CDC Whistleblower Story Buried Alive
By Anne Dachel
I was talking with Ken Stoller, a San Francisco physician and expert in hyperbaric oxygen treatment, about how Congress needs to move on the whistleblower story and how the media is already trying to discredit it,
The stories that immediately come to mind are two recent ones from Forbes by Emily Willingham.
July 21, 2015, Why Does Robert F Kennedy Jr Get Brain Science So Wrong?
July 22, 2015, Robert F Kennedy Jr Gets It Wrong About African-American Boys And Autism
Without ever talking to Dr. William Thompson, the CDC whistleblower, or Dr. Thomas Frieden, the head of the CDC, or Dr. Julie Gerberding, the former head of the CDC who was in charge of the agency when Thompson was ordered to cover up a link between the MMR vaccine and the onset of autism in African American males in their study, Willingham slammed Kennedy for not knowing the science.
As we were discussing this, Dr. Stoller made the offhanded comment, 'Black Lives Matter,' quoting Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton. At that moment, all I could think was, YES, THEY DO, and not just adults who have encounters with the police. That statement should be our mantra!
July 24, 2015, CBS DC: Hillary Clinton: Black Lives Matter ‘Is Not Just A Slogan’
At both stops, she added some symbolism of her own, trumpeting the mantra "Black Lives Matter," which has become a rallying cry of and name for the activists who have organized protests in several cities amid several high-profile cases of black citizens being killed during encounters with police.
"This is not just a slogan," Clinton said. "This should be a guiding principle."
Black children who have been shown to be susceptible to vaccine injury should also matter. I would hope that the story of the omitted CDC data showing a higher autism risk for black males who received the MMR vaccine before 36 months of age would be of interest to Clinton AND to the 14 Republicans interested in running for President of the U.S.
My question for all the candidates: DO BLACK CHILDREN'S LIVES MATTER?
This official cover-up should be a top priority for everyone in our government. The agency that gets billions of dollars to run health care in America should be answerable to someone.

#BlackBabiesMatter
We have a three party system. People who call themselves republicans and democrats, plus the third party -- the ELITE Buy-Partisans-- who buy and sell favor in both parties. Clinton and Bush are clearly both returning champions for this party.
This Third Party is like the Medici Family, spreading its money around in a Renaissance of Racism and Sexism, and very busily manufacturing a new Dark Age for science, reason and morality. True and fatal Decadence with all the window dressing of a head to head competition.

IT seems that Ben; Wants some one to prove it to him that this CDC/Thompson/Hooker stuff is real. He wants you all to prove it.
How do you prove 6 million Jews were killed under the rule of Hilter? How do you prove 7 million Ukrainians were killed under the rule of Stalin? How do you prove the last few weeks there have been mad men shooting up and stabbing people? I mean just because of witnesses saying so, - and photos, and other writings -- .
Best go look for the evidence yourself Ben - some how it is more informative that way.

"Stop misrepresenting facts. You are only doing a disservice to the discussion. Troll tactic meant to generate anger and throw me off.
Nice try but no go here."
"No one has yet provided evidence that Dr. Thompson has applied for or received whistleblower status:
No one has disproven it. If you have verifiable information that states the opposite-please provide here so we may check into it for ourselves. Two things that give veracity to Thompson having such status is the fact he has hired the most prominent whistleblower law firm in the country and he continues to work at the CDC despite giving a very public statement reveling they (CDC) committed fraud and lied to the American people and the world.
"Farber took the text message exchange at face value
Not only Farber but many others. Those who don't, haven't been paid to do so. The fact that Orac, Dorit and the troll platoon haven't been able to discredit the text with all the resources at their disposal speaks volumes. Until you or the medical mafia can provide verifiable info that the text are fake, people have taken them at face value. Please prove otherwise if you can.
-You didn't include the part of Thompson's press release where he said "Reasonable scientists can and do differ in their interpretation of information," discrediting the idea that he thought this was a cover-up or constituted scientific fraud.
Didn't you see the link? Hiding nothing-full disclosure. If I wanted to cherry pick I wouldn't have given you a link to the admission. It is quite lengthily which is why I didn't post the entire statement. It is also posted on this website so you can find it here. The fact that Dr. Thompson in this admission of fraud bowed down to the altar of the vaccine/CDC/HHS industry in the admission is meaningless. Every researcher, scientist, Dr or employee of these agencies bow down to their masters in public by chanting the vaccines are safe mantra and everyone should shoot up. Everyone stays on the same page because they know the medical mafia eats their own if you cross them. Retaliation is the norm: Drug Giant Merck – “Destroy” Critical Doctors “Where They Live”

