Scare tactics
are commonly used to promote propaganda about the need for “no
exceptions” mandatory vaccination laws; CNN reported the state of
Washington was “under a state of emergency” due to a handful of measles
cases blamed on unvaccinated children; the photo they used for the story
purported to show a child with measles but was actually a photo of a
child with a rash caused by vaccination
In an interview with CBS News, Dr.
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases (NIAID), flat-out denied that vaccines can and do
cause injuries and death. The news outlet had featured parents who are
concerned about vaccination risks, including one woman whose middle
child suffered from severe reactions to vaccinations.
Understandably, she then refused to vaccinate her youngest son and
stated, "If I could go back, I wouldn't have vaccinated any of my
kids."1
When asked what to say to such parents, who have experienced adverse
vaccine reactions among their own children and are hesitant to have the
same procedure performed on another child, Fauci graciously said they
shouldn't be denigrated but that they must be told vaccines are "very
safe."
"[T]he lack of safety and adverse events, things like autism … that
issue is based purely on fabrication and that's been proven … there is
no association whatsoever between the measles vaccine and autism," he
said. The reporter again questioned Fauci's claims there are no studies
showing vaccines may cause harm, and asked if he were perhaps not
looking at the right studies.
"That's just not true … that's just not true, period," Fauci said,
refusing to even entertain the notion that vaccines may cause adverse
reactions in some people, and that parents of vaccine-injured children
may be justified in their hesitation to vaccinate their other children.
The $4 billion (and growing) payouts for vaccine injuries and deaths
in the U.S. suggest that concerns about vaccine safety are well
founded and that the right to know and freedom to make voluntary
vaccine decisions must be protected in public health policies and laws.
Health Chief at NIH Denies Vaccine Injuries While $4 Billion Has Been Paid Out to Vaccine Victims
The vaccine industry
operates under a shield of immunity from liability unlike any other
given to corporations that manufacture commercial products sold for a
profit in the U.S. In most cases, if a product injures or kills a
person, its manufacturer can be held financially accountable in a civil
court of law. With vaccines, however, this is not the case.
In the U.S., there is a federally operated vaccine injury
compensation program (VICP) that Congress created under the 1986
National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act as an alternative to a vaccine
injury lawsuit. In 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court effectively removed all
liability from vaccine manufacturers, even when the company could have
made a vaccine safer, and made the VICP an "exclusive" legal remedy
for the vaccine injured.
In what has become known as "vaccine court," the U.S. Court of
Federal Claims in Washington, D.C. handles vaccine injury and death
petitions filed in the VICP when the Secretary of Health and Human
Services and the Department of Justice oppose awarding federal
compensation to a vaccine victim.
In their latest release of data and statistics, the U.S. Health
Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), while again stating that
the U.S. has "the safest, most effective vaccine supply in history,"
revealed that approximately $4 billion has been paid out to
vaccine-injured victims since 1988.2
Children's Health Defense, which is working to end childhood health
epidemics by eliminating harmful exposures, explained why this figure is
likely lower than it really should be:3
"Over the vaccine court's 30-year history, individuals and
families have filed over 20,000 petitions for vaccine injury
compensation. This month, even as 12 percent of filed petitions
remained unadjudicated, the payouts crossed over the $4 billion
threshold.
This amount was awarded in response to barely a third (31
percent or 6,276) of the filed petitions. There is no telling how much
more money the taxpayer-funded program might have shelled out if the
court had not chosen to dismiss the remaining petitions (56 percent) —
possibly doing so fraudulently in at least some cases."
The federal VICP compensates vaccine victims through a federal trust
fund that collects a surcharge on every dose of vaccine given. Vaccine
manufacturers do not have to contribute any money to the trust fund
managed by the Department of Treasury and used to compensate vaccine
victims.
There is a Vaccine Injury Table (VIT), which lists vaccine side
effects acknowledged by the government to be caused by vaccines.
In order to win an uncontested federal vaccine injury compensation
award, the vaccine injured person or the parent or guardian of that
person, usually with the assistance of an attorney, must demonstrate
that he or she developed certain clinical symptoms and medical
conditions on the VIT within a certain timeframe of receiving a certain
vaccine and that there is no other more biologically plausible
explanation for the vaccine-related injury or death.
"Over the three decades, despite the stated intent to furnish an
'accessible and efficient forum for individuals found to be injured by
certain vaccines,' the NVICP has devolved into a protracted and
litigious David-versus-Goliath battleground," Children's Health Defense
added.
"The vaccine court, in actuality, is 'not a court at all but … a
consumer-funded government claims program that uses … employees of
Health and Human Services (HHS), rather than judges to make decisions
on compensation."4
Vaccine Injuries Are Real
Fauci suggested that reports about lack of vaccine safety
and reports of serious vaccine reactions and injuries are fabricated.
However, numerous studies do, in fact, link vaccines to harm. Even the
so-called "fraudulent" autism study he spoke about deserves a hard second look.
Again and again, you hear that the autism-vaccine link was based on a
single study published in 1998 by a doctor, Andrew Wakefield, who has
been discredited, and that the hypothetical association between vaccines
and autism has since been thoroughly and repeatedly debunked. It
sounds definitive enough, and is often repeated as established fact.
Yet, William Thompson, Ph.D., a senior scientist at the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for
Immunizations and Respiratory Diseases (NCIR), confessed that he conspired with colleagues to cover up links found between the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism.
Other research also suggests vaccinated children may have more
health problems than unvaccinated children. For instance, among
unvaccinated premature infants, no link to neurodevelopmental disorders
(NDD) was found. However, a significant link between vaccinations and
NDD was detected, regardless of whether the child was premature or
full-term.
