    How Dr. Alton Ochsner Killed His Grandson With A Vaccine
    https://vaccineharm.wordpress.com/20...alton-ochsner/

    Quote In 1955, Jonas Salk developed a polio vaccine, and immediately five laboratories started making the vaccine.

    Shortly before the vaccine was due to be released to the public, it was sent to Dr. Bernice Eddy at NIH to safe-test. Her finding was shocking; she found that the vaccine itself could cause paralysis. She warned of an upcoming tragedy with that vaccine, yet the pro-vaxxers insisted on barreling ahead.

    One of the those who barreled ahead with this vaccine was the famous Dr. Alton Ochsner from New Orleans. He had holdings in one of the laboratories producing the vaccine and refused to believe that the vaccine was dangerous. In 1955 Ochsner assured a group of physicians at Tulane Medical School that the Salk vaccine was safe. Ochsner said he wouldn’t ask them to support something he wasn’t willing to use on his own family and that he was going to give his two grandchildren the Salk vaccine right there in front of them. Which he did.

    A few days later, his 30-month-old grandson was dead; and his granddaughter had polio. An attending physician to the grandson also contracted polio and was crippled.

    SV40 and Vaccine Contamination
    by Dr. Joseph Mercola
    November 24, 2020https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/11/24/sv40-and-vaccine-contamination.aspx?ui=8d3c7e22a03f5300d2e3338a0f080d2da3add85bca35e09236649153e4675f72&cid_source=dn l&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art2ReadMore&cid=20201124&mid=DM728359&rid=1018815864


    "STORY AT-A-GLANCE
    From 1955 to 1963, hundreds of millions of people worldwide — in North and South America, Canada, Europe, Asia and Africa — received inactivated and live oral polio vaccines that may have been contaminated with simian virus 40 (SV40), a monkey virus
    During the 1950s, the inactivated polio vaccine created by Dr. Jonas Salk was made using rhesus monkeys that were infected with SV40; the original seed stocks of the oral polio vaccine created by Dr. Albert Sabin were also contaminated with infectious SV40
    The late Bernice Eddy, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health, conducted a study in 1959, injecting hamsters with the rhesus monkey kidney substrate used to make the vaccines; the majority of them developed cancerous tumors
    In animal studies, SV40 has been linked to a number of cancers, including mesotheliomas, lymphomas, brain and bone tumors and sarcomas; such tumors in humans have also been found to contain SV40 DNA and proteins
    Research from 1992 revealed that half the choroid plexus tumors and most of the ependymomas studied — both forms of rare brain cancers in children — contained a segment of T-antigen gene related to SV40
    The controversy highlights the serious consequences that can occur from vaccine contamination using animal cell substrates to create vaccines — consequences that may not be realized until many years later

    As the world races to fast-track a COVID-19 vaccine, bringing an experimental shot to market faster than has ever occurred in history, the potential risks of medical procedures like vaccination must be carefully weighed. Unintended harms can and do occur following vaccination, and the inactivated and live polio vaccines are prime examples.

    From 1955 to 1963, hundreds of millions of people worldwide — in North and South America, Canada, Europe, Asia and Africa — received polio vaccines that may have been contaminated with simian virus 40 (SV40), a monkey virus.1 The video above is a decade old, but it succinctly summarizes the serious consequences that can occur from vaccine contamination — consequences that may not be realized until many years later.

    In the video, Dr. John Bergsagel, then a pediatric oncologist, looks at laboratory slides of tumors taken from children who died of extremely rare brain cancers. When SV40-like DNA sequences were detected in them, he said, “I almost fell out of my chair. I was very surprised.”

    The finding, published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 1992, revealed that half the choroid plexus tumors and most of the ependymomas studied contained a segment of T-antigen gene related to SV40.

    “These results suggest that SV40 or a closely related virus may have an etiologic role in the development of these neoplasms during childhood,” they wrote2 — and this was only the beginning of findings linking monkey virus-contaminated polio vaccines to cancer.

    How a Monkey Virus Ended up in Polio Vaccines
    During the 1950s, the inactivated polio vaccine created by Jonas Salk was made using rhesus monkeys that were infected with SV40. As explained in a 2004 perspective published in The Lancet:3

    “When Salk developed his vaccine, instead of using human tissues, as did the scientists who won a Nobel Prize for first growing poliovirus in tissue culture, he used minced-up rhesus macaque monkey kidneys, which were remarkably efficient poliovirus factories.

    Those who sought to supplant Salk's formaldehyde-inactivated vaccine with live, attenuated oral vaccine also used monkey kidney cultures. Despite a manufacturing problem that, at best, left six children who received the vaccine paralyzed in the arm, and despite concerns about wild simian viruses, Salk's shots were declared safe and effective after 1954 field trials.

    The next year, after grudging approval by skeptical government regulators, free Salk shots were made available throughout the USA. By 1960, scientists and vaccine manufacturers knew that monkey kidneys were sewers of simian viruses.”

    The late Bernice Eddy, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health, conducted a study in 1959, injecting hamsters with the rhesus monkey kidney substrate used to make the vaccines. The majority of them developed tumors.4

    “Eddy's superiors tried to keep the discovery quiet, but Eddy presented her data at a cancer conference in New York. She was eventually demoted, and lost her laboratory,” The Atlantic reported,5 but soon after researchers with Merck pharmaceutical company identified the cancer-causing virus in rhesus monkey kidney cells, naming it SV406 because it was the 40th monkey virus discovered.

    According to Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), in a presentation before the U.S. House of Representatives in 2003:7

    “Sadly, the American people were not told the truth about this in 1960. The SV40 contaminated stocks of Salk polio vaccine were never withdrawn from the market but continued to be given to American children until early 1963 with full knowledge of federal health agencies.

    Between 1955 and early 1963, nearly 100 million American children had been given polio vaccine contaminated with the monkey virus, SV40.”

    SV40’s Cancer Link
    In animal studies, SV40 has been linked to a number of cancers, including mesotheliomas, lymphomas, brain and bone tumors and sarcomas.8 Such tumors in humans have also been found to contain SV40 DNA and proteins. Brain tumors and mesotheliomas appear to be the most common tumors associated with SV40, with some studies showing a positivity rate of up to 60%.

    While there wasn’t an “epidemic” of cancers that followed the widespread administration of vaccines contaminated with SV40, which suggests the virus alone may not be causing the cancers, researchers noted, “it seems possible that SV40 may act as a cofactor in the pathogenesis of some tumors.”9

    As further reported in Oncogene, at least three independent scientific panels agreed “there is compelling evidence that SV40 is present in some human cancers and that SV40 could contribute to the pathogenesis of some of them.”10

    It was also revealed that, in Finland where no SV40-contaminated polio vaccine was used, researchers did not find any SV40-like DNA in frozen tumor tissues from Finnish mesothelioma patients.

    The results suggest that the SV40-like DNA sequences detected in other mesothelioma tissue did come from contaminated polio vaccines, though, “It is a matter of speculation whether the absence of SV40 infection has contributed to the relatively low incidence of mesothelioma in Finland.”11

    In 2002, meanwhile, The Lancet published evidence showing SV40 is significantly associated with some types of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma after detecting it in 42% of Non-Hodgkin lymphomas tested.12 And in a 2004 review of the then-available evidence, it’s noted:13

    “Persuasive evidence now indicates that SV40 is causing infections in humans today and represents an emerging pathogen.

    A meta-analysis of molecular, pathological, and clinical data from 1,793 cancer patients indicates that there is a significant excess risk of SV40 associated with human primary brain cancers, primary bone cancers, malignant mesothelioma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.”

    It’s often claimed via the media and even by some prominent health organizations that the link between SV40 from vaccines and cancer has been debunked as a myth, but in 2002 the Institute of Medicine released a report that found "evidence is inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship between SV40-containing polio vaccines and cancer,” adding:14

    "… biological evidence is of moderate strength that SV40 exposure could lead to cancer in humans under natural conditions … biological evidence is of moderate strength that SV40 exposure from the polio vaccine is related to SV40 infection in humans."

    Is SV40 Spreading Through Human Populations?
    Controversy still remains over the SV40-contamianted vaccines, including whether the monkey virus is still spreading among humans. There is evidence, for starters, that SV40-contaminated live oral polio vaccines (OPV) continued to be used for many years after SV40 contamination was discovered, including until 1978 in the former USSR and until 1999 in Italy.15

    In fact, in 2005 researchers with Loyola University in Chicago conducted a study to test for SV40 in OPV prepared after 1961. They tested vaccine samples from 13 countries, revealing that OPV from “a major eastern European manufacturer” produced from the early 1960s to about 1978 contained infectious SV40:16

    “Our findings underscore the potential risks of using primary monkey cells for preparing poliovirus vaccines, because of the possible contamination with SV40 or other monkey viruses, and emphasize the importance of using well-characterized cell substrates that are free from adventitious agents.

    Moreover, our results indicate possible geographic differences in SV40 exposure and offer a possible explanation for the different percentage of SV40-positive tumors detected in some laboratories.”

    Once exposed to the SV40 virus via a contaminated vaccine, it’s also possible that it has spread among humans via other methods. The monkey virus was found to spread for weeks in children’s stools following vaccination with SV40-contaminated vaccines, for instance,17 which suggests SV40 may replicate in gastrointestinal cells and could be spread via a fecal-oral route.

    DNA sequences from SV40 have been found in a wide range of tissues among those vaccinated with SV40-contaminated vaccine, including pituitary tissues and leukocytes from organ and blood donors, as well as blood samples. “These data cumulatively demonstrate that SV40 is circulating in the human population,” researchers wrote in Frontiers in Oncology.18

    Viruses Found in Other Vaccines
    While it’s often believed that only Salk’s inactivated polio vaccines were infected with SV40, the original seed stocks of the oral polio vaccine created by Sabin were also contaminated with SV40. While this isn’t something that’s widely talked about, especially by public health officials, the 2005 Loyola University study revealed that SV40-contaminated vaccines were produced until about 1978 and were used worldwide.19

    The inactivated and live oral polio vaccines were the primary ones contaminated by SV40, but they weren’t the only ones. The monkey virus was also found in the respiratory syncytial virus vaccine.20

    In another vaccine contamination scandal involving use of animal cell substrates, in 2010 GlaxoSmithKline’s Rotarix vaccine was found to be contaminated with “a substantial amount” of DNA from a pig virus known as porcine circovirus (PCV).21 That same year, Merck’s rotavirus vaccine Rotateq was also found to contain PCV.22

    Disturbingly, it’s not entirely uncommon to find unexpected viruses lurking in vaccines. In her commentary on the Rotarix contamination issue, Fisher added:23

    “The surprising discovery reportedly was made after the independent lab used new technology to evaluate the purity of eight live virus vaccines for polio, rubella, measles, yellow fever, human herpes 3 (varicella or chicken pox), rotavirus (Rotarix and RotaTeq) and MMR.

    In addition to pig viral DNA found in Rotarix vaccine, low levels of DNA fragments from avian (bird) leukosis virus (a retrovirus) was found in measles vaccine and DNA fragments of a virus similar to simian (monkey) retrovirus was found in RotaTeq vaccine.”

    Viruses and other contaminants may be common in the cell cultures from which vaccines are made. Judy Mikovits, Ph.D., a virologist, researcher and founding research director of the Whittemore Peterson Institute, is among those who has detected infectious human retroviruses in cell cultures used to make vaccines.

    In her book, "Plague: One Scientist's Intrepid Search for the Truth About Human Retroviruses and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Autism and Other Diseases,” she details how infectious retroviruses are still likely infecting many biological solutions used clinically today, including vaccines and other therapies.

    While some biologicals, like the blood supply, may be decontaminated for retroviruses others, like vaccines, are not likely to be, Mikovits said in our 2018 interview, in part because there’s no requirement to do so and vaccine makers are not liable for any vaccine-induced harm.

    So while the SV40 polio vaccine contamination occurred decades ago, the controversy continues, as does the potential for present-day vaccines to be contaminated. Many types of cells continue to be used as growth mediums during vaccine production, including animal cell strains24 from chickens, dogs, monkeys, hamsters25 and insects,26 as well as cells from bacteria or yeast.

    With more vaccines in development and some being fast-tracked to market, it’s more important than ever that scientists, manufacturers and regulators take a step back to ensure that the means of prevention or treatment doesn’t end up being worse than the disease.One of the Most Powerful Videos I've Ever Seen
    The following video from Barbara Loe Fisher is one of the most powerful videos that I have ever seen. I am hopeful that watching this video will inspire you to take up the cause and join the fight for vaccine freedom and independence.

    There is a cultural war and collusion between many industries and federal regulatory agencies that results in a suppression of the truth about vital important health issues. If this suppression continues we will gradually and progressively erode our private individual rights that our ancestors fought so hard to achieve. Please take a few minutes to watch this video.



    Protect Your Right to Informed Consent and Defend Vaccine Exemptions
    With all the uncertainty surrounding the safety and efficacy of vaccines, it's critical to protect your right to make independent health choices and exercise voluntary informed consent to vaccination. It is urgent that everyone in America stand up and fight to protect and expand vaccine informed consent protections in state public health and employment laws. The best way to do this is to get personally involved with your state legislators and educate the leaders in your community.

    Think Globally, Act Locally
    National vaccine policy recommendations are made at the federal level but vaccine laws are made at the state level. It is at the state level where your action to protect your vaccine choice rights can have the greatest impact.

