Hilary's Desk

The year 1997 in Australia is etched in my mind, because 17 years ago, the then Minister of Health, Dr Michael Wooldridge, started a fraudulent media campaign stating that Australia's childhood vaccination rates were 53%.  This figure was not only splattered over the Australian Media... it made it into the New Zealand Herald. It didn't matter to him, or the media, that the data he provided was a total lie.  It never occurred to him that he'd even got any facts wrong, like men becoming sterile after MEASLES..... The medical profession knew his vaccination rate data was lies, and stayed silent, sitting back poker-faced with folded arms, silently cheered him on in one of the most blatantly criminally erroneous publicity campaign that had ever taken place.   Until now....

Nothing has changed about the Australian media or medical profession.  Australia's vaccination rates are now the highest they have ever been.

The medical profession knows that.

But the medical profession doesn't actually believe that any patient has the right of real choice about anything.

The medical profession also believes that when it comes to children, any choice other than their own choice, is child abuse.

Most adults tread very lightly when criticising the medical profession, particularly when willing parents put their children forward to be used as instruments of the next emotional blackmail campaign. What these same adults don't realise, is that once the clampers are screwed down, and their right to also say "no" has gone, then they too will be lined up, and jabbed without being able to say "no" for themselves either.

And when a person is too scared to say "no", to anything, then choice, ... and informed consent has disappeared.  And if people stand around and do nothing about it, then they will join Germany in the Hall of Historical Shame. For that reason, this letter has been sent to Fairfax Media.

Letter to Editor, Sydney Morning Herald.

Dear Sir,

I am responding to two pieces published in your paper.  The Editorial yesterday, and your article today:

First your editorial: states:

"By contrast the US state of Washington passed a law in 2011 that bans unvaccinated children from preschool and school. To gain an exemption, parents must first hear information from a doctor, present a doctor's certificate and submit a signed letter. This model encourages the forgetful to vaccinate, gives objectors information that may change their mind and still accepts that some people make informed choices. It has lifted immunisation levels."

While “someone” might have said that, the statistics from Oregon show the increase was .1%. Please see the data below, and note which Department made that information. The text boxes are additions.



I presume you can do basic maths, therefore why did you not notice this?

Your second article is tantamount to fear mongering worthy of the Gestapo.   If you had talked to the STATISTICIANS in Australia’s Ministry of Health, you would know that vaccination rates in Australia in 2010 which were published in March 2013, were the highest they have ever been at 92.3% though I find it highly ironic that while 99% of Australian children are on the national immunisation register, your experts are THREE YEARS BEHIND in the compilation and publication of their data, so I would challenge the figure of 92%. The real rate could well be 94 – 95%.

However, I’m not at all surprised that the majority of the Australian medical profession have failed to correct your published inaccuracies, (with the exception of Julie Leask – but then you don’t listen to her either, except when her survey suits you to whip up unfounded hysteria).

I suspect that their silence is partly because concentrating on a handful of infections which are NOT caused by unvaccinated children,  deflects your reporters from asking for accountability regarding the horrendous annual deaths and disabilities caused by the medical profession in Australia every year.  Note, that whereas in the past (2001 report, 50 permanent disabilities and 10,000 deaths annually), deaths were counted, now the death total is never mentioned or published.  Those numbers, and the emotional fall out from them,  vastly outstrip any possible numbers of deaths, disabilities and mental anguish annually, from all the diseases for which there are any vaccines.

The medical profession at large are probably quite content to be standing in the bleachers cheering, as you point the finger at parents who exercise democratic choice, while ignoring all the people in hospital trusting the medical system, who have no CHOICE about the stupid mistakes the medical profession makes, and gets away with, all the time.

There is a cynical hypocrisy surrounding the medical professions' silence regarding your published inaccuracies on the Australian vaccination rates. Perhaps you need to consider that, like the Germans before the second world war, Fairfax media COULD BE being used by the medical profession, to mindlessly yell "Heil Hitler" - as in the media campaign orchestrated by Dr Michael Wooldridge in 1997. On the basis of an ABS vaccination survey – he stated that Australia’s vaccination rate was 53%. That statement reached the New Zealand Herald February 5th 1997 in an article titled, “Australian Children dying for want of immunisation.” The NZ Herald stated Dr Michael Wooldridge as saying:



On page 2 in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health 1997, Volume 21, Number 1, was this statement:



At no point did the medical profession make any attempt to publicly correct the media's inaccurate portrayal of vaccination rates in 1997.

Thirteen years later in 2010, the officially published vaccination rates by CDI were 92.3%.

How can you write a 2013 article, on figures which are three years out of date?

Why have you not been given the official Australian National Immunisation Register data for vaccination rates in 2013?

Are you innocently make non-vaccinating parents the "new Jews" as a result of the medical profession's complicit silence?

