“Failing” New York Times “Fails Again” on Vaccines

Normally I don’t interrupt the enemy when they’re in the midst of destroying themselves…

Opinion by Kent Heckenlively JD

However, the recent article in The New York Times entitled “How to Inoculate Against Anti-Vaxxers…”

…published on January 19, 2019 by no less that The Editorial Board of the old, feeble, and demented gray lady was just too much to pass up.

They just had to comment on the World Health Organization (WHO)’s recent ranking of “vaccine hesitancy” as one of the top 10 health threats for the world in 2019.

Got that?  The parents of vaccine-injured children, exhausted and tired by their disabled children, take time out of their over-stressed lives to mount a campaign to save other children, only to get attacked for being a threat to the public. 

I think one of the reasons I get so much satisfaction out of writing books about this issue is I know that when the truth is revealed there will be only a few sources to which people can turn to know what really happened.

My book, INOCULATED: How Science Lost its Soul in Autism will be one of those few sources. (And after you read it, please include an Amazon review.)

The New York Times gives us far more credit than we deserve.  Let’s tell the truth, there’s NO MONEY in it for those of us who are fighting against vaccines.  Those who are fighting for vaccines, are fighting for a product with nearly $50 billion dollars in annual sales and NO LEGAL LIABILITY.  Now, fifty billion dollars a year, that will buy a lot of troll farms in Russia with phony parents claiming they LOVE vaccines for their children!

Here’s a paragraph which made me howl with laughter because I only wish we had that much power.

The Most Important Ten Minute Video on Vaccines and Autism EVER!

Will Trump Act?

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Just below is a ten minute video by Sharyl Atkisson I want you to watch. It talks about an Affidavit recently produced by a government expert, Dr Andrew Zimmerman, who was dismissed from an important Autism case at the last minute, to cover up the fact that he had told the DOJ attorneys in private that “In fact, vaccines do cause Autism.”

I have written about this before here on the BolenReport – last September I pointed out:

U.S. Attorneys Withheld Evidence in Autism Omnibus Proceeding…

In that article I said:

For those who are unaware of the history of this issue…

…in the late to mid 2000s more than 5,000 Autism cases went through a bizarre procedure called the Autism Omnibus Proceeding (AOP) as part of the so-called “Vaccine Court” in which several test cases were reviewed for the proposition that vaccines can cause autism.

I know I should probably write more about this video…

…but the truth is after sixteen years of articles, two books, more than a hundred radio interviews, I’m tired of saying the same old thing:  “Vaccines cause autism and we are being lied to on a massive scale.”

And even the government’s chief medical witness in the Omnibus Autism Proceeding knew this and because he was going to talk about it, the government removed him.

An all of this happened in 2007.  It’s now 2019.  Yes, this happened in the Bush years, lay undisturbed in the Obama administration, and now we are in the Trump Presidency.

None of this is a surprise to me.

Oh No! I Just Got Snoped! (Laugh Here)…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

After having my talk at the Commonwealth Club of California cancelled because of protests, being thrown out of Age of Autism for daring to pen a few articles for BolenReport, and being BANNED from speaking in Australia for three years, I have a new honor.

I’ve been Snoped!

If you don’t know about Snopes, it’s the debunking web-site founded by a guy named David Mickelson who was accused by his ex-wife of embezzling money from the site to pay for the services of a prostitute who later became his second wife.

Read the Daily Mail  article about Snopes here.

Why are the people who attack those of us trying to improve the health of humanity such a bunch of sick, twisted perverts?

Funny how David Mickelson really hasn’t addressed those issues with his slavish band of devotees who include The New York Times and The Washington Post.

I think using the services of a prostitute must affect one’s mental abilities because of the absolute stupidity of the argument little David Mickelson’s minion, Alex Kasprak makes in the article attacking my book with Dr. Judy Mikovits, PLAGUE.

Kasprak might want to rethink his comfy little arrangement with Snopes as it seems Snopes is having a lot of trouble according to a December 13, 2018 article in The Guardian.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/dec/13/they-dont-care-facebook-fact-checking-in-disarray-as-journalists-push-to-cut-ties

How’s this for a look at what’s happening between Snopes and Facebook?

PLAGUE – The Book that Just Keeps on Selling…

“There’s no other book like it,” says Dr. Joseph Mercola…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

When I started writing our book PLAGUE with Dr. Judy Mikovits in 2012, had it published in 2014, I had no idea that four years later it would still regularly be #1 in the Virology section of Amazon, beating the previous monster best-seller, The Hot Zone by Richard Preston, and also leaving in the dust Dr. Paul Offit’s most recent offering, Bad Advice.

