Wikileaks Shows how Big Pharma has Bought out the World Health Organization

In recent weeks, the World Health Organization has received a lot of attention, most recently when President Trump decided to cut funding from WHO in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. The president cut funding while claiming that WHO is mismanaging and covering up the full extent of the coronavirus spread.

Recently, Wikileaks has posted about the WHO on social media, sharing confidential documents released more than a decade ago. The documents point to the influence that “Big Pharma” has over the WHO.

The compilation of documents shows the influence of “Big Pharma” on the policymaking decisions of the WHO, the UN body safeguarding public health. These confidential documents were obtained by the drug industry before their public release to WHO member states.”

“Big Pharma” has a similar influence over Congress in D.C, making up the largest lobbying group in Washington. Large pharmaceutical companies have more lobbyists in Washington D.C than D.C has congressmen and senators. Despite the obvious hold on our government and the World Health Organization, this corruption isn’t highlighted in mainstream media.

Google Removed Natural Health Websites From Search Results – List of Alternative Search Engines

The internet has increased our level of awareness to unprecedented heights. For better and for worse, we have had a freedom of information that we have never enjoyed before. One major drawback has been fake news (though the phrase has been co-opted to mean news one disagrees with). Today social media sites are using fake news and other disinformation as an excuse to censor alternative news and information.

Pinterest has banned our website and Facebook has warned us about spreading anti-vaccine information. Even MailChimp has banned anti-vaccine content and Amazon removed books with anti-vaccine information.

A few years ago we saw the writing on the wall and we put our energy towards ensuring we ranked well on the search engines – primarily Google because they account for more than 95% of search engine web traffic.

But on June 3rd, Google had a major algorithm change, which nearly eliminated the organic search results for natural health websites including Green Med Info, Mercola, DrAxe.comNaturalnews.com, and ours.

We agree that disinformation is a problem but questioning the prevailing wisdom, raising concerns, and alternative news is imperative for a fair democracy. Censorship is not what we need.

The problem of fake news isn’t solved by hoping for a referee, but rather because we as citizens, we as users of these services, help each other. We talk and we share and we point out what is fake. We point out what is true. The answer to bad speech is not censorship, the answer to bad speech is more speech. We have to exercise and spread the idea that critical thinking matters, now more than ever, given the fact that lies seem to be getting more popular.”

Edward Snowden 

This concept is backed up by the fact that the younger generation is better at identifying fake news and other forms of disinformation.

And while Pinterest and MailChimp may mean well, Amazon is getting into big pharma in a big way, Facebook makes a lot of money from the pharmaceutical industry and Mary Ellen Coe, Google’s president of Customer Solutions sits on Merck’s Board of Directors (Merck is one of the world’s largest vaccine manufacturers). And Alphabet (the company that owns Google) is now a pharmaceutical company.

Google today is not only a weapon for promoting the pharmaceutical agenda but now also a drug company itself. During the past six years, Google’s parent company Alphabet has launched two pharmaceutical companies. In 2013, it founded Calico, run by Genentech’s former CEO Arthur Levinson. Calico operates an R&D facility in the San Francisco Bay Area for the discovery of treatments associated with age-related diseases. Two years later, Alphabet founded Verily Life Sciences (previously Google Life Sciences). Both pharma companies are partnering with other drug corporations. Recently, Verily has partnered with the European pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline to form a new drug company, Galvani Bioelectronics for the development of “bioelectronic medicines.” The collaboration is costing the companies $715 million, and the new firm is being chaired by Glaxo’s former chairman of its global vaccines business.

Bayer Monsanto Merger Gets U.S. Approval, Conquering Last Regulatory Hurdle

Last Tuesday Bayer AG received U.S. antitrust approval to takeover Monsanto, clearing the last major regulatory hurdle for the 66 billion dollar deal to happen. The deal has received antitrust approval from most jurisdictions around the world. Bayer is still waiting for Mexico and Canada’s approval, but according to a recent statement, the company believes the deal will close by the June 14 deadline. If the deal is not completed by June 14 Monsanto could pull out or seek a higher price.

Approval from the U.S. Justice Department is contingent on the sale of $9 billion in Bayer assets to BASF. The sales of those assets include the Liberty herbicide brand as well as the company’s canola, soybean, and vegetable seed businesses. These products compete with current Monsanto products.

Makan Delrahim, head of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division, says that this is the largest divestiture in U.S. antitrust enforcement history.

Acquiring Monsanto is the latest move in a series of steps to transform the 154-year-old company. Bayer used to be a plastics business. Now they are considered a “life-science” company. Bayer will be equal parts health industry and agriculture industry.

When the deal goes through there will be three massive global corporations that control the world’s agriculture industry: DowDuPont, Syngenta AG, and Bayer-Monsanto.