    It is critical for EVERYONE to get involved now in standing up for the legal right to make voluntary vaccine choices in America because those choices are being threatened by lobbyists representing drug companies, medical trade associations and public health officials, who are trying to persuade legislators to strip all vaccine exemptions from public health laws.

    Signing up for NVIC's free Advocacy Portal at www.NVICAdvocacy.org gives you immediate, easy access to your own state legislators on your smartphone or computer so you can make your voice heard. You will be kept up to date on the latest state bills threatening your vaccine choice rights and will get practical, useful information to help you become an effective vaccine choice advocate in your own community.

    Also, when national vaccine issues come up, you will have the up-to-date information and call-to-action items you need at your fingertips. So, please, as your first step, sign up for the NVIC Advocacy Portal.

    Share Your Story With the Media and People You Know
    If you or a family member has suffered a serious vaccine reaction, injury or death, please talk about it. If we don't share information and experiences with one another, everybody feels alone and afraid to speak up. Write a letter to the editor if you have a different perspective on a vaccine story that appears in your local newspaper. Make a call in to a radio talk show that is presenting only one side of the vaccine story.

    I must be frank with you: You have to be brave because you might be strongly criticized for daring to talk about the "other side" of the vaccine story. Be prepared for it and have the courage to not back down. Only by sharing our perspective and what we know to be true about vaccination will the public conversation about vaccination open up so people are not afraid to talk about it.

    We cannot allow the drug companies and medical trade associations funded by drug companies or public health officials promoting forced use of a growing list of vaccines to dominate the conversation about vaccination.

    The vaccine injured cannot be swept under the carpet and treated like nothing more than "statistically acceptable collateral damage" of national one-size-fits-all mandatory vaccination policies that put way too many people at risk for injury and death. We shouldn't be treating people like guinea pigs instead of human beings.

    Global Vaccine Passport Will Be Required for Travel
    by Dr. Joseph Mercola
    November 24, 2020
    https://articles.mercola.com/sites/a...rid=1018815864


    "STORY AT-A-GLANCE
    Forced vaccination is part and parcel of the plan to “reset” the global economic system, forever altering life as we know it. Now, global vaccine passports are being introduced, and it’s only a matter of time before vaccination status will be a prerequisite for travel
    CommonPass is a digital “health passport” framework initiated by The Commons Project, the World Economic Forum and The Rockefeller Foundation
    When you get your test result or vaccine, that data is uploaded to an app on your cellphone. The app generates a barcode that is then scanned at the airport, at hotel check-in and wherever else vaccine status verification is deemed necessary
    The CommonPass digital clearance system is currently being tested by United Airlines on flights between London and Newark, and Cathay Pacific on flights between Hong Kong and Singapore
    In an April 2020 white paper, The Rockefeller Foundation laid out a strategic framework clearly intended to become part of a permanent surveillance and social control structure that severely limits personal liberty and freedom of choice
    Around the world, there’s considerable resistance against mandatory COVID-19 vaccination, but even if the vaccine ends up being “voluntary,” refusing to take it will have severe implications for people who enjoy their freedom.

    For months, the writing has been on the wall: Forced vaccination is part and parcel of the plan to “reset” the global economic system, forever altering life as we know it along the way. Now, global vaccine passports are in fact being introduced, and it’s only a matter of time before vaccination status will be a prerequisite for travel.

    Just how voluntary is it if you have to have the COVID-19 vaccine if you ever want to leave the country — or perhaps even state — in which you live, at any point during the rest of your life?

    CommonPass
    CommonPass1 is a digital “health passport” framework initiated by The Commons Project, the World Economic Forum and The Rockefeller Foundation, which during the first week of July 2020 convened more than 350 leaders from the public and private sectors in 52 countries to design a common framework “for safe border reopening” around the world. The proposed framework involves the following:

    Every nation must publish their health screening criteria for entry into the country using a standard format on a common framework
    Each country must register trusted facilities that conduct COVID-19 lab testing for foreign travel and administer vaccines listed in the CommonPass registry
    Each country will accept health screening status from foreign visitors through apps and services built on the CommonPass framework
    Patient identification is to be collected at the time of sample collection and/or vaccination using an international standard
    The CommonPass framework will be integrated into flight and hotel reservation and check-in processes
    Eventually, the CommonPass framework will be integrated with already existing personal health apps such as Apple Health and CommonHealth. If you want to travel, your personal health record will be evaluated and compared to a country’s entry requirements, and if you don’t meet them, you’ll be directed to an approved testing and vaccination location.

    A screen grab from the video illustrates the general idea of how this will all work. When you get your test result or vaccine, that data is uploaded to an app on your cellphone. The app generates a barcode that is then scanned at the airport, at hotel check-in and wherever else vaccine status verification is deemed necessary.



    That the Rockefeller Foundation is one of the three founders of CommonPass should surprise no one, considering they basically laid the groundwork for it in their April 21, 2020, white paper2 “National COVID-19 Testing Action Plan — Strategic Steps to Reopen Our Workplaces and Our Communities.”

    That white paper laid out a strategic framework that is clearly intended to become part of a permanent surveillance and social control structure that severely limits personal liberty and freedom of choice.

    It also warns that elimination of privacy will be required, stating that “Some privacy concerns must be set aside for an infectious agent as virulent as COVID-19 …” The tracking system proposed by The Rockefeller Foundation also demands access to other medical data, which tells us the system will have any number of other uses besides tracking COVID-19 cases.

    Worldwide Tracking Begins
    This digital clearance system is currently being tested by United Airlines3 on flights between London and Newark, and Cathay Pacific on flights between Hong Kong and Singapore.4 As reported by Tott News, November 15, 2020:5

    “Volunteer travelers landing at Newark Liberty International Airport on United Airlines Flight 15 from London Heathrow used the CommonPass health pass on their mobile phone to document their COVID-19 status and share it with airline staff upon disembarking.

    Officials from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) observed the CommonPass demonstration in Newark … The transatlantic trial followed a successful trial of CommonPass on a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Singapore on October 6.

    Paul Meyer, CEO of The Commons Project, says it is anticipated that following initial trials, CommonPass will be rolled out on other routes, including international travel to and from Australia …

    We are now seeing the beginning phases of a worldwide tracking system that will be linked to the health status of each and every individual … This has always been the agenda. Track and trace; identify the undesirables through deception.”

    CommonPass Is a Cog in The Great Reset Wheel
    As explained in “What You Need to Know About ‘the Great Reset’,” the current pandemic is being used as a justification for why we need to reset the global economy and shift away from capitalism and free enterprise into a new system of technocracy.

    The word “technocracy” is never used by actual technocrats, mind you. Instead, they talk about the Great Reset and the fourth industrial revolution, the nuts and bolts of which boil down to transhumanism. In years past, this plan was referred to as a “new world order” or “one world order.” All of these terms, however, refer to an agenda that has the same ultimate goal.

    CommonPass is a cog in this Great Reset plan. It’s the beginning stage of mass tracking and tracing, under the guise of keeping everyone safe from infectious disease. Rest assured, it will not be limited to COVID-19. The pandemic is just the justification for ushering in this radical new way of life.
    It’s a plan that is decades in the making. Ultimately, the goal is to monitor and control the world through technological surveillance. It’s a world government run by self-appointed elitists; hence, it calls for the total dismantling of the political system, which includes the U.S. Constitution. National borders are also destined to be erased.

    Sustainable Digital Finance
    Technocracy is a resource-based economic system, which is why the World Economic Forum talks about the creation of “sustainable digital finance,”6 a carbon-based economy and carbon credit trading.7 As explained on its website:8

    “Digital finance refers to the integration of big data, artificial intelligence (AI), mobile platforms, blockchain and the Internet of things (IoT) in the provision of financial services. Sustainable finance refers to financial services integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into the business or investment decisions.

    When combined, sustainable digital finance can take advantage of emerging technologies to analyze data, power investment decisions and grow jobs in sectors supporting a transition to a low-carbon economy.”

    These rather innocuous-sounding definitions hide a true intent that would shock people to their core, were they to see the complete picture. Professor Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, has stated that the fourth industrial revolution will “lead to a fusion of our physical, digital and biological identity,” complete with implantable microchips capable of reading your thoughts.9

    This no longer sounds so far-fetched when you consider that technocracy requires social engineering to work. It requires total surveillance. It requires each person to be tied to the digital matrix — physically, mentally and financially — such that they cannot rebel.

    To learn more about the history and intent behind technocracy, consider reading Patrick Wood’s books, “Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation”10 and “Technocracy: The Hard Road to World Order.”11

    When world leaders now talk about “building back better” and spin tales about a utopia in which humanity no longer has a negative impact on the environment, what they’re really talking about is the transition to a world in which mankind is no longer free to do any of the things we’ve previously engaged in and typically enjoyed.

    CommonPass is a cog in this Great Reset plan. It’s the beginning stage of mass tracking and tracing, under the guise of keeping everyone safe from infectious disease. Rest assured, it will not be limited to COVID-19. The pandemic is just the justification for ushering in this radical new way of life.

    The global lockdowns are part and parcel of this plan too. You may have seen articles musing about how waterways and air cleared up while everyone kept indoors for weeks on end. Who knows, in the future, we may well have rolling lockdowns to look forward to — periodic house arrests for the sake of the environment, if not to prevent the latest outbreak.

    Meanwhile, social distancing and mask wearing separates us from our fellow man, demoralizes and dehumanizes us and makes us alone, fearful and anxious, which in turn prevents us from thinking logically and from coordinating resistance efforts with others. Add to that a grossly biased media and draconian censorship, where the Big Tech overlords decide what opinions and even facts are allowable and which are not.

    When you multiply it all together, it starts looking like the biggest psyop in the history of mankind, which in turn begs the question: If the direction they want us to go will actually lead to utopia, would this kind of social engineering effort really be necessary?

    Welcome to 2030
    November 10, 2016, the World Economic Forum published an article12 in Forbes titled, “Welcome to 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy and Life Has Never Been Better.” Let’s read beyond the creepy headline and see what this is all about, shall we?

    “Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city — or should I say, ‘our city.’ I don't own anything. I don't own a car. I don't own a house. I don't own any appliances or any clothes.

    It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product, has now become a service. We have access to transportation, accommodation, food and all the things we need in our daily lives. One by one all these things became free, so it ended up not making sense for us to own much …

    In our city we don't pay any rent, because someone else is using our free space whenever we do not need it. My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there. Once in a while, I will choose to cook for myself. It is easy — the necessary kitchen equipment is delivered at my door within minutes …

    Shopping? I can't really remember what that is. For most of us, it has been turned into choosing things to use. Sometimes I find this fun, and sometimes I just want the algorithm to do it for me. It knows my taste better than I do by now.

    When AI and robots took over so much of our work, we suddenly had time to eat well, sleep well and spend time with other people ... The work that we do can be done at any time. I don't really know if I would call it work anymore. It is more like thinking-time, creation-time and development-time …

    Once in a while I get annoyed about the fact that I have no real privacy. Nowhere I can go and not be registered. I know that, somewhere, everything I do, think and dream of is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me. All in all, it is a good life.”

    Techno-Tyranny Steps Into Broad Daylight
    As noted in The Last American Vagabond’s article13 “Techno-Tyranny: How the U.S. National Security State Is Using Coronavirus to Fulfill an Orwellian Vision,” the U.S. is rapidly adopting an artificial intelligence-driven mass surveillance system rivaling that of China, and legal and structural obstacles are being swept away “under the guise of combating the coronavirus crisis.”

    Again, technocracy requires social engineering to work, the effectiveness of which in turn requires mass surveillance and automation. In the first half of the 20th century, George Orwell wrote a dystopian novel, “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” in which the government controlled every aspect of a person’s life, including their very thoughts.

    Today, scientists seem intent on turning Orwell’s nightmarish vision into reality, using the COVID-19 pandemic, national security and public health as their justification for doing so. Don’t expect them to admit this, however. Instead, be prepared for variations of the Forbes article above. It’s basically a world in which everyone has been stripped of purpose.

    Artificial intelligence algorithms make decisions for you, and if you disobey or start thinking fancy thoughts all on your own, you can expect to be financially and socially disenfranchised. Effectively eliminating an individual from society will be as easy as pressing a button and putting a freeze on your digital wallet and identification.

    Already, many truth-tellers that were purged from YouTube and other social media platforms simultaneously lost their PayPal and other digital payment accounts. No advance warning, and no justification given. Imagine if all your finances were tied together in a digital finance system and everything was shut down all at once. That, I’m sure, would discourage most everyone from expressing any contradictory views.

    If you think this kind of technology is still in its cradle, check out Spiro Skouras video below, in which he discusses the rollout of the United Nations’ biometric digital wallet. This, undoubtedly, brings the UN one step closer to becoming the world’s de facto leadership hub.


    Artificial Intelligence Is Further Along Than Most Can Imagine
    Indeed, artificial intelligence is a key component of effective surveillance and social engineering. Data is useless unless you can interpret it and make decisions based on it. As noted by The Last American Vagabond:14

    “[In 2019], a U.S. government body dedicated to examining how artificial intelligence can ‘address the national security and defense needs of the United States’ discussed in detail the ‘structural’ changes that the American economy and society must undergo in order to ensure a technological advantage over China, according to a recent document15 acquired through a FOIA request.

    This document suggests that the U.S. follow China’s lead and even surpass them in many aspects related to AI-driven technologies, particularly their use of mass surveillance.

