    I find it ironic that the media, the British government, and leaders in medical academia jumped on board attacking and destroying Dr. Andrew Wakefield's reputation based on "fraud" charges related to a study he conducted about the link between the measles vaccine and autism.
    It is ironic for a number of reasons. How can the British government, itself drowning in deception at every level, dare accuse anyone of fraud?
    The panel assembled by the government and academia to judge Wakefield, ironically, dares to speak of fraud, yet their main complaint is that his findings "might endanger the 'sacrosanct' vaccine program," not that his principal findings were wrong. In fact, several independent researchers found the same measles vaccine-related colitis that he described.
    A recently released charge by the BMJ editors is that Wakefield was poised to get huge profits from a product stemming from his research results. I am not here to defend Wakefield, rather, I demonstrate the double standard regularly practiced by his vocal critics.
    Virtually every paper published on drugs, such as statins, is authored by individuals having financial links to as many as three to four pharmaceutical companies each. The same is true of papers published by major journals extolling vaccine efficacy and safety. They know these papers violate every ethical principle known, yet they are published in some of the most prestigious journals.
    Abundant evidence has shown that these very same people destroy the reputations of anyone producing evidence, no matter how well researched and of the highest ethical standards, if it in any way endangers this vaccine program. It is ironic that these accusers speak of "blatant fraud," when virtually all of the vaccine safety evidence they use abundantly is fraudulent by careful design.

Scare Tactics
    Ironically, even their outcry of the effect of Wakefield's paper is deceitful. They scream that it caused vaccine rates to fall below the 80 percent level needed for "herd immunity," when they know that no one has ever proven his paper was the cause.
    A growing number of British have suffered from vaccine complications, and they are rightly concerned about vaccine safety. When there was a small outbreak of measles in this country, as few as 300 cases, they screamed it was an epidemic and millions were at risk of dying. In fact, in similar outbreaks studies found that 90 percent of the affected children had been fully or partially vaccinated, and most had mild infections.
    When I grew up there was no measles vaccine and everyone in my class got the measles and no one died or suffered serious harm. To imply our society is at risk of millions of deaths should vaccine rates drop is a blatant lie used to scare parents into over-vaccinating their children. They use the same scare tactics based on manipulated data to terrify the elderly into getting a flu shot every year.
    Even this year, after we witnessed a 20-fold increase in miscarriages and stillbirths among women vaccinated with the H1N1 vaccine last year, public heath officials are strongly suggesting that pregnant women be vaccinated with both the H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccines. Dr. Garry Goldman, who has done a comprehensive analysis of this event, calls the government's actions "an act of willful misconduct."

Manipulating 'Safety' Studies
    Anyone analyzing the "vaccine safety studies" done by vaccine makers and vaccine proponents can see that they were purposely designed to show safety by omitting people in the study who truly reflected the population being vaccinated and who were, by all standards of science, at risk of harm by the vaccines.
    They do studies that use as placebo controls people injected with a vaccine adjuvant. Placebos are supposed to be completely inert. The evidence shows that the greatest danger from vaccines is from the vaccine adjuvant -- so, how can they use adjuvant-injected people as controls? Yet, all of their studies used such vaccinated controls -- this is blatantly manipulated, and they know it.
    The studies that are quoted endlessly by these elite members of academia and government agencies and used to close the door on the vaccine connection to neurodevelopmental problems are purposefully designed so as to suggest no link between vaccines and any complication.
    This falsified research is protected by academia, the media, and government agencies. Yet, they have the audacity to stand in judgment of Wakefield. This is not to say that Wakefield should be free of scrutiny -- all researchers should be carefully scrutinized for bias.
    Yet, why is there no open disclosure as to the connections between the rabid media, the investigating panel, the Lancet and BMJ journal editors, reporter Brian Deer, the British government, and the manufacturers of vaccines? When one examines these articles professing to prove the lack of a connection between vaccines and neurodevelopmental disorders, it is shocking to see that virtually all of the authors have extensive financial connections to the pharmaceutical vaccine makers.
    These same companies advertise heavily on all of the major media outlets and the media understands very well that reports endangering vaccine sales can mean a huge loss of advertising revenue. This constitutes deception on a grand scale -- and it is practiced every day in this country and the UK.
    So, why is Wakefield being attacked and his reputation ruined -- especially for an article written 13 years ago? For several reasons, all of which involved the makers of vaccines. Vaccines generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue for pharmaceutical manufacturers every year.
    The H1N1 vaccine alone generated $1.5 billion in addition to the $1 billion generated by the seasonal flu vaccine, neither of which has been shown to be either effective or safe. You have been told this safety and efficacy has been scientifically shown, when this is a shocking, provable lie.