The DOJ’s weak divestment requirements will do nothing to stop Bayer-Monsanto from controlling more and more of our food system. This merger will damage the bargaining power of family farmers, prevent farmers from accessing diverse seed varieties, and allow seed prices to rise.” – Tiffany Finck-Haynes, senior food futures campaigner with Friends of the Earth via Bloomerg

Trump Wants Death Penalty For Dangerous Drug Dealers – But who Are the Dangerous Ones?

President Trump suggested drug dealers in the United States should face harsher punishments, including the death penalty or life in prison, during a campaign rally last Saturday. Trump praised Singapore and China for their “zero tolerance policy” regarding drugs, and likes the idea for the U.S.

I think it’s a discussion we have to start thinking about. I don’t know if we’re ready. I don’t know if this country’s ready for it.”

The president seems to be inspired by the Filipino President whose violent war against drugs has led to thousands of deaths, including small-time drug users and innocent people for whom he says is simply “collateral damage.”

That means if we catch a drug dealer, death penalty.”

Last year we know Trump congratulated the Philippines President Duterte for his efforts in eradicating drugs from the country thanks to a leaked transcript of their phone call.

I just wanted to congratulate you because I am hearing of the unbelievable job on the drug problem. Many countries have the problem, we have a problem, but what a great job you are doing and I just wanted to call and tell you that.”

At Saccone’s campaign rally last Saturday, Trump said that we should handle drug dealers like murderers..

You kill 5,000 people with drugs because you’re smuggling them in and you’re making a lot of money and people are dying and they don’t even put you in jail. That’s why we have a problem, folks. I don’t think we should play games.”

These remarks are consistent with the speech he made at the White House Opioids Summit last week when he suggested that drug dealers should have to face the death penalty.

Some countries have a very, very tough penalty — the ultimate penalty. And, by the way, they have much less of a drug problem than we do.” – Trump said during last week’s summit

The Real Drug Dealers

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collected data that shows that more people die from legally prescribed drugs than from heroin and cocaine combined. The CDC says the situation as an “epidemic.”

And the rates are skyrocketing thanks to America’s opioid dependence.

America represents just five percent of the world’s population but we consume 75 percent of the world’s prescription drugs according to Drugfreeworld.org.There’s a misperception by many people that because pharmaceutical drugs are regulated that they are safer. But when misused or taken without a doctor’s prescription drugs can often kill as easily as street drugs.

Prescription drug deaths for 2016 were tallied at 63,600, up from 52,000 in 2015. 2017 and 2018 look to continue the trend. It’s so bad that we actually except our average lifespan to have declined in 2017, and the trend is looking no better for this year.

In other words, the pharmaceutical companies, the companies supposedly in the business of saving lives, are responsible for a drop in the life expectancy of the entire United States.

Let that sink in.

And these numbers, of course, do not represent all of the other deaths caused by pharmaceutical companies. Big Pharma is killing us.

If you think about it and consider the toxicity and ineffectualness of drugs to actually rid disease, the pharmaceutical companies are killing us at a rate that far exceeds anything else.

Pharmaceutical companies are the dangerous drug dealers we need to put a stop to. We at OLM do not condone the death penalty, we like to see people get well, not get killed. But wouldn’t it be nice if someone had the scruples and fortitude to go after the real bad guys?

Vaccine Propaganda Vs Vaccine Truth

Vaccines do not need much in the way of advertising; they have a way of selling themselves. After all, the majority of people believe that they are absolutely necessary. How did these beliefs come to be so entrenched in the minds of the public?

Most Americans don’t realize they have a choice. Day care centers and schools ask for proof of vaccination before registration and pediatricians and general physicians treat vaccines as a fundamental and necessary part of basic health care. The pharmaceutical industry heavily funds medical schools and medical research, influencing the perceptions of the medical profession, convincing them that vaccines are safe and effective. They, in turn, influence public perception. This kind of propaganda is highly effective when neither doctors nor parents take the time to do the research.

Propaganda does not deceive people; it merely helps them to deceive themselves.”- Eric Hoffer

Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism

If vaccines do not cause autism then why is autism listed as one of the possible side effects on vaccine warning inserts? If we read the warning inserts, we can begin to see vaccines for what they really are -dangerous pharmaceuticals. For instance, encephalitis is an adverse reaction listed for many different vaccines. When severe swelling of the brain occurs, it can cause autism.

There have been dozens of studies by independent scientists that show vaccines increase the risk of autism. To the layperson, yes, vaccines do cause autism. To a scientist, the word “cause” is a word that is not used in the same manner as lay people would use it. As Judy Mikovitz, an experienced vaccine researcher explains:

Ah, no. Vaccines definitely don’t cause autism. And we’ve talked, and we should talk, about this word “cause.” Because in my forty years or so working with cancer and HIV/AIDS and other chronic diseases there are two words that we don’t use. We don’t use cause and we don’t use cure. Because in order for something to be causative by the scientific definition that we use, every single case of the disease must have a vaccine origin.

