Ten Swine Flu Lies Told by MSM
(NaturalNews) The mainstream media is engaged in what we Americans call “bald faced lies” about swine flu. It seems to be true with this issue more than any other, and it became apparent to me recently when a colleague of mine — a nationally-syndicated newspaper columnist — told me their column on natural defenses for swine flu was rejected by newspapers all across the country. Many newspapers refused to run the column and, instead, ran an ad for “free vaccine clinics” in the same space.
The media, it seems, is so deeply in bed with the culture of vaccinations that they will do almost anything to keep the public misinformed. And that includes lying about swine flu vaccines.
There are ten key lies that continue to be told by the mainstream media (MSM) about swine flu and swine flu vaccines.
Lie #1 – There are no adjuvants used in the vaccines
I was recently being interviewed by a major U.S. news network when the reporter interviewing me came up with this humdinger: There are no adjuvants being used in the swine flu vaccines, he said!
I assured him that adjuvants were, indeed, a crucial part of the vaccine recipe, and they were being widely used by drug companies to “stretch” the vaccine supply. It’s no secret. But he insisted he had been directly told by a drug company rep that no adjuvants were being used at all. And he believed them! So everything being published by this large news network about swine flu vaccines now assumes there are no adjuvants in the vaccines at all.
Lie #2 – The swine flu is more dangerous than seasonal flu
This lie is finally starting to unravel. I admit that in the early days of this pandemic, even I was concerned this could be a global killer. But after observing the very mild impact the virus was having on people in the real world, it became obvious that this was a mild flu, no more dangerous than a seasonal flu. The MSM, however, continues to promote H1N1 swine flu as being super dangerous, driving fear into the minds of people and encouraging them to rush out and get a vaccine shot for a flu that’s really no more likely to kill them than the regular winter sniffles. Sure, the virus could still mutate into something far worse, but if it does that, the current vaccine could be rendered obsolete anyway!
Lie #3 – Vaccines protect you from swine flu
This is the biggest lie of all, and the media pushes it hard. Getting a vaccine, they insist, will protect you from the swine flu. But it’s just flat-out false. Even if the vaccine produces antibodies, that’s not the same thing as real-world immunity from a live virus, especially if the virus mutates (as they often do). As I pointed out in a recent article, statistically speaking the average American is 40 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to have their life saved by a swine flu vaccine. (http://www.naturalnews.com/026955_s…)
Lie #4 – Vaccines are safe
And how would any journalists actually know this? None of the vaccines have been subjected to real-world testing for any meaningful duration. The “safety” of these vaccines is nothing more than wishful thinking. The MSM also doesn’t want you to know what’s in the vaccines. Some vaccines are made from viral fragments grown in diseased African monkeys. If that sounds incredible, read the true story here: http://www.naturalnews.com/026779_s…
Lie #5 – The vaccine isn’t mandatory
You hear this lie all the time: The swine flu vaccine shot is voluntary, they say. But it’s not true if you’re an employee at a place where vaccines are being mandated. Millions of Americans are now being told by their employers that if they don’t get vaccine shots, they will be effectively fired from their jobs. It’s especially true with health care workers, day care employees and school teachers.
Lie #6 – Getting a vaccine shot is a good bet on your health
In reality, a vaccine shot is far more likely to harm you than help you. According to one viral expert, the actual mortality rate of the swine flu virus is estimated to be as low as .007 percent (http://www.reuters.com/article/heal…). That means H1N1 swine flu kills less than one person in 100,000. Even if the vaccine works, let’s say, 10 percent of the time, you’d have to vaccine one million people to prevent one death from swine flu. And in vaccinating one million people, you would inevitably harm or kill several people, simply from the vaccine side effects! Your net risk of death is increased by getting a swine flu vaccine.
