Obama Administration Launches Deceptive Swine Flu Propaganda

President Obama and his top health officials are
engaging in a major public relations effort to divert attention
away from whether its swine flu vaccine is effective and safe
– to whether there is enough of it to go around. And the
media, as always, is cooperating fully. This echoes the way
media debate was manipulated during the Vietnam and Iraq Wars.
Instead of debating whether we should even be fighting those
wars, the media debated only whether we were using the correct
military strategy.
Increasing numbers of scientists and doctors are issuing harsh
criticisms of the Government’s plan to vaccinate (forcibly
if necessary) virtually the entire U.S. population with what
they claim is a poorly tested vaccine that is not only ineffective
against swine flu, but could cripple and even kill many more
people than it helps.
The CDC’s public relations campaign has been running
“scare” ads that portray swine flu as a full-blown
“pandemic” responsible for snuffing out countless
lives, and which, unless stopped by universal vaccination, could
kill millions of American citizens. But scientists and health
officials throughout the world have called the governments claims
unjustified and deliberately misleading.
For example, Dr. Anthony Morris, a distinguished virologist
and former Chief Vaccine Office at the U.S. Federal Drug Administration
(FDA), states that “There is no evidence that any influenza
vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating
any attack of influenza” and that “The producers
of these vaccines know they are worthless, but they go on selling
them anyway.”
And in November 2007, the UK newspaper The Scotsman, made public
warnings by the inventor of the “flu jab,” Dr. Graeme
Laver. Dr. Laver was a major Australian scientist involved in
the invention of a flu vaccine, in addition to playing a leading
scientific role in the discovery of anti-flu drugs. He went
on record as saying the vaccine he helped to create was ineffective
and [that] natural infection with the flu was safer. “I
have never been impressed with its efficacy,” said Dr.
Laver.
We hear the assumption being made by the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) that the number of deaths from the H1N1 virus
is at pandemic levels and now a “national emergency.”
One would assume that with all of its resources, the New York
Times’ October 26 front page story on the CDC’s
statistics would be accurate: 20,000 hospitalizations and 1,000
deaths due to the swine flu. However, this is all fiction. And
it is a fiction solely based upon the CDC’s own contradictory
statements and actions.
Our independent investigations into the clinical trials and
statistical studies of influenza vaccines reveal glaring discrepancies.
Let us not forget that it is this same New York Times, with
its “star” reporter Judith Miller, who led America
into believing that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass
destruction, tried to purchase yellow cake uranium from Niger,
and had dealings with al-Qaeda. And let us also remember that
it is the same CDC and health officials in Washington, including
President Ford and his top health advisor Joseph Califano, who
pushed through and propagandized an untested vaccine during
the 1976 swine flu scare, which resulted in thousands of severely
neurologically damaged Americans and about 500 reported deaths.
Aside from permanent paralysis, many of these vaccine victims
also underwent torturous processes for many years to get the
government to recognize their illnesses and help cover their
costs. Not only was the CDC’s prediction and vaccination
campaign for the 1976 flu season a total disaster, it also turned
into a deadly scandal, witnessed across the United States on
60 Minutes when Dr. David Sencer, then head of the CDC, confirmed
that the vaccine was never field tested, that there were only
several reported incidents of H1N1 infection and none of these
had been officially confirmed, and then lied about the CDC having
no prior evidence that the swine flu vaccine could cause severe
and permanent neurological damage. The end result from the 1976
debacle cost the government $3.5 billion in damages, two-thirds
were for severe neurological injury and death directly due to
the CDC’s vaccination campaign.
Therefore, being anti-vaccine or pro-vaccine is not the most
urgent issue. What is critical is whether or not there is legitimate,
sound science to support either position; in this regard, the
vaccine manufacturers and our federal health agencies have failed
in the past, and continue to fail today. And they fail dismally.
There is absolutely no evidence for sound-scientific protocol
or anything resembling a gold-standard behind the swine flu
infection statistics and vaccine efficacy and safety clinical
trials to support Obama’s and his health advisors’
claims. Instead, the reports on hospitalizations and deaths
due to the H1N1 virus are grossly distorted. What we are really
witnessing is “official” science and statistics
that are little more than propaganda.
One unfortunate development over the years is the notion that
there is such a thing as a “flu season.” The truth
is that we move annually into periods where there are dramatic
increases in flu-like causing pathogens, however, the majority
of these are unrelated to any strain of influenza virus. There
can between 150 and 200 different infectious pathogens—adenovirus,
rhinovirus, parainfluenza, the very common coronavirus and,
of course, pneumonia—that produce flu-like symptoms, and
worse, during a “flu season.” For example, how many
people have heard of bocavirus, which is responsible for bronchitis
and pneumonia in young children, or metapneumovirus, responsible
for more than 5 percent of all flu-related illnesses? This is
true during every flu season and this year is no different.
Furthermore, all flu vaccinations, including the swine flu,
are useless for protecting people from these many prevalent
infectious organisms.
If we take the combined figure of flu and pneumonia deaths
for the period of 2001, and add a bit of spin to the figures,
we are left believing that 62,034 people died from influenza.
The actual figures determined by Peter Doshi, then at Harvard
University, are 61,777 died from pneumonia and only 257 from
flu. Even more amazing, among those 257 cases only 18 were confirmed
positive for influenza. A separate study conducted by the National
Center for Health Statistics for the flu periods between 1979
through 2002 revealed the true range of flu deaths were between
257 and 3006, for an average of 1,348 per year.
