What Sharyl Attkisson told me about vaccines

By Jon Rappoport February 11, 2015 http://www.nomorefakenews.com

“The complete failure of this year’s flu vaccine, even by conventional standards, is a major scandal at the CDC. To distract the press and public, we now have a fake epidemic of measles, and pressure to take the vaccine, take all vaccines all the time. This is called a psyop. Psyops build fake realities.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

As my readers know, I’ve written many articles about vaccines, covering: mandatory shots; the pseudoscience of vaccination; severe adverse effects; poisons in shots; disastrous vaccination campaigns, and so on.

This article is about something else. It’s about who is allowed to speak fully in mainstream media.

If truth were the objective of news, you would see reasoned debates between pro and anti-vax proponents on major networks—-but that’s a joke because no reasoned debates are permitted on any sensitive subject.

When it comes to vaccines, major media are all about “what doctors tell us.” If I may be so bold, who cares what doctors say?

Who cares?

Why are doctors a privileged class? Why do they get a free pass?

Let’s see…oh yes, it’s because government and drug companies back them up. The last time I looked, this has nothing to do with the truth.

It has to do with monopoly, though.

“I’m a doctor, and of course I’m pro-vaccine.”

“Welcome, Doctor, good to have you on the show.”

Or: “I’m not a doctor.”

“Sorry, you’re out.”

Or: “I’m a doctor, and I’m against vaccines.”

“You’re suffering from a mental disorder, Doctor, and you’re a traitor to your profession and a threat to the future of the human race.”

Media construct this premise: the pro-vaccine “experts” are truthtellers, and the people who question vaccines are “denialists.” That’s how the issue is framed. Ahead of time. On purpose.

The millions of brainwashed people who watch the news every night and genuflect and live inside that dream are content to believe “the good doctors.” They have to believe someone, because they have no opinion of their own. They don’t have the tools to form a reasoned opinion. If a doctor told them that four shots of bull sperm would protect their children from a virus floating in from the Orion Belt, they’d line up their kiddies at clinics and drug stores for the “free” jab.

An anti-vaccine reporter at a local TV station once told me she’d been labeled “trouble.” She wasn’t permitted to air any vaccine story, for fear that through word or gesture she might trigger a scandal.

Part of that scandal? Scores of viewers would contact the station and side with the anti-vaccine reporter. The execs knew those viewers were out there and were also “trouble.”

On August 27, 2014, a long-time researcher at the CDC, William Thompson, confessed in print that he and his colleagues had cooked a vital vaccine study to “prove” the MMR vaccine had no connection to autism…when in fact that was a lie. The vaccine did have a connection.

A media storm should have followed. A respected researcher coming out of the woodwork and saying, “I lied”? That’s a huge story for major media and medical media.

But? There was a virtual blackout on the story. There still is.

The vaccine establishment must be protected.

In the fall of 2009, Sharyl Attkisson, working at CBS News, blew the doors open on a huge Swine Flu scandal at the CDC:

The CDC, whose job it was to accurately report the number of Swine Flu cases in the US, had stopped counting. Stopped counting.

Why? Because the overwhelming number of blood samples from diagnosed or likely Swine Flu patients, coming back from testing labs, showed these people didn’t have Swine Flu or any flu.

That fact torpedoed the entire CDC propaganda- fear campaign aimed at convincing Americans to take the Swine Flu vaccine.

So…Sharyl Attkisson’s effort to move this story from the CBS News website on to the national nightly-news television broadcast was shot down.

Here is a piece from a 2014 interview I did with Attkisson:

Q: In 2009, you spearheaded coverage of the so-called Swine Flu pandemic. You discovered that, in the summer of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control, ignoring their federal mandate, stopped counting Swine Flu cases in America. Yet they continued to stir up fear about the “pandemic,” without having any real measure of its impact. Wasn’t that another investigation of yours that was shut down? Wasn’t there more to find out?

A: The implications of the story were even worse than that. We discovered through our FOI efforts that before the CDC mysteriously stopped counting Swine Flu cases, they had learned that almost none of the cases they had counted as Swine Flu was, in fact, Swine Flu or any sort of flu at all! The interest in the story from one [CBS] executive was very enthusiastic. He said it was “the most original story” he’d seen on the whole Swine Flu epidemic. But others pushed to stop it and, in the end, no broadcast wanted to touch it. We aired numerous stories pumping up the idea of an epidemic, but not the one that would shed original, new light on all the hype. It was fair, accurate, legally approved and a heck of a story. With the CDC keeping the true Swine Flu stats secret, it meant that many in the public took and gave their children an experimental vaccine that may not have been necessary.

Q: You’ve revealed serious problems caused by vaccines. Have you run into opposition as a result of covering these stories?

A: This is a long discussion but yes, it is one of the most well funded, well orchestrated efforts I’ve ever seen on a story. Many reporters, if not all, who have tried to factually cover this topic have experienced the same opposition as have researchers who dared to uncover vaccine side effects. Those who don’t want the stories explored want to censor the information from the public entirely, lest the public draw the “wrong” conclusions about the facts. The media has largely bought into the conflicted government, political and medical complex propaganda on the topic that marginalizes researchers, journalists and parents who dare to speak to the scientific facts they’ve uncovered or to their own experiences. It’s a giant scandal of its own.