"Reasonable scientists can and do differ in their interpretation of information," discrediting the idea that he thought this was a cover-up or constituted scientific fraud.
If this is a matter of scientific interpretation by different researchers why hasn't the government released to the public the actual information? Why has it been suppressed to the point where in order to obtain the information that Dr. Thompson refers to in his admission of CDC fraud Dr. Hooker, Congressman Dr. Weldon, various researchers and parent groups, after submitting the appropriate FOIA documentation, had to fight for a decade to obtain this information from the CDC who refused to release it-even to Congressman Weldon. After years of fighting and with the help of other higher ups in the government, it became apparent the information was going to be released to those who requested it, the CDC gave it to the Institute of Medicine, a private organization that does not have to submit to the FOIA to keep the public from having access. It took a court order for the information to be released.
If this was a matter of scientific/researcher differing interpretation of data why was there a secret meeting in Simpsonwood Georgia in June 2000 where the data Dr. Thompson refers to as fraudulent, secret. The law states government vaccine meetings are open to the public and public notice is to be given of time, dates and place. This meeting violated the law and was therefore illegal. What was the CDC and pharmaceutical companies hiding? We now know. Also, why hasn't the public been informed that the man who the CDC/Vaccine industry contracted to do the study is on Interpol most wanted list for embezzlement? The study that the CDC holds up as the holy grail that there is no connection between thimerosal, vaccine and autism, was produced by a man who not only is corrupt in his home country of Denmark but also is a wanted felon in the US: WANTED BY THE FEDS: Poul Thorsen, Who Helped Pull Off CDC Vaccine Autism Heist: http://www.ageofautism.com/2012/11/wanted-by-the-feds-poul-thorsen-who-helped-pull-off-cdc-vaccine-autism-heist.html.

If this was just differing of interpretation the CDC would not spent years hiding this information from the public and fighting every legitimate and legal request for documents. Researchers interpretation, that's just a disingenuous rationalization for corruption and outright fraud.
"Brian Hooker still has not released the unedited recordings of his exchange with Dr. Thompson, which is suspicious."
-troll tactic 1: Keep repeating to the public that Dr. Thompson doesn't exist. Dr. Hooker made him up. This failed because the video and audio went viral-close to a million hits I understand (haven't checked in a while). This was a abject fail. Despite the MSM blackout, the video is still being viewed.
troll tactic 2: have the trolls put out that the video and audio have been altered, manipulated and portions edited out. Please provide verifying information that confirms and proves that there are missing portions of the audio and video.

Reuters News Service: Merck accused of stonewalling in mumps vaccine antitrust lawsuit By Brendan Pierson
Two former Merck & Co Inc scientists accusing the drugmaker of falsifying tests of its exclusive mumps vaccine said in a court filing on Monday that Merck is refusing to respond to questions about the efficacy of the vaccine.
Attorneys at Constantine Cannon, who represent the scientists, asked U.S. Magistrate Judge Lynne Sitarski of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to compel Merck to respond to their discovery request, which asks the company to give the efficacy of the vaccine as a percentage.
Instead of answering the question, the letter said, Merck has been consistently evasive, using "cut-and-paste" answers saying it cannot run a new clinical trial to determine the current efficacy, and providing only data from 50 years ago.
"Merck should not be permitted to raise as one of its principal defenses that its vaccine has a high efficacy, which is accurately represented on the product's label, but then refuse to answer what it claims that efficacy actually is," the letter said.
A representative of Merck could not immediately be reached for comment.
The two scientists, Stephen Krahling and Joan Wlochowski, filed their whistleblower lawsuit in 2010 claiming Merck, the only company licensed by the Food and Drug Administration to sell a mumps vaccine in the United States, skewed tests of the vaccine by adding animal antibodies to blood samples.
As a result, they said, Merck was able to produce test results showing that the vaccine was 95 percent effective, even though more accurate tests would have shown a lower success rate. The plaintiffs said these false results kept competitors from trying to produce their own mumps vaccines, since they were unable to match the effectiveness Merck claimed.
In 2012, Alabama-based Chatom Primary Care and two individual doctors, all purchasers of the vaccine, filed a proposed antitrust class action based on the allegations in the whistleblower suit. The two suits are now being coordinated before U.S. District Judge C. Darnell Jones and Magistrate Judge Sitarski.
The case is United States ex rel Krahling et al v. Merck & Co Inc, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, No. 10-4374.

