson,
a senior scientist, that he and CDC officials omitted data from a study
over a decade ago to conceal the link between the MMR vaccine and
autism?[xix]
Or perhaps lawsuits against vaccine giant Merck alleging Merck
management and scientists fraudulently concealed that Merck’s MMR
vaccine is not as effective as claimed?[xx] Or perhaps the abject failure of this year’s flu vaccine, merely 23% effective?[xxi]
Media coverage of measles cases and vaccine exemptions suggests an
emergency over measles but the true emergency is the failing health of
our nation’s children with 54% suffering from an autoimmune disease or
neuro-developmental disability that science links to vaccines.[xxii],[xxiii]
Although US children are the most heavily vaccinated in the world, 33
developed nations have lower infant mortality rates. Contrast this with
zero deaths from measles in 10 years but 108 deaths reported after MMR
vaccine.[xxiv]
The media routinely blames unvaccinated individuals for recent disease
outbreaks, but most of those who contracted mumps, pertussis, or measles
in the majority of recent outbreaks were vaccinated and nations with
vaccination rates of 97-99% suffer outbreaks.[xxv],[xxvi] The true culprit is vaccine failure, as vaccine-induced immunity is not permanent.[xxvii],[xxviii],[xxix],[xxx]
In addition, science shows vaccinated individuals can and do carry and
spread disease and hospitals warn immuno-compromised patients to avoid
those recently vaccinated.[xxxi],[xxxii],[xxxiii],[xxxiv],[xxxv],[xxxvi]
(Please note that since writing this letter, both St. Judes and Johns
Hopkins removed their website warning to the immuno-compromised to avoid
those recently vaccinated with live virus vaccines but we have attached
screen shots below for your reference.)
We all want to live in as safe a society as possible, but how can
anyone argue that any pharmaceutical product is safe for all, or that we
know what is best for others? What’s next? Should we ban those who eat
sugar and junk food, foods that undermine our immune systems, from
public places, or those with a cough from leaving home? Do we really
want to cede ownership of our bodies to the state?
We don’t.