Silencing the Dissenters
    By careful manipulation of the media, the pharmaceutical companies have created the illusion that the entire link between vaccines and neurodevelopmental brain damage is hinged solely on Wakefield's article, implying there is no other evidence suggesting a powerful link.
    Nothing could be further from the truth. I have written seven peer-reviewed articles and co-authored a recent ebook that makes a powerful scientific case for such a link. A growing number of researchers have also supplied hard data from very carefully done research that strongly suggest a link.
    The defenders of vaccine policy used in the United States and the UK have used poorly done, obviously manipulated studies to make their case. If we use the same judgmental standards they used against Wakefield, they would be seen to be guilty of gross misconduct and, most importantly, of endangering the public at large.
    Now, by destroying Wakefield's reputation and accusing him of "crimes against humanity," they hope to silence any further research in this area. It has the ring of old Soviet-style intimidation and the fear tactics the KGB used against dissidents.

The Case Against Vaccines
    The truth is that the Wakefield article's main theme was that they found bowel inflammation (colitis) in a small number of children vaccinated with the live measles vaccine and that the inflammation was caused by the measles virus from the vaccine itself.
    He only proposed, almost in passing, that there might be a link between such bowel inflammation and autism, which is perfectly reasonable, ethical, and supported by other neuroscience research. I can cite hundreds of reputable articles in the medical literature that make similar proposals about less-controversial issues and are never questioned because they do not endanger pharmaceutical company profits.
    The truth is that the case against the present vaccine schedule is very powerful and built on the findings of some of the most prestigious researchers in the world. The problem is the media and academia are so controlled by the pharmaceutical giants that the general public has no idea that this research even exists.
    It is now known in the research world that questioning vaccine safety is a career killer. Researchers who dare to do so have been fired, denied research grants, their articles are rejected by the more "prestigious" science journals, and they are no longer invited to speak at national meetings. The atmosphere of fear is pervasive -- all generated by the pharmaceutical giants and their minions.
    By destroying reputations and stopping further research, pharmaceutical-controlled vaccine proponents hope to have a national law mandating all people receive every vaccine recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is under the absolute control of the vaccine manufacturers.
    The data demonstrates that millions of people are seriously injured and thousands die as a result of vaccine complications every year. In many cases the damage caused by the vaccines exceed the risk of the disease being vaccinated against -- such as is the case with the chickenpox, tetanus, measles, mumps, hepatitis B, and HPV vaccines.
    The United States is the most over-vaccinated country in the world and evidence is growing that we are trading an "illusion of protection" by vaccines for a massive increase in vaccine-related chronic diseases.
    The entire vaccine program is based on massive fraud. The so-called H1N1 "pandemic" is a case in point. Even the World Health Organization declared there was a "huge amount" of uncertainty in the seriousness of the "pandemic," which turned out to be far less deadly than initially feared.
    The WHO admitted it mishandled the so-called pandemic and failed to convey its uncertainty to the public. Yet the CDC, the media, medical academia, and the pharmaceutical vaccine manufacturers all participated in this deception.
    It is time to wake up and call for some accountability; otherwise the vaccine program will never be safe.