After all, it was my first book, it’s kind of wonky (the publisher also has it listed as an E-textbook, for God’s sake), and yet it continues to exert a hold on people’s imaginations.

I think it has such a strong hold on people because it’s a story of science gone awry…

The Bullshit About a “New” Alzheimer’s Treatment

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

It’s not often I call bullshit on a news story.

However, I call ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT on this story.

HIV drugs may help people with Alzheimer’s and Down syndrome, says new hypothesis on Alzheimer’s origins

Do you want the bullshit first, or the truth?

Okay, I’ll give you the bullshit first.

If you read this article from the San Diego Tribune, you’ll learn the scientists have found some sort of genetic reassortment is taking place in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, and that is the reason for this disease which affects about 5.7 million people in the United States, including my aunt.  This “genetic reassortment” is also evidence by the presence of an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, and the action of this enzyme can be treated with drugs developed for HIV-AIDS.

If I learned nothing in working with Dr. Judy Mikovits on our groundbreaking book, PLAGUE, it’s how to tell when you’re dealing with bullshit.

She taught me that any reasonable scientific explanation requires an explanation of A, B, C, and D.  If I leave out any part of the explanation, I’m deceiving you.

Let’s look at this in stages.

Pediatricians are Baby-Killers – The Nick Catone Campaign…

By Kent Heckenlively JD

Let’s cut to the chase.  We’ve spent far too much time being nice.  The other side isn’t listening.  Are we going to go away?  No.  We’re just going to get louder.  They will not silence our truth.

PEDIATRICIANS ARE BABY-KILLERS…

VACCINES ARE THEIR WEAPON OF CHOICE AND THE RESULT IS SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), in addition to autism and a number of other problems.

UFC fighter Nick Catone didn’t expect anything to go wrong when he tucked his 20 month-old baby, Nicholas into his crib on Thursday, May 11, 2017.  In fact, as Nick left his son said, “Goodnight Daddy.”

In the morning he was dead.

My 2018 Mid-Term Election Prediction…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

At Bolen Report we cover health care.  But let’s be honest.  Two weeks before the midterms nobody is going to care.

Let me give you three pieces of information, just so when all of this is over, you won’t be behind.

  1.  President Trump signed a bill getting rid of the “gag” order on pharmacists so now they can say, “Hey, you know there’s a lower cost generic you can buy.”  Predictably, the pharmaceutical companies filed a lawsuit claiming that allowing pharmacists to tell patients the real cost was a violation of free speech.  (Honestly, I can’t make this stuff up.)
  2.  Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. made sure that more than 7,000 copies of J.B. Handley’s book, How to End the Autism Epidemic were mailed to legislators all across the country.
  3. Two autism advocates, (Jen Larson and Mark Blaxill) met with President Trump on October 4, 2018 and gave him a copy of How to End the Autism Epidemic and Denial by Mark Blaxill and Dan Olmsted.  No other information is available from  my sources about how these books were received by the President.

Now you know everything important that’s happened in the last couple weeks.

However, you come to Bolen Report for perspectives you won’t find anywhere else.  That’s why I’ve provided you my special mid-term prediction based on box-office numbers from last weekend.

You see, I believe going to vote is a lot like going to the movies.  If you like the story and it accords with your values you tell your friends and the film is a success.  Not that hard to figure out.  Just like politics and elections.  Make the lives of people better and they’ll vote for you.  Make America suck and they’ll vote for the other guy.

This is the Heckenlively Theory of Box Office Receipts and Voting Patterns.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Needs $20,000 for His Children’s Health Defense Campaign!

BolenReport Readers Need to Step Up!

By Kent Heckenlively JD

Many people may mistake our boldness at BolenReport as not being open to other viewpoints.

Nothing could be further from the truth.  Here at BolenReport we WELCOME ROBUST DEBATE.

It’s no secret we lean right, but that’s simply because we believe the pharmaceutical companies have captured our government agencies which protect the health of the public.  It is a nightmare of both the left and the right.

Powerful corporations controlling an even more powerful and intrusive government.  It is government which compels and it is this coercion which concerns us.  We understand there are many important dimensions to this struggle.

Which is why at BolenReport we recognize valuable allies and warriors who may fight on different battlefields.  However, we all fight for a common objective, the health of humanity.

Which is why when I received this request from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in his current campaign I knew it was something I should bring IMMEDIATELY to readers of BolenReport. I have already donated two-hundred and fifty dollars.  I encourage you to donate whatever you can spare.