The combination of preterm birth with vaccination was associated with a 660 percent increased odds of NDD,5 suggesting a synergistic effect and a need to fully research whether it's safe to vaccinate premature infants.
Further, in a pilot study comparing the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated children,
those who were vaccinated were more likely to have been diagnosed with
any chronic illness as well as other health conditions like otitis
media, pneumonia, allergies and eczema.6
In 2013, a physician committee at the Institute of Medicine (IOM),
National Academy of Sciences, even pointed out that the current
federally recommended childhood vaccine schedule for infants and
children from birth to age 6 had not been adequately studied for
safety.7
CNN Accidentally Uses Picture of Vaccine Reaction to Scare People About Measles
One of the scare-tactics being used as of late are media reports
warning about measles outbreaks, which are often blamed on unvaccinated
children. In one such report, CNN reported the state of Washington was
"under a state of emergency" due to a handful of measles cases.
The photo they used for the story, which has since been removed,
purported to show a child with measles, but was actually a photo of a
child with a rash caused by a vaccination.
At the bottom of the article, you can still read their correction,
"This article and an accompanying video previously included a
photograph of a child with a rash linked to a vaccination. The image has
been removed."8
While measles can be serious, particularly in people with compromised
immune systems, the majority of cases resolve on their own without
complications.
Declaring a state of emergency in Washington may be a bit of a stretch, considering it wasn't long ago when getting measles
was common during childhood and rarely caused complications in healthy
children. Similar fear-mongering occurred in 2015, when visitors to Disneyland in California got measles and transmitted the disease to other people in California, Washington, Utah and Colorado.
The 188 cases of measles reported in the U.S. in 2015 were used to
create propaganda to persuade legislators to introduce new legislation
to eliminate vaccine exemptions and further limit parents' ability to
make informed, voluntary vaccine choices for their children.
In the 2013-2014 school year, almost 95 percent of U.S. children entering kindergarten had received two doses of MMR vaccine,9 as had 92 percent of school children ages 13 to 17 years.10 That high rate of vaccination for MMR among U.S. school children continues today. 11
This high MMR vaccination rate should theoretically ensure "herd
immunity," but outbreaks of both measles and mumps keep occurring,
which hints at vaccine failure. One proposed solution is to introduce a third MMR vaccination as a "booster" dose at age 18.
In 2015, Barbara Loe Fisher explained that the fear-mongering over measles cases in Disneyland was more about covering up vaccine failures than it was about protecting public health, and it remains much the same way today:
"The hype about … cases of measles reportedly linked to
Disneyland has more to do with covering up vaccine failures and
propping up the dissolving myth of vaccine acquired herd immunity than
it does about protecting the public health.
It has a lot to do with defensive doctors trying to blame a
minority of parents who are refusing to place irrational faith in them
and their moving goal posts, and are choosing instead to think and act
rationally.
That third MMR shot is coming to America and so is a massive
Pharma-led lobby attempt to demonize and punish all Americans who
defend the human right to exercise informed consent to medical
risk-taking, including vaccine risk-taking.
The calls to strike down those who do not use every dose of the
growing list of government-mandated vaccines, is on a fast track. It
will include banning the unvaccinated from exercising the right to get a
public education, medical care, employment, and many other human and
civil rights."
Pediatric Neurologist Told Department of Justice Vaccines Can Cause Autism
The existence of a potential link between vaccines, mitochondrial
disorder and autism was a subject of the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services omnibus autism proceedings in 2007. Children's Health
Defense and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are requesting an
investigation into fraud and obstruction of justice by U.S. Department
of Justice (DOJ) officials while representing HHS during the
proceeding.
"DOJ attorneys and HHS officials purposefully and maliciously
deceived the NVICP, also known as 'vaccine court,' in order to deny
relief to 5,400 children whose injury claims threatened to bankrupt the
vaccine program," the request reads.12
Part of the fraud involves the so-called "Zimmerman concealment,"
referring to Dr. Andrew Zimmerman, a pediatric neurologist, who is a
pro-vaccine expert witness the U.S. government used to debunk and turn
down autism claims in vaccine court.
In a Full Measure report,13 award-winning investigative reporter and former CBS correspondent Sharyl Attkisson14
explained, "Zimmerman was the government's top expert witness and had
testified that vaccines didn't cause autism. The debate was declared
over. But now Dr. Zimmerman has provided remarkable new information."
She added:15
"He claims that during the vaccine hearings all those years ago,
he privately told government lawyers that vaccines can, and did cause
autism in some children. That turnabout from the government's own chief
medical expert stood to change everything about the vaccine-autism
debate. If the public were to find out …
And he has come forward and explained how he told the United
States government vaccines can cause autism in a certain subset of
children and [the] United States government, the Department of Justice,
suppressed his true opinions."
Health Officials Continue to Deny Vaccine Risks
In a sworn affidavit dated September 7, 2018, Zimmerman stated that,
in 2007, he told DOJ lawyers he had "discovered exceptions in which
vaccinations could cause autism. "I explained that in a subset of
children, vaccine-induced fever and immune stimulation did cause
regressive brain disease with features of autism spectrum disorder,"
Zimmerman wrote.16
Reportedly, this "panicked" the DOJ. Zimmerman was fired and told
his services would no longer be needed, which could be interpreted as
an attempt to silence him. According to Zimmerman, the DOJ then went on
to misrepresent his opinion in future cases, making no mention of the
exceptions he'd informed them of.
"Meantime, CDC — which promotes vaccines and monitors vaccine safety
— never disclosed that the government's own one-time medical expert
concluded vaccines can, in some children with certain health
conditions, cause autism. To this day public health officials deny
that's the case," according to the Full Measure report,17 coming full circle and echoing the statements of NIAID director Fauci.
