They didn&#8217;t want to go there. It was too scary. Too threatening to the status of their newspapers and magazines.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Lesson learned in the late 1980s: if you want to go deep, go independent.<br \/>I never looked back.<br \/>Here are three examples of going deep:<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n    <strong>ONE:<\/strong> Proponents claim a vaccine stimulates a person&#8217;s immune system to produce antibodies, which are immune-system scouts.<br \/>This is supposedly a rehearsal. The immune system gets a chance to respond to a &#8220;test run&#8221;, so that when the real disease hits, the immune-defense will be ready and will knock out the disease quickly.<br \/>Except there are many diagnostic tests for disease that look for antibodies, and if antibodies show up, the doctor tells the patient he has the disease.<br \/>It&#8217;s absurd.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Antibodies from a vaccine=immunity, they say. Same antibodies produced by the body in response to a germ entering the body=illness, they say.<br \/>On top of this insanity, antibodies are only one component of a very complex immune system. The production of antibodies doesn&#8217;t guarantee a person&#8217;s whole immune system is in good shape.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In 1987 I queried the FDA about the development of an HIV vaccine. Here is what I was told: if a vaccine was ever deployed, it would produce antibodies to HIV and the person would be given a letter to carry around with him in case he was ever tested for HIV.<br \/>The letter would say, this person is immune from HIV. The antibodies are an indication of immunity, not disease.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">You see, the two standard diagnostic tests for HIV were the Elisa and the Western Blot. They both tested for antibodies. If a person tested positive, he was told he had AIDS.<br \/>But if the SAME antibodies were produced by the vaccine, he&#8217;d be designated immune from AIDS.<br \/>No, that couldn&#8217;t be, you&#8217;d say.<br \/>Yes, it could be and was.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n    <strong>TWO:<\/strong><br \/>\n    Obamacare is about control, so it&#8217;s an answer to the prayers of the medical cartel.<br \/>So what do we know about their mainstream medicine, the hospital-based drug-addled modern version?<br \/>On July 26, 2000, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a landmark review by Dr. Barbara Starfield (Johns Hopkins School of Public Health), titled Is US health really the best in the world?<br \/>In it, Starfield revealed what many people inside the medical establishment already knew: every year, like clockwork, the medical system was killing huge numbers of people.<br \/>Each year in the US, as Dr. Starfield reported, there are:<br \/>&#8211; 12,000 deaths from unnecessary surgeries;<br \/>&#8211; 7,000 deaths from medication errors in hospitals;<br \/>&#8211; 20,000 deaths from other errors in hospitals;<br \/>&#8211; 80,000 deaths from infections acquired in hospitals;<br \/>&#8211; 106,000 deaths from FDA-approved correctly prescribed medicines.<br \/>The total of medically-caused deaths in the US every year is 225,000 (a conservative estimate).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This makes the medical system the third leading cause of death in America, behind heart disease and cancer.<br \/>In the wake of Starfield&#8217;s devastating report, other facts came to light: 2.1 million people in America, every year, are hospitalized as a result of reactions to FDA-approved medicines. Annually, 36 million serious adverse reactions to those drugs occur.<br \/>So, inclusive health coverage for many more Americans under the Obama Plan means these horrendous figures will rise.<br \/>This is the dirty secret.<br \/>Obama and his allies were promoting a medical system that is the third leading cause of death in America. It&#8217;s that stark and it&#8217;s that simple.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-top-color: ; border-left-color: ; border-bottom-color: ; border-right-color: \" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/all_uploads\/uploads-dec17\/ianuarie\/09.01.2018\/14209\/14209_2.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"366\" \/>\n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n    <strong>THREE:<\/strong> The gold standard test for disease diagnosis is called the PCR.<br \/>Example: ABC New York reports (in Mount Sinai patient likely does not have Ebola, health official says): &#8220;Testing for Ebola is done at the CDC. According to a CDC spokesperson testing for Ebola takes 1-2 days after they receive the samples. The primary testing is PCR. This is performed on blood that has been treated to kill and live virus [sic]. So far CDC has tested samples from around 6 people who had symptoms consistent with Ebola and a travel history to the affected region.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">But the PCR test is completely unreliable for a disease diagnosis. Why? Two reasons. First, technicians start with a tiny, tiny sample of genetic material from the patient. This sample is supposed to be part of a virus. It may or may not be. Mistakes can be made. Obviously, the techs want the sample to be viral in nature; otherwise, the diagnostic test will be complete bust.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">But more importantly, the whole rationale for PCR is wrongheaded. Doctors and researchers only find a miniscule bit of hopefully relevant material in the patient to begin with. The PCR amplifies that bit many times so it can be observed. That&#8217;s the whole rationale behind the PCR.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">But to consider the possibility that a virus is causing a disease in a patient, there must be huge numbers of that virus working actively in his body.<br \/>The PCR never establishes that.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Finding a tiny, tiny trace of viral material in a patient says absolutely nothing about whether he is ill, has been ill, or will become ill.<br \/>The PCR test is an irrelevant bust and a lie.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Those are just three examples, out of many, where &#8220;going deep&#8221; gets you a strange stare and glare from medical editors at newspapers and magazines.<br \/>They run away. They disappear. They huff and puff and turn red in the face. They do whatever they can to let you know you&#8217;re no longer welcome in their presence.<br \/>It&#8217;s fun. I used to enjoy pitching stories like these to the guardians on the watchtower of truth. Their various reactions were priceless. I used to call it &#8220;watching the egg crack&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">And it&#8217;s instructive. You find out where the boundaries are. You learn, in your gut, how shallow and fear-ridden the mainstream news business is, behind its pompous front.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">You discover what &#8220;going independent&#8221; really means. That&#8217;s very important. Because if you&#8217;re going to leave the fold, your commitment to what you&#8217;re writing has to become relentless.<br \/>Fortunately, I discovered &#8220;relentless&#8221; was right up my alley.<br \/>It makes a cloudy day turn sunny.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Since those days when I made my exit, I&#8217;ve watched many reporters I know stop being reporters. Some of them went into real estate. Some started selling cars. Some became teachers at prep schools. Some landed jobs with partisan think-tanks and foundations.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">And some are still around, turning out fake news like pancakes at a diner. Their faces are gray. They&#8217;re standing over their griddles like robots.<br \/>In off-the-cuff conversations, I told them they were making a mistake. They didn&#8217;t want to listen. I told them how vastly bored they would become.<br \/>They said it wasn&#8217;t a problem.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">But it is a problem. Especially when the truth is the first casualty.<br \/>It always is the first casualty, in the news biz.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&#160;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n    <strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>January 9, 2018<\/strong><br \/>\n    \n  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#160; By Jon Rappoport, Waking Times Deep medical fraud and the destruction of health: this was the subject that prompted me to exit the news business.As I probed deeper into that swamp, I found editors running away from my story-pitches.