    This perspective clearly clashes with the public rhetoric of prominent U.S. government officials and politicians on China, who have labeled the Chinese government’s technology investments and export of its surveillance systems and other technologies as a major ‘threat’ to Americans’ ‘way of life.’16”

    The document17 the article refers to was produced by the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI), a government organization created by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2018.

    Its purpose is “to consider the methods and means necessary to advance the development of artificial intelligence, machine learning and associated technologies to comprehensively address the national security and defense needs of the United States,” and ensure the U.S. maintains a technological advantage.

    To that end, the NSCAI is pushing for an overhaul of the American way of life and economy in order to usher in a more comprehensive AI-driven surveillance apparatus. In other words, a Great Reset.

    How to Resist the Great Reset
    Ironically, while the real plan is to usher in a tech-driven globalist-run dystopia free of democratic controls, technocrats speak of this plan as a way to bring us back into harmony with Nature.

    As I discuss in “The Global Takeover Is Underway,” the medical tyranny and censorship of anti-groupthink that has emerged during this pandemic are an unavoidable element of the Great Reset, and if you think it’s bad now, just wait until the whole system is brought fully online.

    The mere idea of dissent will become a thought of the past, because your life — your health, educational and work opportunities, your finances and your very identity — will be so meshed with the automated technological infrastructure that any attempt to break free will result in you being locked out or erased from the system, leaving you with no ability to learn, work, travel or purchase anything.

    It sounds far-fetched, I know, but when you follow the technocratic plan to its inevitable end, that’s basically what you end up with. The warning signs are all around us, if we’re willing to see them for what they actually are. The only question now is whether enough people are willing to resist it to make a difference.

    Along those lines, let us carefully reflect on one of the United States’ founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, in his warning and caution with respect to losing our liberty. I frequently reflect on them when I consider potential options in this new contrived crisis challenges we are confronted with:

    Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. ~ Benjamin Franklin

    One of the Most Powerful Videos I've Ever Seen
    The following video from Barbara Loe Fisher is one of the most powerful videos that I have ever seen. I am hopeful that watching this video will inspire you to take up the cause and join the fight for vaccine freedom and independence.

    There is a cultural war and collusion between many industries and federal regulatory agencies that results in a suppression of the truth about vital important health issues. If this suppression continues we will gradually and progressively erode our private individual rights that our ancestors fought so hard to achieve. Please take a few minutes to watch this video.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEcY...ature=emb_logo
    With all the uncertainty surrounding the safety and efficacy of vaccines, it's critical to protect your right to make independent health choices and exercise voluntary informed consent to vaccination. It is urgent that everyone in America stand up and fight to protect and expand vaccine informed consent protections in state public health and employment laws. The best way to do this is to get personally involved with your state legislators and educate the leaders in your community.

    Think Globally, Act Locally
    National vaccine policy recommendations are made at the federal level but vaccine laws are made at the state level. It is at the state level where your action to protect your vaccine choice rights can have the greatest impact.

    It is critical for EVERYONE to get involved now in standing up for the legal right to make voluntary vaccine choices in America because those choices are being threatened by lobbyists representing drug companies, medical trade associations and public health officials, who are trying to persuade legislators to strip all vaccine exemptions from public health laws.

    Signing up for NVIC's free Advocacy Portal at www.NVICAdvocacy.org gives you immediate, easy access to your own state legislators on your smartphone or computer so you can make your voice heard. You will be kept up to date on the latest state bills threatening your vaccine choice rights and will get practical, useful information to help you become an effective vaccine choice advocate in your own community.

    Also, when national vaccine issues come up, you will have the up-to-date information and call-to-action items you need at your fingertips. So, please, as your first step, sign up for the NVIC Advocacy Portal.

    JOIN THE NVIC ADVOCACY PORTAL

    Share Your Story With the Media and People You Know
    If you or a family member has suffered a serious vaccine reaction, injury or death, please talk about it. If we don't share information and experiences with one another, everybody feels alone and afraid to speak up. Write a letter to the editor if you have a different perspective on a vaccine story that appears in your local newspaper. Make a call in to a radio talk show that is presenting only one side of the vaccine story.

    I must be frank with you: You have to be brave because you might be strongly criticized for daring to talk about the "other side" of the vaccine story. Be prepared for it and have the courage to not back down. Only by sharing our perspective and what we know to be true about vaccination will the public conversation about vaccination open up so people are not afraid to talk about it.

    We cannot allow the drug companies and medical trade associations funded by drug companies or public health officials promoting forced use of a growing list of vaccines to dominate the conversation about vaccination.

    The vaccine injured cannot be swept under the carpet and treated like nothing more than "statistically acceptable collateral damage" of national one-size-fits-all mandatory vaccination policies that put way too many people at risk for injury and death. We shouldn't be treating people like guinea pigs instead of human beings.

    Internet Resources Where You Can Learn More
    I encourage you to visit the website of the nonprofit charity, the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), at www.NVIC.org:

    Default Re: The US Vaccine issue is more than just about "The Shots", it's the Totalitarian Tiptoe

    Paul Thomas MD wrote a book The Vaccine-Friendly Plan : Dr. Paul's Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health-From Pregnancy Through Your Child's Teen Years. In his practice he had many patients who had experienced vaccine injuries. He offered vaccines and many families were using vaccination. Some of the families did not use vaccines. He was one of the rare MDs who did not force vaccination on the children.

    He has been in practice long enough to have the ability to study the difference in health between the vaccinated and unvaccinated children. The results of a scientific study PROVED that unvaccinated children ARE healthier. This is the crime he committed. He has been censored and unable at this time to practice medicine. Sad and guess who loses MOST? Of course it is his patients and by extension, we all lose. I am so sad about the axis of EVIL: BIG MEDIA, PHARMA, TECH, AND POLITICS.
    But everyone who accepts a vaccine must be seen as complicit. What really, really hurts is the unwillingness of people to accept the bare faced truth....and they accept being poisoned and poison those in their care. This is human race altering and probably human race ending unless people understand the threat.

    Will people change their minds and live? I feel doubt because supposedly intelligent people I know are under the spell.

    The only way I can bear what is happening is to stay in prayer because I am horrified.

    Quote The Backfiring Attempted Takedown of Dr. Paul Thomas
    written by davis taylorsunday february 21, 2021


    A coordinated effort is underway to silence and discredit those putting forth any information that conflicts with the mantra that “vaccines are safe, necessary and effective” (the mantra). Big Pharma and its cronies in the state and media are at the helm of the effort. Of course, the mantra is merely a Big Pharma marketing slogan, and it’s preposterous to believe that it scientifically buttons-up the highly complex topic of vaccines and their associated diseases.

    Those paying attention while this plays out are accustomed to stories of doctors and scientists whose livelihoods have been crushed after stating anything deemed to be in conflict with the mantra. Andrew Wakefield’s story is perhaps the most well-known of these but, at this point, there are too many “Wakefields” to count.

    This article is about Dr. Paul Thomas and it has the familiar storyline of a doctor suffering professionally after expressing vaccine safety concerns. However, it also has another storyline which is heartening and ironic–about how two rounds volleyed against Dr. Thomas have backfired badly, arguably harming Big Pharma’s beloved mantra far more than Dr. Thomas.

    Round 1 – Dr. Thomas’ belief that he was targeted by the Oregon Medical Board (OMB) triggered his landmark study comparing the health outcomes of vaccinated children with those of unvaccinated children, which showed significantly better outcomes in the unvaccinated children.

    This article provides a broad overview of Dr. Thomas’ story. A more detailed discussions of it, in Dr. Thomas’ own words, can be found in two interviews conducted with him in December of 2020, one by Bretigne Shaffer (Shaffer interview) and one by Del Bigtree of The HighWire (Episode 193 of The HighWire 1:19:25-1:56:13) (HW interview). However, before delving into Dr. Thomas’ story, it’s helpful to review the general backdrop that existed with regard to vaccines while it transpired.

    In the US, the manufacturers of many vaccines have been afforded highly unusual liability protections. Claims of harm pertaining to the vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for routine use in children must proceed under a special system called the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP). Under this system, the vaccine manufacturers are shielded from liability, and taxpayers, rather than vaccine manufacturers, fund any award of damages through payment of an excise tax. The CDC recommends some of these childhood vaccines for use in adults and, for those vaccines, the manufacturers’ shield from liability also extends to adult use. The manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines have also been afforded liability protections, although claims of harm from COVID-19 vaccines will proceed through the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program rather than through the NVICP.

    In 1983, the CDC recommended 24 doses of 7 childhood vaccines. That was prior to the aforementioned removal of liability, which began in 1986. The CDC now recommends approximately 70 doses of 16 vaccines by age 18. A person receiving all of the doses on the CDC’s current childhood and adult schedules would receive nearly 150 lifetime doses. Further, the number of vaccines on the schedules is expected to continue rising. For example, Bill Gates, who strongly influences vaccine policy, has reportedly stated that a COVID-19 vaccine will likely become part of the newborn vaccine schedule. In recent years, a battle has taken place regarding vaccine mandates and several states have rolled back childhood vaccine exemptions.

    Dr. Thomas has been a strong voice for the right to informed consent and vaccine choice. He has an impressive background, including that he received his M.D. from Dartmouth Medical School and that he’s board-certified in pediatrics, addiction medicine, and integrative and holistic medicine. He opened his current practice in Portland, Oregon in 2008 and it’s served over eleven thousand patients.

    It was within the context of the rapidly growing CDC schedule and a battle over vaccine mandates that Dr. Thomas co-authored a book, The Vaccine Friendly Plan, published in 2016. The book discusses his recommended plan, which was designed to limit exposure to aluminum-containing vaccines and allows for the delay or cessation of vaccinations if any of the tell-tale signs of vaccine injury appear. The plan affords parents the right to informed consent, providing them with a thorough explanation of the risks and benefits of each vaccine on the CDC schedule and the right to choose which, if any vaccines their children receive. Dr. Thomas describes his approach as individualizing the vaccine plan to the patient, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach (Shaffer interview 24:30-24:47). The parental choice afforded by Dr. Thomas’ plan does not violate Oregon vaccination law.

    In Dr. Thomas’ interview with Shaffer, he indicated that he believes the 2016 publication of his book put a target on him with the OMB because his troubles with the board began in 2018, after the book’s publication (Shaffer interview 6:08-11:00). He explained that the OMB repeatedly requested information from his practice, in what he described as a “fishing expedition,” but that it didn’t issue any order against his license until its December 3, 2020 order of emergency suspension, which was issued within a handful of days after the publication of his landmark study, discussed below (Shaffer interview 24:49-27:21). Dr. Thomas also discussed the issuance of the order in his interview with Bigtree (HW interview 1:40:13-1:54:55).

    This article does not attempt to address all of the allegations contained in the order and Dr. Thomas didn’t attempt to do so in his interviews with Shaffer or Bigtree. He noted that he intends to oppose the suspension through legal means. However, the information he provided in response to questions about one of the cases cited in the order is quite eyebrow-raising. Section 3.3.3 of the order refers to an unvaccinated boy who developed a very serious case of tetanus following a scalp laceration, which required a lengthy hospitalization. Dr. Thomas explained that he didn’t meet the child or his parents (who had committed to not vaccinating long before Dr. Thomas met them) until after the incident and after the boy’s release from the hospital, when Dr. Thomas agreed to take him on as a patient for follow up. According to the order, that follow up visit occurred in November of 2017 (several years prior to the December 3, 2020 “emergency” suspension of Dr. Thomas’ license) and the allegations set forth in the order include that Dr. Thomas didn’t document an informed consent discussion he gave during the visit. Dr. Thomas explained to Shaffer that, although he did provide the discussion in the visit, he didn’t document it because the visit was not a “well-child visit,” and that he subsequently gave the discussion again to the boy and his parents during a well-child visit and documented it then, in accordance with his office’s procedure (Shaffer interview 27:21-32:18). Dr. Thomas noted that, during the boy’s lengthy hospital stay, his parents were not persuaded by any provider at the hospital to vaccinate him.

    If the allegations concerning the tetanus case are any indication of the overall strength of the OMB’s case against Dr. Thomas, it’s reasonable to wonder whether his suspension will be legally upheld, or perhaps more importantly, whether it will be upheld in the court of public opinion.

    Dr. Thomas explained to Bigtree that in January of 2019, due to the OMB’s focus on his practice, he decided to have a study conducted comparing (based upon vaccination level) the health of the children born into his practice (HW interview 1:29-1:31, 1:34:40-1:39:30). Vaccine safety advocates have long requested that the CDC conduct a “vaccinated versus unvaccinated” health outcome study, and also a safety study of the entire CDC schedule. Such testing has not been conducted by the CDC or any federal agency.

    Dr. Thomas and Bigtree discussed this lack of safety testing during the Bigtree interview. They noted that it’s illogical to conclude that not vaccinating at all, or only partially vaccinating, is less safe than vaccinating in accordance with the full CDC schedule, in light of that fact that the safety of the schedule itself has not been proven and it has not been proven that vaccinated children are healthier than unvaccinated ones (HW interview 1:24:23-1:25:50).

