The past week has offered glimpses of hope for the growing number of people who know they are being lied to by the mainstream medical establishment about vaccine safety. More people are now aware that the kind of rigorous testing required for drugs to be put on the market does not apply to vaccines, or that vaccines like the HPV shot were not properly tested against a saline placebo before approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Yet, the medical establishment continues to omit these facts and instead focuses on why vaccine hesitancy is on the rise. Studies are being done in an attempt to understand vaccine hesitancy and come up with solutions to the “problem” of poor vaccine uptake. In 2014, the Boston Globe ran the headline Doctors Still Hesitant to Urge HPV Vaccine for Teenagers, highlighting a survey from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in which the agency stated that the inoculation rate is ‘unacceptably low.’ In 2015, NPR ran the story titled Doctors, Not Parents, Are the Biggest Obstacle to the HPV Vaccine in response to a study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, which found that more than a quarter of pediatricians and family doctors do not strongly endorse the HPV vaccine.
A new study in the journal PLOS One titled Misinformation Lingers in Memory: Failure of Three Pro-vaccination Strategies is an eye-opener at how clueless the medical establishment appears to be as to why its vaccine propaganda is being rejected. In this study, the researchers compared three strategies in vaccine promotion: a) contrasting myths vs. “facts,” b) employing “fact” and icon boxes, and c) showing images of non-vaccinated sick children. It should be noted that when the study’s authors refer to “facts,” they are using the term to mean vaccine propaganda. Beliefs in the autism-vaccine link and in vaccines side effects, along with intention to vaccinate a future child, were evaluated both immediately after the “correction intervention” and after a 7-day delay to reveal possible backfire effects. The study concluded the following:
“Results show that existing strategies to correct vaccine misinformation are ineffective and often backfire, resulting in the unintended opposite effect…”
Let’s look at some of the materials, methods, and “facts” used in this study. The study’s ‘myth vs. “facts” section attempts to simply lie to people. Here are a few slides from the study:

Let’s look at some of the materials, methods, and “facts” used in this study. The study’s ‘myth vs. “facts” section attempts to simply lie to people. Here are a few slides from the study:
Slide One calling risky vaccines a myth is patently false. Every vaccine insert has a laundry list of risks and long-term severe adverse reactions, including the risk of death. Rarely conveyed by vaccine propaganda is the fact that Americans injured by any vaccine on the childhood schedule cannot sue manufacturers for damages. Instead, they may apply for compensation from the government. The government set up the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) in 1986, which has begrudgingly paid out nearly $4 billion in damages and deaths as a result of vaccination. The book The Vaccine Court: The Dark Truth of America’s Vaccine Injury Compensation Program exposes the reality of the VICP as having little oversight, being highly adversarial towards petitioners, having adjudication times easily topping 5-10 years, and limiting the conditions allowed to be compensated for. In addition, doctors and nurses are not properly trained to recognize vaccine injury, which accounts for gross underreporting of vaccine reactions to Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
Slide Two is also false on many fronts. Nowhere on the slide is it indicated what amounts and types of adjuvants are in vaccines. Adjuvants and excipients are toxic additives included in vaccines to supercharge the body’s immune response or simply present there as questionable contaminants -- a dangerous mix, especially for infants without a robust detoxification system. Known vaccine adjuvants and excipients include, but are not limited to, aluminum, formaldehyde, protein and DNA contaminants from human and animal cells, in which vaccines are manufactured, and much more. Most vaccines are also contaminated with micro- and nano-metallic debris thought to be industrial waste from poor manufacturing conditions. In addition, headlines were made starting in 2013 that glass was found in batches of already administered vaccines. To date, no regulatory agency has lifted a finger to investigate or take action against vaccine manufacturers for their contaminated products.
Slide Three states as “fact” that “there is no evidence of a link between the MMR vaccine and autism,” except for one “seriously flawed” 1998 study. Wrong again. The CDC’s own senior research scientist Dr. William Thompson came forward and publicly admitted research fraud on the agency’s primary study done to prove there was no MMR-autism link. Another study listed on the CDC’s website as proof of no connection between vaccines and autism was conducted by a known felon who is still at large and listed on the US Government’s Most Wanted list. On the other hand, there are at least 139 research papers that support the vaccine-autism link.
Overall, the PLOS One study could be interpreted as showing that the public is simply no longer buying into the lies spun by the vaccine industry. The interesting point is that accurate, inconvenient facts about the failures, dangers, and corruption surrounding vaccination can be easily found. Vaccine inserts, peer-reviewed studies, legal rulings, whistleblower admissions, and personal experiences are all readily available, serving to refute the simplistic, often insulting, vaccine talking points forced upon the awakening public.
Science, by its very nature, is never settled. And history shows that the medical community, with its long track record of industry collusion, often gets it wrong in spectacular fashion. The same medical establishment forcing vaccines is also the one that told us formula was superior over breast milk and cigarettes were healthy. It is the same medical establishment whose officials sat by silently, or sometimes publicly endorsed, dietary fads such as aspartame, margarine, and high fructose corn syrup. Although the PLOS One study’s title “misinformation lingers” implies that the public is not retaining “facts,” what it really shows is that the current flawed vaccine narrative is being increasingly seen for what it is. The study did get one thing absolutely correct: the more the medical community and the CDC push their vaccine propaganda, the faster and larger the mass awakening becomes to the truth about vaccines.
