CDC Whistleblower Update

September 1, 2014, Leave a Comment

As you all probably know by now, a CDC whistleblower has come forward and said that he and other CDC scientists and officials knowingly and willfully covered up the MMR-autism link for 13 years. The original paper was published in Pediatrics, a publication of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The AAP takes money from the vaccine-making pharmaceutical industry. It is truly staggering that this is not being covered at all by the mainstream.

For nearly 2 weeks now only the independent media has been following the story of CDC whistleblower Dr. Bill Thompson. To hear the phone calls: CDC Whistleblower revealed  To read Dr. Thompson’s statement: Public statement by William Thompson, Ph. D.

Thompson is a senior CDC scientist who has come forward stating that he and other scientists and senior officials at CDC knowingly excluded data from a study that showed MMR was causing autism in boys when given before 36 months of age and that in African American boys the rate is 2.4 times that of white boys. In plain English this means they falsified the data.

Dr. Thompson has gone on to say that he is confident thimerosal (mercury in vaccines, though there is none in MMR vaccines) is a danger to unborn babies, should not be given to pregnant women, causes tics, and autism-like features (aka autism). CDC of course maintains that thimerosal is safe for pregnant women, 6 month old babies, and does not cause tics – even though the man who did the research, Dr. Thompson, says otherwise – and CDC refused to allow Dr. Thompson to publish his research without massaging the numbers. See CDC Whistleblower on Thimerosal in Pregnant Women

Thursday, August 28, 2014, Dr. Brian Hooker, to whom Dr. Thompson made his confessions, had his recent paper pulled from the website of the journal Translational Neurodegeneration and a comment posted in its place stating it was removed “because of serious concerns about the validity of its conclusions” despite the fact that his findings are exactly what Dr. Thompson and CDC found before they faked the numbers and Dr. Hooker’s data came direct from CDC through a Freedom of Information Act request!!  CDC has since admitted that they did indeed omit the data. Link to comment on Dr. Hooker’s paper: http://www.translationalneurodegeneration.com/content/3/1/16/abstract

So far, the mainstream media, had not covered a single detail of this – until Dr. Hooker’s paper was removed from the journal’s website. CNN even went so far as to take down, repeatedly, the CDC whistleblower story as it was posted by readers on the CNNi bulletin board.

Then on Thursday August 28th, both CNN and Fox Seattle ran stories that Dr. Hooker’s paper had been removed and Fox went so far as to say it is invalid.

The mainstream media has not said a word about the alleged fraud and criminal behavior at CDC, the faked MMR-autism numbers, the very high increased risk of autism in African American boys, the link between mercury, tics, and yes, autism. They have said nothing about Dr. Thompson’s allegations and admissions, all they’ve done is focus on a journal removing a paper they published 3 weeks before and goodness knows what went on behind the scenes to make that happen.

They have not interviewed Dr. Hooker or Dr. Thompson, the two most important men at the center of this shocking revelation, instead they wheel out the CDC statement and their go to experts – one who is a co-author on the CDC study and is accused of fraud –  and broadcast the message we are all supposed to receive: everything is fine. They have not questioned the original CDC paper which Dr. Thompson says was a fraud and unsurprisingly, the AAP stands by the paper.

But the jig is up. Too much information is out there already and too many moms and dads can see the plain truth for themselves: the mainstream and the “experts” cannot be trusted.

As we always say, no one else is responsible for you and your child’s welfare. No one. So educate yourself!
