Duty to Warn – The Zika Virus, the Brazilian Microcephaly Outbreak, Cognitive Dissonance and the Elephant in the Room

HEALTH, 8 Feb 2016

Gary G. Kohls, MD – TRANSCEND Media Service

Covering-up Another Iatrogenic Disorder (Injecting Fetotoxic Aluminum into Pregnant Women)

“Rather than (irrationally) calling for a fast-tracked Zika virus vaccine program against a benign mosquito virus that is the least likely causative agent for congenital defects like microcephaly, these authorities have chosen to keep quiet about the really logical thing to do until more is known: warn the pregnant targets of the new vaccination policy and immediately stop inoculating pregnant women with neurotoxic, aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines! Doing otherwise might meet the definition of reckless child endangerment or even crimes against humanity.” – GGK

Today (2/2/16), investigative reporter Jon Rappoport of nomorefakenews.com/ wrote: “AP: ‘Brazilian officials said the babies with the defect [microcephaly] and their mothers are being tested to see if they had been infected. Six of the 270 confirmed microcephaly cases were found to have the [Zika] virus.’ Out of all the microcephaly cases re-examined in Brazil, only six have the Zika virus! That constitutes zero proof that Zika has anything to do with microcephaly.”

Before elaborating on this important topic, I submit a glossary of terms:

“The Elephant in the Room”: A situation where there is an obvious root cause of a problem but those falsely claiming to try to solve the problem totally ignore the root cause that is staring them in the face. (Author Upton Sinclair’s incisive comment applies here, when he said: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it”.)

“Cognitive Dissonance”: The psychological discomfort felt when one is confronted with new information or a new reality that contradicts one’s deeply held beliefs. (As in seeing the sudden explosive collapses (on 9/11/01) of the three WTC towers into fine powder within seconds and then struggling with the desire to stick with the contradictory official White House theory that simple office fires burned them to the ground.)

“Iatrogenic”: A condition, usually inadvertent, resulting from the activity of a physician, such as an adverse reaction to a prescription drug, surgery, vaccine or medical device.

“Correlation does not imply Causation”: An example of a logical fallacy in that two events occurring together do not necessarily have a cause-and-effect relationship.

“False Flag Operation”: A covert operation carried out by a government agency, a corporation or some other secret organization in order to deceive its own people into falsely believing the operation was carried out by enemy “others” – usually for political or economic gain. (Ex. Operation Northwoods, Operation Gladio, the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, 9/11/01, the Reichstag Fire, Operation Himmler, etc. (Google “False Flag Ops What Really Happened” for dozens more.)

“Conflict of Interest”: A situation in which a person or group is in a position to derive personal or collective benefit (financial or professional) from actions or decisions made in their official capacity.

“Adjuvant”: A substance that enhances the body’s immune response to an antigen in a vaccine. Frequently the response is to such a degree that it can cause hyperimmune/autoimmune disorders. (Aluminum adjuvants, which are used in many infant vaccines, are the biggest culprits). (Ex. Vaccine adjuvants are known to be causative in Type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver (aka nonalcoholic steatohepatitis), autism spectrum disorders, asthma, food allergies, a variety of organ-specific autoimmune disorders (such as thyroiditis, vasculitis and autoimmune rheumatic diseases like SLE [lupus], rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and sarcoid), and metabolic syndrome (= obesity, type 2 diabetes/insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia). (http://www.vaccines.net/vaccine-induced-immune-overload.pdf.)

Most of us are by now aware of the furor over the mosquito-borne Zika virus in Brazil. Seemingly every pro-corporate vaccinologist, academic pediatrician, infectious disease “expert”, and even the World Health Organization have been blanketing the media and agreeing with the unproven notion that this usually asymptomatic, very mild viral illness somehow is causing an “epidemic” of thousands of microcephalic (“shrunken brain”) newborns in , an outbreak that made its appearance out of nowhere in November 2015).

Ignored is the fact that there are 35 other countries across the globe that have confirmed cases of Zika virus illness, but none are having any increased reports of microcephaly (although some public health organizations are searching hard for other cases of microcephaly to support the current conventional “wisdom”). (See the list of 35 at: http://ecdc.europa.eu/en/healthtopics/zika_virus_infection/zika-outbreak/Pages/Zika-countries-with-transmission.aspx)

The public radio stations that I pay attention to – and usually try hard to trust (NPR, MPR and WPR) – have trotted out an assortment of “experts” who have been eager to pontificate on the subject, but none of them have looked at the “elephant in the room”, which is discussed in detail further below. The so-called health professionals from the CDC, the WHO, the NIH and the FDA who were interviewed by the mainstream media were academics (or bureaucrats heading up professional organizations) who were “experts” in infectious disease, virology, pediatrics, vaccinology and OB-GYN, all professions that have been well indoctrinated in the alleged “safety” and “efficacy” of all vaccines.