And of course, you yourself just said 7 of 10 moms feel that the change in their child’s behavior and health occurred following a vaccination, but that’s still not every case. So what we usually say is associated.

So if you change that question and you ask me are vaccines associated, do they play a role in the brain damage and the immune damage that results in autism, I would say absolutely. And there is a ton of data to back that up.

Though there have been many studies demonstrating no link between vaccines and autism, these studies were funded by the pharmaceutical industry or the U.S. government. Both the U.S. government and the pharmaceutical industry have a vested interest in manipulating the outcomes of these studies to show the results that they want. This may sound a little conspiratorial, but they have been caught doing exactly that, manipulating data to make vaccines appear to be safer than they actually are. One such example of this is the study identified by William Thompson, the CDC whistleblower, but his involvement in vaccine cover-ups is just the tip of the iceberg. U.S. regulatory agencies are staffed by industry insiders who are constantly seeking to push vaccines on the public under the guise of the “greater good”.

In order to find reliable guidance, many people look to independent scientists for guidance. However, genuinely independent research is very hard to find. When universities are heavily funded by the pharmaceutical industry, they are not conducting truly independent research either. They do often conduct pro vaccine studies claiming that vaccines do not cause autism, but this is what they are paid to do. We don’t need to be fooled by vaccine propaganda. All we need to do is read a vaccine warning insert or take a look at the FDA’s website. They readily admit that the vaccine can cause all manner of adverse reactions:

Adverse events reported during post-approval use of Tripedia vaccine include idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, SIDS, anaphylactic reaction, cellulitis, autism, convulsion/grand mal convulsion, encephalopathy, hypotonia, neuropathy, somnolence and apnea.” [1]

The FDA directly contradicts the talking heads on CNN and other mainstream media outlets. The reason why is simple: over 70% of mainstream media’s advertising revenue comes from the pharmaceutical industry. Media reports what they are told to report, even when it’s not true. They know most of their viewers will not take the time to do the research.

Vaccines Have Played a Role in the Historical Decline of Infectious Disease

Malnutrition, food poisoning, high parasite exposure, abysmal hygiene, unreliable or non-existent trash removal, unclean drinking water, plumbing infrastructure that ranged from insufficient to nonexistent, these are the factors that contribute to unsanitary living conditions. As these crippling living conditions were slowly addressed, the decline of infectious diseases began.

The connection between living in abject filth and rampant disease is so obvious that it shouldn’t need to be explained, but it has been explained comprehensively. The scientific explanation is known as the filth theory of disease. Most doctors have never even heard of it. They are too busy being taught pharmaceutically influenced curriculum to learn the historical facts.

We used to be plagued with epidemics on a regular basis. When it comes to understanding how people lived, died, and what challenges they faced, the experts are not the physicians. The experts are the historians, the archeologists, and the anthropologists. Asking doctors what eradicated smallpox is like asking them detailed questions about black holes, inflation and deflation, or what events led to the American Revolutionary War. Most doctors are well read, and though they may be familiar with these topics, they are unlikely to be experts on them. These kinds of questions are best left to those who actually study these phenomena – the astronomers, economists, and historians respectively. To learn about history, consult the historians.

You Get More Mercury From Consuming Fish Than You Do From Getting Vaccines

Despite claims to the contrary, no one gets more mercury from consuming fish than from receiving a vaccine that contains thimerosal. There is a profound physiological difference between ingesting mercury and injecting mercury. When we are healthy, our digestive tract does a remarkable job of keeping toxic substances from entering our bloodstream. In either case, the mercury in seafood or vaccines is from an unnatural origin. Even though mercury naturally occurs in the environment, the sheer amount of mercury that we are exposed to is problematic, and the majority of it is a direct consequence of vaccination and industrial pollution. No amount of mercury is good for us, for the environment, or for wildlife. The mercury in seafood is no doubt a serious health concern, but injecting mercury directly into our bloodstream is far worse than eating small amounts of it and is totally avoidable.

Vaccine Manufacturers Do Not Make Much Money on Vaccines

The pharmaceutical industry doesn’t produce anything out of a sense of altruism or for the greater good. For instance, even though we are in need of new antibiotics (many antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria have emerged as a real threat to our safety) all of the major pharmaceutical companies have publicly stated that they have no interest in developing new antibiotics. Their reasoning is simple: antibiotics are not profitable enough for them. It is far more profitable to develop drugs that are used over and over again, like vaccines, psychiatric medications, steroids, and statins. Disease and symptom management is far more profitable than developing drugs that actually cure or prevent illness. The first antibiotics were not developed by the industry but rather by independent scientists. Although antibiotics are no doubt egregiously overused, when used appropriately, they can save lives and cure infection. Big Pharma has the means to develop drugs that save lives and cure disease. In reality, this almost never happens because there is a lot more money to be made through symptom management. It is a comforting thought to believe that vaccines are made for the common good, but sadly they are made for money. The bottom line is the pharmaceutical industry only cares about the bottom line.