    Fortunately, Dr. Thomas, along with James Lyons-Weiler, PhD, did conduct a study comparing the health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children. The results of their study are astounding and very problematic for Big Pharma. They’re set forth in a peer-reviewed paper published in late 2020. (A correction of errors in two figures, which had not affected the study’s scientific conclusions, was published in January of 2021.) The study was a retrospective analysis of the health records of the approximately 3,300 children born into Dr. Thomas’ practice, covering a period of approximately ten years, comparing the health outcomes of the children (vaccinated to varying extents v. unvaccinated).

    The study concluded that the vaccinated children in the practice appeared to be significantly less healthy than the unvaccinated ones. It found that the vaccinated children saw a doctor markedly more often than their unvaccinated counterparts for a broad range of conditions. For example, compared to their unvaccinated counterparts, the vaccinated children were three to six times more likely to seek treatment related to anemia, asthma, allergies and sinusitis. Charts reflecting the study results are striking, such as one labelled Figure 5 which Dr. Thomas discussed with both Shaffer and Bigtree (Shaffer interview 32:15-33:52,36:13-39:15, HW interview 1:34:40-1:39:30).

    Perhaps the most ironic aspect of Dr. Thomas’ story is that, rather than pressure from the OMB causing him to toe the line and begin administering only the full CDC vaccine schedule, it instead caused him to have a study conducted which has yielded findings which are highly damaging to that schedule–a study that may never have been conducted in the absence of the OMB pressure. Any thought that Dr. Thomas would capitulate to the pressure was clearly misguided.

    Round 2 – The suspension of Dr. Thomas’ license has propelled him to launch a show which will provide exposure to the very medical and scientific professionals, and scientific information, that Big Pharma wants suppressed.

    If the suspension of Dr. Thomas’ license was in any way intended to derail his efforts to promote vaccine safety and choice, it was also misguided. Not working as a doctor has freed up his time and he’s clearly not using that newfound time to rest. Rather, he’s launched a new bi-weekly show called Against the Wind: Doctors and Science Under Fire which, according to the show’s website, will stand for medical freedom and informed consent by interviewing patients who have experienced vaccine injury and professionals who are “under fire” (doctors, scientists and authors). It will also focus on scientific studies ignored by the press and provide information about legal actions related to medical freedom.

    Dr. Thomas likely has the connections necessary to land interviews of many of the highly credentialled doctors and scientists currently questioning vaccine safety–the very voices that Big Pharma most wants suppressed. He was recently back on the widely-watched The HighWire where he discussed the launch of his show (Episode 201 of The HighWire 58:10-1:21:05). He also has the support of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., which the latter recently declared in an article posted on his popular website, Children’s Health Defense.

    Perhaps Dr. Thomas’ story will enlighten those attempting to suppress voices questioning vaccine safety to the fact that professional hits and pressure tactics may only spur those voices on, drawing even more attention to the scientific evidence that conflicts with Big Pharma’s “safe, necessary and effective” mantra.

    Default Re: The US Vaccine issue is more than just about "The Shots", it's the Totalitarian Tiptoe

    Paul Thomas is NOT an antivaxxer. He dared to allow his patient's parents to alter the CDC schedule for their children. He had some parents who did not want to vaccinate at all. Some parents wanted the CDC schedule and he accommodated them. The worst crime was that he had thousands of clients who were from birth unvaccinated in his practice. He was able to show scientifically that the unvaccinated children in his practice were much healthier. This is a very long article. Posting part. Please read it in honor of a real doctor.

    Oregon Medical Board Suspends Dr. Paul Thomas for Practicing Informed Consent

    On December 3, 2020, the Oregon Medical Board issued an emergency suspension order to prevent renowned pediatrician Paul Thomas, MD, from seeing his patients by stripping him of his license.

    The ostensible reason given by the board for this action against Thomas, who is affectionately known as “Dr. Paul” by his patients and peers, is that his “continued practice constitutes an immediate danger to public health”.

    Thomas is perhaps most well known as coauthor, along with Dr. Jennifer Margulis, of the book The Vaccine-Friendly Plan, which provides guidance to parents who want to protect their children from infectious diseases but have concerns about vaccines. The book is a bestseller currently showing a five-star rating from over 1,800 customer reviews at Amazon.com.

    Since 2008, Thomas has practiced pediatrics out of his clinic, Integrative Pediatrics, which is in Beaverton, Oregon, within the metropolitan area of Portland.

    The main accusation leveled at Thomas by the state medical board is that he has “breached the standard of care” in his practice by having many patients who are not vaccinated strictly according to the routine childhood schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

    The true story is that parents have flocked to Integrative Pediatrics precisely because they’ve been bullied, with the state’s approval, by pediatricians in other practices who choose to dutifully serve the bureaucrats in government by compelling parents to strictly comply with the CDC’s schedule.
    The story the medical board tells one of a reckless and “bullying” doctor who coerces his pediatric patients’ parents not to follow the CDC’s recommendations and whose gross negligence in this regard has caused harm to children and negatively impacted the health of the community.[1]

    But that’s not the true story.

    The true story is that parents have flocked to Integrative Pediatrics precisely because they’ve been bullied, with the state’s approval, by pediatricians in other practices who choose to dutifully serve the bureaucrats in government by compelling parents to strictly comply with the CDC’s schedule.

    Parents who did comply and then witnessed their children suffer harm as a result are mocked and derisively labeled “anti-vaxxers” for learning hard lessons from their firstborn children that they then apply to younger siblings by making different parenting choices. (Often, such parents respond to the derogatory label by insisting on being described as “ex-vaxxers”, but government officials and the major media institutions refuse to hear them.)

    Parents who do vaccinate their children, but not strictly according to the CDC’s schedule, are also lumped into the group monolithically labeled “the anti-vaccine movement” by apologists for the one-size-fits-all approach of public vaccine policy.

    These parents have all been told a million times that vaccines are “safe and effective”. They are well aware of the arguments in favor of vaccinations that we all hear incessantly from government officials, medical professionals, and the mainstream media.

    They are also perfectly familiar with the tale of how, in 1998, public enemy number one, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, published a fraudulent study in The Lancet, later retracted, claiming to have found an association between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism.[2] These parents know that numerous studies have since been published that failed to find an association.

    They know that, by choosing to dissent from or criticize public vaccine policy, they are placing a target on their back. They know they will be met with disapproval by other members of their own family, accused of being irresponsible parents, scolded, and scorned. They know that they will be viciously attacked by government officials and policy advocates masquerading as journalists, as well as by doctors and other members of their community.[3]

    And yet, despite the bullying and intimidation, they remain unmoved. There is one simple reason for this: they see it as their duty as responsible parents to act in their children’s best interest no matter what societal pressures are placed on them to conform with expected behavior. Consequently, they do their own research, think for themselves, draw their own conclusions, and take a stand to protect their children.

    In many cases in Portland, parents who face the scornful intimidation of a routine well-child visit at their pediatrician’s office and still insist on exercising their right to make an informed choice not to vaccinate are told that they must either comply with the CDC’s recommendations or find another pediatrician.[4]

    And, so, they go to Dr. Paul.

    With respect to the medical board’s suspension order, Paul Thomas says that he knew the moment The Vaccine-Friendly Plan was published that this day was coming. He knew at the time that, because he was challenging the CDC’s schedule and therefore the “standard of care” of the medical establishment, he would be placing a target on his back and risking his career.

    But he did it anyway.

    Why?

    The Oregon Medical Board wants us to believe it’s because he’s a villain who demonstrates reckless disregard and poses a danger to public health. The media have run with that story.

    But what the results of the study do demonstrate to a reasonable degree of certainty is that his unvaccinated patients are healthier than vaccinated children and place less of a burden on the health care system.
    However, what neither the board’s order nor the media have disclosed is that the board’s suspension order was issued just eleven days after Thomas published a study in a peer-reviewed medical journal showing that, among the children born into his practice, those who remained completely unvaccinated were diagnosed at significantly lower rates than vaccinated children for a broad range of chronic health conditions and developmental disorders.

    The difference in health outcomes was even more dramatic when Thomas and his coauthor, research scientist Dr. James Lyons-Weiler, looked at cumulative incidence of office visits for given diagnoses rather than incidence of diagnoses alone. This result strongly suggests that his vaccinated patients not only suffer from a higher rate of chronic health conditions, but also that their conditions are more severe, therefore requiring more frequent visits to his clinic.

    The study is titled “Relative Incidence of Office Visits and Cumulative Rates of Billed Diagnoses Along the Axis of Vaccination”. It was published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health on November 22, 2020.

    As Thomas and Lyons-Weiler emphasize in the study, they do not show that vaccinations are the cause of the evidently worse health outcomes among vaccinated children. But what the results of the study do demonstrate to a reasonable degree of certainty is that his unvaccinated patients are healthier than vaccinated children and place less of a burden on the health care system.[5]

    Importantly, this was data that the medical board had asked Thomas to produce to support his practice of vaccinating patients according to the principles of his “Vaccine-Friendly Plan”.

    Yet, when Thomas surmounted this challenge by obtaining Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and publishing the deidentified data comparing health outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated children, the board’s emergent response was to suspend his license until further notice “while this case remains under investigation”—and on grounds that are completely belied by the publicly available evidence.[6]

    The real story here isn’t one of a rogue doctor dismissing science and recklessly endangering his pediatric patients by bullying their parents into accepting “alternative” care. The real story is one of a rogue medical board dismissing science and recklessly endangering public health by encouraging pediatricians to bully their parents into strict compliance with the CDC’s schedule and selecting Paul Thomas, MD, to set an example to other physicians of what their punishment will be if they instead choose to respect parents’ right to informed consent.

    But that story doesn’t begin in December of 2020. To tell the true story and fully appreciate its significance, we need to go back and review the sequence of events that led Paul Thomas to this pivotal moment in his life’s journey.

    A Young “Revolutionary” in Africa

    Paul Thomas was born in Portland, Oregon, on March 27, 1957, but he spent most of his childhood growing up in southern Africa. In 1961, his family moved to what was then the British territory of Rhodesia, which was located where Zimbabwe exists today on the northern border of South Africa.

    One of four children of missionary parents, they were the only white people living in the village of Arnoldine, where there was no running water or electricity. Paul and his sister Mary were the only white kids in the village school. While living in Africa, his parents also adopted five children.

    At school, eleven-year-old Paul was expected to do the same in keeping with his duty as Head Boy. Considering the new government to be an unlawful regime, he courageously refused.
    In 1964, an opposition party named the Rhodesian Front declared independence, and its white leader, Ian Smith, was put in place as Prime Minister, which position he held until 1979. The Republic of Zimbabwe was established in the place of Rhodesia in 1980. Smith was born in Rhodesia, but his party opposed any transition to democratic rule, which would mean the end of rule by a white minority. The regime he led was never internationally recognized.

    In 1966, when it was discovered that Paul Thomas, who was nine years old, was attending the village school, he was removed to an all-white school in keeping with a policy of apartheid-like segregation. He developed two separate groups of friends: the white kids at the school and the black kids at home. At school, he excelled in academics and sports and was eventually selected as “Head Boy”, an honor given to the top male student of the oldest grade.

    In 1968, the breakaway regime held a ceremony to lower the Union Jack and raise the new Rhodesian flag in its place. At school, eleven-year-old Paul was expected to do the same in keeping with his duty as Head Boy. Considering the new government to be an unlawful regime, he courageously refused.

    Two years later, Paul began attending high school at Waterford Kamhlaba in Swaziland, which had been established in 1963 as the first multiracial school in southern Africa. Among his schoolmates were daughters of Nelson Mandela, an anti-apartheid revolutionary who would go on to serve as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.

    Although still a child, Paul Thomas, like Nelson Mandela, was deemed a threat by the powers-that-be. In 1973, at age fifteen, he was arrested by the Rhodesian government for distributing educational materials considered “revolutionary”.

    In January of 1974, Paul Thomas moved to Merced, California, to live with his aunt and uncle. He describes having experienced culture shock upon his return to the United States.

    He took a job working as an orderly in a hospital until the fall of that year, when he entered his freshman year at Kalamazoo College in Michigan, where he studied pre-medicine. In 1975, he went back to California to study at the University of the Pacific, obtaining his Bachelor of Arts degree in biology in 1979. He continued his studies there and was a teaching assistant until 1981, when he obtained his Master of Science degree in biology.

    From 1981 to 1985, he attended Dartmouth Medical School, an Ivy League institution in Hanover, New Hampshire, where he earned his degree as a Doctor of Medicine. From 1985 to 1987, Thomas completed the rigorous first two years of internship and pediatric residency at the Fresno location of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF Fresno).

    In 1986, Thomas adopted his first child, Natalie, at birth. His second child, Noah, was born the following year. From 1987 to 1988, Thomas continued his pediatrics residency at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego). In 1988, he moved back to Portland, Oregon, and worked as an attending physician at Emanuel Children’s Hospital, where he also taught residents and medical students. In 1991, he married his current wife, Maiya, and in 1993, his third child, Tucker, was born.

    That same year, Thomas joined Westside Pediatrics in Portland, a private group practice where he practiced alongside four other pediatricians.

    In 1996, Thomas’s fourth child and youngest son, Luke, was born. In 2000, they became guardians of Aja, a girl the same age as Noah. Three years later, tragedy struck when his African sister Tsitsi died of congestive heart failure at the age of 43. She had moved to New Hampshire after the death of her husband and was the mother of four children: Zanele, an eleven-year-old girl; Themba and Tare, two boys aged twelve and fifteen, respectively; and Rufaro, who had reached the age of adulthood and was attending college in another state. Paul and his wife took them in, bringing the number of children in the family to nine: three biological and six adopted.

