Thread: CDC Caught Red-Handed Exaggerating Flu Cases and Deaths

CDC Caught Red-Handed Exaggerating Flu Cases and Deaths

One of the many side effects of the government putting itself into the flu vaccine business is that it is not providing honest statistics.

In October 2013, nineteen-year-old Chandler Webb of Utah received a flu shot. A week later, he slipped into a coma. A month later—after his brain swelled so severely that it crushed his brainstem—he died. His mother attributes his death to the flu shot.
This is, of course, what scientists call “anecdotal evidence.” Even murkier is the potential brain or neurological damage to millions of children and adults from the mercury used as a flu shot preservative.
Clearly it would help to have honest flu case, flu mortality, and damage statistics to help sort out these complicated issues. Unfortunately, we aren’t getting them.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has claimed that over 200,000 Americans are hospitalized and 36,000 die from the flu each year. However, Dr. Joseph Mercola’s investigation of inflated flu shot statistics revealed that the hospitalization estimate includes not just those who are hospitalized with flu, but for pneumonia, respiratory, and even heart conditions.
The CDC’s annual hospitalization statistic is untrustworthy for another startling reason. The CDC’s 2012 to 2013 season analysis states that it determines its flu-associated hospitalization rates from the data provided by the Emerging Infections Program (EIP). However, the EIP only reports hospitalizations for which a laboratory test confirms a flu diagnosis. The CDC then calls this underreporting, and “adjusts” for it by applying a “hospitalization underreporting multiplier” of 2.7. This means for every real, documented case of influenza, the CDC multiplies it by nearly three.
The same shoddy statistics apply to flu deaths. For example, just 500 Americans died from flu in 2010 (the most recent year for which data was available). The grossly inflated “36,000” number likely comes from the CDC’s lumping of flu and pneumonia together, although most pneumonia deaths “are unrelated to influenza.” In many cases, pneumonia is caused by bacteria, not a virus, which is one reason there is a separate pneumonia vaccine. Currently, the CDC states that 169 children died from the flu during the 2012 to 2013 season, and that twenty have died so far during the 2013 to 2014 season. Based on the CDC’s statistical sleight of hand, we don’t know yet if these numbers are accurate. It is also worth noting that whatever deaths occurred might have been prevented by adequate vitamin D supplementation before the illness, and/or adequate vitamin A supplementation, especially at the onset of illness.
It’s no secret that the CDC exaggerates flu hospitalization and death numbers to scare Americans into getting the flu shot. Glen Nowak, former communications director for the CDC’s National Immunization Program, openly admitted to this during a 2004 presentation to the AMA. Although the presentation has been removed from the AMA’s website (most likely due to its incriminatory nature), other websites have archived it.
Of particular interest is Nowak’s plan (he even calls it a “recipe”) to increase vaccination rates. Medical experts and public health authorities are encouraged to:

• Express concern and alarm publicly (e.g., in the media), predict dire outcomes, and urge influenza vaccination;

• Frame the flu season in terms that motivate behavior (e.g., using phrases like “very severe,” “more severe than last or past years,” “deadly”);

• Help foster the perception that many people are susceptible to a base case of influenza, by using continued reports from health officials and media that influenza is causing severe illness and/or affecting lots of people; and

• Show photographs of children and the families of those affected coming forward to get vaccinated.

The CDC would apparently like you to believe that if everyone just got the flu shot, there would be no more tragic deaths. They seem to support efforts to force all healthcare workers to get it or lose their jobs, and of schools and youth programs to require it.
But the flu shot only works on a small percentage of the “flu-like” viruses circulating every season. And even when faced against the flu strains that its designed to protect against, the flu shot is, at best, only about 62% effective. As we reported last year, that figure is misleading—it’s 62% effective against type A and B and H1N1 flu, but doesn’t protect at all against norovirus and whooping cough. Worse, only 2.7% of all adults get type A or B or H1N1 influenza, and of them, the vaccine will fail 38% of the time, which means it really benefits only about 1.8% of the population. In addition, there’s evidence that the more you get an annual flu shot, the less effective it will be.
So why does the CDC keep pushing flu vaccination so hard, even to the point of cooking the numbers, especially when the flu shot doesn’t even work that well? No one can say for sure, but the problem appears to us to be the huge conflict of interest that the government has gotten into by becoming a partner with the vaccine industry.
Sometimes, as in the case of Gardasil, the government itself is involved in the vaccine’s development and grants a license to a vaccine maker for its own profit. The government then reviews the product for safety and efficacy, subsidizes its manufacture, and recommends to state governments whether to mandate it. The government officials who make these “partnerships” happen are often richly rewarded with lucrative positions, as detailed in the book Crony Capitalism in America 2008–2012 by ANH-USA board president Hunter Lewis. Julie Gerberding, who brought the Gardasil vaccine to market as head of the CDC, later became president of Merck’s vaccine division.
As you may have noticed, chain pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart are also eager to milk the flu shot cash cow, going to great lengths to persuade customers to get the shot. For example, CVS offers a 20% off shopping pass for each flu shot your family receives. It’s unclear how much these stores make from each $25 to $32 flu shot, but the Wall Street Journal estimates profit margins to be 30% to 50%.
The CDC’s phony vaccine statistics are just the tip of a much larger scandal. If the government is to evaluate vaccines honestly, it needs to get out of the business of making them.