For Merck: Lisa Dykstra of Morgan Lewis & Bockius

@John Stone
Prove that William Thompson has applied for and received whistleblower protection. I have yet to see any evidence that that is the case. Providing Rep Posey with documents does not mean he is a whistleblower.
@Jeanette Bishop
If that's your definition of a cover-up, then if you personally have ever screwed up at work that's considered a cover-up and you are equally as culpable as you allege the CDC is.
Obviously that's a silly definition, and you need to rethink it.
@Danchi
Here are your points addressed in a nutshell:
-No one has yet provided evidence that Dr. Thompson has applied for or received whistleblower status
-Farber took the text message exchange at face value without checking the veracity of the exchange, so all we have is her word that "it's legit;" words are wind
-You didn't include the part of Thompson's press release where he said "Reasonable scientists can and do differ in their interpretation of information," discrediting the idea that he thought this was a cover-up or constituted scientific fraud.
-Brian Hooker still has not released the unedited recordings of his exchange with Dr. Thompson, which is suspicious.
-The case involving two Merck virologists has not turned up anything because for now all we have in evidence is their testimony; stay tuned.
Stop misrepresenting facts. You are only doing a disservice to the discussion.

What does Dr. Thompson now do at the CDC each and every day ???
I would assume he is not invited to very many critical meetings.
Posted by: go Rand | July 27, 2015 at 01:52 PM
To anyone who would criticize Thompson, we need to remember that he is literally standing up to the devil himself, by himself. It is probably a miracle that he did what he did, driven by his conscience. Most people bothered by what they encountered would have quit and walked away without any sort of confrontation. He didn't do that. Instead he contacted Brian Hooker. He was like a prisoner reaching out for help. Make no mistake, the man is surrounded by the most extreme evil, and he deserves and needs our prayers and support.

