Media Control: The Vaccine Disinformation Debate
Liberal mouthpiece, FRONTLINE ran a fluff piece called FRONTLINE: The Vaccine War where the program pretended to research vaccine contreversy (but ended up creating a lengthy commercial for Big Pharma's ad agency, the CDC).
One of the doctors interviewed at length—Dr. Jay Gordon—wound up writing FRONTLINE a letter after the program aired because through clever editing, they twisted every point he tried to make to better suit the message they were pushing to sell.
His letter makes a well written argument on the topic:
One of the doctors interviewed at length—Dr. Jay Gordon—wound up writing FRONTLINE a letter after the program aired because through clever editing, they twisted every point he tried to make to better suit the message they were pushing to sell.
His letter makes a well written argument on the topic:
Accomplished
pediatrician, author, and teacher Dr. Jay Gordon has a commonsense
approach to vaccinations– and an unwillingness to be coerced into either
the “pro” or “anti” vaccine camps. PBS Frontline recently interviewed
the noted pediatrician at length for a show called “The Vaccine War.”
Although Dr. Gordon spent hours interviewing with Frontline, PBS
producers omitted not only 100% of his interview but the entire “third
camp” approach to vaccinations. It is obvious that PBS wanted to create
a simple tabloid news piece with the all-knowing doctors on one side
vs. crazed parents on the other.
This is disturbing. It is even more disturbing given the level of financial support provided to public television by drug and related companies. You won’t easily find information about drug company support for public television on the internet. But you can find some of it on a fundraising website run by WGBH, the public station that produces Frontline: www.SGPTV.org.
ANH-USA reprints Dr. Gordon’s letter to PBS Frontline in its entirety for your review, because it provides excellent information on whether to vaccinate your children, and it serves as a reminder that the media cannot be trusted to report accurately on this issue. PBS’ actions are inexcusable. Please join us in telling PBS Frontline that the show’s biased presentation on vaccines is totally unacceptable and that the show has an obligation at least to put Dr Gordon’s information on the website. Take action now.
Shame on PBS Frontline, ” The Vaccine War”, by Dr. Jay Gordon
“Last night, PBS aired a show called “The Vaccine War.” I was interviewed at great length and in great depth about vaccines and my point of view and expressed my ambivalence about the polarization of this issue and the need for more calm reasoned discussion about the number one question that new parents have. I told Kate McMahon, the co-producer of the show, that there was a large group of doctors and others who cannot be dismissed with the facile label “anti-vaccine” because we still give vaccines and see a place for them in the practice of medicine, but we do not agree with the current vaccine schedule nor the number of vaccines children receive all at one time.
A few days ago, Ms.McMahon emailed me to tell me that the decision had been made to omit my interview from the show. There would not be one word from me. She didn’t tell me that she had also omitted 100% of Dr. Robert Sears’ interview. And that any other comments from physicians supporting the parents on the show in their ambivalence about vaccines or their decision to refuse all vaccines would also be omitted.
She left this as a show with many doctors commenting very negatively, very frighteningly and often disdainfully and dismissively about vaccine “hesitation” as they called it.”
Below is my email response to Kate McMahon.
Dear Kate,
The “Frontline” show was disgraceful. You didn’t even have the courtesy to put my interview or any part of the two hours we spent taping on your web site.
You created a pseudo-documentary with a preconceived set of conclusions: “Irresponsible moms against science” was an easy takeaway from the show.
Did you happen to notice that Vanessa, the child critically ill with pertussis, was not intubated nor on a respirator in the ER? She had nasal “prongs” delivering oxygen. I’m sorry for her parents’ anxiety and very happy that she was cured of pertussis. But to use anecdotal reports like this as science is irresponsible and merely served the needs of the doctor you wanted to feature.
No one pursued Dr. Offit’s response about becoming rich from the vaccine he invented. He was allowed to slide right by that question without any follow up. Dr. Paul Offit did not go into vaccine research to get rich. He is a scientist motivated by his desire to help children. But his profiting tens of millions of dollars from the creation of this vaccine and the pursuit of sales of this and other vaccines is definitely not what he says it is. His many millions “don’t matter” he says. And you let it go.