Here is the request from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.:

Trump’s War Against Vaccines KICKS INTO HIGH GEAR…

By Kent Heckenlively, J.D.

How do you know when the righteous war against vaccines has begun?

When you read a recent article from The New York Times (September 26, 2018) which begins:

“The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday placed the head of its Office of Children’s Health Protection on administrative leave, an unusual move that appeared to reflect an effort to minimize the role of the office.

Dr. Ruth Etzel, a pediatrician and epidemiologist who has been a leader in children’s environmental health for 30 years, joined the E.P.A. in 2015 after having served as a senior officer for environmental health research at the World Health Organization.  She was placed on administrative leave late Tuesday and asked to hand over her badge, keys, and cellphone, according to an E.P.A. official familiar with the decision who was not authorized to discuss the move and who asked not to be identified.”

You can read the entire article HERE.

Now admittedly, reading The New York Times in our era is a bit like reading Pravda in the bad old days of the Soviet Union…

Still, you can be certain of some facts.  Somebody in the Trump administration really doesn’t like good old Dr. Ruth Etzel, who during the 30 years she’s been “a leader in children’s environmental health” has presided over the worst decline in the health of our children in history.

U.S. Attorneys Withheld Evidence in Autism Omnibus Proceeding…

YOU Can Take Action…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

For those who are unaware of the history of this issue…

…in the late to mid 2000s more than 5,000 Autism cases went through a bizarre procedure called the Autism Omnibus Proceeding (AOP) as part of the so-called “Vaccine Court” in which several test cases were reviewed for the proposition that vaccines can cause autism.

The most famous case to emerge was that of Hannah Poling, which was removed from the hearing and government attorneys settled with her parents for a sum of more than twenty million dollars.

Many have complained that the court intentionally conceals awards of vaccine injury leading to autism.  In my book, INOCULATED, I interviewed the former Chief Special Master of the Vaccine Court, who told me explicitly that the court has held from its earliest days that vaccines can lead to encephalopathy (brain swelling) and that one of the damages from this brain swelling is autism.

But I doubt any of you ever heard THAT in a pediatrician’s office!

Now comes an allegation from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr…

J.B. Handley Breaks Amazon with “How To End The Autism Epidemic” Book!

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

With just a rag-tag group of fighters, J.B. Handley’s book, How to End the Autism Epidemic, reached #44 of all books sold on Amazon as of last Friday night.  Think of it.

There are more than a million titles on Amazon.  But his stealth marketing campaign of health freedom fighters (some shown in the photo above) has scored a remarkable victory.

And there’s more.

C;lick on book to order

At the BolenReport we were privy to confidential information that Amazon had placed A VERY LARGE ORDER of J.B.’s book, an amount so large that the publisher had NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN BEFORE.

How to End the Autism Epidemic was released on Wednesday, September 19 and two days later, Friday, September 21, Amazon had sold EVERY SINGLE COPY!!!!  (Don’t let that stop you from placing an order.  They’re planning to have more copies by next Thursday!)

All of this was accomplished without the benefit of the mainstream media…

Book Review – HOW TO END THE AUTISM EPIDEMIC – J.B. Handley Makes the Sale!

By Kent Heckenlivey, J.D.

J.B. Handley is a business man.  I say this with the greatest of respect, meaning he has a particular skill set which involves communicating in a clear and uncluttered fashion and moving people to action.  The business man anticipates obstacles and objections and plans for them.  When he is finished, the sale is made, and something new comes into the world.

Before I get into this review I have an ask of you…

Buy three copies of this book, take one for yourself, and give the other copies to people close to you that you love, but who remain unconvinced that your child has suffered a vaccine injury.  Tell them it’s the kind of straight-forward book they could read in the few hours it takes to fly across the country.  And then set a date to have a conversation with them about the book.

I have often wondered why when the truth conflicts with corporate dollars that there is such a fight.  I recently watched the NOVA series with Neil De Grasse Tyson and in one episode he outlined the fight against the use of lead in gasoline and other products.  The science was very clear.  And it wasn’t like the information was going to devastate the oil and gas companies.  They simply had to reformulate their products.  But they waged a decades-long war against the scientist who presented the information.  Sound familiar?

In Part One…

Click on book to order

Handley takes on the lies about vaccines and autism, covering such topics as whether there is an autism epidemic (news-flash – There is!  Just ask any teacher you know), that vaccines are safe and effective, that the science is settled, and that pharmaceutical companies are not making money off vaccines.