Here's some Monday morning hypocrisy to start the week:
"Obama urges Ethiopia to curb crackdowns on media, opposition
Associated Press
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — President Barack Obama urged Ethiopia's leaders Monday to curb crackdowns on press freedom and political openness as he began a visit that human rights groups say legitimizes an oppressive government.
"When all voices are being heard, when people know they are being included in the political process, that makes a country more successful," Obama said during a news conference with Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn."
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/obama-urges-ethiopia-to-curb-crackdowns-on-media-opposition/ar-AAdxKvS
-------------------------------------------------------
Hey President Obama,
How about responding to that petition that over 100,000 of your citizens signed months ago asking for a ban on vaccine mandates, a ban that would align American policy with most free democratic countries worldwide? You know, the petition that you received long before parental rights were stripped and mandates were legislated in California?
And about California - how about mandating HONESTY AND ACCURACY from politicians so that dishonest bastards like Allen and Pan couldn't get away with standing up in front of the California legislature lying through their teeth in order to pass OPPRESSIVE laws that benefit the corporations paying them while their clueless and corrupt colleagues shook their empty bobbleheads yes, to their lies?
How about cleaning up the FOIA process that takes years instead of the weeks that it's supposed to take - by law? How about making sure that once citizens FINALLY get what they requested that the information isn't so heavily redacted that it is worthless?
How about recognizing whistleblowers instead of keeping them out of the public eye while propagandizing their message? It's been almost a year since senior CDC scientst William Thompson came forward to say that CDC vaccine science going back to 2004 was fraudulent and that black babies are disproportionately harmed by the MMR given before 36 months of age. While you're preaching to the Ethiopians about oppression, how about inviting Dr. Thompson out of his office at the CDC to testify before Congress so that the carnage affecting children worldwide, including in Africa, can finally begin to stop?
And while we're on the subject of carnage, how about we stop sending to Africa vaccines laced with thimerosal that are no longer allowed in America. American vaccines still have plenty of thimerosal in trace amounts and in full amounts in some vaccines, but all killed vaccines sent to African babies and children contain amounts that were phased out of American vaccines in the early 2000's. American parents are currently assured by the CDC and FDA that thimerosal was taken out of most of our vaccines, while the AAP fought to keep this extreme neurotoxin in the vaccines sent to African children.
How about saving the American free press THAT IS TEETERING ON THE BRINK OF DISAPPEARING under the pressure of forces choking it to death?
Before preaching to other countries how about looking at your own plethora of OPPRESSIVE policies first? The basis of the implementation of both "Healthy People 2020" and "The National Vaccine Plan" is forced medication of all people, for PROFIT.
Instead of partnering with it, how about protecting people right here from the medical industrial complex? The true meaning of oppression is exemplified by the cases of Justina Pelletier and other kidnapped children, right here in America.
Let's talk about disenfranchised scientists who were and are being attacked for opposing the mainstream view.
How about investigating the long list of suspicious deaths of medical practitioners?
Let's talk about corporate controlled science that the public has no say about. Let's talk about corporate control of the American and global food supply. Let's talk about the destruction of planet earth under your watch and under your direction, while you tour Africa preaching about how others should conduct their business and politics.
Let's have a show of hands: How many parents of vaccine injured children feel that they are a part of the American political process? How many feel that they are being heard?
Let's ask the American legal community about how the injustice of how vaccine injuries are handled. Let's ask them about the thousands of sealed cases that are intentionally buried.
Let's talk about oppression in a free press right here in America.

CDC WHISTLEBLOWER: Dr. William Thompson
CDC whistleblower William Thompson has now gone public with a statement posted on the website of the law firm representing him, Morgan Verkamp LLC. http://www.morganverkamp.com/august-27-2014-press-release-statement-of-william-w-thompson-ph-d-regarding-the-2004-article-examining-the-possibility-of-a-relationship-between-mmr-vaccine-and-autism/.
The statement opens with a blatant admission of scientific fraud at the CDC:
My name is William Thompson. I am a Senior Scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where I have worked since 1998. I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed.

****Dr. William Thompson chose to release his public statement less than one day after Natural News published the second in a series of once-secret emails between Dr. Thompson and his CDC colleagues.
The release of those emails may have been pivotal in Dr. Thompson's choice to go public with his own statement. The vaccine establishment, which immediately and predictably accused Natural News of fabricating the two emails, is now backpedaling as rapidly as possible with the full knowledge that Dr. Thompson's public statement affirms and supports the authenticity of those emails. Natural News, in other words, was instrumental in breaking this historical story about medical fraud at the highest levels of the CDC. (Credit is also due to many other independent media organizations and alternative journalists who pounded this story from day one.)
Those two emails are available here:

Dear Melinda,
I am writing once more regarding the recent Department of Justice (DOJ) request for a broad range of documents associated with MMR, thinners, and Autism. I first spoke with you on September 3rd of 2002 regarding the sensitive results we have been struggling within in the MADDSP MMR/Autism Study. I have also tried to bring your attention to some potentially sensitive legal issues surrounding what documents we should provide for his study. We have subsequently been told by both Beverly Dozier and Kevin Malone that we should apply na very broad definition to the documents that we provide to the DOJ.