Jenny McCarthy resumed being a “former Playboy” person and was not acknowledged as a successful author, actress and mother exploring every possible avenue to treating her own son and the children of tens of thousands of other families.
I trusted you by giving you two or three hours of my time for an interview and multiple background discussions. I expressed my heartfelt reservations about both vaccines and the polarizing of this issue into “pro-vaccine” and “anti-vaccine” camps. I told you that there was at least a third “camp.” There are many doctors and even more parents who would like a more judicious approach to immunization. Give vaccines later, slower and with an individualized approach as we do in every other area of medicine.
What did you create instead?
“The Vaccine War.”
A war. Not a discussion or a disagreement over facts and opinions, but a war. This show was unintelligent, dangerous and completely lacking in the balance that you promised me–and your viewers–when you produced and advertised this piece of biased unscientific journalism. “Tabloid journalism” I believe is the epithet often used. Even a good tabloid journalist could see through the screed you’ve presented.
You interviewed me, you spent hours with Dr. Robert Sears of the deservedly-illustrious Sears family and you spoke to other doctors who support parents in their desire to find out what went wrong and why it’s going wrong and what we might do to prevent this true epidemic.
Not a measles epidemic, not whooping cough. Autism. An epidemic caused by environmental triggers acting on genetic predisposition. The science is there and the evidence of harm is there. Proof will come over the next decade. The National Children’s Study will, perhaps by accident, become a prospective look at many children with and without vaccines. But we don’t have time to wait for the results of this twenty-one year research study: We know that certain pesticides cause cancer and we know that flame retardants in children’s pajamas are dangerous. We are cleaning up our air and water slowly and parents know which paint to buy and which to leave on the shelves when they paint their babies’ bedrooms.
The information parents and doctors don’t have is contained in the huge question mark about the number of vaccines, the way we vaccinate and the dramatic increase in autism, ADD/ADHD, childhood depression and more. We pretend to have proof of harm or proof of no harm when what we really have is a large series of very important unanswered questions.
In case you were wondering, as I practice pediatrics every day of my career, I base nothing I do on Dr. Wakefield’s research or on Jenny McCarthy’s opinions. I respect what they both have done and respectfully disagree with them at times. I don’t think that Dr. Wakefield’s study proved anything except that we need to look harder at his hypothesis. I don’t think that Jenny McCarthy has all the answers to treating or preventing autism, but there are tens of thousands of parents who have long needed her strong high-profile voice to draw attention to their families’ needs: Most families with autism get inadequate reimbursement for their huge annual expenses and very little respect from the insurance industry, the government or the medical community. Jenny has demanded that a brighter light be shone on their circumstances, their frustration and their needs.
I base everything I do on my reading of CDC and World Health Organization statistics about disease incidence in the United States and elsewhere. I base everything I do on having spent the past thirty years in pediatric practice watching tens of thousands of children get vaccines, not get vaccines and the differences I see.
Vaccines change children.
Most experts would argue that the changes are unequivocally good. My experience and three decades of observation and study tell me otherwise. Vaccines are neither all good–as this biased, miserable PBS treacle would have you believe–nor all bad as the strident anti-vaccine camp argues.
You say the decisions to edit 100% of my interview from your show (and omit my comments from your website) “were purely based on what’s best for the show, not personal or political, and the others who didn’t make it came from both sides of the vaccine debate.” You are not telling the truth. You had a point to prove and removed material from your show which made the narrative balanced. “Distraught, confused moms against important, well-spoken calm doctors” was your narrative with a deep sure voice to, literally, narrate the entire artifice.
You should be ashamed of yourself, Kate. You knew what you put on the air was slanted and you cheated the viewers out of an opportunity for education and information. You cheated me out of hours of time, betrayed my trust and then you wasted an hour of PBS airtime. Shame on you.
