Obama Grants Immunity to CDC Whistleblower on Measles Vaccine Link to AutismBy HealthImpactNews, Published on February 4, 2015

"Health Impact News Editor Comments
After six months and nearly one billion tweets on Twitter, it took a
media frenzy over a small measles outbreak in California at the
beginning of 2015 to draw the attention of some in the national media
to finally start reporting on the significance of the CDC Whistleblower
story from the summer of 2014.
Patrick Howley of The Daily Caller (http://dailycaller.com/2015/02/03/obama-admin-grants-immunity-to-cdc-scientist-that-fudged-vaccine-report-whistleblower-plans-to-testify-before-congress/) has reported that the Obama
administration has granted whistleblower immunity to Dr. William
Thompson, a senior epidemiologist at the CDC who co-authored and
published research on the MMR vaccine for the CDC back in 2004. His
decision to become a whistleblower and reveal data that was concealed
by the CDC linking the MMR vaccine to autism among African American
boys was revealed during the summer of 2014.
In his report, Howley links to a letter published on the Natural News (http://www.naturalnews.com/images/CDC-Gerberding-Warning-Vaccines-Autism.jpg)
website from the summer of 2014 sent by Dr. Thompson to then-CDC
director Dr. Julie Gerberding in February 2004, where he expressed his
concerns to Dr. Gerberding about how the CDC was concealing data
linking the measles MMR vaccine to autism. (Letter here. (http://www.naturalnews.com/images/CDC-Gerberding-Warning-Vaccines-Autism.jpg))
Howley points out that Gerberding is now (http://www.mercknewsroom.com/news-release/corporate-news/merck-announces-appointment-dr-julie-gerberding-executive-vice-president) an executive vice president at
Merck, the pharmaceutical giant that is currently the sole manufacturer
of the measles vaccine. Gerberding originally left the CDC to take the
position of president of Merck's vaccine division.
Dr. Brian Hooker Spent 10 Years Trying to Obtain CDC Documents on Measles Vaccine Study(http://healthimpactnews.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/02/coleen-boyle-CDC.jpg)
Dr. Coleen Boyle of the CDC testifies under oath before Congress in November 2012 that the body of evidence shows there is no connection between mercury in vaccines and autism. Dr. Boyle was a co-author with Dr. William Thompson on the 2004 study. As we have previously reported, Dr. Brian Hooker spent 10 years
fighting the CDC and submitting over 100 Freedom of Information Acts to
obtain the raw data from studies the CDC conducted that allegedly
proved there was no connection between the measles MMR vaccine and
autism. It was almost exactly one year ago from now, in February of
2014, that Dr. Hooker was finally able to secure the raw data from the
studies he was seeking, with the help of Congressman Bill Posey, which
revealed that the CDC had data linking the measles MMR vaccine to
autism for over 10 years. (Original story and press release here (http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/cdc-caught-hiding-data-showing-mercury-in-vaccines-linked-to-autism/).)
At the time this was revealed, the mainstream media either ignored it,
or vilified it as insignificant.
CDC Whistleblower Contacts Dr. Hooker A few months later, Dr. Brian Hooker received a phone call from Dr.
William Thompson of the CDC, one of the original authors of the 2004
study. A series of phone calls took place, and Dr. Hooker recorded some
of them. Here is the now famous video that was released in the summer
of 2014 that mainstream media basically ignored:
CDC Director of Immunization Safety Admits Bias and Withholding Data Linking Measles Vaccine to Autism(http://healthimpactnews.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/Frank-DeStefano.jpg)
Frank DeStefano, MD, MPH. Image source (http://sharylattkisson.com/audio-cdc-addresses-allegations-on-vaccine-autism-link-omission/). While most of the mainstream media was ignoring this story, independent
journalist and former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson called Dr. Frank
DeStefano, the CDC Director of Immunization Safety, who was a co-author
with Dr. William Thompson in the 2004 CDC study on the MMR vaccine, and
asked him some questions about the concealed data Dr. Thompson had
revealed.