The recent CBS Investigative Report, published on October 21,
is one example. After the CDC refused to honor CBS’s Freedom
of Information request to receive flu infection data for each
individual state, the network performed independent outreach
to all fifty states to get their statistics. Their report contradicts
dramatically the CDC’s public relations blitz. For example,
in California, among the approximate 13,000 flu-like cases,
86 percent tested negative for any flu strain. In Florida, out
of 8,853 cases, 83 percent were negative. In Georgia and Alaska,
only 2.4 percent and 1 percent respectively tested positive
for flu virus among all reported flu-like cases. If the infectious-rate
ratios obtained by CBS are accurate, the CDC’s figures
are significantly reduced and agree with earlier predictions
that the H1N1 virus will be simply an unwelcomed annoyance.
So we are in the midst of an enormous medical hoax, a design
and purpose that has yet to unfold completely, that will nevertheless
reap huge revenues for the vaccine industrial complex.
Another example is a recent alarmist report issuing from Georgetown
University, also usurped by federal health officials and their
multimedia comrades to fuel a campaign of fear and panic. The
report announced that over 250 students were infected by swine
flu when in fact none of these students were tested for H1N1
infection. The university’s figure was based solely on
a count of student visits to the health clinic and calls into
an H1N1 hotline.
This is not the first time the CDC’s predictions for
influenza strains have been overstated and miscalculated. In
an interview on Swedish television, Dr. Tom Jefferson, head
of vaccine studies at the prestigious international Cochrane
Database Collaboration, after reviewing hundreds of influenza
studies and statistical analyses, has said the WHO’s and
CDC’s “performance is not very good.” And
in an ITN News interview last month, Jefferson called the swine
flu pandemic a “juggernaut they [the WHO, government agencies
and vaccine makers] created.” For the 1992-1993 season,
the prediction was off by 84 percent. For the 1994-1995 season,
it was off 43 percent for the primary strain and off 87 percent
and 76 percent for two other strains. The Laboratory Center
for Disease Control’s study comparing vaccine strains
with the strains appearing during the 1997-1998 season found
the match was off by 84 percent. Again Dr. Jefferson in a Der
Spiegel interview remarked,
“there are some people who make predictions year after
year, and they get worse and worse. None of them so far have
come about, and these people are still there making these predictions.
For example, what happened with the bird flu, which was supposed
to kill us all?.... Swine flu could have even stayed unnoticed
if it had been caused by some unknown virus rather than an influenza
virus… An influenza vaccine is not working for the majority
of influenza-like illnesses because it is only designed to combat
influenza viruses. For that reason, the vaccine changes nothing
when it comes to the heightened mortality rate during the winter
months.”
Our review of all clinical trial studies conducted by the H1N1
vaccine makers for pre-licensing in the American market—CSL,
Novartis, Sanofi-Pasteur, Medimmune and now GlaxoSmithKline—reveals
they were poorly designed and feebly executed. Any professor
in molecular biology or virology would fail a graduate student
who presented a paper relying on research conducted in the manner
of the studies the vaccine corporations submit to the FDA. Nevertheless,
it is this lack of sound randomized, double-blind controlled
placebo studies, particularly for inactivated virus vaccines,
that our government is declaring definitive and is using to
justify mass vaccination of our population.
Last week, Switzerland’s health authorities rejected
Novartis’ new swine flu vaccine, Celtura, being targeted
for women and children, because the company’s studies
were insufficient to guarantee its safety. In addition, the
new Novartis vaccine, which uses a cell base from dogs, was
found to be contaminated with canine-specific bacteria. The
Swiss newspaper, Tagesanzeiger, also noted there remains some
suspicion that Novartis’ new vaccine may be a repackaging
of an earlier 2008 vaccine responsible for killing almost two
dozen homeless people during an illegal clinical trial in Poland.
This is the same Novartis whose Fluvirin H1N1 vaccine being
distributed in the US relied only on a hasty clinical efficacy
and safety trial enrolling only a small number of health adults.
Novartis likely remains unperturbed. The Swiss pharmaceutical
giant has reported a $6.1 billion profit so far this year and
expects to boost sales for the final quarter with is swine flu
vaccine.
In July, the CDC announced it would cease testing and counting
H1N1 virus infections. Their public reason was simply that they
are convinced there is a pandemic and, therefore, accurate monitoring
was unnecessary. On August 30, the CDC declared the states should
report influenza and pneumonia-associated hospitalizations and
deaths together, not singling out actual cases of H1N1 infection
if there happen to be any actually confirmed from a laboratory.
This has always been the CDC’s policy, and the 36,000
figure of annual flu deaths repeated ad nausea on their website
and spewed from the media’s health pulpits for several
years straight, does not distinguish between pneumonia, influenza
and other flu-like pathogenic deaths. Perhaps it would make
very little difference because the current rapid diagnostic
tests for the H1N1 virus can range in only 10-50 percent accuracy.
Elsewhere in the world, particularly in Europe, civilians are
increasingly rejecting the H1N1 vaccine. Recent polls in Germany
and Austria show only 13 and 18 percent respectively willing
to take the shot. In Sweden, four vaccine related deaths have
been announced and almost 200 healthcare workers have reported
becoming more seriously ill from the vaccination than they might
have from a flu infection. In the US, anywhere from 90-99 percent
of adverse events go unreported.
If people would simply shut off the CDC’s supported propaganda
noise being blasted across the airwaves and newspapers—
the spectacle of newscasters being inoculated, interviews with
government health officials or private doctors and academics
receiving consultation fees from drug makers, and the drivel
of the New York Times—and simply do their homework, Americans
would wake up and realize the hoax behind the swine flu pandemic.
All of the information is before us. Nothing is hidden. All
the contradictions and hypocrisies are contained within the
massive vaccine industrial complex—including the government
health agencies and professional medical associations. The lie
is too large for them to not expose themselves if we simply
look.