****Some more info on the MMR and other whistle blowers:
-Former Merck scientists file suit against Merck under False Claims Act:
A formal complaint was filed in the Eastern Pennsylvania Federal District Court accusing Merck of a longstanding scheme to mislead and defraud Government health authorities worldwide. Two of Merck's former employees have accused the pharmaceutical giant of marketing multivalent MMR vaccines under false pretenses. According to the complaint, these vaccines have been mislabeled, misbranded, adulterated and falsely certified as having a 95% efficacy rate.
Court documents filed by two Merck virologists meticulously detail how Merck ostensibly manipulated test results 2 for
decades in order to create a false 95% efficacy rate for the mumps component of their multivalent MMR vaccines.
The former Merck virologists contend that the multivalent mumps component has a vastly reduced efficacy which is directly responsible for mumps outbreaks during the last decade which prompted international calls for MMR booster shots every 4 - 8 years.
Virologists Stephen Krahling and Joan Wlochowski describe how Merck had to recertify the mumps component in 2000, in order to comply with regulatory requirements in order for the mumps component to be included in two new multivalent MMR vaccines. The usual test, which had certified the mumps component's efficacy in the 60's, failed when used in 2000. They claim the results were so low Merck decided to change its own test protocol by testing the vaccine against the weakened mumps vaccine virus instead of the wild (naturally circulating) mumps virus.
When that modification didn't result in the desired 95% efficacy figure, Merck's executive directors of vaccine research, Drs Alan Shaw and Emilio Emini, instructed Drs David Krah and Mary Yagodich to implement a vast array of modifications to testing procedures3, then, allegedly pressured both Krahling and Wlochowski to participate.
When these modifications also failed to demonstrate the desired 95% efficacy rate, it is alleged that Drs Shaw and Emini instructed Drs Krah and Yagovich to abandon "gold standard" testing, and implement a new procedure, supposedly with the agreement of FDA, which included adding animal antibodies to human blood samples taken both pre and post vaccination4.
By combining the very low levels of human antibodies with animal antibodies, a much higher total level of virus neutralization was obtained than could occur from human antibodies alone. The human antibody levels alone would never protect in the real world against wild mumps. But after adding animal antibodies, the human blood samples which had previously failed under the old "gold standard" testing were retested using the "enhanced" protocols and passed with flying colors. New 'enhanced' tests showed 100% efficacy, not against wild mumps virus, but against the mumps vaccine virus.
However, combining the animal and human antibodies led to a new problem. In some of the tests more than 80% of pre-vaccine blood samples now showed up as immune. Usually, the highest number of pre-vaccine immune results any scientist could expect is 10%. Further manipulations of the animal antibody levels failed to bring the pre-vaccine blood test results down to the expected 10% levels.
According to the complaint, Merck then implemented additional 'creative' strategies to show a lack of seroconversion in immune samples in an attempt to reduce the pre-vax level to the expected 10% because had the FDA seen the high numbers of "immune" pre-vaccine samples they would have easily detected the fraudulent test procedures.
Krahling and Wlochowski worked with the same team conducting these tests, but were outraged at what they deemed to be gross scientific deception and fraudulent practices.
When Drs Krahling and Wlochowski attempted to stop what they saw as, "wholesale fabrication of test data to reach its preordained 95% efficacy threshold," Merck allegedly made various attempts to prevent them, including threatening to jail Dr. Krahling should he inform the FDA.
Despite these efforts, Dr Krahling made numerous calls to FDA. These calls remained unanswered until Dr. Krahling reported to the FDA that Dr. Krah had removed and/or destroyed Dr. Krahling's evidence.
An FDA agent then came and interviewed Dr. Krah, who apparently told the agent whatever was necessary to allay their concerns. The agent made no attempt to interview any other personnel, check any facilities, laboratory notebooks, or samples to corroborate what had been reported to them.
The lawsuit claims that to this day, Merck has consistently misrepresented the potency by simply quoting the 40 year old data from the pre-MMR monovalent mumps vaccine, thereby misrepresenting the efficacy of four multivalent vaccines: MMR, MMRII, Europe's MMRvaxpro, and ProQuad, which is MMR plus chickenpox.
According to the two whistleblowers, not only have all the multivalent MMR vaccines been sold under false pretenses, but, as a result of this LACK OF EFFICACY, there have been numerous mumps outbreaks worldwide prompting calls for regular MMR boosters throughout life. These mumps outbreaks were predicted by Merck's Dr Krah in 2001, yet Merck allegedly 'willfully' withheld this information from multiple governments while consistently claiming there was no need for a new mumps component.