Vaccines will soon be a sixty-billion dollar a year industry and because of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, the pharmaceutical companies have NO LIABILITY.  Instead of suing the pharmaceutical companies (a daunting enough prospect), you must in effect sue the United States government.  Yep, that’s right.  You and your vaccine-damaged child don’t have a friend in the U.S. government.  The two of you are adversaries.

In Part Two…

An Appeal to the NEW Prime Minister of Australia…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Kent's Banned in Australia Series

I have sent the following letter to the new Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison.

Dear Prime Minister Morrison:

Perhaps Australia and I got off on the wrong foot.

Your country banned me for three years because I wanted to talk about corruption in the vaccine program as documented in my book, INOCULATED: How Science Lost its Soul in Autism.

In return I called on President Trump to enforce a naval blockade, provide non-lethal aide to the Australian anti-vaxx rebels, and even launch a limited missile strike on your intelligence agencies when it appears you collaborated with British intelligence to frame our leader for collusion with Russia.

As a result of opposing my mission of truth, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull lost his position and you have taken over.

Like Gorbachev taking over from General Secretary Chernenko in the former Soviet Union I hope that your ascension to power can lead to a thawing of relations between your country and my community.  I am hopeful that your wife not owning six million shares of pharmaceutical company stock means we can have a productive series of discussions.

Has Trump’s War Against Vaccines Started?

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

In a recent article asking whether President Trump was “setting the table” to attack Big Pharma on vaccines I ended by writing:

“Send up a flare, President Trump.  Something.  Anything.  It will keep our spirits high as we wait for the arrival of the long-promised cavalry of truth on the wickedness of the pharmaceutical companies.”

If you were Trump, sitting in the Oval Office, how might you start that war? 

How about by going after Obama’s last head of the Centers for Disease Control, Tom Frieden, who, in an article in The Washington Post, was against the idea of setting up a Vaccine Safety Commission headed up by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.?

This comes from our favorite globalist publication (democracy dies in darkness, don’t you know?) The Washington Post (TWP) from January 16, 2017.  In case you don’t read the article, the headlines tells you everything you need to know, or suspect about the real villains, “Outgoing CDC Chief Talks About Agency’s Successes and His Greatest Fear.”

What was question #1 about?  You guessed it.  Vaccines.

TWP:  What worries you about reports that the president-elect has discussed a vaccine safety commission with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a leading proponent of a scientifically discredited conspiracy theory that vaccines cause autism?

Tom Frieden: The CDC is ready to work with the incoming administration to protect American people from threats.  In terms of immunization policy, we arrive at these recommendations through the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).  ACIP is  a model for transparency.  It involves not just doctors and nurses but professional organizations, community groups and consumers.  Ever single deliberation of that committee is open to the public.  All of the materials are available on the Web.  We’ve always found that sunlight is a good disinfectant.

Okay, are you getting the spin?

According to the Post and Tom Freiden, a Vaccine Safety Commission headed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a bad thing.  Everything’s fine.  Let the public keep sleeping.  Nothing to see here.  Move along.

Fast forward to an article from The Washington Post from August 24, 2018…

BolenReport Topples Australian Government…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

On August 31, 2017, the government of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull denied my application to visit Australia to speak about the dangers of vaccines.

On August 23, 2018, Turnbull lost his position as Prime Minister.

Coincidence?

I don’t think so.  Turnbull didn’t even last a year after tangling with this American hero.

You mess with the bull, you get the horns…

You might have been one of those who scoffed when I called for a naval blockade of Australia in order to defend my right to speak.

Is President Trump “Setting the Table” to Attack Big Pharma on Vaccines?

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

The best news I got last week was that the $289 million dollar verdict against Monsanto for their use of the herbicide Round-Up, led by Robert F. Kennedy. Jr. and his brave band of “Untouchables” caused an $11 BILLION DOLLAR drop in the price of its parent company, Bayer.

An article in Bloomberg News put it in perspective:

“The reliance of the U.S. company, and now, its German acquirer, on Round-Up extends far beyond just selling it as a weed-killer.  Monsanto genetically engineered the DNA of corn, soybeans and other crops to make them resistant to Round-Up; it now makes more revenue from seeds and traits than it does from herbicide.”

You can read the Bloomberg article HERE:

The market value of the entire Monsanto company is only $66 billion dollars.  A few more weeks like that and we’ve made some serious progress in destroying one of the most evil companies on the planet.

I mean, really, we can strike a blow against PESTICIDES AND GMOs at the same time? 

These are good days to be alive.

The other good news last week is that President Trump called on the attorney general to sue pharmaceutical companies which produce opioids.