    “My kids are fully vaccinated, by the way,” Dr. Thomas said in an interview. “So, I was still unaware of vaccine risk. This was back—you know, my youngest was born in 1996, and I just hadn’t woken up yet.”

    “I come from a background of not being aware of vaccine risk,” he explained. “I come from a background of being very well trained that vaccines are ‘safe and effective’. I believed it.”

    Parents are told to listen to doctors and trust their ostensibly superior knowledge about vaccines, but doctors don’t actually get much education about vaccines in medical school.

    As Thomas related, “When you’re in training in pediatrics, you don’t get any training on vaccines while you’re in school other than the diseases for which you vaccinate and how horrible they are and how wonderful it was that we had a vaccine. Alright, that’s the extent of the education that we got in medical school.”

    And when you get into residency, he added, “you definitely don’t have the time to research things” in depth on your own. “What you’re learning at that point is learning what to do. You learn protocols, and so when it comes to how to vaccinate, you learn what the Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC want you to do—and that’s what you do.”

    “I come from a background of being very well trained that vaccines are ‘safe and effective’. I believed it.”
    He was referring to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the trade organization that plays an important role in establishing the CDC’s recommendations as “standard of care” in pediatric practices across the country.

    “And honestly,” Thomas continued, “for a long time—and I know most pediatricians still do this—you have the idea in your mind that, ‘How could I, a lowly pediatrician who’s just in training or just out of training—how could I know more than the CDC and the Academy of Pediatrics?’ I mean, these are the best of the best who’ve risen to the top to give us this guidance, right? That’s what we think. Well, that’s what I thought.”

    That was before he became aware of the endemic corruption and conflicts of interest that exist within the medical establishment, of which government agencies like the CDC and FDA are an integral part.

    That was before he started deeply researching the scientific literature for himself, in keeping with the advice of Dave Sackett, “the father of evidence-based medicine” who once quipped, “Half of what you’ll learn in medical school will be shown to be either dead wrong or out of date within five years of your graduation; the trouble is that nobody can tell you which half—so the most important thing to learn is how to learn on your own.”[7]

    The Proven Untrustworthiness of Public Health Officials

    When it comes to the subject of vaccines, parents across the country are incessantly bombarded with the message that they should not do their own research or think for themselves but instead simply trust public health authorities to determine what is in their child’s best interests.

    Parents are told to trust “the science”, which is treated synonymously with whatever it is that public health officials proclaim. The trouble is that what government officials and the mainstream media say science says and what the science actually tells us about vaccines are two completely different things.

    This is the reality those who do their own research are well aware of, but it’s a demonstrable truth that remains completely unacknowledged within the mainstream discourse.

    The trouble is that what government officials and the mainstream media say science says and what the science actually tells us about vaccines are two completely different things.
    Sometimes the cognitive dissonance within the medical establishment manifests itself glaringly. For instance, while government officials insist on one hand that vaccines are “safe and effective”, it administrates a program designed to effectively shift the financial burden for vaccine injuries away from the pharmaceutical industry and onto the taxpaying consumers.

    This came about in the 1980s, while Thomas was attending medical school. Vaccine injury lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies were piling up, particularly for the diphtheria, tetanus, and whole-cell pertussis (DTP) vaccine and, to a lesser extent, the oral polio vaccine (OPV), which was responsible for causing every domestic case of paralytic polio in the US after 1979.[8]

    Even though the risk of getting polio from the vaccine had become greater than the risk from the wild virus, and even though an alternative inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) was available, the FDA in 1984 declared that “any possible doubts, whether or not well founded, about the safety of the vaccine cannot be allowed to exist in view of the need to assure that the vaccine will continue to be used to the maximum extent consistent with the nation’s public health objectives.”[9] (Emphasis added.)

    That neatly illustrates the attitude of public health officials today with regard to the risks of vaccination: when the policy goal of achieving high vaccination rates conflicts with individuals’ personal best interests and public health, it is the policy goal that takes precedence.

    The way the New York Times tells the story, “anti-vaccination” groups began appearing in the country because parents saw a documentary aired by NBC in 1982 called DPT: Vaccine Roulette, which was “dangerously inaccurate” and falsely “purported” an association between the vaccine—variably abbreviated DTP, DPT, or DTwP—and “seizures”. Due to the irrational and misinformed fears of parents who rejected the science, companies “stopped making vaccines” because it wasn’t worth “the corporate headache.”[10]

    The reality is that parents who were concerned about the safety of the DTP vaccine were not the parents who were ignoring the science but the ones paying attention to it.

    Far from their concerns being ungrounded and stories of vaccine injuries being mere “anecdotes”, research was showing that the DTP vaccine was indeed associated with serious harms. The year prior to the release of that documentary, for example, a major study was published in the British Medical Journal (now The BMJ) that found a statistically significant association between the vaccine and “serious neurological illness” such as seizures and encephalopathy.[11]

    Parents who had vaccinated their children because they were told it was “safe and effective” only to witness their children suffer serious adverse events and long-term harms rightly began questioning the public relations slogan, looking into the science for themselves, and learning the truth that the vaccine had never been adequately tested for safety and was the subject of considerable controversy within the scientific community.[12]

    Today, it is uncontroversial that the vaccine was highly “reactogenic” and caused “significantly” more adverse reactions than the vaccine it was replaced with, which includes an acellular rather than a whole-cell pertussis component (abbreviated DTaP). As a systematic review published in the journal Vaccine in 2018 points out, the whole-cell vaccine was “crude” by comparison, and the switch was “warranted” by the reports of the vaccine causing relatively rare but serious injuries.[13]

    While the DTP vaccine was phased out in the US and other developed countries, it continues to be widely used in the developing world. The assumption made by public health officials, in the US and elsewhere, has been that by reducing incidence of the three target diseases, the vaccine will reduce childhood deaths. The scientific evidence, however, does not support that assumption.

    For one, the vaccine had no obvious impact on the population-adjusted mortality rate from pertussis in the US, which had already been declining since well before the vaccine came into widespread use, as can be seen in the following graph created from the CDC’s data.[14]

    pertussis mortality before the vaccine
    In fact, this is true for infectious diseases in general. As noted in the AAP’s journal Pediatrics in a summary of vital statistics published in 2000, “vaccination does not account for the impressive declines in mortality” witnessed during the twentieth century. In fact, “nearly 90% of the decline in infectious disease mortality among US children occurred before 1940”, before most vaccines were available to help explain it.[15]

    Furthermore, even if a vaccine is effective at reducing mortality from the target disease, it doesn’t necessarily follow that it will reduce overall mortality. This is because vaccines can have what are termed in the literature as “non-specific effects”, meaning long-term effects other than those intended or anticipated and distinguished from acute adverse events that are temporally associated with vaccination.

    Contrary to the assumption made by public health officials when introducing the DTP vaccine, studies done in recent decades have found it to be associated with an increased rate of childhood mortality.

    As a study published in the Lancet journal EBioMedicine found, “DTP was associated with a 5-fold high mortality than being unvaccinated.”

    As its authors remarked, “It should be of concern that the effect of routine vaccination on all-cause mortality was not tested in randomized trials. All currently available evidence suggests that DTP vaccine may kill more children from other causes than it saves from diphtheria, tetanus, or pertussis. Though a vaccine protects children against the target disease it may simultaneously increase susceptibility to unrelated infections.”[16]

    As the world’s top researchers into the non-specific effects of vaccines noted in a BMJ article published in January 2020, the association between the DTP vaccine and increased childhood mortality is a consistent finding and is particularly pronounced among girls.[17]

    “All currently available evidence suggests that DTP vaccine may kill more children from other causes than it saves from diphtheria, tetanus, or pertussis.”
    The concern about vaccine trials not looking at long-term health outcomes, including mortality, is not limited to the DTP vaccine. None of the vaccines currently recommended by the CDC underwent randomized, placebo-controlled trials comparing long-term health outcomes, including all-cause mortality, between children who received the vaccine and children who did not.

    The injury lawsuits against DTP manufacturers in the early 1980s incentivized the development of a less reactogenic product, which ultimately led to the DTP vaccine being phased out and replaced with the DTaP vaccine.

    However, the US government had a solution in mind other than the development of safer and more effective means of reducing the burden of infectious disease. In fact, the government intervened in the market to effectively eliminate that key incentive for manufacturers to do so.

    In 1986, the year that Paul Thomas adopted his first child, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act was passed into law. Because vaccine manufacturers were literally going out of business due to vaccine injury lawsuits and the increasing parental awareness that the safety studies conducted for licensure purposes were totally inadequate, the supply of vaccines was becoming unstable.

    Complicating matters even further for the pharmaceutical companies was their difficulty in obtaining liability insurance due to the insurance industry’s unwillingness to take on the risk.

    Consequently, the public health policy goal of maintaining or increasing vaccination rates was threatened. To resolve that threat to public policy, the law granted broad legal immunity to manufacturers of vaccines recommended by the CDC for routine use in children. It also established the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), which is funded by an excise tax on every vaccine dose administered.

    The effect of the law is thus to shift the financial burden for vaccine injuries away from the pharmaceutical companies and onto the consumers—including those whose children are injured by vaccines.[18]

    In 2011, the US Supreme Court upheld legal immunity for Big Pharma, judging that the “unavoidability” of vaccine injuries establishes “a complete defense” against lawsuits, provided that the vaccine was prepared according to specifications and accompanied with adequate warnings, which are found in the manufacturer’s package inserts. In the Court’s judgment, uniquely for the vaccine industry, “design defects” are “not a basis for liability.”[19]

    Policymakers characterized the law as being intended to benefit the public. That is certainly arguable, but what is incontrovertible is that it greatly benefited the pharmaceutical industry. The vaccine manufacturers were back in business, and the CDC continued adding an increasing number of vaccines to its routine childhood schedule throughout the late 1980s and 1990s.

    Helping the profit margins of the pharmaceutical companies even further was the artificial demand created by state laws mandating the use of their products as a requirement for school entry.

    The effect of the law is thus to shift the financial burden for vaccine injuries away from the pharmaceutical companies and onto the consumers—including those whose children are injured by vaccines.
    Included in many of those vaccines was a preservative called “thimerosal”, which by weight is about half ethylmercury. While public health officials, the AAP, and the broader medical community continued to insist to parents that the CDC’s recommended vaccines were “safe and effective”, nobody had bothered to consider the long-term effects on children from the cumulative exposures to mercury they were receiving by following the CDC’s schedule.

    When the FDA finally got around to doing so, it was essentially by accident. In 1997, Congress passed the FDA Modernization Act, which included a provision requiring the FDA to compile a list of mercury-containing drugs on the market and the quantities of mercury contained in them. The FDA queried the industry, and the resulting list of products included numerous vaccines on the CDC’s schedule.[20]

    When researchers at the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) did the calculations in 1999, they found that the CDC’s schedule was exposing infants to cumulative levels of mercury that exceeded the government’s own safety guidelines. The finding that the levels exceeded the guidelines of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was published by FDA researchers in the AAP’s journal Pediatrics in 2001.[21]

    Before it became public, health officials were panicked. The conundrum they were facing was elucidated in an email from Peter Patriarca, the director of the FDA’s Division of Viral Products, to Martin Meyers, the acting director of the CDC’s National Vaccine Program Office. If they were to call for the removal of thimerosal from vaccines, it would “raise questions about FDA being ‘asleep at the switch’ for decades”. It would also “raise questions about various advisory bodies regarding aggressive recommendations for use.”

    People would naturally ask, “What took the FDA so long to do the calculations? Why didn’t CDC and the advisory bodies do these calculations when they rapidly expanded the childhood immunization schedule?”[22]

    At the same time, public health officials couldn’t very well do nothing because, obviously, if they insisted that it was “safe” to continue exposing infants to such alarmingly high levels of mercury, it would also deservedly damage their credibility.

    This concern was privately expressed by FDA researcher Leslie K. Ball, the lead author of the Pediatrics study, who observed that “toxicologists seemed reluctant to state any Hg [mercury] was ‘safe’”, which opened government health officials to the criticism that they were “arbitrarily designating a certain level as acceptable when there continues to be so much uncertainty about the science in this area.”[23]

    In July 1999, the announcement was made that thimerosal would be phased out of most childhood vaccines, with manufacturers switching from multi-dose vials, for which they are required by the FDA to include the preservative, to single-dose vials.[24] Today, thimerosal is still used in multi-dose vials of influenza vaccine, which the CDC recommends to be taken annually by everyone aged six months and up, including pregnant women.

    To this day, the CDC self-contradictorily claims that its removal was simply “a precautionary measure”, and that there’s “no evidence of harm” from it. The CDC boldly asserts that ethylmercury from vaccines is “readily eliminated” from the body and so is “very safe”.[25]

    That claim, however, is belied by its own cited sources. A PDF document linked to on that page of the CDC’s website cites six observational studies and an Institute of Medicine (IOM) review published in 2004 that acknowledged the limitations of relying on observational studies in the absence of long-term randomized trials, described thimerosal as a “known neurotoxin”, and acknowledged that ethylmercury from vaccines “accumulates in the brain” and “can injure the nervous system.”[26]

    The CDC boldly asserts that ethylmercury from vaccines is “readily eliminated” from the body and so is “very safe”. That claim, however, is belied by its own cited sources.
    On a Frequently Asked Questions webpage about thimerosal, the CDC says the same thing about the mercury in vaccines being “safe”. That page links to another page providing a list of references.[27] The very first one is the 2001 Pediatrics study admitting that the CDC was responsible for exposing children to levels of mercury exceeding safety guidelines and whose lead author privately worried that it would be misleading to say it was “safe” given the scientific uncertainties.

