This week, we rejoice our 14th anniversary of Vaccine Consciousness Week. On this video, Barbara Loe Fisher, cofounder and president of the Nationwide Vaccine Info Middle (NVIC) — which celebrated its forty first anniversary as a corporation in April 2023 — shares analysis on the censorship of vaccine info that she’s compiled for the U.S. Home Judiciary Choose Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Authorities.
As traditional, I’ll match all donations made to the NVIC throughout this week, so it’s a good time to contribute, as every greenback you give can be doubled.
It’s been 15 years since I first made the dedication to help this extraordinary group that fights for medical freedom like no different, and through the COVID pandemic we got here to see simply how essential this work actually is. Shopper freedom of alternative and bodily autonomy with regards to decision-making concerning vaccines can really be a matter of life and dying.
The Why Behind 15 Years of Persecution
Whereas the NVIC has labored towards headwind because the starting, the general public assaults, persecution, demonization, discrimination and censorship actually took on new dimensions through the COVID pandemic.
“I made a decision that I needed to know precisely by whom, and why NVIC and my voice have been silenced on-line,” she says. “We knew, notably in 2015, with the Disneyland measles outbreak, that the warmth was on. Clearly, the objective by the pharmaceutical lobbyists that had joined with authorities was to have everybody take each federally really useful vaccine.
They usually knew that our opposition — the work we … had been doing since 2010, to coach legislators about the truth that they should have knowledgeable consent protections of vaccine legal guidelines — was an enormous impediment. In my analysis, I noticed that it was round 2009, while you lent your help to NVIC, that the persecution truly started.
Truthfully, that is what I notice now. On this report, I’ve gone in chronological order and I deliver the reader alongside to allow them to see how, each step of the way in which, this was executed.
Final evening I stated, ‘This reads like against the law novel.’ It is unbelievable what has been executed as a result of a bunch of oldsters in 1982, whose youngsters had been injured by DPT vaccine, determined to tackle the pharmaceutical business and massive public well being.
The 1986 Nationwide Childhood Vaccine Damage Act was a serious piece of laws that principally stated vaccine security must be a nationwide precedence; that vaccines do injure and kill, and that was the primary time that had been acknowledged.
From that time on, the pharmaceutical business knew that they needed to do one thing to cease this. However it took them a very long time. What I’ve executed is, I’ve gone into the paperwork. What’s wonderful to me is it is all on-line. All you must do is put it collectively.
This report is anchored by over 300 references, dwell linked. In order a reader, you’ll be able to go in and skim the paperwork your self, and resolve for your self if what I’ve discovered right here is without doubt one of the most unbelievable tales within the historical past of drugs.”
COVID Unmasked the Police State
Fisher goes on to overview among the most up-to-date paperwork, reminiscent of a 2019 Division of Homeland Safety (DHS) report on “Combating Focused Disinformation Campaigns, a Complete of Society Subject.”1 Half 2 of that DHS report got here out in August 2021.2
Thoughts you, the primary a part of this report got here out earlier than COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, clearly demonstrating that censoring the web didn’t start with the notion that folks needed to be shielded from “misinformation” about COVID. They’ve been transferring within the route of controlling info on-line for a very long time. The pandemic was simply an excuse that allowed them to cease pretending that info management wasn’t a key objective.
“Who do we’ve assembly [here]? The FBI, Fannie Mae, the MITRE Company, Nationwide Oilwell Varco, Booz Hamilton, College of Florida, Levin School of Legislation, Northern California Regional Intelligence Middle.
This can be a assembly that’s principally attempting to say that the web must be policed, that social media platforms must make certain that info that’s not formally blessed, if you’ll, just isn’t on the web.”
Then got here a 2020 report by the Sabin-Aspen Vaccine Science & Coverage Group, “Assembly the Problem of Vaccination Hesitancy.”3 This report was funded by the Invoice & Melinda Gates Basis, which is massively invested in vaccines and vaccine growth.
A Hate Group Doing What Hate Teams Do
In the summertime of 2020, the Middle for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) additionally revealed “The Anti-Vaxx Trade,”4 after which the demonization of these questioning the COVID jabs actually took off.
That report was adopted by “The Anti-Vaxx Playbook: Exposing Anti-Vaxxers’ Lethal Plan to Disrupt COVID Vaccines, and How We Can Cease Them,”5 revealed by the CCDH in December 2020, three months after the NVIC held its fifth worldwide public convention on vaccination.
“That was actually the all-out frontal assault on anyone that’s branded an anti-vaxxer,” Fisher says. “And in that report, once more, NVIC, myself, you [Dr. Mercola] and others who spoke on the NVIC convention are focused and demonized in vicious language.
