Dr Ott informs me that Occupy Salt Lake got shut down after an 18 year old OD'd. Now if only the rest would follow suit. Oakland was raided this morning and cleared out with arrests, but tonight the protestors are back as if nothing happened.
Crof over at Crof's H5N1 blog has posted a link to the following article as a target for ridicule, calling anti-vaccine proponents "quacks and charlatans" - furthermore Crof incorrectly states that Dr Sircus is literally advocating for "lynching". How blindly ignorant and hypocritical... it is obvious that Crof just ran with his assumptions based on the title of the article alone, and did not even bother to READ the content of the article. What a douchebag.
Dr Mark Sircus OMD on vaccinations: String the Bastards Up
String the Bastards Up
Posted by Mark Sircus - Director on 12 November 2011
In general I am against the death penalty as I am against killing of any kind. Though the Bible sanctions death and killing, it is clearly against murder and the taking of innocent life. We could argue all day about what some people clearly seem to deserve and we could argue about the legitimacy of many things from the Old Testament or anything else written that the elites of the world have had their dirty fingers in.
For all those who are for the death penalty, my message will be clear. I am calling for the conviction and the worst possible punishment under the law for certain people in government who are in the medical field. There seems to be no limit to what our present society will accept. We are letting the bankers and the shysters on Wall Street destroy western civilization, allowing them the fattest paychecks on earth as a reward. And we are letting doctors in white coats inject poisonous heavy metals into babies and paying them well for it.
They say there is a sucker born every minute but I think things have gotten out of hand. Before I go into detail about what has been clear to many of us for years I want to bring the image of the case of a monster who commits mass murder and torments children and their parents. In this case we have a group of them who deserve to be lynched and they work for the federal government at the Centers of Disease Control (CDC).
Most people would have no contention with lining up mass tormentors of children against a wall with the punishment of life imprisonment in solitary confinement. It certainly looks like we have solid evidence that there are people who have conspired to mislead doctors so they continue to inject highly dangerous chemicals into children.
On October 25, 2011 the Coalition for Mercury-free Drugs (CoMeD) exposed communications between Centers for Disease Control (CDC) personnel and vaccine researchers revealing: U.S. officials apparently colluded in covering-up the decline in Denmark’s autism rates following the removal of mercury from vaccines.
Documents obtained via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show that CDC officials were aware of Danish data indicating a connection between removing thimerosal (49.55% mercury) and a decline in autism rates. Despite this knowledge, these officials allowed a 2003 article to be published in Pediatrics that excluded this information, misrepresented the decline as an increase, and led to the mistaken conclusion that thimerosal in vaccines does not cause autism.
So you can understand why I think these people should be lined up against a wall. Actually there is no punishment that could possibly compensate for the suffering of autism and the tragedy of vaccine deaths. There is a sizable community of scientists and concerned parents who have tried to sway the government away from its use of a neurological poison like thimerosal but it has not listened or cared.
In Denmark, thimerosal, a controversial mercury compound used as a preservative in certain vaccines, was removed from all Danish vaccines in 1992. The well-publicized Danish study published in Pediatrics (2003) claimed that autism rates actually increased after thimerosal was phased out. This study subsequently became a cornerstone for the notion that mercury does not cause autism. However, one of the FOIA documents obtained from CDC clearly indicates that this study omitted large amounts of data showing autism rates actually dropping after mercury was removed from Danish vaccines.
One coauthor from Aarhus University, Denmark was aware of the omission and alerted CDC officials in a 2002 email stating, “Attached I send you the short and long manuscript about Thimerosal and autism in Denmark… I need to tell you that the figures do not include the latest data from 2001… but the incidence and prevalence are still decreasing in 2001.” (emphasis added)
We know the article’s lead author was aware of the missing autism data because he stated in an email reply, “I am not currently at the university but I will contact you tomorrow to make up our minds.”
Nevertheless, in the final draft version of the publication submitted to Pediatrics, the data from 2001 showing a decline in autism was not mentioned. Ignoring this omission, the CDC continued to endorse the article and in a December 10, 2002 recommendation letter to the editor of Pediatrics encouraged expedited review and publication of the article. The misleading Danish article was published by Pediatrics in 2003.
Dr. Poul Thorsen, one of the co-authors and “scientist in residence” at the CDC 2000-2002, was subsequently terminated by Aarhus University and indicted in Atlanta for embezzlement in relation to his $11 million grant from the CDC.
CoMeD has demanded that the CDC launch an immediate investigation of the CDC officials involved based on scientific fraud. CoMeD is also calling for the full retraction of the deceptive article that appeared in Pediatrics. “This type of malfeasance should not be tolerated by those who are entrusted with our children’s health and wellbeing,” stated Lisa Sykes, President of CoMeD.
The newest study about thimerosal from the University of Brazil warns that while vaccines are essential to the wellbeing of children around the world (which of course is utterly untrue), the use of thimerosal should be banned. The author, Dr. José Dórea, reviews the published science that demonstrates that infant exposure to the amount of thimerosal in vaccines is toxic to human brain cells.