Class Says Merck Lied About Mumps Vaccine By REUBEN KRAMER
http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/06/27/47851.htm
*****Chatom Primary Care sues Merck for Sherman Act monopolization, breach of warranty, violation of consumer protection laws.
The lawsuit record is available here:
http://www.naturalnews.com/gallery/documents/Chatom-Lawsuit-Merck-Mumps.pdf
It alleges
-[Merck engaged in] ...a decade-long scheme to falsify and misrepresent the true efficacy of its vaccine.
-Merck fraudulently represented and continues to falsely represent in its labeling and elsewhere that its Mumps Vaccine has an efficacy rate of 95 percent of higher.
-In reality, Merck knows and has taken affirmative steps to conceal -- by using improper testing techniques and falsifying test data -- that its Mumps Vaccine is, and has been since at least 1999, far less than 95 percent effective.
-Merck designed a testing methodology that evaluated its vaccine against a less virulent strain of the mumps virus. After the results failed to yield Merck's desired efficacy, Merck abandoned the methodology and concealed the study's findings.
...incorporating the use of animal antibodies to artificially inflate the results...
...destroying evidence of the falsified data and then lying to an FDA investigator...
...threatened a virologist in Merck's vaccine division with jail if he reported the fraud to the FDA...
...the ultimate victims here are the millions of children who every year are being injected with a mumps vaccine that is not providing them with an adequate level of protection. And while this is a disease that, according to the Centers for Disease Control ('CDC'), was supposed to be eradicated by now, the failure in Merck's vaccine has allowed this disease to linger, with significant outbreaks continuing to occur.
Chatom Primary Care also alleges that the fraudulent Merck vaccine contributed to the 2006 mumps outbreak in the Midwest, and a 2009 outbreak elsewhere. It says, "there has remained a significant risk of a resurgence of mumps outbreaks..."

Dr. Thompson continues to work at the CDC under the whistle blower's act that protects him from retaliation so that in itself speaks volumes to people who use critical thinking and common sense.

How long has it been since Thompson and Hooker's testimony and data been handed over to Congress? According to Kennedy, it was supposed to be huge and would blow the lid off of the CDC and Pharma.
Where is it?
I've given up any hope that Congress will do anything about their testimony.
Simple solution...leak it all to the public.

"There was no 'cover-up,' there was disagreement over how to handle the results."
Ben, if you can't see that "handling results," instead of following the established study protocol is research fraud, by definition a cover-up ... what would constitute a "cover-up" in your view of things?

Wrong as usual. Thompson applied for and received whistlblower protection, he has made thousands of documents over to Rep Posey and declared his wish to give evidence (not least through RFK Jnr) to Congress.

The CDC whistleblower story was buried because there never was a CDC whistleblower. Dr. William Thompson was recorded by Brian Hooker without the former's knowledge, and then his statements released without consent. His press release statement makes it plain he was not blowing any whistles, he was discussing with Brian Hooker that there was disagreement among his colleagues and himself about whether or not to include the data from the African-American boys group. Since all other strata showed no association, it was assumed by his colleagues (and possibly even Dr. Thompson) to be a statistical outlier (which might or might not have been an accurate assessment). Their choice was to not include that data in the final results, which Dr. Thompson disagreed with. There was no "cover-up," there was disagreement over how to handle the results.

I posted a comment on Forbes but I'm always censored. So much for balance but we do know, or people of good conscious know, Forbes is just a prostitute (apologies for those of the sensitive nature) for the pharmaceutical companies.
However in reading through the comments-The Dorit is back in swing with her "Thank You for writing or posting this blah blah blah comment to report that vaccines or RKJ blah blah blah. When people post studies that contradict Emily's oh so scientific article she just responds "she's a scientist", read the studies and is the all knowing. Of course it pays to be the all knowing when your bosses are multi-billionaires such as big pharma.
What people should have picked up on by now is the articles, forbes isn't the only pseudo-newsite that has run hit pieces on RKJ, are about RKJ -not vaccine science. The man has more integrity in his pinkie than all of "Oracs" trolls online-including the list of experts such as Offit, Snyderman, Insel, Willingham, Gorski and Dorit. These people go through life giving misinformation that has caused more damage and deaths to not only children but adults who are conned into taking vaccines than any of the CDC's propaganda programs. They profit on the backs of children unhindered by conscience, compassion or remorse for the outcome.
