Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe

The controversial doc Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe, about the CDC's cover-up of data in a 2004 study that links MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccines to autism, will open your eyes to the corruption of a government agency whose job is to protect public welfare. Dr. Andrew Wakefield, the film's director, combines fair and balanced interviews with sources ranging from parents of autistic children who were harmed by MMR vaccines to politicians, doctors and a former pharmaceutical rep along with archival footage of congressional audio recordings of Dr. William Thompson, CDC whistleblower who called Dr. Brian Hooker, a biologist, to confess that the CDC had covered-up and even manipulated crucial data in the 2004 study. Vaxxed does bring up the fact that Dr. Wakefield was accused of fraud in his 1998 report on MMR vaccines and autism, but he was falsely accused. Unless you're made out of stone, you'll find yourself deeply moved by the interviews with the parents of children who have been injured by MMR vaccines and show clear signs of autism. The facts presented will enrage you because they show how the CDC knew that MMR vaccines are linked to autism, but did everything in their power to supress that link. You'll learn that, according to the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, pharmaceutical companies cannot be held liable for causing harm to consumers injured by MMR vaccines (in other words: you can't sue them), and that when it comes to scientific testing, MMR vaccines aren't tested as rigorously and thoroughly as pharmaceutical drugs. There are no long-term studies that have tested MMR vaccines nor are there any studies that test unvaccinated children against vaccinated children. For all of you naysayers who might be in disbelief that the CDC would not conduct such tests (doubt is a healthy reaction, after all), please click here to watch a clip of Dr. Coleen Boyle, the Director of the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities at the CDC, admitting at a congressional hearing that no vaccinated vs unvaccinated studies to test the MMR vaccine safety have been conducted yet. Vaxxed shows you in an easy-to-understand way precisely how the CDC covered-up and manipulated the data from the 2004 study, and what makes that data so crucial for the sake of public welfare to begin with. Even more enraging are the revolving doors between government and Big Pharma: Dr. Julie Louise Gerberding, the former director of the CDC during that study, now works for the pharmaceutical company Merck as President of Merck Vaccines. Merck just so happens to have an exclusive license to manufacture MMR vaccines. Make of that what you will. Not surprisingly, Dr. Gerberding declined to be interviewed. Her silence speaks louder than words, though. Big Pharma seems like a pimp while government agencies such as the CDC and even the mainstream media are essentially Big Pharma's unctuous prostitutes. Learning about the CDC's conscious decision to undermine public welfare reminds me of what Hannah Arendt wrote about the banality of evil. Many members of the CDC are merely following orders and don't even consider the option of subversively criticizing the "party line" like Dr. Thompson dared to do so bravely. How is the CDC's cover-up not a crime against humanity? If there were any justice in this world, they would be tried in the Hague. If there were indeed a Nuremberg-like trial for the CDC, it's doubtful that the excuse "I was just following orders" would be accepted. Better yet, there should be mandatory mental health assessments for all government agencies as well as politicans. Just imagine if Donald Trump were to undergo a mental health assessment! I wouldn't be surprised at all if Narcissistic Personality Disorder were a common mental illness found in our government. Regardless of where you stand on the issue of vaccines, Vaxxed will ultimately change the way you look at vaccines and the CDC as long as you're a critical thinker who's open to new information and not a "Good German." To be fair, though, the doc doesn't highlight the difference between two kinds of vaccines: vaccines that contain adjuvants and thimerosal, a preservative that contains mercury, and live, attenuated vaccines that don't have any adjuvants and preservatives. How easily can vaccines without adjuvants and preservatives be found? Are they safer than vaccines with adjuvants and preservatives? That's a minor, forgivable issue that can be solved once you do more research and ask questions after watching the film. Prepare to be concurrently enlightened, alarmed, and enraged. Instead of seeing vapid junk like Batman v. Superman (which is part of America's "bread and circuses"), see this important exposé and then decide for yourself whether or not it's worth the risk for you and your children to be injected with an MMR vaccine. If you disagree or doubt what's said in the documentary, that's alright because doubt is a healthy part of critical thinking. However, you have no right to pressure/threaton anyone to into censoring the film as long as the safety of vaccines are in question. All of the individuals in our government and Big Pharma-related agencies who have used threats to censor Vaxxed have merely brought America closer to Nazi Germany than it already is. I wouldn't be surprised if those very same individuals would have voted for Hitler and been welcomed into his Nazi party. No, that is not hyperbole, and I will not be retracting that statement even if you were to pay me $100 trillion. Oh, and a message to the cowardly members of the Immunization Action Coalition who used pressure and threats to censor Vaxxed: you will never even come close to possessing the talents of Joseph Goebbels when it comes to suppressing the truth from the public. Questions that every tax-paying American citizen should consider to ask the CDC are: 1) Why do they think that the case of MMR vaccine safety is closed without an independent study involving vaccinated vs non-vaccinated children? 2) If that study were to conclude that MMR vaccines were indeed harmful, would the CDC admit it? 3) How would that admission affect the CDC's profits as well as Big Pharma's profits? Would the CDC sacrifice significant profits for the sake of public welfare? As a taxing paying citizen, I encourage you to call the CDC and ask them those questions directly. Hopefully, they're not too busy singing the song "Edelweiss" with members of Big Pharma or the IAC. Just so you know, hydrologized gelatin, an ingredient found in adjuvanted vaccines, contains processed free glutamic acid, a.k.a. MSG, a neurotoxin.