Polio-like Illness in Five VACCINATED California Children

According to a press release from the American Academy of Neurology dated February 23, 2014, an Abstract titled “A Polio-like Syndrome in California: Clinical, Radiologic, and Serologic Evaluation of Five Children Identified by a Statewide Laboratory over a Twelve-month Period” reveals that “All children presented with acute flaccid paralysis of one or more limbs that reached peak severity within 48 hours of onset. [1] Furthermore, “All had been previously vaccinated against polio-virus.” [2] That is a key concern – vaccinated against polio.

Interestingly, the title for that press release was “Mysterious Polio-like Illness Found in Five California Children.”

What the Abstract authors may not know is that 47,500 cases of vaccine-induced polio paralysis followed an oral polio vaccination campaign conducted by the GAVI Alliance, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the World Health Organization (WHO) in India in 2011. Dr. Joseph Mercola discusses what happened here.

Even though what’s happened to children in California may be considered mysterious or rare, oral polio vaccine induced paralysis has been occurring elsewhere. Numerous countries such as Afghanistan, Kenya, Nigeria, Somali, Sudan, and Pakistan have had prior polio vaccination campaigns, but polio returns, often induced by the very vaccine given to prevent it. Furthermore, according to Truthstream Media’s Aaron Dykes,

After years of controversy in the United States, the use of oral polio vaccine (OPV) was discontinued in 2000 due to its proven link with vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV), and in the UK circa 2004. [3] [CJF emphasis added]

However, the oral polio vaccine continues to be distributed via ‘humanitarian campaigns’ to often-nutritionally-compromised children in developing countries. Why? Isn’t that tantamount to asking for trouble? Common sense dictates you should not inoculate or infect a child in less than optimum health or anyone who is nutritionally-compromised with an oral, live-attenuated vaccine, which can infect others in a community via unsanitary sewage conditions. The best approach to obliterating communicable diseases anywhere is to provide clean water, sanitation, sanitary living conditions, and nutritious foods.

According to Gaia Health,

The National Polio Surveillance Project [India] data show that the polio eradication program has increased paralysis among children—from 3,047 cases yearly in 1997 to 61,038 cases in 2012, most now being classified as AFP [acute flaccid paralysis] instead of polio. The Government does not reveal how many of these cases are due to the vaccine. It was observed in 2005 that, against 66 cases of polio caused by the wild polio virus that year, 1,645 were caused by the vaccine. Data reveals that those vaccinated are 6.26 times more likely to be paralyzed. [4]

Readers ought to take note that vaccine-induced-polio is now being reclassified as acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), presumably to skew oral polio vaccination campaigns favorably, rather than admitting vaccines cause the polio-like paralysis. Some researchers claim that there are other newly identified strains of enterovirus that could cause the paralysis. Nonetheless, there seems to be a coincidence occurring that these paralyses occur after oral polio vaccination campaigns.

Note the first sentence in the Gaia Health information above. Furthermore, why would governments refrain from disclosing how many cases resulted from the vaccine? The apparent answer lies in the fact that in 2005 only 66 cases of wild polio virus were contracted, whereas 1,645 cases were caused by the vaccine.

Here’s a suggestion: If California authorities or the folks at the American Academy of Neurology want to get a “heads up” on the “mysterious polio-like illness,” maybe that state’s health authorities and the AAN ought to investigate what’s been happening with vaccine-induced paralysis in developing countries.

Post Script

According to radio news reports, an additional 25 children are suspected of coming down with a similar type affliction. The question that comes to mind is this: If those children are fully vaccinated against polio, which almost all kids in the USA are today, why the polio-like illness? Can it be that the polio vaccine that’s used in the USA is experiencing some sort of activity even though the U.S. polio vaccine is supposed to be an inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), and not the oral polio vaccine (OPV) used in developing countries.

According to the The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) website:

Each vaccine recommended for use against polio had its advantages and disadvantages. [There should be no disadvantages when vaccines are mandated, in my opinion. It’s not a crap shoot!] The advantage of OPV was that it was almost 100 percent effective at preventing polio. Also, because the vaccine virus was present in the stool, about 25 of 100 people who came in contact with someone who was immunized, would also become immune (this is called contact immunity). [Could that contact also include inducing polio symptoms, which apparently occurs in developing countries where OPVs are administered? “Contact immunity”?] [CJF emphasis added]

In the early 1960s, when immunization rates in this country were low, contact immunity was an important feature of OPV. However, despite OPV's 40 years of success, there was an extremely rare but frighteningly dangerous side effect: permanent paralysis. Paralysis caused by OPV occurred in about 1 of every 750,000 people after taking the first doses of the vaccine. [Not so! Look what happened in India and other countries.] Since 1979, the time when natural polio was eliminated from the United States, OPV caused about six to eight cases of paralysis each year. [5]

It will be interesting to see how the spin on this most unfortunate turn of health events is played out in California, especially since it involves Big Pharma’s ‘sacred cow’—vaccines, which are supposed to prevent the very diseases for which they are administered. Quite frankly, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if we don’t see more and more of this type of medical tragedy happening with and from more and more vaccines. They aren’t what they are cracked up to be, in my opinion.