Is the continued media finger-pointing at non-vaccinating parents simply a strategy to divert attention away from the medical system's huge annual rates of deaths and disability from preventable medical error?

Preventable medical error, is where the real "abuse" crimes lie, and that is something that Fairfax media should be reminding them of, at every possible publishing opportunity, because the cost to the Australian taxpayer for preventable medical error runs into billions of dollars, and is greater than the cost to the taxpayer of the whole of the vaccination schedule and "immunable infections" put together.

Will the next demand from the medical profession be that you publish a demand, whereby parents must sew a "Star of David"-type pogrom on unvaccinated children, as well? You remember where the Jewish pogrom programme led, don't you?

Sincerely,

Hilary Butler.  Continue Reading

Following on from the medieval war of words on measles......., lies, emotional blackmail, weasel words and chameleon science is also being purveyed in the whooping cough battle.

Starting with the most obvious, is Vaccinet’s trumpeting headline about a Washington whooping cough outbreak recently that: "Anti-vaccine movement causes the worst whooping cough epidemic in 70 years."  Meanwhile other provaccine sites –while taking the line that everyone should have their pertussis shots with breakfast, no matter what age – at least have the decency not to lie in the text, even if the videos are outright blackmail.  Who in their right mind would leave a baby coughing, on their backs?. The medical profession says, about the Washington outbreak, that:  Continue Reading

Yesterday I wrote a blog about the Sunday Herald flu propaganda, which resulted in the Herald removing the original article and replacing the Sunday on Herald emotional blackmail with different Pap. Not content with that, the vaccine "stakeholders" must have also said, "Oi, while we're on the phone, can we rope in Rudman?  He's pretty gullible..." and on cue, he produced an "opinion" rant, while Martin Johnson, produced a plodding report.  Tomorrow I will have a go at Rudman's Rant.

Today, the Herald printed it's usual annual flu propaganda (I've removed the URL) and a private email to the reporters who put their names to it, was returned. The Herald doesn't allow enough words on the comment facility to deal with the issues, and they only want videos or photos, not facts. Therefore, this blog will address the issues.

Close Up's programme on whooping cough, was a triumph of emotional blackmail using a cute baby with whooping cough, to push a policy which doesn't work.  But worse than that, was the standard of discussion on Close up's facebook page.  You know that eminence based manipulation has truly scraped the bottom of the barrel when Grant Jacobs obliquely counsels all readers not to even look at the scientific links put up, .... inferring that those who don’t have the right background won’t understand the studies posted implying that there is no need for anyone else to look at them either

This week's "The Science" contains an opinion piece on future vaccines for TB which deserves a historic comment.  The title of the article "Opinion: A TB vaccine blueprint" isn't likely to make headlines in the lay media for pretty obvious but unstated reasons.  They relate to the fact that most parents today, are under the "illusion" that the great white plague was vanquished by the old BCG vaccine used since 1950 in many countries.

In fact, the BCG has done nothing of the sort.  One of the most notable" features" of the BCG vaccine, other than the fact that it's pretty much a useless vaccine, is the fact that the USA has never used the vaccine. 

How many of you knew that?

Here's another fact.  TB declined in USA at the same rate as it declined in the countries which used BCG.

(For anyone reading this in Australia, I did a similar blog in 2008, on Australian media lies on pertussis as well, which you can read here. It also contains full text medical articles and proof that what their media reports is blatantly fictitious propaganda, created by medical people whose only aim is to intentionally deceive the reader by NOT providing the facts. After all, if they provided you with the facts, they wouldn't be able to bully you into "comformity and compliance" would they?)

Dear Nikki,

While what follows may appear to be anger at you, it is not. It’s anger at the medical people who came to you with dogma … not with facts, and have deliberately mislead you. I will prove that to you using their own documents.

( Part 3 of 3 ) So what might happen when you repeatedly bombard a baby’s immune system with vaccines?  Continue Reading

The main and unique intermediary step between a NON-INFLAMMATORY phenotype, which is the default setting in pregnancy and for all baby mammals -  and a more individually competent educated immune system better able to handle the world's dangers and challenges.... is breast milk.  Continue Reading

Following on from yesterday's blog about Paul Offit's Science Friction, .. today's blog is about how Nikki Turner's presentations to the Parliamentary Select Committee are tainted with the same "blight".  Part of Paul Hutchison's recommendations to Parliament included Nikki Turner's unfactual statement (under her IMAC guise) that if vaccination against measles stopped, New Zealand would see 5,000 to 6,000 measles hospitalisation and 20 - 60 deaths per year. A pretty spectacular statement when the medical literature (and Starship hospital policy) makes it so clear that complications and deaths can be radically reduced with vitamin A.  In this upload, you will see IMAC's measles claims, and following that, you will see the death decline graph for New Zealand. Following on from that you will see....   Continue Reading
