How Far Will the Government Go to Cover Up Vaccine Injuries? – Dr. Joseph Mercola 12/6/23

The U.S. government and Big Pharma have long suppressed evidence and dissent regarding unsafe, rushed vaccines, covering up injuries and disasters to maintain profits and vaccination programs. But social media is raising public awareness of vaccine injuries — and that may finally force accountability.

Story at a glance:

  • Something about vaccines (e.g., their promise of a simple injection being sufficient to safely and effectively end all diseases) has always deeply appealed to the minds of government officials.
  • Unfortunately, that promise is often a lie, so over and over, unsafe and ineffective vaccines enter the market. When this happens, the officials who are invested in them do everything they can to protect the vaccines from scrutiny and cover up each red flag that emerges (e.g., by silencing their own scientists).
  • In previous decades, the press was much less corrupt than it is now and occasionally would air real investigations into what happened. I collected many of them (which I hope you can watch) because of how closely they match what is happening now.
  • Since those TV programs made many who were suffering from the vaccine injuries realize they were not alone, this created a massive PR problem for those officials — which was eventually solved by preventing any future segments from airing. This article was written in the hope that collective amnesia could be broken.

Before COVID-19, few people knew that the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) existed, and when it was nonetheless brought up, it was often dismissed as an unreliable resource only the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was qualified to evaluate.

Since so many people have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 vaccines, this, in turn, brought an unparalleled amount of attention to VAERS, and in turn, brought every “expert” out of the woodwork to ridicule its validity and insist that VAERS overestimates vaccine harm (when in reality VAERS severely underestimates it).

Given that VAERS is the “national early warning system to detect possible safety problems in U.S.-licensed vaccines,” it is quite strange that after more than 30 years, no one has fixed it and made it into a reliable resource.

However, when you consider the historical context behind VAERS, the current situation makes a lot of sense.

In this series, I will review a few forgotten events that show just how far the government will go to cover up a deadly and ineffective vaccine and just how similar those coverups were to what we’ve seen throughout the COVID-19 vaccine campaign.

Mass censorship

The Vietnam War was considered by many to be the event that broke the public’s trust in the federal government.

Note: Many believe the specific event that turned the American public against the Vietnam War was the My Lai massacre — an event where American soldiers decided to commit war crimes against Vietnamese civilians until a different group of American soldiers of their own volition decided to stop the massacre.

I went back and forth on explicitly detailing it in this article, as I believe it’s critical to understand what war brings out in people, but I eventually decided it was too graphic for many of the readers.

This loss of trust in the government of course alarmed the government, and led to the Pentagon conducting a coordinated campaign to prevent this from happening again, which was accomplished by:

  • Ending the draft and switching to an all-volunteer army.
  • Ensuring the public was only fed a sanitized picture of what happened in each future war (e.g., with embedded journalists providing government-approved footage and the mass media being strongly discouraged from providing any footage that exposed the horrors of each war).

Note: Major Colin Powell was one of the Pentagon officers who led the effort to cover up the Mai Lei Massacre. He then rose through the ranks, eventually becoming George Bush’s Secretary of Defense and infamously lied to the United Nations about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction — a lie that killed hundreds of thousands of people and cost the U.S. trillions of dollars.

Powell’s case is one of many which illustrates how much the government rewards those who cover up its atrocities.

It is hard to even begin to describe how much work was put into hiding the horrors of war from the public, and sadly it was remarkably effective, transforming war from something much of the American public vehemently opposed to an abstract idea they were largely apathetic towards.

Note: The best documentary I have seen explaining how military propaganda transformed as the decades went by is “Why We Fight.”

In the medical field, a similar wave of mass censorship gradually was implemented, which likewise appeared to have come from the recognition that the pharmaceutical industry could not afford for mainstream coverage to ever be given the dangers of a pharmaceutical product, especially vaccines.

In turn, many of the approaches that were pioneered to cover up the horrific human costs of our foreign wars were adopted by medical-industrial-complex (e.g., the same PR firms that relentlessly sell wars to America sold the COVID-19 vaccines to us).

Turning points in medical censorship

Numerous medical catastrophes have happened which provoked widespread public outrage, and like the Vietnam War, those events caused the government to conclude it was imperative the public was prevented from becoming aware of future medical atrocities. Some of those events include:

The polio vaccine

In 1955, after an expedited approval, a much-heralded vaccine was released by the government, and two weeks later, cases began emerging across America of children who had become paralyzed in the limb that was injected with Jonas Salk’s polio vaccine.

After some investigation, it was discovered that:

  • Only two of the five vaccine manufacturers had produced the same “safe” vaccines used in the clinical trials — which meant many of the vaccines the public got (which at the time were a new experimental technology) had never been tested in humans.
  • At the urging of Salk, when the vaccine was mass-produced, a different and less safe production process was used for the vaccine.
    Note: This also happened with the COVID-19 vaccines and many now believe this is a key reason why they were so dangerous.
  • Bernice Eddy, a National Institutes of Health (NIH) employee immediately discovered this mass-produced vaccine caused paralysis in monkeys.
    Note: Eddy had previously upset the NIH after she discovered that adenovirus vaccines caused cancers (which caused the NIH to put up innumerable obstacles to her work) but eventually Eddy won and adenovirus vaccines stopped being given to children — at least until COVID-19 (as the J&J vaccine is a modified adenovirus).
  • All of the paralyzing vaccines came from the same manufacturer (Cutter Laboratories).
    Note: Later paralyzing lots were also identified from Wyeth (better known for making the highly dangerous DPT vaccine), but the general public was never made aware of it — which the head of the CDC’s polio surveillance unit believed was done to prevent the public from realizing the polio vaccine in general was unsafe and ineffective.
  • The (early) FDA delegated testing of the vaccine for safety to the vaccine manufacturers rather than doing so itself.
  • There were many safety concerns with the testing of the Salk vaccine, but the professional publications chose to censor them and instead continually repeated the message that the vaccine was completely safe and effective.

The public was understandably outraged about this, the government found itself in a public relations crisis, and numerous lawsuits dragged out against Cutter in the courts.

In response to this happening, the federal government then decided to assume a direct involvement in each aspect of the vaccine program, thus switching from being a largely neutral external auditor to being a major stakeholder.

As you might guess, this conflict of interest motivated the government to cover up any safety issues with its vaccines (e.g. to protect its investment or to not look bad to the public), and before long business as usual resumed with the polio vaccine….