Imran Ahmed, who based the Middle for Countering Digital Hate, is a political operative out of England who now has come to america within the Washington, D.C., space to do his work, attempting to discredit, demonize and cease anyone who doesn’t conform with what the World Well being Group and U.S. authorities decides is the proper vaccine info.”
In a December 22, 2020, Twitter put up,6 the CCDH said that “Anti-vaxxers have been assembly secretly to plan how one can cease the COVID vaccine. We have been there. As we speak we’re exposing their playbook.” The report additionally claims to cite “leaked audio” from the convention.
The fact of the scenario was that there was no audio to be “leaked” as a result of it was a PUBLIC convention, open to completely anybody and everybody. It was about as removed from a “secret assembly” as you possibly can presumably get. For the reason that CCDH admitted “being there,” they will need to have paid the nominal attendance price, as did hundreds of others. So, the complete premise and context of that report was a lie.
CCDH Is the True Misinformation Superspreader
The CCDH additionally fabricated information to help a false narrative in it’s March 21, 2021, “Disinformation Dozen” report,7,8,9 during which Ahmed falsely claimed 12 individuals and/or organizations have been liable for 65% of all anti-vaccine content material on social media and 73% of vaccine misinformation on Fb.
In mid-August 2021, after conducting an inside investigation, Monika Bickert, vp of Fb content material coverage, publicly known as out the falsehoods in “The Disinformation Dozen” report, stating:10
“There isn’t any proof to help this declare … In actual fact, these 12 individuals are liable for about simply 0.05% of all views of vaccine-related content material on Fb. This contains all vaccine-related posts they’ve shared, whether or not true or false, in addition to URLs related to these individuals.”
Bickert highlighted the truth that Ahmed had preselected the 12 people listed within the report, and that his “defective narrative” was primarily based on nothing greater than “a slender set of 483 items of content material over six weeks from solely 30 teams, a few of that are as small as 2,500 customers.”
Regardless of that, a protracted record of officers continued to quote the CCDH’s fabricated claims. What’s extra, despite the fact that Fb admitted the CCDH’s claims have been bogus, they nonetheless took motion towards accounts by making use of penalties and/or bans.
The Rise of the Censorship Industrial Advanced
In February 2021, the WHO issued the “WHO Public Well being Analysis Agenda for Managing Infodemics.”11
“How they outline ‘infodemic’ is principally ‘an excessive amount of info.’ We’ve got an excessive amount of info. They have to be the arbiters of what’s reality; they have to be those to inform all people what to suppose,” Fisher says.
The next month, the Johns Hopkins Middle for Well being Safety on the Bloomberg Faculty of Public Well being revealed “Nationwide Priorities to Fight Misinformation and Disinformation for COVID-19 and Future Public Well being Threats: A Name for Nationwide Technique,”12 and in June, the Nationwide Safety Council issued “Nationwide Technique for Countering Home Terrorism.”13
The subsequent month, July 2021, the U.S. surgeon basic issued an advisory, “Confronting Well being Misinformation,”14 which, like so many others, referenced the CCDH’s fabricated “Disinformation Dozen” report that focused me, the NVIC and the Natural Customers Affiliation (OCA) — two of my Well being Liberty companions — for destruction.
“Subsequent you could have ‘Memes, Magnets, and Microchips: Narrative Dynamics Round COVID-19 Vaccines,’15 by the Virality Venture, put out by the Stanford Worldwide Observatory, the NYU Middle for Social Media Politics, the College of Washington Middle for an Knowledgeable Public and Graphika. It goes on and on …
And what’s so unbelievable is that what it exhibits is that the federal authorities, the Division of Homeland Safety, the Division of State, the Division of Well being and Human Companies, the Division of Protection and extra, joined with companies and establishments in society, notably universities, to create what is thought now, or is described by some, as ‘the censorship industrial advanced,’ or ‘the disinformation industrial advanced.’
It’s an unbelievable story about how unusual residents on this nation, notably myself and NVIC, who’ve been working for 41 years with the federal authorities, with state governments, doing work in a civil and accountable means — the way in which we’re imagined to do it on this consultant constitutional republic after we wish to change one thing — we have been focused for elimination from the digital public sq. merely for attempting to be good residents.”
Authorities Has Been Weaponized Towards Its Folks
As talked about, Fisher’s report can be introduced to the U.S. Home Judiciary Choose Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Authorities, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan.
“He is a really brave man,” Fisher says, “as a result of he’s digging down within the testimony that is being submitted. Certainly one of my references is ‘The Weaponization of CISA: How a ‘Cybersecurity’ Company Colluded With Massive Tech and ‘Disinformation’ Companions to Censor People’16 [an interim staff report of the subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government].
[CISA] is the cybersecurity company inside the Division of Well being and Human Companies. The testimony that is already been submitted to that committee is phenomenal, and that testimony is in these greater than 300 references that I’ve within the report.
