Is Trump's investigation of vaccine-dangers dead?
By Jon Rappoport
Trump has made two key appointments in the area of childhood
vaccination. The first was Scott Gottlieb, the director of the FDA. What
does Gottlieb have to say?
From fiercepharma.com: "...antivaccine activists were
disappointed with Trump's appointment for FDA head, Scott Gottlieb, who
has said any theories of a link between vaccines and autism have been
'thoroughly debunked'."
Trump's second key appointment has now been revealed. Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald takes over as the head of the CDC.
Georgia Department of Public Health: "'Immunizations are the
best way to protect infants and children from childhood diseases, like
whooping cough and measles that can be life-threatening at young ages',"
said Brenda Fitzgerald, M.D., commissioner of the Georgia Department of
Public Health [before her appointment to lead the CDC]. "It is critical
for parents to talk to their child's doctor to ensure they are
up-to-date on immunizations, because no child should have to suffer a
vaccine-preventable illness'."
In 2014, Dr. Fitzgerald wrote an op-ed in the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution: "I've heard all the arguments against vaccination.
All have been debunked..."
Is Trump, who has declared he believes there is a link
between vaccination and autism, playing a secret game? Is he giving his
new appointees enough rope to hang themselves, before he moves in and
empowers an independent panel to investigate vaccine-dangers?
We'll see. However, if other key appointees Trump has moved
into important slots in his administration are any indication---with
their leaking, their out of school statements, their former employment
at Goldman Sachs, their bias in favor of extending American Empire and
policing the planet---the whole issue of vaccination could be off the
table.
Does Trump want yet another media war, this time over
vaccines? If he does, for example, as rumored, tap Robert F. Kennedy,
Jr. to head up a probe into corruption and fraud at the CDC re childhood
vaccination, mainstream news networks will erupt in a new round of
furor. Pharmaceutical companies, which pour mighty amounts of
advertising dollars into those networks, will demand volcanic attacks
against Trump.
For the moment, vaccine makers are relieved to see the president has filled two key posts with defenders of their toxic realm.
