Government Hires Crackpot to "Study" Nonexistent Link Between Vaccines and Autism

No doubt one of your heroes...sadly:

 

"Andrew Jeremy Wakefield (born 3 September 1956^[3][4][a]) is a British fraudster, anti-vaccine activist, and disgraced former physician. He was struck off the medical register for "serious professional misconduct"^[7] due to his involvement in the fraudulent 1998 Lancet MMR autism study that falsely claimed a link between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism."

 

The publicity surrounding the study caused a sharp decline in vaccination uptake, leading to a number of outbreaks of measles around the world and many deaths therefrom.

...

 The Lancet fully retracted Wakefield's 1998 publication on the basis of the GMC's findings, noting that elements of the manuscript had been falsified and that the journal had been "deceived" by Wakefield.^[19][20] Three months later, Wakefield was struck off the UK medical register, in part for his deliberate falsification of research published in The Lancet.^[7][21] In a related legal decision, a British court held that "[t]here is now no respectable body of opinion which supports [Wakefield's] hypothesis, that MMR vaccine and autism/enterocolitis are causally linked".

I knew Andrew Wakefield - rather well ( unfortunately as it happens). He was at school with me, a couple of years ahead of me. He was a liar, a bully and a cheat back then. I make no claim to being "Tom Brown" but he was definitely the prototype for Flashman.

 

I was one of his favourite victims, and for several months he made my life a living hell. Things rather came to a head when he beat the living daylights out of me in a park on the way home from school. It required a visit to casualty, a lot of dental treatment and the loss of 3 teeth. He was the headmasters favourite, and the headmaster wanted to dismiss it as " high spirits". My father (also a schoolmaster) threatened prosecution, and the headmaster caved - he was a magistrate and the chairman of the Youth Bench. He (Wakefield) was allowed to stay at the school for his last 6 months to complete his A levels - he was clever and had very influential parents. The Headmaster was in something of a cleft stick, I suspect that he would have rather I left, ( my father threatened to take me out) but I had just won a scholarship to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst for my last two years  which would have greatly embarrassed the school!

 

When Wakefield came unstuck with his fraudulent research I must confess I opened a bottle of Champagne!

 

Central to his fraud was that he had bullied parents into allowing him to use their children for research. Leopards and spots and all that!

Whatever lies were told by what you call the left, were as nothing compared to the falsehoods told by the right. Until the vaccines came along, the rates of death between Republican leaning regions and Democratic leaning ones were very close. Once the vaccines came onto the scene, death rates diverged widely. And just to make it clear to you, the death rate was higher in Republican leaning regions. People like RFK who spread falsehoods about the vaccines have blood on their hands.

 

The left lied all the time.  Which why they have zero credibility.

What was compared is the behavior of 2 groups. One group who refused to heed Hurricane warnings and instead chose to ride out a hurricane and the other group consisted of people who refused to heed warnings to get vaccinated and instead chose to face covid unprotected. In both these cases it's behavior being compared. And in both cases the consequences of those behaviors were fatal. 

 

What you have offered here is a burning house. That's not by itself evidence of heedless behavior so why offer it as evidence?Now, let's say the residents of that house were warned by an electrician that their wiring was unsafe but they refused to heed expert advice and as a result they died in a subsequent fire. That would be analogous to the 2 cases previously cited.

The house burned down due a cigarette.   Based on your logic the person should be dined fire services and should not be admitted to the hospital.

I never claimed that someone should be denied services. My point was merely that in what is now all 3 cases this was self inflicted harm. Of course, the insurance company might have something to say about reimbursing a homeowner for carelessness with their cigarettes.

Wrong.

 

I find it totally amazing that people sit around and argue about the COVID jabs without digging a little deeper.  As if the only question was whether it was better to get the jab or not, statistically.  Propaganda really does work. 

 

I thought people were smarter than that, at this point, but apparently not.  

 

The information is out there. All you have to do is look.  Open your mind and look.  

And if anti-vaxxers had any legitimate links, they would be plastered all over the internet. Stop your gaslighting. The vaccines work and you are the one that is wrong.