Each vaccine is worth billions of dollars, and that is why there are hundreds of them in development. There is no liability on vaccines, and if a vaccine causes permanent injury (such as autism, ADHD, asthma, or immune disorders) most parents hold to the belief that medications are needed indefinitely to manage these syndromes. Obviously, this makes the pharmaceutical companies even more money.

Our children are sicker now than many generations past. As before, there are many reasons for this: diets heavy in processed foods, GMOs, sedentary lifestyles, and chemical pollutants. However, the primary reason that our young are in worse health than previous generations is vaccination. It is the profit motive that drives vaccine mandates. If vaccines were held to the same standards of liability as everything else that is bought and sold in America, vaccine research and production would halt faster than you could say “accountability”.

Adverse Reactions to Vaccines are Rare

If you don’t believe that vaccines are safe and effective, then industry hopes that you will believe that they are usually safe, and usually effective. Despite the fact that vaccines are filled with neurotoxins, Big Pharma has worked very hard to spread the belief that vaccine reactions are rare. This is, after all, what parents are told by their doctors. In truth, rare is the new normal.

At present, we are experiencing an epidemic of autism, ADHD, neurological disorders, asthma, SIDS, and several chronic illnesses. We are told by vaccine manufacturers that these rising rates of chronic illnesses are a mystery – that vaccines have nothing to do with it. If it is all coincidence, it is the biggest coincidence the world has ever seen.

Neurological disorders are on the rise and as more vaccines are added to the CDC’s vaccine schedule the rates of autism rise along with increased vaccinations. Before vaccines were invented, SIDS was so rare as to have gone unnamed. In fact, SIDS happened so rarely that it almost didn’t exist. Unfortunately, this is the case with countless other syndromes. The same goes for autism. Before vaccines, no one, not even the experts, knew that such a neurological disorder even existed. Other chronic conditions such as autoimmune diseases and ADHD have also been on the rise, increasing alongside the ever-growing vaccine schedule.

A vaccine is designed to agitate the immune system into developing a lasting immune response. Sometimes this backfires in the worst and most noticeable way. What often goes unnoticed are problems that don’t tightly correspond with recent vaccines. A lasting immune response could leave us with what we see today, an epidemic of chronic illnesses. A genetic epidemic is a biological impossibility. However, environmental toxins injected into the body can account for this sudden rise in chronic illnesses. It is vaccines that are causing these rising rates of chronic illness, but proving it is very difficult when the truth is overshadowed by propaganda.

Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s Research was Fraudulent

Dubbed the “father of the anti-vaccine movement”, Wakefield has been both revered and vilified, depending on which side of the argument uses his name. Ironically, he is not anti-vaccine. But he dares to criticize them, and for that he’s been vilified. Wakefield has done expert research that fully supports his argument. The Japanese only administer the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines separately, and yet no one claims all of the Japanese are fathers of anti-vaccine movements or frauds. The Japanese are also, on average, far healthier than most Westerners.

In 1998, Wakefield, Prof. John Walker Smith, Dr. Simon Burch, and 10 other co-authors published a paper in the Lancet, a British Medical Journal, which showed a possible correlation between the MMR vaccine and resultant gastrointestinal dysfunction along with developmental delays and autism. Though the paper itself did not state a conclusive causal effect, it did state the need for further study into the possibility that the MMR shot was responsible. In a radio interview, Wakefield went on to publicly bring attention to the possibility, criticizing the MMR shot and calling for separation of the three vaccines.

The publication, the publicity, and the controversy caused an uproar, which was credited with a sharp decline in vaccine compliance in the UK and to some extent in the U.S. The United Kingdom General Medical Council regulatory board (GMC) investigated and came to the conclusion, despite all evidence to the contrary, that the study and the published paper were fraudulent. The paper was retracted by the Lancet. Ten of the authors signed a letter retracting the claim that the MMR vaccine caused autism (even though the paper did not state that conclusion). Wakefield, Smith, and Burch did not sign the paper. They were brought up before the GMC on misconduct charges. Wakefield and Smith both lost their medical licenses.

In 2012, Prof. Smith won an appeal against the GMC. Although he was already retired, his license to practice medicine was restored. The reason why he was successful in getting vindicated while Wakefield was not is simple. Unlike Wakefield’s insurance, Smith’s insurance covered his expensive appeal. There was a clear ruling that the published paper and study met academic standards and that the GMC was at fault in their earlier ruling. The GMC has not taken the opportunity since then to restate Andrew Wakefield’s license or to clear his name. In order to fuel the vaccine propaganda machine, Wakefield’s work is to be unceasingly attacked, regardless of how scientifically valid it is. The same thing has been done to Judy Mikovitz , and the movie Vaxxed. In the battle for the hearts and minds of the public, open scientific discourse is widely discouraged and crushed whenever possible.

