Busted: 25,000 cases of microcephaly in the US per year

Zika not the cause

Microcephaly: babies born with smaller heads and brain impairment. Heard of it? Of course you have. Towering experts are saying it’s caused by the Zika virus in Brazil.

They don’t know how. They don’t know why. But they’re saying it over and over like trained parrots.

They’re saying that, somehow, this virus, which for at least 60 years was causing only mild illness, is now at the heart of all these new cases of microcephaly.

Really? Then why are there 25,000 cases of microcephaly in the US every year?

For science bloggers who live in mommy’s basement and love the statements of the experts, try this. I’ll give you the full citation. Ready?

“Practice Parameter: Evaluation of the child with microcephaly (an evidence-based review)”; Neurology 2009 Sep 15; 73(11) 887-897; Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology and the Practice Committee of the Child Neurology Society.

Here’s the money quote:

“Microcephaly may result from any insult that disturbs early brain growth…Annually, approximately 25,000 infants in the United States will be diagnosed with microcephaly…”

Bang.

Let me take apart that quote. Microcephaly can result from any early insult to the brain. Any.

That could mean a highly toxic pesticide, for example. It could mean severe and prolonged malnutrition of the mother. It could mean a toxic substance injected into the mother—a street drug or a vaccine. It could mean a physical blow. It could mean a mother’s chronic high fever. And so on.

Moving on: 25,000 cases, not just once, but every year in the US, means what? Christopher Columbus actually brought the Zika virus to America in 1492, and it lay dormant for a very long time and then, in the modern age, exploded on the scene in the US?

No. 25,000 cases a year in the US means we’re being treated to an unsupported major bullshit story right now.

That’s what it means.

In a previous article on Zika, I laid out my top six causes for microcephaly in Brazil. None of them was the virus. I cited a study that revealed a link between the pesticide atrazine and microcephaly. Then there is Roundup. In another previous piece, I cited a study linking that herbicide to microcephaly. Etc., etc.

If you carefully read stories in the mainstream press these days, you’ll notice that even there the Zika hypothesis is shaky, to say the least. Here’s a sprinkle:

Start with a paragraph buried in a Reuters story headlined, “Race for Zika vaccine gathers momentum as virus spreads”:

“Zika had been viewed as a relatively mild illness until Brazilian health officials identified it as a matter of concern for pregnant women. While a direct causal relationship has not been established, scientists strongly suspect a link between Zika and thousands of children born in Brazil with abnormally small heads, brain defects and impaired vision.”

No causal relationship established. Scientists strongly suspect. Well, that does it. That seals the deal. I strongly suspect ants eating brown pears will enable them to pilot spaceships to the rim of the Milky Way.

Here is a piece from Quartz (qz.com) titled, “That ‘baby-brain-shrinking virus’ has made it to the US”:

“The real worry, as Brazil’s health ministry has been warning its citizens, is the suspicion—as yet unproven—that women who catch Zika may give birth to children with microcephaly, a neurological disorder that gives them abnormally small brains.”

Suspicion. As yet unproven.

The article continues:

“A 2007 [Zika] outbreak on Yap Islands in Micronesia is estimated to have affected nearly 75% of the population of some 12,000 people, and a 2013 outbreak in French Polynesia affected nearly 28,000 of 270,000 residents. Neither epidemic caused a spike in microcephaly [small baby heads, brain damage].”

Who cares? Just assert Zika is the cause of microcephaly. Just say it is. That’s enough, isn’t it? Oranges cause cancer. Gluten-free bread causes polio.

The BBC, January 28, “Zika virus: Up to four million Zika cases predicted”:

“…there has been a steep rise in levels of microcephaly – babies born with abnormally small heads – and the rare nervous system disorder Guillain-Barre syndrome. The link between the virus and these disorders has not been confirmed, but Dr. Chan [Director General of the World Health Organization] said it was ‘strongly suspected’ and was ‘deeply alarming’.”

I may strongly suspect something and then be deeply alarmed by it, but I’m not going to call it science. Dr. Chan follows a different path. Well, she’s a General. That confers certain privileges, doesn’t it? Troops, maps, GPS satellites, UN dollars.


power outside the matrix


If she really wants to do something valuable, here’s my suggestion. I know she won’t, but… send down a hundred truly independent scientists and techs, and have them test all those Brazilian mothers who’ve given birth to babies with small heads and brain damage. And test the babies, too. Forget the useless antibody and PCR procedures. Take blood and tissue samples and put them under an electron microscope. See if you notice lots and lots of Zika viruses—that is, if you even know what Zika looks like. If you don’t find lots of Zika—and I’m betting you won’t—pack it up, come home, and start thinking about why the virus is being used as a cover story for what is really causing microcephaly. Then you might actually get somewhere.