Lie #7 – The vaccine isn’t made with “attenuated live virus”
When the swine flu vaccines were first being announced several months ago, they were described as being made with “attenuated live virus.” This was directly mentioned in CDC documents, among other places. This term apparently freaked out the American news consumer, and it has since been all but erased from any discussion about vaccines. Now, journalists will actually argue with you and insist the vaccines contain no attenuated live viruses whatsoever. Except they’re wrong. The vaccines are, indeed, made with “attenuated live viruses.” That’s how you make a vaccine: You take live viruses, then you weaken them (“attenuate”) and inject them into people.
Lie #8 – Wash, wash, wash your hands (to avoid exposure)
This idea of washing your hands a hundred times a day is all based on the assumption that you can avoid exposure to the swine flu virus. But that’s impractical. The virus is now so widespread that virtually everyone is certain to be exposed to it through the air if not other means. This whole idea of avoiding exposure to the swine flu virus is nonsense. The conversation should shift to ways to survive exposure via a healthy immune system. Of course, hand washing is a very good idea in a hospital setting. Recent news reveals that doctors are too busy to wash their own hands, resulting in the rampant spread of superbugs throughout most large hospitals in first world nations.
Lie #9 – Children are more vulnerable to swine flu than adults
This is just a flat-out lie, but it makes for good vaccine sales. Vaccines are right now being targeted primarily to schoolchildren. But the truth is that swine flu is extremely mild in children. “It’s mildest in kids,” says Dr Marc Lipsitch of Harvard University. “That’s one of the really good pieces of news in this pandemic.” Reuters actually had the guts to report this story, but most of the larger media outlets are still reporting that children are the most vulnerable.
Lie #10 – There is nothing else you can do beyond a vaccine and Tamiflu
This is where the media lies by omission. The mainstream media absolutely refuses to print just about any story that talks about using vitamin D, anti-viral herbs or natural remedies to protect yourself from swine flu. In the MSM, there are two options and only two: Vaccines and Tamiflu. That’s it. No other options exist in their fictional reality.
Why is the mainstream media so afraid to print the truth these days? Why can’t reporting on swine flu see the light of day… literally, with a mention of sunlight and vitamin D? Apparently, Big Pharma has such a tight grip on mainstream newspapers that no true story on swine flu can ever make it past the editor’s desk.
Killing stories, deceiving the public
It must really be depressing to work for the mainstream media. Even the reporters I know can’t stand it. The truth, they admit, rarely makes it into print.
Over the last few years, I’ve had a couple of job offers from large media outlets. They want to pay me a six-figure salary and stick me behind a desk where they can control what I report. Needless to say, I routinely reject those offers. If I can’t write the truth like I do here on NaturalNews.com, there’s no point writing at all. In too many ways, the mainstream media has become little more than a corporate mouthpiece, whoring itself out to the highest bidder / advertiser.
It’s no fault of the frontline reporters who actually work there. For the most part, they agree with what I’m saying. It’s the fault of the profit-oriented corporate mindset where news is about selling newspapers rather than actually informing the public.
Important news stories get killed every day in the newsrooms across America. They get killed not because they are poorly investigated or poorly written, but because they upset advertisers and corporate string pullers who shape the news and reject any stories that threaten their own financial interests.
Here in 2009, the distorted reporting on the swine flu vaccine has been one of the greatest media frauds ever perpetrated. The media has in every way contributed to the widespread ignorance of the American people on the subject of vitamin D and natural immune-boosting defenses that could reduce swine flu fatalities. Rather than informing readers, the MSM has made it a point to keep the people stupid, and in doing so, the media has failed its only mission and betrayed the very audience is claims to serve.

