Preparing the ground for more whistleblowersJon Rappoport In order to help prepare the ground, some education is required. This article is a backgrounder. The intention is to sweep aside the vaccine propagandists whose main thrust is: the US medical system is excellent, just fine, science is succeeding on all fronts, so why should we doubt vaccines; dont worry, be happy. In the wake of the CDC whistleblower scandal, many such defenders of the realm have emerged. Expressing generalized outrage and disbelief, they assure us that no doctor or healthy agency would do great harm to the population. They tell us that modern medicine, in all its aspects, is a wondrous land. They assure us that whatever the whistleblower, William Thompson, is saying about published research fraud and vaccineswell, its simply wrong. All is well. Rainbows and marshmallows. How little they know. How little they care. Documents within the privileged halls of the medical establishment prove them wrong. First and foremost among these documents is Dr. Barbara Starfields stunning July 26, 2000, review, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association: Is US health really the best in the world? Proper and elite credentials were crisply present and accounted for, all the way along the line. Journal of the American Medical Association. Dr. Starfield was a widely respected public health expert, working at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Her conclusions? Every year, in the US, the medical system kills 225,000 people. Thats 2.25 MILLION killings per decade. Of these, FDA-approved medical drugs kill 106,000 Americans per year. Thats a MILLION killings per decade. In my 2009 interview with Dr. Starfield, she stated that, since her July 2000 publication, other researchers have pegged the death figures even higher. If you Google FDA, Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions, you will see, on the FDAs own website, a page where the annual 100,000-death figure is confirmed. Of course, the FDA takes absolutely no responsibility for this horrific fact. Being the sole US agency in charge of certifying drugs as safe, when those drugs kill 100,000 Americans per yearthe FDAs conscience doesnt waver an inch. To put it another way: what conscience? Want more? The citation is: BMJ June 7, 2012 (BMJ 2012:344:e3989). Author, Jeanne Lenzer. Lenzer refers to a report by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices: It calculated that in 2011 prescription drugs were associated with two to four million people in the US experiencing serious, disabling, or fatal injuries, including 128,000 deaths. The report called this one of the most significant perils to humans resulting from human activity. And here is the final dagger. The report was compiled by outside researchers who went into the FDAs own database of serious adverse [medical-drug] events. Given what Ive written here so far, alert readers will begin to wonder: how can these medical drugs kill so many people, when medical journals report, in thousands of published studies, that the drugs are safe? Ah yes: reliance on published drug-studies. The gold standard. This is what the professionals point to when challenged. This is the basis of their science. Its all a ruse. The published studies declaring the drugs safe are frauds. An insider among insiders confirms this. For 20 years, Dr. Marcia Angell was the editor of one of the most prestigious journals in the world; The New England Journal of Medicine. On January 15, 2009, the NY Review of Books published Dr. Angells devastating assessment of medical literature: It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine. (Marcia Angell, MD, Drug Companies and Doctors: A story of Corruption. NY Review of Books, Jan. 15, 2009.) Here is another quote of a similar nature, also published in the NY Review of Books (May 12, 2001, Helen Epstein, Flu Warning: Beware of Drug Companies): Heres another quote from the same article: And finally, here is yet another statement from Marcia Angell, former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine: It turns out that the informational pipeline that feeds the entire perception of pharmaceutical medicine is a rank fraud. Sowhen CDC whistleblower William Thompson made a public statement, on August 27, admitting he and his co-authors cooked and buried vital data in a 2004 Pediatrics study on the MMR vaccine and autism, and when shocked observers rushed to claim there was really no problem and the official science was safe and true and good and right, and the CDC was innocent of wrongdoing and it was all a tempest in a teacup, they were entirely ignorant of the big picture, or they were lying through their teeth. Whistleblower Thompson was merely adding one more footnote about medical fraud to a massive and growing encyclopedia of fraud. The encyclopedia stands, dust-covered, on a remote shelf. The US government, the CDC, other public health agencies, doctors, medical schools, drug companies, and those execrable corporate front mentelevision media anchorsproceed apace, praising US medical science.