The Toxic Ingredients in Vaccines are Needed in Order to Make them Work

Since the 1800s, homeoprophylaxis, a non-toxic, safe, and effective alternative to vaccination has been in use.  Homeoprophylaxis or HP is the use of diluted and potentized disease products, called “nosodes” to elicit an immune response. Our bodies response to HP serves to educate our immune system in such a way as to make us highly resistant to the real pathogen. Homeoprophylaxis has been clinically shown to reduce the incidence of both infectious as well as chronic disease.

The goal of HP is the same as the stated goal of conventional vaccination – disease protection and improved health, but the differences are so profound as to make them a world apart. The most obvious difference is that the purity of nosodes as compared to the purity of conventional vaccines. HP nosodes contain no additives whatsoever – no antibiotics, no preservatives, no detergents, no foreign DNA, no unknown viruses, and no foreign DNA are present.

HP nosodes are administered on small sugar pellets. They dissolve on the tongue and enter the system by way of the natural route past mucous membrane. Here the natural process of disease recognition can begin in the way that Mother Nature intended. Bypassing this route by injecting a substance directly into the bloodstream is like an ambush attack to the immune system. There is no opportunity to mount a preliminary response in a biologically appropriate way. This proves that toxic ingredients are not needed to make a vaccine work.

High Vaccination Rates are Needed for “Herd Immunity”

Herd immunity does not have the narrow definition generally used today. Herd immunity as generated by vaccines has never been proven to exist, and there is no evidence that supports it. The kind of herd immunity that is evidence based is something else entirely. Real herd immunity is something that survivors of epidemics retain and pass on to their children. The survivors of plagues, both Europeans and those they encounter, all end up with some measure of herd immunity or they perish.

When the Desoto expedition first came through North America, infectious diseases came with them. Indigenous peoples of North America had no natural resistance to these diseases; they had no herd immunity. Long after the Desoto expedition was fought off, pathogenic microbes lingered, devastating the Native Americans. One disease after another spread through native cities, diseases like smallpox, cholera, typhoid fever, and so on. Europeans had centuries to develop resistance to these diseases. The Native Americans were not granted the same luxury of time. Over 90% of the North American continent’s original inhabitants were wiped out by these epidemics. Indigenous peoples of South America suffered these same ravages of disease. Thankfully, the survivors developed an increased resistance to these epidemics. The survivors had herd immunity, and this was passed on to their children. This is why their children showed resistance to European diseases and didn’t die from infectious disease 90% of the time like other natives.

No vaccines were developed that bolstered this immunity. It was and always has been an inherited resistance. Obviously, the children of those who survived diseases were more resistant to disease despite having not been previously exposed. The survival of the fittest, leaves us with herd immunity, not vaccination.

The Tetanus Vaccine Saves Lives, and is Needed Immediately Following an Injury

The cure for tetanus, a painful and potentially fatal disease, has long been pursued by medical researchers. A cure for tetanus has proven elusive, so in the absence of a cure, the medical community has latched on to the idea of prevention. So far, these efforts have proven ineffective. It is blind faith that motivates the tetanus vaccine, faith in a vaccination that has never been proven to work. Harvard trained immunologist Tetyana Obukhanych, PhD explains:

The tetanus toxin, called tetanospasmin, is produced by numerous C. tetani bacterial strains. C. tetani normally live in animal intestines, notably in horses, without causing tetanus to their intestinal carriers. These bacteria require anaerobic (no oxygen) conditions to be active, whereas in the presence of oxygen they turn into resilient but inactive spores, which do not produce the toxin. It has been recognized that inactive tetanus spores are ubiquitous in the soil. Tetanus can result from the exposure to C. tetani via poorly managed tetanus-prone wounds or cuts, but not from oral ingestion of tetanus spores. Quite to the contrary, oral exposure to C. tetani has been found to build resistance to tetanus without carrying the risk of disease[2]

Doctors typically give someone a DTaP vaccine as a treatment for tetanus infections. This is actually contraindicated. This is one of the most persistent falsehoods about vaccines, but one that can be quickly dispelled by simply reading the vaccine’s instructions. It reads:

“Tripedia vaccine is not to be used for treatment of B pertussis, C diphtheriae, or C tetani infections.” [3]

It is used in this manner anyway, despite instructions to the contrary.