A number of recent studies have further suggested that the mercury used in everyday medical products, such as flu shots and amalgam, or “silver” dental fillings, contributes to causing a wide variety of illnesses, including autism and other developmental diseases in children and Alzheimer’s disease in adults.
Vera Hassner Sharav writes: “Public health officials on both sides of the Atlantic have lost the public trust because they have been in alliance with vaccine manufacturers in denying that safety problems exist. If vaccines posed no safety problems, why has the U.S. Vaccine Court awarded more than $2 billion dollars to settle 2,500 cases involving vaccine-related debilitating injuries in children?”
Dr. Richard Halvorsen, author of the book, The Truth About Vaccines, said: “Thimerosal is an extremely toxic substance and a known poison to the brain. There is enough convincing evidence linking thimerosal with developmental disorders and learning problems in individual children to warrant its removal from any childhood vaccine.” Eli Lilly developed thimerosal and sponsored its use for many decades even though they knew it was dangerous from the very beginning after everyone in the first medical study died. Mercury, a heavy metal and a potent neurotoxin, can compromise the health of anyone—adult or child.
So what should society do to punish the doctors and medical scientists who have deliberately set the conditions for babies to either die or live a life of dire stress with autism and other neurological conditions? If we make them the stars of society and worship them like the priests of old, we doom ourselves, our children, and our civilization. Some say we get what we deserve, but are we so bad that we deserve being abused by a class of madmen who, without any sense of guilt, inject poisons into our children while getting paid for it?
Let’s face it, most people really do not care who gets hurt unless it’s themselves or their loved ones. What else explains why we have allowed this without much complaint?
There are a few men and women in this area who deserve special mention in that they throw their full weight into lying to the public about vaccines and make a lot of money doing so. I do not want to mention names and I really do not want to get angry but there is a fire in my belly that rose high when I saw the latest in the thimerosal saga.
They say that the clergy from the Church during the Inquisition truly believed in their mission as they tortured innocent men, women and children and there is no doubt that most pediatricians truly believe in their vaccines no matter how many children they hurt. As a group they continue to wear blinders and follow everything their medical superiors say. These superiors are corrupt down to their very bones so no wonder the practice of medicine is no longer really the practice of medicine. I am not sure what to call it but certainly the profession is loaded with oath breakers doing so much harm even when they have sworn to do none.

NVIC Calls Out AAP for Censorship, Intimidation
Today, NVIC sent out a press release citing the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for engaging in intimidation in attacking NVIC and a flu prevention video sponsored by NVIC for Delta Air Lines in-flight programming during the month of November. NVIC is criticizing the AAP's attempts to censor and block public access to full and accurate information about influenza.
NVIC was offered the opportunity to be a paid sponsor of a video about staying well during the flu season that would be included in Delta's in-flight programming during November 2011. On Nov. 7, Forbes magazine published an article with a copy of a letter signed by the AAP President Robert Block, MD, accusing Delta of "putting children's lives at risk" by showing travelers the NVIC sponsored video because it contains "harmful messages."
In the AAP letter, the Pharma-funded medical trade association alleged that "The [NVIC] ad urges viewers to become informed about influenza and how to stay well during the flu season without resorting to the influenza vaccine."
NVIC Defends Free Speech, Right to Self Determination
NVIC co-founder and president Barbara Loe Fisher responded, "Without cause, the AAP has used their considerable financial resources and political influence to intimidate Delta for simply showing a video that offers accurate information about ways to stay healthy during the flu season, including talking with doctors about getting a flu shot. Censorship and attacks on consumer advocacy groups working to institute informed consent protections in public health policies should not be tolerated in this or any society that cherishes free speech and the right to self determination."
Flu Vaccine Less Than 70 Percent Effective
The AAP letter stated that "influenza vaccine continues to be the best way to protect against the disease," without acknowledging that a recently published scientific study found that the flu vaccine is less than 70 percent effective in preventing influenza, which confirms previous studies questioning influenza vaccine efficacy and effectiveness. A top flu expert at the CDC has said that about 80 percent of flu-like illness reported in the U.S. every year is not influenza but is caused by other viruses and bacteria.
"The AAP's leadership is clearly threatened by educated consumers, who have every right to engage in critical thinking when making choices about how to stay healthy," said Fisher. "Why is the AAP so afraid to admit that washing our hands, covering our mouths when coughing, eating nutritious foods, getting enough sleep, exercising, and lowering stress are also important ways to stay well during the flu season and all year around?"

“I can assure you that death from vaccination is neither
quick nor painless. I helplessly watched my daughter suffer
an excruciatingly slow death as she screamed and arched
her back in pain, while the vaccine did as it was intended
to do and assaulted her immature immune system. The
poisons used as preservatives seeped through her tiny body,
overwhelming her vital organs one by one until they collapsed.
It is an image that will haunt me forever and I hope no other parent
ever has to witness it. A death sentence considered too inhumane
for this county’s most violent criminals was handed down to my
beautiful, innocent, infant daughter, death by lethal injection.”