All of them were naturally quite willing to fan the flames of fear and paranoia among us lay listeners, and most of us were naturally alarmed to hear about the thousands of mutants being born with underdeveloped brains.

The Elephant in the Room

But in the week of reports that I heard or read about, not a single interviewer asked about – and not a single “expert” or mainstream journalists ever mentioned – a likely triggering cause of the epidemic: the recent addition of a new vaccine that contained aluminum, which is known to be neurotoxic, cytotoxic and genotoxic in animals. The new vaccine DTaP, had been recently mandated (early in 2015) by the Brazilian government to be injected into pregnant women – and therefore into their fetuses.

Suspecting that some of the “experts” that I heard interviewed on the radio may have had professional or economic conflicts of interest in this story, I decided to do some independent research into what else might be behind last week’s three hysteria-provoking, media-hyped stories. Besides (1) the Zika virus/microcephaly story, there were two other paranoia-inducing reports in the news that I noticed, including (2) a report about a new kind of dog influenza virus that allegedly made somebody’s cute little Jack Russell terrier very sick with a cough (for which your local veterinarian apparently has a vaccine) and (3) a preventive medical services “blue ribbon” panel that was recommended that every person in America henceforth should be screened for so-called “mental illnesses” (and then referred to physicians who are quick to prescribe unaffordable, brain-altering psychotropic medications, of course).

We all know how pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers (as well as clinics, hospitals and physician trade associations) are constantly trying to grow their businesses and enrich themselves and their stakeholders (by expanding market share whenever and wherever they can). So naturally I couldn’t help but speculate on which financial investment sectors and corporations were benefitting from the latest freak-out news this time around.

Cognitive Dissonance (or Is It Willful Ignorance) in the Healthcare Industries?

It’s important to be aware of the unshakable faith that Big Medicine has in Big Pharma’s vaccines. As a family physician, I was likewise indoctrinated in medical school and beyond to believe that all mercury-containing or aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines are safe and effective and that both mercury and aluminum were non-toxic to infant brains. (Both now are well-known to be serious poisons to every living cell in the universe, not just babies brains.) Generations of brain-washing of medical practitioners by corporate-controlled or corporate-influenced groups – has worked wonders for the vaccine industry, and it starts in medical school. And what physicians believe firmly extends to their patients, even in the face of powerful neuroscientific evidence to the contrary.

Even the Brazilian women who have been delivering microcephalic babies for the last 3 months (or the autistic, learning impaired, hyperactive, antisocial, autoimmune, or otherwise neurologically-impaired in the future) are probably unaware that they and their fetuses had been exposed to injected neurotoxins – without their fully informed consent – when their fetus’s blood-brain barriers, brains, nerves and synapses were developing.

And I’ll even be willing to bet that the healthcare workers who were delivering those babies had no clue about the dangers either.

Significantly, it is even possible that some of those women were also receiving the mercury-containing flu shots or drinking lead-contaminated water during their pregnancy as well. Knowing that toxic heavy metals such as aluminum, mercury and lead are capable of crossing both the placental barrier and the immature blood-brain barrier of the fetus, those chemicals should have been contraindicated in pregnancy.

At this point, it must also be recognized that those Brazilian mothers – usually living in poverty, malnutrition and in carcinogenic areas of the nation – have been chronically exposed to mosquito repellants and fumigants (all of them are neurotoxins), Monsanto’s Round-up (a known neurotoxic herbicide that has shown brain toxicity and small brains in experimental animal testing) and Syngenta’s Atrazine (another neurotoxic and genotoxic herbicide widely used in Brazil).

Brazil is notorious for the widespread use of toxic chemicals because of their burgeoning agricultural economy. It is the largest user of agribusiness poisons in the world. As an aside, Americans should be careful about eating food from such countries, which will be hard if Big Agribusiness and the Grocery Manufacturers of America (GMA) succeed in banning the labeling of food products as to country of origin.)

I know of no pediatrician and very few family physicians that show any sign of recognition whenever the darling of Big Vaccine, Dr Paul Offit, speaks. (Offit is the multi-millionaire inventor of a CDC-mandated rotavirus vaccine whose contagious live viruses are shed for weeks following the oral administration of the vaccine.) Offit, an academic pediatrician at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he is the director of the Merck-funded Vaccine Education Center, once made the ridiculous assertion that “infants can theoretically receive 10,000 vaccine (antigens) at once without overloading their immune systems.” Despite that outrageous belief, he seems to have open invitations to be interviewed on radio or TV anytime there is an outbreak of whooping cough or measles-like rashes among fully vaccinated populations of children. (For more on Dr Offit and a list of a multitude of great reference articles, click on: http://jameslyonsweiler.com/2015/11/16/paging-dr-offit-your-aluminum-neurotoxicity-reading-assignments-are-ready/)

Those readers who also smelled a rat will agree that big multinational Agribusiness corporations that manufacture insecticides and insect repellants will profit from the Zika Virus/microcephaly story, and the pharmaceutical, vaccine and medical and veterinarian industries will profit from most of these hyped-up stories.