You Need The DTaP Vaccine If You Are Pregnant

Whooping cough or pertussis can kill people, especially infants, but so can the DTaP vaccine, and the vaccine often does. What is an expectant mother to do? We recommend taking the time to do the research and read the vaccine warning label. It reads:

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Tripedia vaccine. It is not known whether Tripedia vaccine can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. Tripedia vaccine is NOT indicated for women of child-bearing age. [4]

Doctors recommend it anyway, even though it’s never been tested on pregnant women. The only thing that we know for sure about vaccines is that they tend to generate antibodies, but this does not equate to immunity or even resistance to infectious disease.

Conclusion

Vaccinations are an effort to eradicate infectious diseases, but sadly this effort has backfired. Diseases have become more prevalent in the young than in previous generations, and chronic illnesses are now commonplace. Measles, whooping cough, and other vaccine-preventable illnesses can and often do strike the well vaccinated.

Though governments claim it would be unethical to do a study that compared vaccinated to unvaccinated children, the reality is they would not want the public to see just how much healthier unvaccinated children truly are. Despite the supposed ethical controversy, some independent scientists are studying this. Studies have begun to emerge that show that the unvaccinated are healthier than their vaccinated peers. A study from 1992 examined the health of children in New Zealand and found that, typically, unvaccinated children had fewer chronic illnesses than vaccinated children. A similar longitudinal study out of Germany showed the same results.

Truth will win out over propaganda eventually, but it will take some time. When the news boldly proclaims that vaccines do not cause autism, they are spreading propaganda, the kind of lies that are not supported by independent science. Ironically, when parents take the time to do the research or even read a vaccine warning insert, they are often labeled conspiracy theorists. According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of a conspiracy is “a secret plan made by two or more people to do something that is harmful or illegal”. Conspiracies can and do happen. They are aided and abetted by propaganda and by the willingness of those trusting enough to deceive themselves.

Vaccines & Cognitive Dissonance – Inside the Pro-Vaxxer Mind

Along with the belief that vaccines are “safe and effective” come other beliefs. There is a belief that vaccines do not cause autism, that vaccine reactions are rare, and so on. This is what the public is told about vaccines through the mainstream media. Despite these beliefs having no basis in scientific reality, they are continually reinforced by propaganda-laden journalism.

Only six corporations control the mainstream media. Though their popularity is waning, the “mainstream media” still dominates news coverage. Many people still rely on news outlets like CNN, Fox News, USA Today, NY Times, etc. Expecting journalistic integrity, instead we are told what their advertisers want us to hear. Seventy percent of mainstream media’s advertising revenue comes from the pharmaceutical industry. That is why there are so many people under the fervent belief that vaccines have no connection with autism. These slogans are fundamentally no different than Got Milk?, McDonald’s I’m Loving It, or Coca Cola’s Can’t Beat The Real Thing. The nefarious thing is that consumers of mass media have no idea that their news reports are filled with slogans that Big Pharma wants them to hear.

Trusting in “Big Brother”

There is a prevailing belief that adverse reactions to vaccines are rare, because if they weren’t “they” wouldn’t let “them” sell dangerous vaccines. (It is true that vaccines are unprofitable in a free market. Vaccines cripple, injure and kill far too many people to be subject to the same standards of safety as everything else bought and sold in the U.S. This is why vaccine manufacturers are immune to all liability). The rational goes on. Even if vaccine manufacturers could make money selling dirty vaccines, the government would never allow it (or so goes the belief). These beliefs are not based on a critical analysis of vaccines; these beliefs are based on sound bites (even among doctors). This is why the primary message from the anti-vaccine movement has been, “Do your research.”

You Want Me To Do What?

Research is analogous to homework, and it hasn’t been very popular with Westerners. “Research” is typically limited to watching the news, or reading the newspaper. Internet research is distrusted, simply because most people do not how to check the veracity of their sources. Opinions are often formed on limited information and motivated by fear. Fear is a powerful motivator; politicians play on the public’s fears to get elected and to elicit cooperation in undermining civil liberties. Pharmaceutical companies use fear tactics to influence public opinion. Medical freedoms are more easily taken away when people are frightened. Such tactics are highly effective. The public is told if vaccination rates fall, we will see a return of global epidemics, such as the Spanish Flu or small pox. Under the shadow of this misinformation, pro-vaxxers are forming the best opinions they can, given the information available to them.

When offered peer-reviewed scientific articles, the pro-vaxxers dig in their heels.

We Are Not Going Away

Inevitably, pro-vaxxers encounter objections to vaccination. These counter arguments range from unrefined views that vaccines are bad to highly sophisticated scientific objections. The vaccine debate is framed by the mainstream media as an argument between those in the know (scientists and doctors) and those who are anti-science, stupid, or even superstitious. In truth, there are numerous doctors and scientists opposed to vaccines. There is a debate among independent scientists and industry funded scientists, not among scientifically literate and the scientifically illiterate, as the mainstream media would have us believe.