Why not get Dr. Moulden’s testimony and evidence that PROVES ALL vaccines are dangerous and ineffective. His evidence holds up in court and he is smart. He does not go to court to prove the vaccine caused “Autism” or other disorders, he PROVES the vaccine has caused brain damage caused by the vaccine blocking blood flow. The evidence is measurable and cannot be denied.

Moulden has been buried. He got only 200 votes in the election he ran for. Search the web. There are some fancy websites created to discredit him. To me that means bucks. If he should prevail tobacco would be a non event in comparison. So without big bucks behind him, and there arent any, he and his observations are under the rug. Nothing to do with left or right wing. Both wings are neck deep in pharma investments.

To lie #8: Wash, wash, wash your hands…. There is one other negative but subtly pervasive negative impact of this lie. Just like the Bush administration told the American public to “go shopping” during the Iraq invasion, the suggestion to wash your hands (while making sense to some moderate degree) has several other outcomes:
1) It distracts people from the lies being fed to them.
2) It gives people the false sense of doing something of value.
3) It keeps people, by association, in fear as they perform the action as a repetitive ritual to reinforce fear.
I am NOT saying “don’t wash your hands”. This suggestion is a brilliant maneuver to keep people in fear, distracted, and brainwashed through a repetitive ritual that renders them less able to respond to the manipulation they are being subjected to.

You must realize the reason why the truth is not told, it is because most media is owned by the right wing. If you want some truth, watch MSNBC, namely, Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, etc. The other media is owned by GE, Disney, all large corporations. I’m sure you must know this.

MSNBC Pimp: Trust The Government And “Get Your Damn Vaccine” by Kurt Nimmo
Dr. Nancy Snyderman, billed as chief medical editor at NBC News, says when the HHS bureaucrat Kathleen Sebelius speaks, we have to listen. Snyderman tells the talking heads on MSNBC that we should all line up and take our eugenics soft kill H1N1 vaccine.
Sebelius is a member of the globalist Bilderberg Group. Bilderberg advocates modern eugenics and plans to eventually reduce the world’s population by 80%, as called for by the 1974 UN Assessment on Biodiversity.
The H1N1 virus is a big deal, Snyderman pontificates, and it will “cut a swath” through the population. Distrust of the government and big pharma, she warns, may be fatal. “I can’t tell you what to do,” she adds, “but I can tell you what you should do, and what you should do is get this vaccination.” (prision planet news)

There are no “wings” –left or right–to this issue. It just feels good to believe there is a side to take. . .who do you think owns NBC? The info is readily available and you look rather foolish calling this a right wing conspiracy. The left and right issue is a distraction from the truth that this is about corporate interests that are neither left nor right owning and manipulating the info available to the general public.

Harriet,I’m with Flybarb. Don’t you know that GE owns MSNBC and all of the people you have named. What have you been reading? Or, watching? If you watch MSNBC you should know that GE is their parent company.
Don’t you know that the truth is not told because it is easier and more profitable to tell a lie.
You sound extremely misinformed. But, if you watch Keith Olberman, I’m not surprised.

Then, it must have been the ‘right-wing’ owned media that was so barbaric to McCain and Palin AND it must have been the ‘right-wing’ owned media that glorified Obama and refused to reveal any of the lies told by candidate Obama.
Obama clearly stated after election that he favors mandatory vaccinations and is using OUR taxpayer money to poison us with vaccines. Nice!

Harriet you are operating in a false paradigm. MSNBC,Keith Olberman,Rachel Maddow,and Chris Matthews are just as much a part of the problem and just as big a liars as Faux News. Turn off your t.v. and do your own research. If the afore mentioned sources ever tell you the truth I assure you it’s purely by accident.

My understanding is that there are at least two types of vaccines: Live attenuated and inactive/killed. See #7 above.
Please respond to this. Otherwise, I agree with your comments.

I currently have the swine flu—-and believe me, it is the easiest flu I have ever had in my entire life. I’m sick of the propaganda about the swine flu. There is BIG money in the swine flu vaccines. ALL vaccines, in my opinion, are harmful to your health.