A specific example of a corporation that is already profiteering from the Zika virus story is the biotech company Oxitec. Oxitec developed the technology to genetically alter male Aedes aegypti mosquitos so that none of their offspring would be able to reproduce. Note that there is no proof that this will do anything to contain the widespread Aedes aegypti mosquito population, but for proof of how cunning these folks are, check out the headline that I saw last week from a financial services firm. It said: “Intrexon Stock Price Spikes 20%; Oxitec Subsidiary Working To Control Zika Virus Outbreak”

That headline disgusted me, but what really piqued my interest was the totally irrational microcephaly part of the mosquito story and my understanding about the serious neurotoxicity of aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines. My information comes from my extensive reading of many honorable (and un-conflicted) basic neuroscience researchers into the dangers of aluminum adjuvants across the world (in Israel, Canada, France, Japan, but not many in America – or in Brazil).

False Flag Op: Blaming a Mosquito Instead of the Real Villains

The Zika virus has been around semitropical and tropical countries since 1948 with no connection to fetal anomalies for the last 70 years, so my bullshit detectors screamed loudly when the mosquito carrier of the virus was blamed as the prime suspect in causing large numbers of congenital mutations as dramatic as microcephaly. Noting that very few others were noticing the strong stench of another false flag operation, I realized that I had to do my own research.

So, partly clued in (or inspired) by the essays of Jon Rappoport (Google “Jon Rappaport and the Zika Hoax”), I started to do my independent research into this story. What I found out was disturbing to me, but it was not surprising.

Starting at the beginning, one can report that the multibillion dollar, transnational vaccine industry, along with many its co-opted public health experts, have long been concerned about the relative lack of efficacy of the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine (the “P” in the trivalent DPT or DTaP) in actually preventing the disease even in fully vaccinated children. That reality has been effectively covered-up by the industry – with the help of the media.

In every one of the periodic outbreaks of whooping cough that we hear about from time to time, large percentages, sometimes even majorities, of the sick children have actually been found to be fully vaccinated with the recommended series of three shots, which should have, theoretically, protected them. In very young infants (whose immune system, blood-brain barriers and upper windpipes are at their most immature), whooping cough is much more likely to be lethal, the mortality rate varying from less than 1% to as much as 5% (in impoverished, malnourished, neglected and/or chemically poisoned populations).

Making the Mistake of Trying to “Keep up With the Joneses” in Brazil

In Brazil, public health officials also have been concerned with the nation’s rising incidence of whooping cough (approximately double that of its neighboring countries). Between January 2007 and December 2014, there were 24,612 confirmed cases of whooping cough (averaging 3000 per year, with small, normal background numbers of microcephalic newborns being born).

99,996 Out of Every 100,000 Brazilians Don’t Contract Whooping Cough in any Given Year

The actual annual incidence rates of whooping cough in Brazil between 2007 and 2010 ranged from a low of 0.32 cases per 100,000 to 0.75 per 100,000. Then, starting in 2011, the incidence started rising, reaching 1.17 cases per 100,000 in 2011, 2.81 per 100,000 in 2012, 3.2 per 100,000 in 2013, and 3.25 per 100,000 in 2014 (which means that in the peak year, 2014, over 99,996 Brazilians out of every 100,000 didn’t contract whooping cough!)

During the so-called “epidemic” period [2012 – 2014], the mean annual incidence rate for whooping cough was 2.6 cases per 100,000 population, compared with 0.51 per 100,000 in the period from 2007 through 2010, but the relative rate of increase was calculated to be a pseudo-alarming 520% rise (2.6/0.51 X 100% = 520% [!])

The overall case fatality rate among confirmed cases of whooping cough during the eight years of the study was 2.1 % (528 deaths in the 8 years studied out of the 24,612 confirmed cases). (Note that the statistics mentioned above were taken from a medical journal article that was titled “Increasing Incidence of Pertussis in Brazil” (BMC Infect Dis. Oct 2015). Ironically, the article was published online the month before the microcephaly outbreak occurred! (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4619034/)

Prior to the disastrous microcephaly outbreak that began in November 2015, the embarrassed Brazilian public health experts knew that Brazil’s high 90 – 95% infant vaccination rates among its infants were failing to eliminate, as promised, the occasional case of whooping cough (which, admittedly, can be fatal in very tiny infants, with pneumonia, encephalitis, dehydration, otitis, and malnutrition usually listed as contributory causes of death in coroner’s reports).

