(Nov. 16, 2024) — Rumors are swirling that under Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s leadership of the US Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC may acknowledge significant flaws in its vaccine safety research – and perhaps an agenda to mislead the public on the safety of childhood vaccines in the CDC’s recommended childhood immunization schedule. If true, this revelation would call into question decades of public health policies predicated on these studies, shaking the foundations of institutional trust. Coupled with ongoing concerns about media complicity and the influence of powerful global elites, this potential concession could represent a watershed moment for public accountability in science.
What’s at Stake in a CDC Concession?
The allegations aren’t new. Critics have long pointed to troubling practices, such as withholding inconvenient data or dismissing adverse results as “implausible.” Most infamously, whistleblower Dr. William Thompson claimed that critical subgroup data was omitted from the 2004 DeStefano study on the MMR vaccine.
Journalist Brian Deer, a polarizing figure in vaccine reporting, recently admitted that the now infamous DeStefano study “withheld Black subgroup data,” dismissing the findings as “implausible.”
“And although quite what he told them is lost down rabbit holes, Mr Kennedy later went public saying “the senior scientist” at the CDC confessed “we lied about all of our science.” That wasn’t true either. One mid-rank researcher among its 10,000 staff had slammed a badly designed study from which Black subgroup data was held back as implausible. “Reasonable scientists” might differ, he conceded.”
The problem with him watering down the importance of Thompson’s confessions are manifold: 1. Thompson revealed that ALL vaccine safety studies done or contracted by the CDC were subject to a sanitation committee, 2. Very few of the 10,000 staff at the CDC were involved in the study, or even knew about it; 3. Thompson himself had hands on the data, was directed by Coleen Boyle to change the study design based on age groups; he told his boss Destefano he had to report it to the Institutes of Medicine (IOM), and was put on leave so Destefano could strip the results and change the PowerPoint file and present the results to a critical IOM committee; 4. “Reasonable scientists” do not put each on leave for mental evaluation when they know they analyzed the data multiple times to try to make an association go away and failed; 5. We already have all the evidence and receipts. 6. We now will control who also sees the facts, data, files, etc… 6. Deer’s assessment of plausibility decades later does not trump facts and data.

At a 35,000-foot level, I see the CDC, paired with “big pharma”, as the main perpetrators to the cover-up of the devastating autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