She recorded her phone call and posted it on her website here. (http://sharylattkisson.com/audio-cdc-addresses-allegations-on-vaccine-autism-link-omission/)
Attkisson asked the CDC director why the excluded data linking the
measles vaccine to autism in African American boys would not be
important enough to investigate further, since it contained such a
higher rate of autism. Dr. DeStefano's reply was very typical of the
bias that currently exists among CDC scientists when it comes to autism:
"you know, autism, as you probably are aware, is a condition that
really probably has its start while the child is still in the womb.
And, you now, it doesn't, some of the behaviors and such don't come
apparent, become apparent until maybe the child is one, two, three
years old." In other words, they believe autism is completely due to genetic
factors, and not environmental factors. Of course, this theory of the
genetic cause of autism lends itself to billions of dollars in drug
research, even though it contradicts both scientific evidence, as well
as the experience of many tens of thousands of parents who saw their
completely normal child rapidly digress shortly after receiving
vaccines. Even the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has
paid out damages to children with autism (http://healthimpactnews.com/2011/83-cases-of-autism-associated-with-childhood-vaccine-just-tip-of-the-iceberg/) as a result of vaccines,
including the measles MMR vaccine.
Obama Has Granted Whistleblower Immunity – What's Next? Now, many months later after all of this information was revealed,
Patrick Howley of the Daily Caller (http://dailycaller.com/2015/02/03/obama-admin-grants-immunity-to-cdc-scientist-that-fudged-vaccine-report-whistleblower-plans-to-testify-before-congress/2/) has picked up the story, and
revealed that Dr. Thompson actually obtained whistleblower status from
the Obama administration "months ago."
So what's next?
Howley reports (http://dailycaller.com/2015/02/03/obama-admin-grants-immunity-to-cdc-scientist-that-fudged-vaccine-report-whistleblower-plans-to-testify-before-congress/2/) that Congressman Posey staffer Anna Schartner stated:
"We're working with the Science Committee to get a hearing," Anna
said. "What we're talking about is integrity within an agency. It's
rightfully under the purview of the Science Committee."
In an interview with Dr. Gary Null (http://prn.fm/progressive-commentary-hour-01-20-15/) on his national radio program last
month (January 2015), Dr. Brian Hooker stated that Dr. Thompson is
currently cooperating with members of a Congressional subcommittee.
Also:
"Thousands of American parents with vaccine damaged children,
suffering from permanent neurological impairment and autism, await
a trial that will finally bring to justice many of the nation's top
health officials. (Source (http://vaccineimpact.com/2015/did-2014-mark-the-collapse-of-the-vaccine-establishment/).)"
The Mainstream Media is Covering the Wrong Measles Story Yesterday, we published an article about how the mainstream media was
not covering the charges of fraud against Merck regarding the measles
MMR vaccine in the current measles debate. (See: Why is the Mainstream
Media Ignoring Measles Vaccine Fraud Cases? (http://vaccineimpact.com/2015/why-is-the-mainstream-media-ignoring-measles-vaccine-fraud-cases/))
We mentioned not only the CDC whistleblower story, but also the federal
lawsuit with allegations of fraud over the mumps portion of the MMR
vaccine, in a case filed back in 2010 by two virologists who worked for
Merck, and became whistleblowers.
Hours later, The Daily Caller published the report by Patrick Howley. (http://dailycaller.com/2015/01/12/cdc-quietly-making-robo-calls-to-study-health-impact-of-vaccines/)
This is a positive move in the right direction that we hope other media
sources will follow.
The United States does not currently have a measles epidemic. We have
an autism epidemic.
(http://network.sophiamedia.com/vaccineimpact/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2014/11/The-Autism-Catastrophe.png)
It is time to stop denying the vaccine link to autism, and work on a
solution to the very obvious problems that exist in the vaccine
industry. Autism is a much more serious problem than the small number
of measles cases we are currently seeing. We cannot continue to deny
this problem exists, if we expect to find real solutions.