I am very glad I did it, but it surely was a sobering expertise. I’m nonetheless attempting to cope with what I discovered, and I really feel like everybody wants to know that it is a second in historical past when we’ve a option to make. We’re both going to face up … and battle for our proper to freedom of thought, speech and conscience, or we are going to dwell as slaves for the remainder of this century.
It reads like against the law novel, and I really feel like I’ve lived by it. And, look … we’re nonetheless standing. We’re nonetheless right here, we’re nonetheless in a position, no less than proper now … to speak on-line with our followers, by your e-newsletter, by the NVIC web sites.
How lengthy that is going to final, I do not know … as a result of our web sites have dropped by half by way of guests. We’re off of Fb, we’re off of Instagram, we’re off of YouTube. All my commentaries for greater than a decade, utterly gone. When Elon Musk bought Twitter … NVIC was restored to that platform, however apart from that main platform, we’re blocked [everywhere].
And on December 21, 2021, 18 members of the U.S. Home of Representatives from one political celebration wrote a letter to PayPal and informed them to take me and NVIC off that platform, in order that no person might donate to NVIC by PayPal. I imply, that is an all-out assault, attempting to obliterate a small nonprofit charity.
We’re a small charity, however we have been capable of ring a bell inside many People and lots of legislators who understood the significance of defending knowledgeable consent rights with regards to taking a medical danger, on this case, a vaccine danger.”
A Nice Awakening Is Underway
Following Fisher’s report, Daybreak Richardson’s report on the NVIC’s legislative efforts in 2023 can be launched. The excellent news there may be that NVIC has tracked greater than 1,000 legislative payments and posted greater than 700 of them on the NVIC advocacy portal, and never a single state ended up passing a COVID vaccine mandate.
Additionally, no state handed a minor consent invoice that might permit docs to influence youngsters with out their dad and mom’ data or consent to get vaccinated.
“There was an awakening within the state legislatures,” Fisher says. “So, there are two occasions as many optimistic vaccine payments, which we supported, than unfavourable vaccine payments. It is an unbelievable story … It’s a miracle, with all the pieces they’ve thrown towards us …
So, I urge all people to please tune in on November 1, after we launch this report. Learn it, share it along with your family and friends, and please, we have been ghosted and we do want donations. We’d like your help to proceed to do that work that we have been doing for 41 years.”
Who Advantages From the ‘Higher Good’ Narrative?
On the finish of the day, the censorship of unfavourable vaccine info comes right down to defending earnings — pharmaceutical earnings — despite the fact that lives can be misplaced within the course of. On this sense, the vaccine agenda is similar to the warfare business, which sacrifices the lives of younger women and men to protect private central bank interests. Fisher notes:
“For a few years, I stated it is about ideology, and my pricey husband would say, ‘No, Barbara, it is about enterprise, it is in regards to the cash.’ Nicely, you recognize what? It’s about cash.
On the finish of the day, that is a few pharmaceutical business and their companions, together with academia, together with numerous different establishments in society, who’ve determined that there can be no opposition to the mass use of vaccines — each vaccine that the pharmaceutical business creates.
However vaccination has been used as a political instrument, no query. And that is the place ideology is available in, this concept that you just do not need the fitting to guard your bodily integrity, or that of your minor youngster; that you could take the danger for the nice of society. That is the utilitarian rationale, ‘for the better good.’
A minority of individuals might be sacrificed in service to the remaining … Nicely, that is a really handy ideology to undertake while you need energy, and while you wish to revenue from the exploitation of individuals.
And that is, to me, what all of it comes right down to: energy and revenue, and the individuals are the victims of this hierarchy that has been established globally, this infrastructure that those that have the wealth of the world are working in …
I’ve been very centered on that pseudo-ethic and defending knowledgeable consent. However after I did this report, I went, ‘Wait a minute, that is in regards to the cash. Pure and easy, it is enterprise.’ And that is disturbing.
I am disturbed by the truth that so many establishments in society, notably educational establishments, have been co-opted by the cash. It is rather harmful. And actually, we have got a melding of presidency with huge enterprise, which is fascism. It’s horrifying, actually, and must cease.
Authorities cash shouldn’t be used to attempt to demonize individuals and drive them out of the general public sq.. The entire challenge of freedom of thought, speech and conscience is such a elementary freedom challenge, and I actually hope that the report I’ve written will assist open some individuals’s eyes to how the difficulty of vaccination has been used to attempt to discriminate towards and silence individuals within the public sq. …
The opposite factor that simply blows my thoughts is, they’ve all these behavioral psychologists attempting to determine how one can change all people. All of those papers revealed within the educational journals are about ‘How can we work out methods to alter the values and beliefs of people who find themselves resisting vaccination?’