Disagreements Happen, but Are They Necessarily Productive?

No one enjoys being wrong, but many of us do enjoy proving someone else wrong. Given this basic proclivity of human nature, pro-vaccine advocates and anti-vaccine activists are bound to get into arguments. These arguments tend to have predictable beginnings and endings. Dale Carnegie may have said it best when he wrote:

Nine times out of ten, an argument ends with each of the contestants more firmly convinced than ever that he is absolutely right.

You can’t win an argument. You can’t because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it. Why? Well, suppose you triumph over the other man and shoot his argument full of holes and prove that he is non compos mentis. Then what? You will feel fine. But what about him? You have made him feel inferior. You have hurt his pride. He will resent your triumph.”

A vaccine argument usually begins with the same declarations “show me the peer reviewed academic articles” or demands of “show me the data”, even in instances when data wouldn’t really apply (such as case studies, which provide anecdotal evidence). When pro-vaxxers’ demands for scientific evidence are met, predictable objections arise.

No One Needs a “Degree from Google University”; You Just Need To Be Able To Work a Keyboard

The information is out there, and it is not hard to find. When offered peer-reviewed scientific articles, the pro-vaxxers dig in their heels. They were, after all, under the impression that such studies didn’t exist, and they do not wish to profess their ignorance. The average Westerner has not read peer-reviewed academic anything since college, but when debating the merits of vaccines most vaccine advocates are self-appointed armchair experts. It is uncomfortable to admit that your ignorance far exceeds your knowledge, so for this reason, a know-it-all approach is often adopted. If they are incapable or unwilling to attack the research based on its inadequacies (no research is perfect) they will attack the source, questioning its credibility even though they never even glanced at the information. The other option is to attack the person providing the evidence, because a meaningful exchange of ideas is beyond the maturity of most people, regardless of their views.

When pro-vaxxers are shown evidence of government corruption they simply dismiss the evidence as conspiracy theories. As if by the suggestion that something conspiratorial is taking place; that alone invalidates the argument.

Conspiracies are Actually Quite Commonplace

Webster’s defines a conspiracy as a secret plan made by two or more people to do something that is harmful or illegal, or the act of secretly planning to do something that is harmful or illegal. This may sound like a far-fetched concern to some, but it happens all the time; especially in regards to vaccines.

  • Stephen Krahling and Joan Wlochowski filed lawsuits in 2010 alleging that Merck falsified data by adding animal antibodies to blood samples. In order to protect their government approved monopoly, Merck had to demonstrate that their vaccine produced antibodies with a 95% rate of success, so they defrauded the U.S. government because that is easier than making a vaccine that reliably produces an antibody response.
  • William Thompson was a senior epidemiologist at the CDC, and he co-authored research on the MMR vaccine for the CDC in 2004. Years later he revealed data that showed that the MMR vaccine strongly correlates with autism in African American males and that the CDC concealed this information. For months the story was ignored by the mainstream media, and then only briefly reported on.
  • Judy Milkovitz made the discovery that destroyed her career. She found that at least 30% of our vaccines are contaminated with gamma retroviruses. This contamination is associated with autism, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson’s, Lou Gehrig’s disease, and Alzheimer’s. She was under the naïve impression that her due diligence (all of her work being properly reviewed, meticulously documented, etc.) would protect her from persecution, but she was mistaken.

An objective analysis reveals that conspiracies happen all the time, and that there must be something nefarious going on when it comes to vaccines. But objectivity is the exception and not the rule, the pro-vaccination advocate has never been objective about vaccines if they were, they couldn’t possibly condone their use.

A Mind Already Made Up

A confirmation bias was in place long ago, rooted in a need to trust one’s doctor. Desperately wanting to outsource responsibility for their health, patients base their medical decisions on their doctors’ recommendations, and informed consent is at the convenience of the physician. If their doctor recommends it, it’s good enough for them. (Does the doctor really want to lose a sale by explaining risk in an honest and straightforward manner?)

The pro-vaccine advocate doesn’t want to do the research. They want to be able to rely on their physician. Life and death is frightening, even terrifying. Something must be done to reduce the risk of death, so we must immunize against the threat of disease. After all, germs are everywhere. Inside the pro-vaccination mind is the devout belief that vaccination reduces the complications associated with living. It’s what most doctors recommend, so it must be the right thing to do. Ultimately, pro-vaccination logic falls prey to a logical fallacy: the appeal to authority.

When asked why they support vaccination, the vaccine advocate responds with incredulity. There is no in between to them. Vaccines are above reproach. You are either pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine, and if you’re anti-vaccine you’re against science. Vaccines are a sacrament to the pro-vaccine mind, science is the religion, and doctors are the priests. Vaccines are what saved us from the dark ages of disease, or so they believe.

