My interview with former CBS star reporter
By Jon Rappoport
I'm reprinting an excerpt from an interview I did, several years ago, with former CBS investigative reporter, Sharyl Attkisson.
It's a reminder about the difference between fake and real news, and about who the major purveyors of fake news are.
It also reveals a familiar strategy major news outlets
deploy, when they happen to publish a true story and then realize its
explosive implications: they shut down all further investigation. They
close the book.
Here is my piece in full:
Unless you've been living in a cave, you're aware that a
film, Vaxxed, has been showing in theaters across America and
overseas---and audiences are stunned by its revelations.
Vaxxed exposes a huge scandal at the CDC, where a long-time
researcher, William Thompson, confessed (2014) that he and colleagues
committed gross fraud in a study of the MMR vaccine.
Thompson admitted the evidence showed the vaccine led to a
higher risk of autism in children---but that finding was intentionally
buried, and the vaccine was given a free pass.
Of course, mainstream reporters have been mercilessly
attacking Vaxxed, and a segment of the population finds it impossible to
believe that the CDC would ever commit this kind of fraud.
So, as a mind-changer, let me take you back to the late
summer of 2009, and the Swine Flu epidemic, which was hyped to the sky
by the CDC. The Agency was calling for all Americans to take the Swine
Flu vaccine. Remember?
The problem was, the CDC was concealing another scandal.
At the time, star CBS investigative reporter, Sharyl
Attkisson, was working on a Swine Flu story. She discovered that the CDC
had secretly stopped counting cases of the illness---while, of course,
continuing to warn Americans about its unchecked spread.
Understand that the CDC's main job is counting cases and reporting the numbers.
What was the Agency up to?
Here is an excerpt from my interview with Sharyl Attkisson:
Rappoport: In 2009, you spearheaded coverage of the so-called
Swine Flu pandemic. You discovered that, in the summer of 2009, the
Centers for Disease Control, ignoring their federal mandate, [secretly]
stopped counting Swine Flu cases in America. Yet they continued to stir
up fear about the "pandemic," without having any real measure of its
impact. Wasn't that another investigation of yours that was shut down?
Wasn't there more to find out?
Attkisson: The implications of the story were
even worse than that. We discovered through our FOI efforts that before
the CDC mysteriously stopped counting Swine Flu cases, they had learned
that almost none of the cases they had counted as Swine Flu was, in
fact, Swine Flu or any sort of flu at all! The interest in the story
from one [CBS] executive was very enthusiastic. He said it was "the most
original story" he'd seen on the whole Swine Flu epidemic. But others
pushed to stop it [after it was published on the CBS News website] and,
in the end, no [CBS television news] broadcast wanted to touch it. We
aired numerous stories pumping up the idea of an epidemic, but not the
one that would shed original, new light on all the hype. It was fair,
accurate, legally approved and a heck of a story. With the CDC keeping
the true Swine Flu stats secret, it meant that many in the public took
and gave their children an experimental vaccine that may not have been
necessary.
---end of interview excerpt---
It was routine for doctors all over America to send blood
samples from patients they'd diagnosed with Swine Flu, or the "most
likely" Swine Flu patients, to labs for testing. And overwhelmingly,
those samples were coming back with the result: not Swine Flu, not any
kind of flu.
That was the big secret. That's what the CDC was hiding.
That's why they stopped reporting Swine Flu case numbers. That's what
Attkisson had discovered. That's why she was shut down.
But it gets even worse.
Because about three weeks after Attkisson's findings were
published on the CBS News website, the CDC, obviously in a panic,
decided to double down. If one lie is exposed, tell an even bigger one. A
much bigger one.
Here, from a November 12, 2009, WebMD article is the CDC's
response: "Shockingly, 14 million to 34 million U.S. residents - the
CDC's best guess is 22 million - came down with H1N1 swine flu by Oct.
17 [2009]." ("22 million cases of Swine Flu in US," by Daniel J.
DeNoon).
Are your eyeballs popping? They should be.
In the summer of 2009, the CDC secretly stops counting Swine
Flu cases in America, because the overwhelming percentage of lab tests
from likely Swine Flu patients shows no sign of Swine Flu or any other
kind of flu.
There is no Swine Flu epidemic.
Then, the CDC estimates there are 22 MILLION cases of Swine Flu in the US.
So...the premise that the CDC would never lie about important
matters like, oh, a vaccine increasing the risk of autism...you can lay
that one to rest.
The CDC will lie about anything it wants to. It will boldly go where no person interested in real science will go.
It will completely ignore its mandate to care about human health, and it will get away with it.
And CBS will conveniently forget how it aided and abetted the
CDC, by censoring real news, and instead opted for egregious and
titanic fake news.