Is that the function of presidency, actually? Is the function of presidency to return in and attempt to screw round along with your thoughts and your private beliefs so that you will do what they need you to do? That is really Orwellian.”
In fact, the explanation authorities is attempting to brainwash individuals into utilizing sure merchandise is as a result of their pursuits are the identical as the companies’ pursuits, which, once more, is the very definition of fascism.
Push for Vaccine Mandates Has Backfired Massive-Time
A silver lining to the devastating fiasco of the mRNA COVID pictures is that People have lastly realized that not solely do they not work, however they’re additionally extremely harmful. As of October 12, 2023, solely 7 million People had rolled up their sleeves to obtain the most recent reformulated mRNA shot.
Assuming the U.S. inhabitants is 340.47 million individuals,17 7 million is simply about 2.06%, and an October 2023 research18 tells us the explanation for this drop-off — 54.9% of beforehand jabbed individuals are skipping additional boosters attributable to fears about their security.
One other 39.5% are skipping it as a result of they’ve already had COVID, 28.6% doubt the booster will present further safety over the pictures already obtained, and 23.1% don’t imagine it’ll shield them from an infection.
However individuals are not solely waking as much as the potential dangers of mRNA pictures. They’re additionally beginning to query the protection and effectiveness of typical vaccines as effectively, which is the precise reverse of what all this censorship was meant to realize.
“The polls are displaying a lessening of confidence in vaccination due to what they did with the COVID vaccine,” Fisher says. “So, lots of people are simply going to skip that flu shot this 12 months.
There’s an uneasiness about vaccination proper now, and I believe it is their very own fault. It is the fault of the federal businesses and the pharmaceutical corporations that attempted to oversell this product, tried to make all people afraid that they have been going to die in the event that they did not get it.
There was like an 80% uptake on this nation of 1 COVID shot. That is an enormous, big uptake. Nevertheless, now, on the fifth booster individuals are simply saying, ‘I do not suppose so.’ So, Pfizer introduced this week that they are having to chop $3 billion in bills and in workers, et cetera, as a result of they aren’t capable of meet the projections for his or her stockholders of the uptake of the COVID booster.”
Shopper Advocacy Is Important
In closing, it’s essential to appreciate simply how impactful the NVIC has been over the previous 41 years, and why it’s so important to help its continued work.
“If NVIC had not shaped in 1982, if we had not gone into the states in 2010 and educated legislators on this challenge and labored with households within the states, this nation would’ve had a COVID vaccine mandate for kids. I haven’t got any query in my thoughts about that,” Fisher says.
“The mix of schooling and advocacy has completely modified the panorama of the necessary vaccination infrastructure on this nation. And it was executed as a result of dad and mom of vaccine injured youngsters determined that their youngsters weren’t a suitable sacrifice.
This is a vital level, as a result of the entire teams which have shaped since 1982, notably within the final 10 years, are driving on the again of the bottom that we plowed. And I could not be happier or extra happy about that as a result of our affect has allowed different teams to type and be larger megaphones to warn those that it is a downside.
The necessary vaccination system just isn’t humane, it is not one thing that must be allowed. You can’t throw individuals beneath the bus. You need to care and worth each life. And regardless of all of this persecution and all of this ghosting and elimination from on-line platforms, we’re nonetheless standing. I really feel very a lot that you just, and all of the individuals who have donated to us through the years, performed an enormous function in serving to us survive.”
Assist Us Defend Medical Freedom
Funds are tight for a lot of proper now; we perceive that. But when you can also make a donation, even when it’s solely a greenback or two, please do. Each greenback counts, and I’ll match no matter you give. That is essential work, and we can’t do it alone.
In the event you donated up to now, know that your generosity is finally what helped forestall COVID shot mandates on this nation, and that’s no small feat. It really speaks to the ability of client advocacy and schooling.
“It is a really grassroots motion, and it is of unusual people who find themselves doing extraordinary issues as a result of they imagine that on this nation, we should always have freedom of thought, speech, and conscience, and we should always have the fitting to talk within the public sq. civilly, constructively.
That is what America’s all the time been about. I imagine it is a shameful, shameful period in U.S. historical past and I pray that it’s consigned to the dustbin of historical past prior to later. Like I say, we’re at a cross-roads on this nation. These tradition wars are tearing us aside. However hopefully, we will all agree on the Invoice of Rights …
On the similar time, you’ll be able to’t do one thing about one thing you do not perceive, and that is why I did this report. I needed to know, what precisely had occurred and why. It is clear to me now, and I hope it’s going to be clear to different individuals, how the difficulty of necessary vaccination was used as a instrument to build up energy and cash.”
So, once more, in the event you can, please make a donation to NVIC as we speak, and be sure you join with the NVIC advocacy portal, so as to keep abreast of legislative efforts involving medical freedom points in your house state.