But getting somewhere isn’t the job of the World Health Organization. Lying is.

False Science: The Parallels

False Science: The Parallels

by Jon Rappoport

June 29, 2010

www.nomorefakenews.com

I want to point out the common factors in certain disease research and global warming research.

First of all, global warming is based on the notion of a single cause: CO2.  Although pro-AGW (anthropogenic global warming) scientists readily admit there are other factors, they all say it is manmade CO2 which has pushed us over the brink.

In the so-called Swine Flu epidemic, the culprit has been announced: H1N1.  It is the cause of the illness.

CO2 has been absurdly isolated from a whole host of other relevant factors, in a highly complex weather system, as the single entity that has “taken the planet to the edge of disaster.”

H1N1 has been absurdly isolated from a whole host of other relevant factors (immune function, horrendous conditions at the La Gloria, Mexico, Smithfield pig farm, where Swine Flu supposedly originated, etc.) as the single entity causing Swine Flu.

When researchers attempt to explain how CO2 creates excessive warming, they run into contrary evidence and unsolved questions.  Ditto for H1N1.  For example, no standard diagnostic tests measure the concentration of the virus in the body—and it is the level of concentration (titer) which differentiates actual illness from mere passenger-viral status.

Swine Flu cases numbers and deaths don’t even begin to approach the figures on seasonal, conventional, run-of-the-mill flu.  In other words, the effect of H1N1 is relatively slight.  In the same way, when models and massaged temperature data are exposed as fraudulent, the picture of planetary warming becomes modest or even trivial.  The effect of CO2 is slight.

In the case of Swine Flu and global warming, alarmist propaganda has propelled these phenomena into money juggernauts.  Furthermore, in both cases, UN agencies have emerged as power players: WHO and IPCC.  Both agencies have globalist goals—central control of populations through over-hyped threats.

This last fact is more apparent in the matter of AGW.  But a wave of phony epidemics has placed WHO in a cardinal position to call shots on national economies and exert pressure to make governments fall into line and surrender aspects of their sovereignty.

The SARS “epidemic,” in which fewer than 1000 deaths have been reported, globally, since 2003, cost Asian economies $40 billion.  Toronto, shut down by WHO travel advisories, lost several billion dollars—and a budding effort to mount a suit against WHO faded away, as residents of the city bit the bullet.

WHO aims to become a vast and permanent international medical infra-structure that will govern all future epidemics, and in the process allocate resources from various governments to poorer nations.  Wealth re-distribution.

Of course, ceiling caps on carbon emissions and a “kinder, gentler” USSR-type allocation of natural resources, globally, is the goal of IPCC.

At the bottom of all this?  False science.  That is the engine.

Swine Flu Death Report

Swine Flu Death Report

by Jon Rappoport

November 30, 2009

Reuters has put the global death figure from Swine Flu at 6,250. That’s the official total from the beginning of the “pandemic” in April.

Doing the math, and extrapolating for the rest of 2009, we get roughly 10,000 deaths. World-wide.

However, the CDC claims that, in the US alone, every year, 36,000 people die from regular ordinary flu.

WHO estimates that, globally, 300,000 to 500,000 people die every year from ordinary regular flu.

Put it together, folks. This whole thing is a sham and a scam.

If we accept all these stats, CDC/WHO should be saying, “Well, thanks to Swine Flu, we’ve had a mild flu season so far.” Or they should be saying, “Swine Flu is nothing. Regular flu is killing far more people, as we speak. Forget Swine Flu.”

Why aren’t major media pounding on this hoax day after day? One, by and large, they’re too stupid. And two, they don’t want to take on the CDC and WHO and the drug companies that are making billions from the vaccine.

Note: There is a vast difference between publishing two or three articles that question the severity of Swine Flu—and mounting a day-in day-out campaign designed to expose the fraud. Two different animals.

With few exceptions, major media don’t run day-in day-out campaigns about anything anymore. The mindset is: here today, gone tomorrow.

To the degree that the legend of the crusading journalist and publisher was ever true…that day is over. You could drop tons of paint from planes and never hit a crusading newspaper.

I should also point out there is a potential domino effect here. IF a major newspaper or TV network decided to expose the CDC/WHO racket on Swine Flu, after all the heavy propaganda about the “pandemic,” other questions would be raised about these lying agencies and their pharmaceutical allies. There would be a piling-on.