As the vaccine was untested with the normal procedures it is not unreasonable to research what side effects it could cause.

You're the perfect example of what I was talking about.  Whether or not the jabs "worked."  Really?  Propaganda works. You're Exhibit No. 1. 

 

Do you even understand the term "gaslighting"? 

 

Anyway, maybe you should ask yourself who designed the COVID virus and when. Ask yourself when the COVID jabs were formulated and by whom?  Who owns the patents on the jabs? Who commissioned their manufacture, and when?  And why.  Did you ever hear the term "de-population"?  There are some very evil people out there right now that vey much want that to happen. Perhaps they succeeded.  

 

Anyway, if you fell for the scam and took an mRNA jab, it's probably too late for you.  You might have a few years left.

Programs have been slashed but somehow there's money available to do a large study on a claim that started in fraudulence and has been repeatedly tested and found wanting. Did you stop to think that the reaction might not be worry? That it might be exasperation? And to make it worse, this study will be headed by David Geier, a vaccine denialis,t who was fined for practicing medicine without a license. He was fined $10,000 for practicing quackery.  But, to be fair, he does have a B.S. in biology. 

 

"On a podcast in 2022, Mr. Kennedy credited the Geiers’ research for showing that vaccines “had nothing to do with” a decline in infectious diseases over decades...

In a review of two Geier studies this week, Jeffrey S. Morris, director of the division of biostatistics at the University of Pennsylvania, said he found what appeared to be a numerical sleight of hand that made it appear that vaccines caused a spike in autism.

“When I look at these two studies, they are so fatally flawed that I have serious concerns that any study that they’re going to design is going” to be rigorous enough, he said, “to yield valid results.”

It has already been studied many times. Further studies waste limited resources. It is time for the anti-vaxxers to shut up and go home. It only worries the gullible illiterates, like the ones killing their kids with measles.

Here is a list of vaccines that are scheduled between birth and the age of 18 in the US.

In the US, children typically receive around 16 different vaccines (with multiple doses of some) before the age of 18, according to the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule.

Total Doses

By the time a child turns 18, they receive around 50 doses of vaccines, including boosters.

Key Vaccines & Schedule

Here’s a general breakdown:

Birth – 6 Years Old:

1. Hepatitis B (HepB) – 3 doses

2. Rotavirus (RV) – 2 or 3 doses

3. Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTaP) – 5 doses

4. Haemophilus Influenzae Type B (Hib) – 3 or 4 doses

5. Pneumococcal (PCV13 or PCV15) – 4 doses

6. Polio (IPV) – 4 doses

7. Influenza (Flu) – Yearly from 6 months onward

8. Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) – 2 doses

9. Varicella (Chickenpox) – 2 doses

10. Hepatitis A (HepA) – 2 doses

7 – 18 Years Old:

11. Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Tdap) – 1 dose (booster at age 11-12)

12. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) – 2 or 3 doses (recommended at 11-12)

13. Meningococcal (MenACWY) – 2 doses (one at 11-12, booster at 16)

14. Meningococcal B (MenB) – Optional for ages 16-23 (2 doses)

15. Influenza (Flu) – Yearly doses continue

16. COVID-19 (if recommended based on current guidance)

This is the UK.

As of 2024, a child in the UK will typically receive the following vaccines before turning 18 under the NHS childhood immunisation schedule:

Birth

• Hepatitis B (if at risk, e.g., mother has hepatitis B)

8 Weeks Old

• 6-in-1 vaccine (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whooping cough (Pertussis), Polio, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), and Hepatitis B)

• Pneumococcal (PCV)

• Rotavirus (oral vaccine)

• MenB (Meningococcal B vaccine)

12 Weeks Old

• 6-in-1 vaccine (second dose)

• Rotavirus (oral, second dose)

16 Weeks Old

• 6-in-1 vaccine (third dose)

• Pneumococcal (PCV) second dose

• MenB (second dose)

1 Year Old

• Hib/MenC (combined Haemophilus influenzae type b & Meningitis C vaccine)

• MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella, first dose)

• Pneumococcal (PCV, third dose)