I don’t think you have the swine flu….we have it here in my city, and the people that really have it are being rushed into the hospital because they cannot breathe….it is a very bad one. It is obviously just a regular flu that you have because everyone I’ve heard of that’s had it, said it was the hardest thing they’ve endured in their lives and the biggest fear was not being able to breathe…not like asthma, but like cutting off 80% of their airways so they can’t breathe on their own…I don’t know about where you live, but there is no cost to getting the H1N1 flu shot here….they are giving it to everyone in our entire province for free….so if there’s money to be made, their not making it off of the common people.

I got a flu shot ONCE in my life. That was teh only time in 47 years I have ever caught the flu.. THAT SAYS ALLOT…I believe ALL the antibiotics and vaccines are what makes people sick and prone to sickness by tearing down your natural immune system.. All I do it drink plenty of good filtered water, sleep and eat right. I RARELY even catch a cold.. and even then its more like a sniffle. I think ‘ve already delt with this one.. I was dizzy and nauseous for a couple of days but at no point bed ridden or too sick to get up and carry on.. They need to be looking at WHY peeps like me rarely get sick despite TOTAL avoidance of antibiotics and vaccines.
AND ONE MORE THING WHILE I AM ON A RANT!

British Columbia (BC) might suspend seasonal flu shots as early as Monday [28 Sep 2009] for people who aren’t seniors, in the wake of a Canadian study that suggests people who get the normal flu vaccine are twice as likely to contract H1N1 [pandemic 2009] virus infection. Several news outlets have reported the preliminary findings of the study, which is still under peer review. Researchers found that those who received the seasonal flu vaccine in the past were more likely to catch H1N1 [pandemic 2009 virus] infection.
While the research was initially met with much skepticism from health officials, several provinces, including Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, have suspended seasonal flu shots for anyone younger than 65, the Globe and Mail newspaper is reporting in its Monday [28 Sep 2009] editions. Quebec announced its decision on Sunday [27 Sep
2009], postponing regular flu shots until January [2010] to devote the fall vaccination season to the wave of expected H1N1 [pandemic 2009 virus] infections. New Brunswick, on the other hand, announced last week that it will stick to its plans to offer seasonal flu shots in October [2009].
The BC Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport is holding a news conference Monday [28 Sep 2009] morning at 9:30 to make what is billed as “an announcement around BC’s seasonal flu vaccine campaign.” Jeff Rudd, ministry spokesman, would not confirm whether minister Ida Chong will announce a suspension of the vaccine. “I can’t say what [the announcement] is about,” Rudd said. “All I can say is it has to do with the sequencing of vaccines.” Chong will be joined by provincial health officer Dr Perry Kendall and Dr David Patrick, director of epidemiology services for the BC Centre for Disease Control.
Last week, Kendall told CBC News that the uncertainty around how the flu shot interacts with the pandemic flu shot makes “decision-making a lot more complex.” He said: “It would be very nice to have information cut and dried, and very clear in advance in plenty of time to make the decisions. But that isn’t, unfortunately, the world that we’re living in.”
The lead researchers behind the controversial study were Danuta Skowronski of the BC Centre for Disease Control and Gaston De Serres of Universite Laval in Ste Foy, Quebec, according to news reports.

Want to prevent the flu….drink lots of clean water, take Vit D, C, astragulus, sacred basil and other adaptogens.
Eat local and seasonal. Keep clean…take salt baths, salt gargles, ocean swims. Keep the kidneys and neck warm. Rest, and watch your stress. Feel like you getting something take goldenseal and echinacea, and oscillococcinum. breathe fresh air .Keep positive, pray, laugh, cry, love.

Dusty make a lot of sense! I’ve never had a flu shot and have never had the flu. I been in the midst of family members that have had the flu, and any number of contagious illnesses. I too have never had more than a mere sniffle. I also have to mention that I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and had my thyroid removed. I started on all kinds of ‘REAL’ medications and none worked. In fact, they made me feel worse. Two years ago, I took myself off all meds and started taking natural remedies and I’ve never felt better! This just re-affirmed my convictions that there is some kind of drug conspiracy going on with pushing unnecessary (and expensive) chemically derived drugs. Just my opinion!