The way vaccines are manufactured and administered right now in 2010 makes vaccines and their ingredients part of the group of toxins which have led to a huge increase in childhood diseases including autism. Your show made parents’ decisions harder and did nothing except regurgitate old news.
Parents and children deserve far better from PBS.
Thank you, Dr. Gordon, for stepping in where PBS failed, to share important information with all of us about the options that exist for new parents who are concerned about vaccinating their children.
PBS’ actions are inexcusable.
Please join us in demanding that Frontline present Dr. Gordon’s interview accurately and honestly on their website. Take Action.

The Nine Deaths of Osama Bin Laden
James Corbett
The Corbett Report
May 2, 2011
When Obama pronounced Osama Bin Laden dead in a televised announcement heard round the world last night, he was at least the ninth major head of state or high-ranking government official to have done so.
Given Bin Laden’s documented kidney problems and consequent need for dialysis, government officials, heads of state and counterterrorism experts have repeatedly opined that Osama Bin Laden has in fact been dead for some time. These assertions are based on Bin Laden’s failing health in late 2001 and visible signs of his deteriorating condition, as well as actual reports of his death from the same time frame.
In July of 2001, Osama Bin Laden was flown to the American Hospital in Dubai for kidney treatment. According to French intelligence sources, he was there met by the local CIA attache. When the agent bragged about his encounter to friends later, he was promptly recalled to Washington.
On the eve of September 11, Osama Bin Laden was staying in a Pakistani military hospital under the watchful eye of Pakistan’s ISI, the Pakistani equivalent of the CIA with deep ties to the American intelligence community.
In October 2001, Bin Laden appeared in a videotape wearing army fatigues and Islamic headdress, looking visibly pale and gaunt. In December of 2001, another videotape was released, this time showing a seriously ill Bin Laden who was seemingly unable to move his left arm.
Then on December 26, 2001, Fox News reported on a Pakistan Observer story that the Afghan Taliban had officially pronounced Osama Bin Laden dead earlier that month. According to the report, he was buried less than 24 hours later in an unmarked grave in accordance with Wahabbist Sunni practices.
What followed was a string of pronouncements from officials affirming what was already obvious: supposedly living in caves and bunkers in the mountainous pass between Afghanistan and Pakistan, Osama would have been deprived of the dialysis equipment that he required to live.
On January 18, 2002, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf announced quite bluntly: “I think now, frankly, he is dead.”
On July 17, 2002, the then-head of counterterrorism at the FBI, Dale Watson, told a conference of law enforcement officials that “I personally think he [Bin Laden] is probably not with us anymore,” before carefully adding that “I have no evidence to support that.”
In October 2002, Afghan President Hamid Karzai told CNN that “I would come to believe that [Bin Laden] probably is dead.”
In November 2005, Senator Harry Reid revealed that he was told Osama may have died in the Pakistani earthquake of October that year.
In September 2006, French intelligence leaked a report suggesting Osama had died in Pakistan.
On November 2, 2007, former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto told Al-Jazeera’s David Frost that Omar Sheikh had killed Osama Bin Laden.
In March 2009, former US foreign intelligence officer and professor of international relations at Boston University Angelo Codevilla stated: “All the evidence suggests Elvis Presley is more alive today than Osama Bin Laden.”
In May 2009, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari confirmed that his “counterparts in the American intelligence agencies” hadn’t heard anything from Bin Laden in seven years and confirmed “I don’t think he’s alive.”
Now in 2011, President Obama has added himself to the mix of people in positions of authority who have pronounced Osama Bin Laden dead. Some might charge that none of the previous reports had any credibility, but as it is now emerging that Osama’s body was buried at sea less than 12 hours after his death with no opportunity for any independent corroboration of his identity, the same question of credibility has to be leveled at this latest charge. To this point, the only evidence we have been provided that Osama Bin Laden was killed yesterday are some images on tv of a burning compound and the word of the man currently occupying the oval office.
But given that an informed consensus has formed around the opinion that Bin Laden died long ago due to kidney failure, will the people of America hold their President to the highest standard in presenting evidence that the person killed was actually Osama Bin Laden, and that he actually died in the way described, or will this pronouncement go unquestioned like so many other deaths in the never ending war of terror?
