*Update: An internal email from the CDC's public affairs officer Jeffrey Lancashire has been obtained by Axios which makes the following demands to CDC employees:
"Effective immediately and until further notice, any and all correspondence with any member of the news media, regardless of the nature of the inquiry, must be cleared through CDC's Atlanta Communications Office...This correspondence includes everything from formal interview requests to the most basic of data requests."

Throughout the drawn-out decade-long battle to end the use of Monsanto’s herbicide glyphosate (the active ingredient in its Roundup® formulation), and by extension an entire runaway GMO paradigm, much has been discovered that should concern anyone with their common sense still functioning. Known by many names—be it the food transparency battle, the non-GMO movement, the demand for organic food—the fight has had many victories and some defeats. Over the past year, there appears to be a quickening of damning information being revealed, allowing health-conscious consumers to make better decisions when voting with their dollars against the corporate takeover of food. Glyphosate has been found in our food, soil, water, and air. But it is the 2016 finding of contamination of most independently-tested pediatric vaccines with glyphosate that was the last straw for many.
Is glyphosate dangerous? The answer would contain volumes of data, discussions, and revelations. Glyphosate is a known carcinogen that also disrupts many vital functions in the human body on the way to a disease state. California recently added glyphosate to its Prop 65 list of chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. There are currently over 1,200 plaintiffs involved in legal action within the US against Monsanto, alleging glyphosate has caused their cancers. A good resource for a more extensive understanding of glyphosate’s effects on human health is the work compilation of MIT senior scientist Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., who has for years been presenting perhaps the most thorough overview of what happens when glyphosate enters the body.
Appearing on the award-winning talk show The Doctors on May 2015, Monsanto’s lead toxicologist Donna Farmer, Ph.D. went head-to-head with Founding Executive Director of The Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT) Jeffrey Smith. It is relevant to note that Farmer made the following statement on live television regarding the damaging effects of glyphosate:
"I'll give you an example of one of the [safety] studies. They actually injected the Roundup formulation into the abdomen of the animals and they did have an effect. But that's not a relevant route of exposure for somebody who is going to be spraying that herbicide.”
On September 2016, the national grassroots coalition Moms Across America issued a press release detailing the findings of glyphosate contamination in five vaccines tested by Microbe Inotech Laboratories, Inc. of St. Louis, Missouri. At the same time, Moms Across America also sent a letter to the FDA, CDC, EPA, NIH, California Department of Health, and California Senator Barbara Boxer requesting that they make it a priority to test vaccines for glyphosate, to recall any contaminated batches, and, for the EPA, to revoke the licensure of glyphosate to prevent further contamination of injectable medical products, such as vaccines. All agencies stonewalled the request by Moms Across America. Zen Honeycutt, Founder and Director of Moms Across America, detailed the event recently on the show HighWire with host Del Bigtree:
“I sent the letter to the FDA and CDC on September 1 of last year letting them know that we found glyphosate in vaccines, and around the same time the other independent scientist Samsel did the same thing. About a month later I got a letter back from the CDC basically saying vaccines are safe and they’re highly tested. About two months later I got a letter back from the FDA saying pretty much the same thing. That they’re completely safe, highly tested but neither of them answered my question, which was: Will you test for glyphosate in vaccines? Will you find out? Will you confirm this or deny it?”
It is important to note that one month after Moms Across America sent their letter to the FDA, the agency publicly announced it was stopping all testing of food for glyphosate contamination and residues.
It was at this point, after getting a canned [non]response from the FDA and CDC, that Honeycutt filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Honeycutt stated, “I filed a FOIA to request any and all information they had on glyphosate in vaccines. I wanted to know if they tested (and just didn't tell us), or who decided not to test, and what information they had on glyphosate in vaccines.”
Three months after filing the FOIA request, 56 pages arrived from the FDA. Over 50 percent of the pages were redacted. The reason given by the FDA for the redaction was: “The deliberative process privilege protects processes of the government agencies.” What exactly in the internal FDA conversation should the American public not be privy to? If the FDA tested for glyphosate in vaccines and it wasn’t there, wouldn’t they tell us?
We are now staring directly in the eyes of the polar opposite of informed consent, with the federal government purposely blocking us from knowing what’s in vaccines, while state governments are attempting to legislate away our right to decline them. If the FDA and/or the CDC confirmed the presence of glyphosate in vaccines, all current and future mandatory vaccination laws would go up in smoke instantly. Global agendas resting on the premise that vaccines are safe would end in the blink of an eye.
Given the available information from several independent tests of vaccines for glyphosate, it is fair to say that anyone who is still pro-glyphosate or pro-vaccine, consciously or through ignorance, has sided with multinational profit-driven corporate control over life. How do we turn this around? There is a desperate need for each individual to activate and take personal responsibility for their attention, thoughts, health, family, and life.
The People are becoming the media and spreading the truth about vaccines and glyphosate. It is the parents who are forcing the issue of vaccine injury and bringing alternative medical modalities to the forefront of mainstream thinking. It is the mothers who are asking better questions and doing more important work than the agencies we fund with our tax dollars. As the American people continue to do the heavy lifting to bring integrity back to our medicine, agriculture, and legislature, it appears that the CDC, FDA, and other agencies have reduced themselves to vestigial symbols of corruption, increasingly ignored and surmounted.