So Brazilian public health officials decided on a drastic plan: inoculate all pregnant women with the neurotoxic, aluminum-containing DTaP vaccine, hoping that by doing so, the babies would come out of the womb automatically immunized to whooping cough – a scientifically absurd notion that had never been tested for efficacy beforehand.

The plan may have sounded plausible to the layperson. It may even have sounded plausible to a public healthcare oriented bureaucrat or perhaps even to an academic neuroscientist who might have either had financial conflicts of interest in not revealing what were the real villains in the outbreak.

And of course, the plan looked like pure gold to Sanofi Pasteur (the largest corporation in the world devoted entirely to manufacturing and marketing vaccines) and to GlaxoSmithKline (the British mega-pharmaceutical corporation that would be getting the contract for the tens of millions of doses of aluminum-containing DTaP).

It should be emphasized that no well-designed experimental studies were done beforehand to prove that such a strategy would work, much less be safe. But, as in most public health decisions made by bureaucrats and industry, there must have been a very uncomfortable minority of (enlightened) Brazilian scientists who were aware of the toxicologic neuroscience concerning the neurotoxicity and autoimmune disorders associated with aluminum adjuvants. However, being out-numbered, I suspect that, instead of whistle-blowing on the plan, they resorted to just crossing their fingers that the high-risk plan would work out.

Of course, crossing one’s fingers and hoping for good experimental results is lousy science.

Anyway, in the spring of 2015, public health officials mandated DTaP vaccinations for all pregnant Brazilian women. The vaccine contained, not just the whooping cough antigen and aluminum, but also two totally unnecessary antigens that are supposed to (allegedly) prevent diphtheria and tetanus, two illnesses that, compared to whooping cough, are so rare in first world countries as to be non-existent.

So since last year, clinics all over Brazil were injecting some form of aluminum-adjuvanted vaccine into pregnant women, despite the warnings from independent neuroscientists that such vaccines were known to be neurotoxic (poisonous to brain and nerve tissue), genotoxic (poisonous to DNA), mutagenic (capable of causing mutations) and generally fetotoxic (capable of poisoning fetuses, especially their brains and bones).

The result? By November 2015, a variable number of months after the aluminum-containing vaccines had been injected into thousands of gestating Brazilian women, the incidence of microcephaly sky-rocketed from essentially zero in October 2015 to 1200 cases in November and 1200 cases in December (the latest reported total is nearly 4000 up to mid-January 2016).

And why should everybody be outraged at the apparent lack of transparency with which the media and public health officials have dealt with this problem? It is outrageous – perhaps even criminal – that public health agencies, even the expert at the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), have allowed the public to be so thoroughly dis-informed about what really happened to the mothers in the months before the microcephalic babies were being born and exactly what are all of the significant factors in this Brazilian “epidemic”.

Conflicts of Interest Keep Big Lies Going, But at What Cost?

Quite often the selfish need to preserve the reputation, wealth or prestige of powerful people or industries takes precedence over the basic human rights and needs of innocent people that are often their victims. So when those entities are at risk of being humiliated if and when their greed and conflicts of interest are exposed, a lot of effort at covering up the truth is exerted. This is especially true when the hidden corporate agendas of Big Pharma, Big Medicine, Big Vaccine, Big Agribusiness, Big Chemistry, Big Food, Big Insurance, Big Finance, Big Politics, Wall Street and the Pentagon are at risk of being exposed.

So, after understanding the facts as revealed above, Brazilian women of child-bearing age – as are all of us – are being kept in the dark about all the facts about what investigative reporter Jon Rappoport calls the Zika virus hoax. The perpetrators of the hoax include officials at the WHO, the CDC, the NIH, the FDA and every major news outlet that has a paid medical doctor on staff doing such stories. Shouldn’t they all be ashamed of themselves for missing the essential ingredients of this story and misleading the public with their willful ignorance or their bald-faced promulgation of the Big Lie?

“Rather than (irrationally) calling for a fast-tracked Zika virus vaccine program against a benign mosquito virus that is the least likely causative agent for congenital defects like microcephaly, these authorities have chosen to keep quiet about the really logical thing to do until more is known: warn the pregnant targets of the new vaccination policy and immediately stop inoculating pregnant women with neurotoxic, aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines!”

Doing otherwise might meet the definition of reckless child endangerment or even crimes against humanity.

   This is amazing. A site dedicated to peace is more and more becoming a site propagating loonie conspiracy stuff.