Stay tuned for more on this story as it develops…

More Proof of Vaccine Harm Quietly Slips Through the Media
This news broke on September 10th ...the BIGGEST health story in the USA over the last 20 years ... the connection between vaccines and autism !!!!
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20015982-10391695.html
http://video.foxnews.com/v/4336206/proof-of-vaccine-autism-link-/?playlist_id=87937
http://www.ajc.com/health/settlement-reached-in-autism-611234.html
ABC News, NBC News, CNN, USA Today, New York Times, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, etc ... WHERE THE HELL WERE THEY?!?!?!!?
However, when Big Pharma PR Reps and lobbyists wrote up some Damage Control and wrote this little gem:
http://health.yahoo.net/news/s/hsn/moreevidencethatvaccinesdontcauseautism
notice it being blasted on Yahoo and consequently Facebook and other social networking sites. Interesting how that works...
Parents be wary before allowing any unknown chemicals to be shot into your children. Research the ingredients and weigh the pros and cons.
http://www.vaclib.org/toc.htm#ingredients
Look into the numbers of people effected by the illnesses being vaccinated against vs. the people made ill by side effects of the vaccines.
http://www.nvic.org/default.aspx
Check into both sides of the argument. Search the motives and biases of the content you find. Investigate the giant increase in the amount of vaccines now compared to 20 years ago.
Investigate the rest of the world, who do not use vaccines like we do in the States and how their health compares. Talk to other parents who have not vaccinated and compare their children's immunity to others who have gotten non-stop immunity rerouting boosters.
And lastly, if you go the vaccine route, try and get your pediatrician to sign this: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/03/03/A-Vaccine-Form-You-Can-Give-to-Your-Pediatrician.aspx

Throwback
A friend of mine just brought this to my attention. It's a bit of an old clip now, but inspiring nonetheless. I really enjoyed the way Jones took control and ran his points right over the newscaster's attempt at direct the interview.
Certainly, an oldie but goodie

Another Candidate Victimized in the War on Truth
Debra Medina, a candidate for the office of governor in Texas was on the Glenn Beck Radio show the other day. As he usually does, Beck used the time to immediately discredit the free-thinking candidate and obscure her back into the shadows. You may have remembered Beck as being instrumental in the removal of Van Jones from his position back in September of 2009.
Notice in this "interview" that Medina is only on for a very short time, and that NONE of the questions posed by Beck relate to her stance on any state issues whatsoever. Instead, puppet Beck decided to accuse Medina as some kind of Truth Movement apologist (which was inevitably followed-up by crony PR smear campaigns).
Caught of guard, Medina fumbled her answer to the accusation and instead of proudly questioning the motive of the question publicly, she answered as politically-minded as possible and answered the claim by saying things like, "there's not enough evidence to take a side on the 9/11 issue."
My first reaction was that of disgust for the likes of Glenn Beck for being so far off topic and participating (as usual) as an agent against free thought. However, after reading this response posted immediately after the interview on Debra Medina's website, I became disenchanted in her as a candidate. There, Medina said, "Muslim terrorists flew planes into those buildings on 9/11. I have not seen any evidence nor have I ever believed that our government was involved or directed those individuals in any way."
She goes on to say, "The real underlying question here, though, is whether or not people have the right to question our government...It is absolutely the right and duty of a free people to question their government. Texas does not need another politician who tells you what you want to hear."
She is right about that - Texas, nor any other state, deserve another political machine telling the public what they want to hear - which is why I am hopeful that a real soldier of the Truth Movement (one with a lot more integrity) steps up to the plate before it's too late.

Sports - The Opiate of the Masses
Watch what happens to Free Speech once the O-bomb get's dropped!
Mark has a great point folks. There are far too many people out there (mostly men) that know every statistic about all of the players on their favorite sports teams. They tune in religiously to the events on television and talk the game all day at work and in the bars. The human mind has a limited amount of real estate people! Check to see where you sell yours to.