    In the published study, the researchers acknowledged that ethylmercury is toxic even at low doses and that it was possible that the exposure from vaccines could cause neurodevelopmental abnormalities in children.[28]

    The second study the CDC cites on that page to support its claim that the mercury in vaccines is “safe” is a study published in Environmental Health Perspectives in 2005, which showed that ethylmercury is more readily eliminated from the blood but more persistent in the brain than methylmercury.

    The authors also expressed concern that the toxicological properties of ethylmercury had not been sufficiently studied, requiring the government to adopt the scientifically invalid practice of basing its risk assessments instead on the toxicology of methylmercury.

    They expressed the further concern that mercury in the brain was associated with “an active neuroinflammatory process” that had in turn been “demonstrated in brains of autistic patients”.

    Far from concluding that the mercury in vaccines is safe, they emphasized that studies were “urgently needed” to determine “the potential developmental effects of immunization with thimerosal-containing vaccines in newborns and infants.”[29]

    These are studies that the CDC cites to try to support its claims, to say nothing of studies that the CDC simply ignores. Naturally, to support the assertion that the mercury in vaccines is “safe” and that there’s “no evidence” of toxicity at levels children are exposed to from the schedule, the CDC does not cite, for example, a review on thimerosal published in Neurochemical Research in 2011 observing that all the studies reviewed had found evidence of neurotoxicity, which together constituted “unequivocal evidence” that ethylmercury “can affect neural tissues and functions” at “low doses” relevant to vaccines, making it “a likely risk factor for neurodevelopmental delays”.

    Furthermore, no studies had been done to examine the synergistic toxicity of thimerosal being administered concomitantly with vaccines containing aluminum adjuvants, “which are also neurotoxic.”

    Given what is known from the available data, “it is reasonable to expect biological consequences in terms of neurodevelopment in susceptible infants.” Studies to evaluate the health consequences of continued use of thimerosal in vaccines, including in developing countries, were “urgently” needed, and its use “should be reconsidered by public health authorities, especially in those vaccines intended for pregnant women and children.”[30]

    It would be superfluous to list more examples of how the CDC willfully deceives the public about the safety of vaccines.

    Unbeknownst to Paul Thomas at the time, what many parents across the country had been discovering for themselves, oftentimes painfully, is that public health officials and other “experts” entrusted with determining the “standards of care” by which doctors practice medicine are demonstrably unworthy of our trust.

    “We just didn’t realize,” Thomas explained, with respect to his time spent in medical school and pediatric residency, “that to rise to the top and sit on the committees that make the recommendations, you absolutely have to follow and say the right things. I mean, if you ever have anything in your background that questions vaccine safety or vaccine effectiveness, you don’t get to move up. So it’s a process that just pulls together the best speakers for the slogan—I mean the marketing slogan of ‘safe and effective.’”

    To arrive at where he is at today in terms of knowledge, Thomas had to be willing to question everything he had ever learned about vaccines. More than that, as a pediatrician, he had to be willing to acknowledge the possibility that something he was doing to children with the intent of helping them was instead causing them harm.

    This is evidently a rare quality among doctors, and Dr. Thomas’s experience with the Oregon Medical Board goes some way toward helping to explain why.

    When it comes to the topic of vaccines, the media go so far as to dismiss any talk of “medical malfeasance, coverups, and corruption” as “misinformation” and “conspiracy theory”. Serious discussion about public vaccine policy in the mainstream media is practically nonexistent.[31]

    Yet the fact that endemic corruption exists within the medical establishment is not at all controversial within the scientific community. As a very widely cited paper published in PLOS Medicine in 2005 noted, conflicts of interest in medical research are “very common”. Rather than majority expert opinion representing scientific truths, study findings “may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias.”

    Scientists, policymakers, and medical practitioners are blinded by their own confirmation bias, grasping onto whatever information supports their preexisting beliefs while ignoring whatever does not. The peer-review process of medical journals served frequently “to perpetuate false dogma”. Furthermore, “empirical evidence on expert opinion shows that it is extremely unreliable.”[32]

    In a New York Review of Books article in 2004, The Lancet editor Richard Horton acknowledged that peer-reviewed journals had “devolved into information-laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry.”[33]

    In the same magazine in 2009, New England Journal of Medicine editor Marcia Angell wrote, “It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines.”[34]

    In a Lancet article published in 2015, Horton again lamented how “science has taken a turn towards darkness”, in which “poor methods” were accepted because they “get results”. “The apparent endemicity of bad research behaviour”, he wrote, “is alarming. In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world. Or they retrofit hypotheses to fit their data. Journal editors deserve their fair share of criticism too. We aid and abet the worst behaviours.”[35]

    “To serve its interests,” a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Investigation in 2013 concluded, “the industry masterfully influences evidence base production, evidence synthesis, understanding of harms issues, cost-effectiveness evaluations, clinical practice guidelines and healthcare professional education and also exerts direct influences on professional decisions and health consumers.”[36] (Emphasis added.)

    A good example of how the industry exerts influence on government policymaking is provided by the HPV vaccine. As detailed in a paper published in the American Journal of Public Health in 2012, “Merck promoted school-entry mandate legislation by serving as an information resource, lobbying legislators, drafting legislation, mobilizing female legislators and physician organizations, conducting consumer marketing campaigns, and filling gaps in access to the vaccine. Legislators relied heavily on Merck for scientific information.”[37]

    The CDC’s role in deceiving the public about the science is acknowledged in the published literature, too. Referring to a CDC document outlining the rationale for its universal flu shot recommendation, a systematic review of the scientific evidence published in 2010 blasted policymakers for deliberately mischaracterizing the science to support its policy. The review authors remarked how policymakers within the CDC “do not weight interpretation by quality of the evidence, but quote anything that supports their theory.”[38]

    In a BMJ article published in 2015, associate editor Jeanne Lenzer observed how the CDC includes a disclaimer with its recommendations that it has no financial interests or other relationships with the manufacturers of commercial products, but how that isn’t true because the CDC in fact receives millions of dollars in funding from the pharmaceutical industry through an organization called the CDC Foundation.[39]

    In its own words, the CDC Foundation is “an independent nonprofit and the sole entity created by Congress to mobilize philanthropic and private-sector resources to support the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s critical health protection work.”[40] The foundation’s partners include pharmaceutical companies AstraZeneca, Bayer, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Novartis AG, Novavax, Sanofi Pasteur, and Wyeth, among a long list of others.[41]

    “It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines.”
    The US Congress has also acknowledged that parents’ increasing lack of trust in public health officials is not without just cause.

    In a June 2000 report, the House of Representatives’ Committee on Government Reform excoriated the CDC and FDA for endemic conflicts of interest. At the CDC, waivers from conflict-of-interest rules were routinely granted to every member of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The Chairman of the committee had owned shares of stock in the pharmaceutical giant Merck, which manufactures numerous vaccines recommended by the CDC.

    Of the eight committee members who voted to approve guidelines for the rotavirus vaccine in June 1998, half “had financial ties to pharmaceutical companies that were developing different versions of the vaccine.” Of the five members of the FDA advisory committee who voted to approve the rotavirus vaccine in December 1997, three likewise had financial ties to companies developing different versions of the vaccine.

    A particularly salient example of the corruption is Dr. Paul Offit, who joined the CDC’s advisory committee in October 1998 and voted three times in favor on decisions related to the rotavirus vaccine, including the vote to add it to the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, which makes vaccines available at no cost to low-income families through Medicaid. Concurrently, Offit shared ownership with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) of a patent for the rotavirus vaccine being developed under a grant from Merck.[42]

    Offit sat on the CDC committee until June 2003. Merck’s rotavirus vaccine was licensed in 2006 under the trademark RotaTeq. The hospital sold its stake in the patent in 2008 for $182 million. Offit profited handsomely, publicly acknowledging that the deal made him “several million dollars, a lot of money”. As he told Newsweek, the “small percentage” he received of the total was “like winning the lottery.”[43]

    Offit also happens to be one of the media’s go-to experts on vaccines. In 2015, he wrote an op-ed in the New York Times accusing parents who choose not to vaccinate of child abuse on the grounds that Jesus, were he walking on Earth with us today, would advocate forcibly vaccinating children against their parents’ will.[44]

    The first FDA-licensed rotavirus vaccine that the CDC recommended for routine use in children was Wyeth’s RotaShield. That vaccine was withdrawn from the market in 1999 because it was found to be causing intussusception, an often excruciating and potentially fatal condition in which part of the intestine telescopes in on itself. The FDA had approved RotaShield as “safe” despite clinical trials having shown an increased incidence of intussusception in vaccinated infants.[45]

    With no shortage of irony, government health officials uphold the story of RotaShield as a shining example of how the bureaucracies charged with ensuring vaccine safety are highly effective at doing so.
    This finding was dismissed as “probably due to chance” by the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC)—an unsurprising judgment given the financial conflicts of interests of most of its members.

    The US government itself, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), developed, patented, and licensed technology to Wyeth for use in its rotavirus vaccine.[46] Another example of a pharmaceutical product for which the government patented and licensed technology is Merck’s human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.[47]

    Tellingly, when the FDA instructed Wyeth on which specific adverse events it should focus in postmarketing safety studies, the risk of intussusception was not among them. Researchers monitoring public postmarketing surveillance data, however, nevertheless picked up on reports of the adverse event, and studies were conducted that confirmed the association, which the CDC acknowledged as “a strong causal relationship”.

    With no shortage of irony, government health officials uphold the story of RotaShield as a shining example of how the bureaucracies charged with ensuring vaccine safety are highly effective at doing so.[48]

    Just as tellingly, when the CDC’s advisory committee voted to withdraw its recommendation for routine use of RotaShield, Paul Offit suddenly found a conscience and abstained on the grounds that there would be “a perception of conflict” for him to vote against Wyeth’s product while he was working on a competitor’s vaccine.[49]

    Paul Offit is currently a member of the FDA’s vaccine advisory committee responsible for recommending COVID-19 vaccines to be authorized for emergency use while prelicensure trials remain underway.[50]

    A Senate report in June 2007 blasted the CDC for seeking ever-increasing levels of funding year after year but having little to show for its exorbitant spending in the way of improved public health. Part of the problem was the “revolving door” by which CDC officials or contractors find lucrative ways to make their CDC connections pay off in the private sector. Exemplifying this problem was the CDC Director herself, Julie Gerberding, under whose leadership bonuses for those in management increased dramatically, including a tenfold rise in the share of premium bonuses given to those within her own office.[51]

    Gerberding left her CDC job in 2009 and joined Merck in 2010 as president of its $5 billion global vaccine division. Merck’s Chief Executive Officer understandably described her as an “the ideal choice”.[52] In 2015, she sold shares of Merck worth over $2.3 million.[53] She is presently the chief patient officer and executive vice president of the company. Among her responsibilities is “strategic communications”, which is essentially to say that she is now in charge of Merck’s propaganda efforts.[54]

    A 2009 report from the Office of the Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services, under which both the CDC and FDA operate, found that there was “a systemic lack of oversight” at the CDC with its ethics program for special government employees—such as the people who sit on its vaccine advisory committee. Nearly all financial disclosure forms for such employees were completed improperly. Only 3 percent of forms contained no omissions, and 64 percent of employees with one or more omissions were found to have potential conflicts of interest that the CDC had either failed to identify or failed to resolve.[55]

    In January 2018, CDC Director Brenda Fitzgerald was forced to resign after it was reported that she had purchased tens of thousands of dollars in corporate stocks, including shares in a global tobacco giant and in Merck.[56]

    In June 2019, vaccine manufacturer Pfizer announced that former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb had joined its board. Known for having pushed for reforms under the Donald Trump administration to hasten the drug-approval process, Gottlieb remarked that joining Pfizer “uniquely positioned” him to advance “public health”—the usual euphemism for the pharmaceutical industry’s financial interests.[57]

    Just as the government has an incestuous relationship with and serves the interests of the pharmaceutical industry, so, too, does the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). As CBS News reported in 2008, “The vaccine industry gives millions to the Academy of Pediatrics for conferences, grants, medical education classes and even helped build their headquarters.”[58]

    As the 2007 Senate report noted, the CDC has manifestly failed in its ostensible mission to better public health. A study published in 2011 in Academic Pediatrics estimated that at least 43 percent of children had at least one chronic health condition. When children who were overweight, obese, or at risk for developmental delays were included, the figure rose to 54 percent.[59]

    Among the conditions that have increased in prevalence are a broad range of autoimmune diseases, which is attributed to environmental factors that the CDC says it is at a loss to identify.[60]

    Perhaps it is not really such a great mystery, given the aggressive use in developing infants and toddlers of pharmaceutical products specifically intended to permanently alter the functioning of their immune system. cont. here

    Default Re: The US Vaccine issue is more than just about "The Shots", it's the Totalitarian Tiptoe

    Before too much longer, I am afraid many people will be horrified by how their faith in the medical industrial complex led to personal disaster. This moment in history is so perilous, but it is making people open their eyes and MAYBE the whole vaxx industry may topple. That is my prayer! The comments here are telling:



    I am certain toxins cause autism. I know now that what we call public health is an inversion of health. People are suffering. I pray for the end of suffering.