Q: I know you’ve had problems with your Wikipedia page. What happened there?

A: Long story short: there is a concerted effort by special interests who exploit Wikipedia editing privileges to control my biographical page to disparage my reporting on certain topics and skew the information. Judging from the editing, the interest(s) involved relates to the pharmaceutical/vaccine industry. I am far from alone…

Does that tell you something about the way major media cover vaccine stories?

There is even more.

The staggering capper on this tale? Roughly three weeks after Attkisson’s Swine Flu revelations appeared in print, the CDC, obviously in great distress over the exposure, decided to double down. The best lie to tell would be a huge lie.

Here, from a November 12, 2009, WebMD article is the CDC’s response: “Shockingly, 14 million to 34 million U.S. residents — the CDC’s best guess is 22 million — came down with H1N1 swine flu by Oct. 17 [2009].” (“22 million cases of Swine Flu in US,” by Daniel J. DeNoon)

The CDC had no facts or stats or lab tests to confirm ANY of their reported numbers of Swine Flu cases in America. So they said: 22 MILLION CASES.

But don’t worry. Be happy. Everything the government tells you about disease and the need to take vaccines is perfectly true.

Perfectly, absolutely.

Exactly. Good description of how the process works (and unfortunately does not on occasion).

But to call it vaccinations “pseudo-science” is ridiculous, as you implied up-thread.

BANG! That shot (comment) was dead-center in the 10 ring! In other words, well said!

And without vaccinations, literally millions of people would die or be crippled in America from small pox, polio, etc.

Here is what that used to look like.

Is vaccination perfect? Nope. There are risks. But it beats the Hell out of the alternative...

Sorry, to be clear: You correctly (IMHO) implied the comment that “vaccination is pseudo-science” was ridiculous. You clearly did not imply that vaccination was pseudo-science.

IOW, I was agreeing with your statement. (My earlier comment could have been read either way.)

Sorry to hear that. Knew they missed their call on some of the strains. Did hit some of them, though, per my experience.

The CDC is like the rest of the fedgov: Less effective at doing their job in the Age of Obama than they used to be. Well, except for the parts used to oppress conservatives (e.g., the IRS). And even they are sucking at their actual job. Example: How much does Sharpton owe the fedgov? And what are they doing about it? Answer: Zilch.

There is something though....

I've worked in the medical field for many years...and I've met some Doctor's that are absolute idiots. And dangerous idiots at that....

Agreed. They destroyed one of the last government agencies that was exhibiting some form of competence and turned into a destructive arm of the state.

I grew up in a small town in northern michigan and went thru the whole spectrum of vaccines that were give out back in the '50s. Nobody died, nobody developed autism but unfortunately the polio vaccine came a little late since a couple friends came down with polio before we got innoculated.

Then there was basic training in 1969 where we got shots for stuff I had never heard of before. That was a particularly painful day for all of us.........LOL!

BUT WE ALL LIVED!

I have not had a flu shot since the year of the great H1N1 scare , which was incidentally the last time I actually contracted the flu. No shots, no flu since. This year every person I met who had the flu said they got their shots. I for one will never take another, instead I will continue to get plenty of rest, take vitamins and wash hands often and avoid the flu.

“The pharmaceutical corporation Eli Lilly and Company gave thiomersal the trade name Merthiolate. It has been used as a preservative in vaccines, immunoglobulin preparations, skin test antigens, antivenins, ophthalmic and nasal products, and tattoo inks.[3] Its use as a vaccine preservative was controversial, and it was phased out from routine childhood vaccines in the United States, the European Union, and a few other countries in response to popular fears.[4] The current scientific consensus is that no convincing scientific evidence supports these fears.[5][6]”

Yup.

“Muslim Outreach” NASA? Toast. A joke.

The IRS? A political tool of Obama and the rest of the left.

CDC? Lost most of its credibility.

US Military? Top ranks gutted and replaced with Obama drones. (Get below the General Staff, though, and they are still solid. Obama’s people are working on it, though.)

DHS? Not even worth further comment.

Exception re DHS: They are trying to do the same to the FBI, but have not completely succeeded yet. That said, I know a few FBI guys, and it’s getting bad. The ones who I know are retiring or going into private security.

Sure, but I would still take the medical advice of just about any doctor over “Random Dude on the Internet”.

Still, it’s always good to get a second opinion. I had a friend who went to the hospital with foot pain, a doctor told him it was gout, and just to change his diet. Well, after a few weeks of that with no change, he went to another hospital, and they told him he had a broken bone in his foot. How you miss that on an x-ray, I don’t know, but yeah, get a second opinion!

“BUT WE ALL LIVED!”

Well, the people you knew lived, but it’s true that with any vaccine, there will be a small percentage of bad reactions, and even deaths. There are just a whole lot more deaths without vaccinations, so the risk is usually worth it.

Merthiolate, I remember that stuff...

my folks had a little bottle of it in the medicine cabinet.

I think they used it on cuts.

IIRC it was reddish orange.