Media are certainly not up for that. It would disturb too many icons and expose too many skeletons, and it would directly challenge medical science, big money, and the veracity of many doctors and medical bureaucrats who feed stories to reporters on a regular basis. The whole structure of medical/health reporting would tremble.

SWINE FLU A FRAUD; PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES LYING.

RECENT EPIDEMICS A BUST; PUBLIC FRIGHTENED BY CRIMINALLY FALSE STATEMENTS.

LEADING EXPERT ADMITS WEST NILE, SARS, BIRD FLU, SWINE FLU A BLIP ON THE SCREEN OF DEATH STATISTICS.

106,000 AMERICANS DIE EVERY YEAR FROM THE EFFECTS OF FDA-APPROVED MEDICINES.

US MEDICAL SYSTEMS KILLS 225,000 PEOPLE A YEAR; THIRD LEADING CAUSE BEHIND HEART DISEASE AND CANCER.

CDC, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES LOOK THE OTHER WAY ON MEDICALLY CAUSED DEATHS.

MAJOR TRANQUILIZERS CAUSE 300,000 CASES OF BRAIN DAMAGE.

And so and so forth, the dominos falling.

Collusion between the press and the public health agencies is the barrier that keeps the overall fraud from crashing into view.

“You lie to me, I’ll lie to the public.” That’s the unspoken treaty between reporters and medical bureaucrats.

No wonder television reporters need so much make-up. It has to cover so much.

Update on Swine Flu

Update on Swine Flu

by Jon Rappoport

October 17, 2009

As some of you know, the World Health Organization has listed Swine Flu as a pandemic.  This is yet another step in the direction of getting governments to take “emergency” postures and actions.

Translation: Let’s trash the Bill of Rights where we can and see what happens.  Each one of these fake epidemics (West Nile, SARS, Bird Flu, Swine Flu) provides a test for those who want more control over your life. 

What can they get away with? 

How compliant will you be? 

If the vaccine is made mandatory, will you take it? 

Will you accept a diagnosis of Swine Flu and refrain from questioning its validity? 

If you’re told to take the vaccine and refuse, will you submit to quarantine in your home?

Is there a point at which, even though you feel doubt about the whole charade called Swine Flu, you’ll buckle under the pressure of constant media reports and accept the official line on what Swine Flu is, where it comes from, and what you must do to “behave like a good citizen?”

One central idea you should understand at the core: these “propaganda diseases,” as I call them, all proceed from the growing notion that no one is an individual and we are all part of the Group.  As such, we must “share and care,” become “more responsible” and “more sensitive” to the needs of others.  It’s a big philosophic idea, really, and it’s existed since the dawn of time:

THE GROUP IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

THE GREATEST GOOD FOR GREATEST NUMBER.

However, behind this apparently humane concept lurks the hand of power.  If people can be programmed with this assumption and belief, they can be manipulated on that basis until the cows come home.  They can be told such and such action must be taken, because it is in the “greater interest.”

In the case of Swine Flu, the proposition could approach this climax:  You can’t be allowed to run around as a potential carrier and spreader of the disease.  Therefore, you must take the vaccine.  You must refrain from travel to certain cities.  You must not meet with more than six people at one time.  And so on and so forth.

If you obey the mandates coming down from on high, you’re a good boy and a good girl, and you’re helping the Group.  If you refuse to obey, you’re bad.  You’re an outcast from the Group.  You need to be brought into line.

And now add in this: Swine Flu has never been established, through rigorous and confirmed science, as a legitimate disease.  The test for its presence in an individual is completely flawed and without merit.  From available evidence, what is being labeled Swine Flu is exactly what has been called “flu.”  Ordinary flu. It comes about from many sources, and its remedy does not entail taking drugs or vaccines.

The “protection” that health agencies and governments are offering to “ensure your safety” and the safety of others is without merit.  It amounts to naked control over your life.

Here is a key point.  All the tests being done to determine whether a person has Swine Flu overlook one major factor.  How many Swine Flu viruses are actually in the body of an individual?  Why is that vital?  Because it takes an army of millions to make a dent in the health of a person—and quite often, a person has only a few viruses of a particular kind in his body.  In that case, the result is nil.  Zero.  There is no disease.  There is no illness.

The current tests for Swine Flu ignore this whole issue.  If these tests suggest there is ANY Swine Flu virus present in the patient, he is declared a Swine Flu case.

It’s bad and ludicrous science, and the whole fake epidemic is based on it.