    Quote I Have Been Through This Before
    Don’t wear a mask; you must wear a mask. Buy a pulse oximeter. Stock up on Tylenol, vitamin D, Pepcid. Whisper so you don’t spit. Stand six feet from others—no, 10. Wear gloves. Wear two masks! Open the windows. Close the schools. The dizzying madness of COVID, and the reliance on gurulike experts, has been eerily familiar.

    OCTOBER 27, 2021


    In April 1939—as the result of a backdoor bribe—a 35-year-old lumber baron named Bruno Bettelheim was released from the Buchenwald concentration camp on the condition that he leave Germany and never return.

    In addition to running his family’s sawmills, Bettelheim had earned a degree in art history and, like many Austrians of the time, dabbled in psychoanalysis and read a bit of Freud. His wife had once cared for an emotionally disturbed child in their home. When he arrived as a refugee in the U.S. he used these random details to remake himself as an expert in human behavior. A small man with a striking Viennese accent and manner, he believed he had valuable psychological insights from the 11 months he’d spent inside Dachau and Buchenwald.

    Back in ’38, when Bettelheim was imprisoned, these were primarily work camps where prisoners were divided, stripped of their possessions, then beaten and herded like animals by the guards. Bettelheim noted that the men most damaged by alienation and violence, the ones who gave up hope, had similar affect: They avoided eye contact, rocked and muttered, and gazed at distant objects. He felt he had witnessed what it takes to break a person’s mind.

    Bettelheim’s first job in the United States was as research assistant at the University of Chicago, studying high school art curricula. He divorced his wife (who had also emigrated) and taught briefly. In 1943, he published a paper titled “Individual and Mass Behavior in Extreme Situations,” claiming to have studied more than 1,500 concentration camp prisoners. Legendary General and future President Dwight D. Eisenhower praised the work.

    Overnight, Bettelheim became a “doctor” and a star.

    On the strength of that paper, his [false] claim to have worked with Sigmund Freud, and his status as an intellectual and refugee from Hitler’s Germany, Bettelheim was made full professor of psychology and director of the Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School for emotionally disturbed children at the University of Chicago in 1944.

    Once established at the school, he won a grant from the Ford Foundation to start a program specifically for autistic children. Parents from around the country sought his help for their children who were mute, withdrawn, unable to follow directions, prone to “stimming” (gazing at an object or blinking rapidly into light), self-harming, or failing to toilet train.

    In the mid-’50s Bettelheim developed a new theory of autism, based on his 1943 paper and the passing remark of a researcher named Leo Kanner who said autistic children “never defrost”: the “refrigerator mother.”

    Bad parenting—like imprisonment in a Nazi work camp—was an “extreme situation,” Bettelheim said. He characterized the mothers of children in his program as cold, distant, abusive and uncaring, like domestic SS guards. Though no studies were done to back up this hypothesis, his theory that rejecting mothers cause autism became the accepted science of the time.

    In his 1967 book The Empty Fortress, Bettelheim wrote, “Infants, if totally deserted by humans before they have developed enough to shift for themselves, will die. And if their physical care is enough for survival but they are deserted emotionally, or are pushed beyond their capacity to cope, they will become autistic.”

    Dr. Bettelheim enjoyed decades as a media darling, appearing on television—he was a regular on The Dick Cavett Show—and serving as top expert for newspapers such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, which credited him with “originating many of the techniques and principles of modern child psychiatry.” Woody Allen gave the pop psychiatrist a cameo, as himself, in the film Zelig. Commonweal magazine published an article titled “The Holy Work of Bruno Bettelheim.” He wrote a series of world-famous bestselling books.

    The refrigerator-mother theory of autism became gospel, not just among psychiatrists but in the zeitgeist. It made sense and was easy to grasp. Better, it turned a mysterious and heartbreaking condition into a simple problem of who was to blame. People rallied behind the idea that cold mothers caused autism because it gave them comfort. Mothers whose children developed normally knew it was because they were “good.” Fathers and other relatives of autistic children were off the hook.

    Even desperate “bad” mothers embraced the idea, believing that if they could fix themselves their children would be cured. Finally, an answer: They needed to sign up for intense psychotherapy and send their autistic children to live with other families or in residential programs. Some mothers were advised to re-home their healthy children as well, lest their “refrigerator” qualities leak over and spoil another young mind. Many complied.

    Occasionally families would reject the diagnosis and their children would be taken by force. Reports were made, psychiatric teams mobilized. They showed up at the homes of autistic children, packed their bags and removed them, while guards held off the screaming, protesting mothers who’d been deemed unsuitable. Bettelheim called this process “parentectomy,” a sad but necessary practice that would help autistic kids be cured. Many were taken to the Orthogenic School he ran, where they stayed for up to a dozen years.

    It wasn’t until 1990—after Bettelheim’s death by suicide at 86—that residents and staff from the school began talking about his rages, name calling, constant lying, and abuse.

    “I would characterize the atmosphere at the Orthogenic School, at that time, as the beginnings of a cult, with Dr. B. as the cult leader,” wrote a former counselor, W.B., in a letter to the Chicago Reader in July 1990.

    But by that point, almost 50 years of damage had been done, during which any clinician who came up with a different diagnosis or questioned Bettelheim’s practices suffered immediate and devastating professional consequences. “In the Orthogenic School,” psychiatrist Richard Kaufman told the Chicago Tribune. “Bettelheim’s mind supplanted your own.”

    I was 23 when Bruno Bettelheim—a man I’d never heard of—took his own life. The following year, in 1991, my 3 1/2-year-old son, Andrew, lost language. One day he could talk; the next he was yodeling in a strange high-pitched voice, flicking the lights on and off, and staring for hours as he spun a single wheel on a toy car.

    My then-husband and I were too young and poor to have a child—much less two. Our 1-year-old had respiratory problems and asthma, which consumed time and money. We were on the edge, barely able to pay our bills and buy macaroni and cheese. It was just dawning on me that I’d married a dreamy, quixotic guy who drank when he was troubled and couldn’t hold down a job.

    That’s what county social workers saw when they were called to assess Andrew, following his meltdown at our public library. A tiny house, a fraying marriage, two depleted parents in cheap clothes. It was winter on the Iron Range, where advances in psychology took some time to travel. The experts—a stoic North Country man-and-woman team—decided we were the cause.

    They questioned us separately and casually brought up the idea of temporary foster care. We protested and were told we could keep the boys but only if we submitted to frequent visits and attended parenting classes twice weekly, which we gladly did.

    While we were being taught how to impose consequences and establish routine, Andrew and his brother were taken to a child care room where teachers helped them sing, play, and socialize. At first Andrew seemed to improve, brightening and even talking a bit, but then he regressed again, a pattern we’d see repeat on a loop for the rest of his life.

    When an older relative came to visit us in spring she took one look at my 4-year-old sitting in the corner, staring at his hand. “You’ve ruined that beautiful child,” she said, her face tense with fury. “You and your careless life. Ruined him. Aren’t you ashamed?”

    We eventually moved to Minneapolis, where treatments were supposedly more advanced. At 5, Andrew was diagnosed with autism and enrolled in a program that involved rocking boards, chewy toys and roughing his skin with surgical brushes three times a day.

    We blamed ourselves for our son’s problems and most of the new theories did, too. His autism was because we’d had him vaccinated. Because we fed him wheat or dairy or corn. Because we hadn’t employed a team of workers to have constant “floor time” with him (the so-called Son Rise cure) or apply behavioral techniques according to the Lovaas method, beloved not only by late ’90s autism parents but also by conversion therapy folks.

    Each new wave was certain: The approaches to autism that had come before were barbaric and uninformed, but this most recent breakthrough was the one clear truth. Science had spoken. Over and over for a dozen years.

    We were heartbroken each time a treatment failed—and guilty because without fail, someone would insist we hadn’t tried hard enough. Sure, we’d gone gluten-free, but had we cleansed with hyperbaric oxygen? Behavioral training worked, but only if you did it 18 hours a day. Why hadn’t we taken a second mortgage and flown to the Catskills for a workshop at the Son-Rise Institute?

    Just shy of his 36th birthday my then-husband gave in and began drinking in earnest. He lost his job and grew dark and silent. One day he apologized, hugged us all, got in his truck, and drove away.

    Now single, I rode the waves of hope and despair alone. There were periods of clarity when I was sure Andrew was breaking through. Adolescence was oddly hopeful; he spoke haltingly but started playing tournament chess and riding a bike. It seemed hormones might bring him out of “childhood” autism—as they do, miraculously, in a tiny number of boys.

    Years passed, during which my sons grew closer and more alike. Once someone asked me, “Which is the autistic one?” But along with better engagement, social skills, and speech, Andrew had chronic anxiety. When he started high school, a doctor friend at the university where I was teaching suggested Andrew be “seen.”

    Around the same time there was a surge in ads for antidepressants on TV. Psychiatrists quit asking questions and plumbing the unconscious mind, becoming like tea leaf readers in white coats who studied blood test results but never looked their patients in the eyes. I took my son to such a person, who prescribed Lexapro.

    This was the moment Bettelheim’s work was entirely spurned by a new group of experts who neatly whipsawed the other direction. They changed positions but held onto the religiosity. Nature was in, nurture was out. Brain chemistry became the only thing that mattered. Everything we’d done during Andrew’s childhood—talk therapy, sensory integration, cross-patterning, behavior training, biofeedback—they rejected as quackery.

    Andrew responded oddly to Lexapro, as he did to so many things, becoming obsessive and manic, wandering all night. The boy’s father had resurfaced with a new wife who happened to work for a pharmaceutical company. I, too, was recently remarried. The four of us met to discuss the situation and I was relieved to have help for the first time in years.

    But soon we were at odds: My husband, John, and I wanted to take Andrew off the Lexapro; but my ex and his wife insisted he really needed something stronger. When we finally saw the autism specialist we’d spent six months waitlisted for, he was entirely on their side.

    “Your son is suffering from a neurological disease and I won’t permit you to withhold medication that will help him,” the doctor said, looming just like those North Country social workers. “I would call that abuse.”

    He put Andrew on Abilify, an “atypical” anti-psychotic that ran commercials during the news. John and I asked for a trial of something milder, or more tested, but the psychiatrist insisted older therapies were inferior and wouldn’t work. Weeks later my son turned 18 and I lost the power to control his medical decisions. I watched as the doctor and my ex-husband, both large imposing men, insisted he take the drug.

    It’s possible Andrew developed psychosis at exactly the same time he began taking psychiatric drugs, that my ex and the doctor were right and I was wrong. It’s also possible that his brain was fragile and the drugs that were loaded into it (over time, his doctor added Risperdal and a little Depakote) melted his circuitry, causing decompensation.

    But each time I raised the question, I was lectured. Andrew should have been medicated earlier; I’d been negligent; the doctors were playing catch-up. It would take at least three months to see benefits, possibly six. I must not think of taking him off because withdrawal was dangerous. Two doctors threatened to report me for mistreatment of a vulnerable adult if I tried. I wrote an article for a local magazine telling our story and questioning the widespread use of anti-psychotics. A University of Minnesota psychiatrist, director of autism services, submitted a scathing rebuttal calling me an anti-science nut.

    ‘You’ve ruined that beautiful child,’ she said, her face tense with fury. ‘You and your careless life. Ruined him. Aren’t you ashamed?’

    Meanwhile, Andrew went from a shy, smart, autistic teenager to a stuporous man who gained 100 pounds and erupted in rage. My ex and his wife faded away around the time a county worker told a judge our son was out of control and the state of Minnesota mandated electroshock (this was 2011, and common practice). John and I sued and ended up with a court-appointed guardian who was granted all powers of control over Andrew’s life and later was indicted for doping his clients and stealing from them.

    Again we went to court and this time we won. In 2014, John became Andrew’s legal guardian and began the process of detoxing him from the most dangerous medications. For two years we lived quietly, Andrew in an apartment complex for adults with autism, us in a small house we planned to will to him and his brother, who had asked to be successor guardian. Every Sunday, we had dinner together and took a walk.

    Andrew had grown into himself, resigned and weary. No longer angry, he lived in easy silence and aged precipitously, appearing decades older. When we went out, he and I, people assumed he was my husband—this tall, grave, balding man.

    On a dazzling Friday morning in November 2016, Andrew was found dead on the floor of his living room. John got the call and took me to a park near our house, awash with crisp red and orange leaves, to tell me the news. Fall has filled me with dread ever since.

    My son was 28 years old when he died. An autopsy was performed but no official cause of death was found. Traditional methods of suicide were ruled out. Yet he’d told me at our last dinner that there was no happiness for him in this world—seeming clearer of mind than he had in years. He’d wiped his phone and computer and erased his music from Spotify.

    When we cleaned out his apartment there was a pile of foil-wrapped pharmaceuticals in the back of a drawer. But the coroner’s report showed low/normal levels of only two drugs in his blood—neither withdrawal nor overdose. My personal explanation is that he was tired of being controlled by the fickle czars of autism and he was just done.

    The time between late 2016 and 2019 is mostly lost to me. Grief, it turns out, doesn’t feel like sadness. It’s more like terror, being chased through oily blackness. My husband, younger son and I isolated. We drank. We drove, looking for Andrew. He’d loved mountains: South Dakota, Colorado, Oregon. We swore we felt him in the trees.