Seeing What They Want To See

When shown the data, graphs that show historical rates of mortality and morbidity, pro-vaccine advocates see what they want to see. Anyone who doesn’t harbor deep-seated prejudices can see that it was improvements in sanitation and nutrition, not immunization, that eradicated disease, unless of course one is looking at a skewed graph created for vaccine propaganda.

Conclusion

Our medical system abandoned its own scientific and medical ethics decades ago. In order for science to flourish, a free exchange of ideas must take place; there is nothing in the scientific method that condones the persecution of scientists that hold differing scientific views. Most of our greatest scientific discoveries were once ridiculed, taking years to be accepted as mainstream scientific theory. Continental Drift which was later developed into Plate Tectonic Theory, Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, Galileo’s discovery of a round earth and Ignaz Semmelweis’ declaration that hygiene can save lives were met with abject persecution. In our current era of scientific illiteracy, many of these theories are still poorly understood. For instance, there are still thousands of people who ardently believe the world is flat.

Inside the pro-vaccination mind, there is a desire for simplicity and safety. It is easier to believe that vaccines are safe and effective (the Supreme Court has ruled them unavoidably unsafe) than it is to do the research. Despite feigning scientific literacy, the pro-vaxxer is unfamiliar with the counter arguments to vaccination, they simply want to shut down any discourse on vaccine safety. If anyone criticizes anything about vaccines they are deemed “anti-science”. In reality, it is the pro-vaxxer who suffers from delusional views. This is called anosognosia or lack of awareness of a deficit.

Isn’t it time to wake up? Multi-national pharmaceutical corporations don’t care about your health; they care about the bottom line. The government is not looking out for our best interests. Government workers are looking out for their own interests-as long as bribery of elected officials remains legal (aka lobbying) we will always have a corrupt system of government in place, regardless of which political party is in control. We need to be savvy consumers of news media and check their sources. We should know all about what we put into our bodies and have the freedom to decide. We are being herded into a future without freedom, not herd immunity. Check out How To Detoxify and Heal From Vaccinations – For Adults and Children and Doctor’s Against Vaccines.

Web MD’s Ties with Monsanto and Big Pharma

When we look for medical information, whether or not we embrace alternative medicine, there are a few primary sources we tend to check out for the conventional treatment and the low down on any given illness. WebMD is at, or near, the top of that list, and it is clearly one of the most popular sites on the Internet.

We expect the information given on this WebMD to be clear, correct (within the limits of conventional medicine), and unbiased. Anyone with any knowledge about the way things really work will expect Big Pharma to have undue influence over the information presented because they have undue influence over doctors and every aspect of conventional medical treatment. We don’t expect to find Monsanto and the FDA also hiding behind the curtain.

But first, more about Big Pharma. In 2010, Dr. Mercola wrote about a self-test for depression that was presented on WebMD by Eli Lilly. The problem was, even if you marked no to every indicator, the test came up with the same result – “You may be at risk for major depression.” The test was completely bogus, unethical, and irresponsible. WebMD presents itself as the unbiased 3rd party, but it isn’t.

When an article is written by a sponsor, such as Monsanto, it is labeled as such. It says, “This content is from our sponsor. The sponsor has sole editorial control.” Does the typical reader realize they are reading an article that is clearly company propaganda and not content that WebMD necessarily supports? What site that was created to give its readers information publishes content they do not agree with? We don’t!

In addition, the site is used and abused by companies like Monsanto as shown by series of emails exchanged between Monsanto and Dr. Kevin Folta of the University of Florida. Monsanto approached Folta, asking him to publish their biotech propaganda as if it were his own on WebMD. Of course, he agreed – Monsanto gives his programs money.

The final surprise is the relationship between WebMD and the FDA. According to Dr. Mercola, the FDA’s first public-private partnership was with WebMD. The FDA states on their website:

  • FDA’s Public-Private Partnerships allow the FDA to partner with any number of a wide range of other organizations including, but not limited to, patient advocacy groups, professional societies, charitable foundations, industry members, trade organizations, academic institutions and other government and state entities.
  • FDA’s Public-Private Partnerships are science-driven, aim to improve the public health, and are structured to uphold the principles of transparency, fairness, inclusiveness, scientific rigor, and compliance with Federal laws and FDA policy.

The FDA does not, however, offer a list of their partners. But that’s a bit creepy, isn’t it? That a government agency created to provide oversight actually partners with private industry? Who’s watching who?

It’s always a good idea to follow the money connected to any source. WebMD makes lots and lots of money. Averaging 210 million unique users a month with 4.25 billion page views, WebMD reported a profit of $10 million from a revenue of $143.3 million for the first quarter of 2015. So if you choose to use the site in the future, keep these facts in mind, especially if you are seeking information on any controversial subject in which the pharmaceutical companies, the biotech companies, or the FDA may share an interest.