• MenB (third dose)

3 Years, 4 Months Old (Preschool Booster)

• MMR (second dose)

• 4-in-1 vaccine (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough, Polio booster)

12-13 Years Old (Girls and Boys)

• HPV (Human Papillomavirus, two doses, protects against cervical cancer and some other cancers)

14 Years Old (Teenage Booster)

• 3-in-1 vaccine (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Polio booster)

• MenACWY (Meningococcal groups A, C, W, and Y vaccine)

Optional Vaccines (for at-risk groups)

• Flu vaccine (offered annually to young children and at-risk teens)

• BCG (Tuberculosis vaccine) (if at high risk)

• Hepatitis B vaccine (if at high risk)

• Chickenpox vaccine (for certain at-risk children)

By 18 years old, a child in the UK will have received around 16+ different vaccines, many of them in multiple doses.

As a kid I remember a receiving a polio, diptheria, small pox and whooping cough. I had the TB test when I was 13 and didn’t receive the jab itself.

I remember being bitten by a dog so they gave me a tetanus jab. That was it.

Each one was a single dose.

A few years later if a kid in a class picked up chicken pox or mumps or measles they had parties so all the kids caught it. That probably wasn't the best move back then. One of our neighbours kids was brain damaged by measles. 

Notice that the the first two in the US receive Hepatitis B and Rotavirus can be given them from birth to six years old. That sounds a bit bonkers to me.

Of course, the anti-vaxxers should then have been denied medical assistance if they got ill from Covid. Because, obviously, one of the many reasons for people to get vaccinated was to ease the pressure on the healthcare providers.

So, no vaxx, no help. 

 

The unvaxxed are still doing fine.

 

"No vaxx, no help". So no vaxx, no requirement to pay taxes, then? Let's try to be coherent for a few seconds. Keep your money and take care of yourself. I'm in.

Whatever.  I thought most people were smarter than that at his point, but I guess not.  That's truly amazing.  Perhaps people need to somehow internally deal with the fact that they're now victims?  Keep lying to yourself if it makes you feel better.  The damage has been done, though.

For some people apparently a valid form of discourse is to ask loaded questions and provide no evidence- linked answers. You've got nothing.

I don't have to have anything.  I'm not trying to prove a point.  I'm just making an observation. The observation is that there are a lot of really gullible people who never question authority and simply follow the crowd. That's how they live. They do what they're told, they never question authority, and they're seemingly incapable of thinking for themselves. Why do that when you can just follow directions? That might actually work for them, most of the time. This time, they weren't so lucky.

 

The name of the game: depopulation.  Excess death numbers are already very very high in many parts of the world, as are cancer rates in parts of the population that shouldn't be having much cancer at all.  Young people that should be healthy coming down with colon cancer.  Cardiac issues. Blood clots, etc. Anyway, all you have to do is sit back and watch, at this point.  

 

RFK Jr. can tell anyone who wants to listen all about it.  He's not just making things up.  The facts are there.  Gain of function research at Wuhan.  Fauci's lies.  Who contracted with the drug companies to manufacture the jabs and when.  The attempted cover up of the side effects.  Trying to convince people that Ivermectin was only a "horse dewormer." Downplaying the importance of vitamin D levels, zinc, and zinc ionophores. Exaggerating the risks for younger people by playing games with the statistics on viral transmission.  

 

I assume most people here lived through the entire COVID period. How many of those people were paying attention?  How many people just believed what they were told?  As usual,  most people don't think for themselves. They think whatever the "authorities" tell them to think.  And at this late date, if they haven't put two and two together, nothing I say here will convince them they were the victims.  Apparently, that would destroy their view of the world.  

 

It's not at all hard, in retrospect, to see the lies.  

 

I thought we were past all the nonsense, but it does surprise me how many people still cling to the official narrative.  Truly amazing.    

 

In a larger sense, it would seem s though propaganda truly is a powerful tool.  May of the same people who were COVID jab victims are now out defacing Tesla's because the mainstream media tells them that Elon Musk is the great evil.  Again, people who seemingly cannot think for themselves.