    We’d started to function again, slowly, by late ’19. In January ’20 we traveled to Bellevue, Washington, for a conference where John was speaking. I fell ill soon after with a fever and breathless cough I couldn’t shake for six weeks. This friend of ours—a corporate lawyer with business in China—raised an eyebrow and told us a pandemic was coming. All around there was tension, something uncontrolled and wicked in the air.

    John is an internet security expert with a background in mathematics. He’ll often talk about the “shape” of a problem. This is its outline, its gestalt. He envisions it like dots on a chart, or waves on a graph. I see holographic images—the shape of an ambitious refugee, white coats and flimflam men, glimmering under the figures we see today. In March, April, May, familiar shapes began to emerge.

    Suddenly there emerged a cadre of pandemic experts who recommended—then quickly required—extreme and unprecedented things. People shouldn’t see their parents, visit friends, hold funerals or hug. We could never shake hands again. Wearing masks was useless! We MUST mask, both indoors and out. There were hotlines set up in many cities—including mine—for citizens to report their neighbors who did not comply. Police were sent to break up a Jewish funeral in New York City.

    Day after day, media rained down information about who was to blame. Millennials, spring breakers, Southerners, motorcyclists. Scientists who proposed different theories were muffled, derided, sidelined. They were deemed dangerous, their ideas “misinformation.” To question was sacrilege.

    I had lived through all of this before.

    In the last days of May 2020, police murdered a man in my city, setting off worldwide mass protests. But these gatherings were proclaimed to be different, sanctified. A service was held—indoors, packed with people including an unmasked U.S. senator and our Minnesota governor who’d pledged to send the National Guard to break up anyone else’s funeral. They sang and gripped hands. This, too, was blessed by those in charge.

    Just as they had all the years of my son’s life, recommendations changed at a furious pace, echoed by not only public health officials but their inner circle of a tech giant, a nutritionist, a sociologist, a health care entrepreneur, which now enjoyed the support of both the U.S. government and the monopoly tech platforms that control what we are allowed to see and read. The experts rocketed beyond the reach of scientific gravity into an evidence-free atmosphere where every passing theory became both law and truth.

    The year of COVID continued with a drumbeat of warnings nationwide. Sanitize your mail with bleach and a UV light. Don’t wear a mask; you must wear a mask. Buy a pulse oximeter. Stock up on Tylenol, vitamin D, Pepcid. Form a pod. Get an air filter. Whisper so you don’t spit. Stand six feet from others—no, 10. Wear gloves. Put on goggles because the virus can get in through your eyes. Don’t pet the dog. Keep your teenager in the garage. Isolate a sick toddler in your basement with a bell. Wear two masks! Stay out of restaurants, nail salons, gyms. Open the windows. Close the schools.

    Finally, the vaccines came and they seemed, at first, to be a miracle. But still there were certain things you weren’t allowed to discuss, like side effects, transmissibility, and natural immunity. The shots were immaculate and all-powerful! Then suddenly … they were not. Vaccinations were undone by the unvaccinated; they couldn’t save the faithful because of the sinful. And the drug alone wasn’t enough. True believers wore a mask as well and those who did not were causing the cure to fail.

    Whatever the experts said on television became reality, became “science.” Meanwhile people died and died and died and just as the ongoing tragedy of autism of a child was somehow the mother’s fault, over and over again, doctors and officials blamed their audience of 3 billion for the disease. The more the cures failed, the greater the fault of the public. The flaw was never in the remedy, but in those who failed to “behave” and thereby brought the plague upon themselves.

    After schools were closed and our city shut down in March of ’20, I lay awake nights imagining all the children like my son who were mute, sensitive, bound to routine, friendless, in desperate need of services and incapable of learning on Zoom. The adults with already-isolating disabilities whose programs and activities, supported jobs and social work visits were canceled. The ones who were returned with COVID to their group homes and left to die. Occasionally I’d panic, my heart pounding, and my husband would awaken to comfort me.

    More than once he actually said the words, “It’s OK, you can sleep. Andrew’s gone.”

    But I was haunted, driven, obsessed the way my child with autism had been. It was so clear to me that politicians and public health were flailing and doing harm. With every new order and unprecedented decree, I saw the shape of that army of autism experts. I questioned everything—school closures, lockdowns, masks—talking compulsively about the inevitable consequences, the ways we were breaking people. Fully half of my friends, people who sat with me in the hours after my son’s death, quit speaking to me in 2020. My editors, clients, and work colleagues simply disappeared.

    Of the friends who remain, most are sympathetic but also loyal to the COVID narrative, and therefore frustrated by my stance. They’ve suggested that I don’t trust today’s experts because I’m so broken by my past. And I cannot swear this isn’t true. But are today’s experts provably better than past experts? Why should that be? Perhaps I learned from experiences that other people were fortunate enough not to have—until now.

    In the end, what I believe doesn’t really matter. History will out. Ten or 15 or 25 years from now there will a reckoning, deep research, a spate of biographies and memoirs from the people who spent 2020-21 under the sway of gurus. News media that trumpeted their wisdom and methods will issue brisk, researched, documentary-style reports. People will swarm out of the shadows to claim they didn’t really believe the experts embodied science and were secretly resisting all along; even those who preached their gospel and strong-armed the public’s obedience will insist they actually did not.

    Because controversy sells, stories may get lurid and over the top—that whipsaw effect. A few of the people who worked with Bettelheim—such as Dr. Jacquelyn Sanders, who was his second-in-command and successor as director of the Orthogenic School—felt the pendulum swung too far upon his death. He was never the oracle media made him out to be, Sanders said, but he began his career with a true desire to help. Then came the media spotlight, the book deals, celebrity status, and wealth. What started as medicine became corrupt bombastic certainty, a willingness to destroy people if it meant never having to admit he was wrong.

    There were no studies to support Bettelheim’s work, Joan Beck reminded readers in her 1997 Chicago Tribune article “Setting the Record Straight About a Fallen Guru,” so he required the unquestioning, devout allegiance of his team to constantly remake reality so that it conformed to his recommendations.

    After Bettelheim’s death, when allegations of abuse started streaming in from both workers and residents, a journalist and former literary editor at The Nation, Richard Pollack, began working on a memoir about his brother who had been a resident at the Orthogenic School. Among the things Pollack uncovered in his research for The Creation of Doctor B: A Biography of Bruno Bettelheim: Under Bettelheim’s directorship researchers routinely mislabeled children as autistic or retarded who were not, in order to raise their “cure rate” and increase funding and grants.

    In his 2007 book, Madness on the Couch: Blaming the Victim in the Heyday of Psychoanalysis, science writer Edward Dolnick reported that papers show Bettelheim knew his methods couldn’t cure autism in 1964 but continued publishing, pushing the refrigerator-mother theory and removing children from their families for decades, admitting only in his final manuscript—published posthumously—that “nobody knows how to treat these children.”

    Since Bettelheim took his life, the Orthogenic School has undergone major changes. Their own Family Handbook makes glancing reference to Bettelheim’s “highly controversial” theories and credits him (briefly) for drawing attention to the problem of autism. In 2014, the school moved from the somber brick buildings where it had been housed for almost 100 years to a sunny campus in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood. Earlier this year, they announced they are closing their residential program for good.

    At some point—I cannot say when, because there were years that went by like dark water—I went to Chicago and visited the site of the old Orthogenic School where Bruno Bettelheim once ruled. A psychiatry fellow I’d contacted showed me around, talking gravely about the bizarrely ignorant methods that had once dominated his field. He showed me the rooms where the children lived, far from their parents, and the courtyard where in Bettelheim’s era there had been a statue in the shape of a mother that he’d encouraged his young male students to urinate on.

    I don’t know what I thought I’d find there. Maybe I was looking for the answer to how terribly and repeatedly we as people can get our responses to nature so wrong. The courtyard was empty, brilliantly sunny. The brick buildings were old and graceful, like hallowed monuments to science. I had to remind myself there were decades of abuse, psychological terror, and forced separation from parents within the walls of this place. And for all those years, staff watched and participated without a single one of them speaking out.

    With all the walk outs of health care staff, I found this article interesting. Looks like they have definitely been working to have AI take over the system.

    Mount Sinai Puts New AI Department at the Center of Patient Care



    Quote Building on the foundation it laid in 2019 with its Digital Institute for Health, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Health in New York City has launched the department of artificial intelligence and human health. Candidates for the program will work alongside computer scientists who build artificial intelligence (AI) systems and physicians who use AI in their daily activities.

    The department’s overarching goal will be to impact patients’ health positively using AI. This will be done by building AI systems at scale from data representing Mount Sinai’s diverse patient population. The systems will work seamlessly across all hospitals and care units to support physicians, foster research and improve patients' care and well-being.

    Earlier this year, Icahn Mount Sinai announced it would offer a new PhD concentration in AI and emerging technologies in medicine as part of its doctorate in biomedical sciences program starting in fall 2022. The program will train future scientists in cutting-edge technologies, including AI, medical devices, robotic machines and sensors.

    They will use AI to make inhumane decisions. I think AI is a good idea on traffic lights but that's it. An AI is only as good as its training or success criteria, which are not going to be mercy based, and also a secret. Actually I just popped on to say, woh, Delight, you were bang on the money there with this thread in April 2019

    Pfizer Tells Kids Vax Will Make Them 'Superheroes,' Give Them 'Superpowers'

    Pfizer is telling young children that their experimental mRNA covid injection will make them "superheroes" and give them "superpowers."

    The Big Pharma giant released this disgraceful propaganda ad for their "superhero shot" on Monday:



    Did Maddie De Gray get superpowers after being enrolled as a guinea pig for Pfizer's experimental injection?

    I have always believed that abortion would not occur if all lives were celebrated by society and children a source of rejoicing no matter what. I never understood why the basic shaming of all "unsanctioned" pregnancies. Now IMO the intention all along has been to make sure we had "unwanted" babies produced who would be expendable.

    I think that in the last over 100 years, vaccines have been the most diabolic invention ever.

    This segment 309 of the Highwire is really densely packed with issues around the posioning we are now experiencing. It includes Mrs. Unverse who has a child who recovered from autism because they TREATED him effectively. The statistic that 1 in 18 male children are diagnosed now with autism in the US is horrific but this is JUST one assault. I am not sure where this is leading unless people can take it on... this is WAR.

    I think that in the last over 100 years, vaccines have been the most diabolic invention ever.


    Yeppers--this plus oil. The only reason unwanted, expendable people like me are alive is due to cheap oil.

    That, of course, also leads to thousands of horrible car crashes and roadkills every day, profitable to hospitals. Thank General Motors for killing off passenger trains and trolleys. Many pharmaceuticals of course also require petroleum, which is millions of tiny corpses.

    In essence--pretty much everything "modern" is tossed out to sicken or kill callously.

    The twentieth century was like a big indoctrination camp for "scientific" and "modern", which, like a big vacuum, sucked in otherwise well-intentioned people, such as I suppose my whole family. What happened next? The cars, etc., pulled everyone off the farms. All of my grandparents came from farms. Now, the medical institutions simply confiscate your property. They sicken and kill you and rob you from the grave. Out of the four, my inheritance received does not amount to a sole penny. Oh, and I suppose I personally will never have a house or land or anything.

    What I have learned is to deal with doctors, psychiatrists, and governments as if they were mindless robots. The state hates me, I can assure you of that. They are great at monologue enforced by the court system. They have a form of memory similar to a hard disk. A cold, mechanized intelligence, which is not really a human mind, but, as in some of your other posts, a massive peer pressure that only allows practitioners to build more machine.

    Let's go back and ask, say, the whole continent of Africa about Covid? We can't, because, according to prediction, they are all dead.

    Fwiw, I have not subjected myself to their treatments as an adult, for over thirty years, I don't do physicals, take Tylenol, or whatever they talk about. I don't get sick. I have worked in public areas and I handle trash and I do some things that are supposed to be disgusting. Such as, I use the same coffee cup every day, with those mouth germs and whatnot. No sugar added. At this point, I have not washed it in probably five years. If there is nothing to rot, nothing seems to happen. I drink orange juice right from the bottle and throw it away.

    Ordinary soap and bleach on things that rot is what caused the decline in mortality up to around the 1940s. Vaccines simply took the credit for themselves. Then what, we start getting modern cancers from all these questionable additives, and the deterioration of organic agriculture.

    Looking at data does not mean you have a soul.

    And, to put this out there again, for this past Christmas, the person I know who took two Covid vaccines got Covid, and it did absolutely nothing to me. The only cold I had during these years of heavily-used coffee cup was around the time of the second injection. But I am not up for any testing to see if that gave me Covid or not. I have no idea and don't care.

    The military exercise waged against us was horrendous. When I think of someone with their face covered up remaining several feet away, that is the berth that followers of this hypocrisy need to allow me. Remain mute. Stay out of the way. Don't do anything. This applies to almost every known public figure, with a few obvious exemptions.

    Again, it's not by any means the Nazi death cult, since it came from Oxbridge and Ivy League, and did I mention that eugenics by way of mandatory sterilization was done here until the 1950s? Above board, legally cleared, state sanctioned gouging of the ovaries--probably cheered on by most of the neighbors.

    Allopathic medicine is completely valid to set broken bones and stitch cuts. Beyond that, it is basically giving you the disease while it mocks you in your plight.

    Incredibly fake, but nearly impossible to clean out of one's legislation.