From The Wall Street Journal…

“In a cabinet meeting Thursday at the White House, Mr. Trump asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions to bring a ‘major lawsuit’ against drug companies that ‘are really sending opioids at a level that it shouldn’t be happening.’  He said he wanted the attorney general to bring the suit at the federal level, rather than join existing litigation brought by the states.”

You can read the Wall Street Journal article HERE:

I want to put an idea into your mind as to what MAY be happening.

WE WON!!! – Monsanto Must Pay $289 Million in Damages for Round-Up

Today, I really don’t care if you are a Republican, a Democrat, a Libertarian, or unaffiliated with any political party.  Today is a “We” day…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

As President John F. Kennedy once said, “Our most common basic link is that we all inhabit this planet.  We breathe the same air.  We cherish our children’s future.  And we are all mortal.”

On the afternoon of Friday, August 10, 2018, just a few hours ago, in fact, a jury in San Francisco, CA delivered a stunning verdict against the chemical giant Monsanto and its herbicide, Round-Up.  The chemical glyphosate is used in Round-Up and has been identified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a probable human carcinogen.

You can read this account from the San Francisco Chronicle:

The jury not only found Monsanto liable…

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. – The Case Against Monsanto and Glyphosate

I was recently able to spend about half an hour visiting with environmental attorney, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., discussing the case he, and other attorneys, have brought in San Francisco against Monsanto for the use of their product, Round-Up.

By Kent Heckenlively, J.D.

 

Round-Up is alleged to cause cancer, and in this instance specifically, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

We first talked briefly about Robert’s new book American Values: Lessons I Learned From My Family which I highly recommend.  I consider it to be one of the best political memoirs I have ever read.  I was amused to find that Robert and I share a common love for an obscure comic book series, Turok: Son of Stone, and that while we may come from different perspectives, we see a very similar set of problems.

I hope you will enjoy our conversation…

Del Bigtree’s Master Class on Vaccines and Autism – Part 5…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

On Thursday, July 12, 2018, Del Bigtree’s show, High-Wire, gave a master class on vaccines and autism, featuring some of the most exciting news we have heard in YEARS.

I have broken the two hour show down into a several part article as there was so much news I didn’t want anybody to miss it.  Here is today’s installment.

Del:  I suppose you are all used to sound-bite television and wish I could pack this all onto a little bumper sticker for you.  But I’m not stopping.  If you’re getting tired, or you want to go back to eating your little blue pills, that’s fine, but I’m going to be bringing you the truth today.

We are not going to let you walk away without hearing the whole story.  Without really getting a grasp of what is happening in this world and how badly we are being lied to in the United States of America.  This is the worst of it.

I say to my friends, “I think there are people out there in America who used to say, well, we test our drugs and vaccines on brown people in other countries.  And though I feel a little squeamish about it, I know that they are made healthy and that they are safer and they are tested on somebody else, then they give them to us because we are a privileged class.”  You may not admit that, but deep down a lot of people think that.  I want you to stop thinking that.

You know what the biggest test group is?  YOU!  You are, you idiot, and your kids.  In America we are pumping more of these things into our kids with less safety studies than anywhere else on the planet, less safety studies than any other kind of drug or product on the planet.

You are the guinea pig!  Your child is the guinea pig.  You are not being looked at in any way as some evolved class.  You are a class of slaves, as they say in The Matrix, when he holds out the blue and the red pill.  What is the truth?  The truth is that you are a slave.  You are a slave to the pharmaceutical industry that is outspending everybody in Washington, buying the next politicians.

Dr. Brian Hooker – American Hero…

Del Bigtree’s Master Class on Vaccines and Autism – Part 4

By Kent Heckenlively, JD    

Who, Exactly, Is Brian Hooker PhD?

On Thursday, July 12, 2018, Del Bigtree’s show, High-Wire, gave a master class on vaccines and autism, featuring some of the most exciting news we have heard in YEARS.  The link to the show is below.

I have broken the two hour show down into a several part article as there was so much news I didn’t want anybody to miss it.  Here is today’s installment.

Del:  I want to bring on Brian Hooker, who is going to talk about a study I think is phenomenal.  Because one of the things we talk about, as Senator Pan pointed out, and the study from the sheepherders in England, was only of high-functioning Asperger’s people.  So I guess they found a bunch of lawyers and bankers who were awkward in public and said, “See!  They’re on the autism spectrum!  It’s always been here!”

But the truth is, what kind of autism are we talking about?  I think one of the things that has been fascinating to watch over time is “autism really was something you were born with.  It’s genetic, you have it from the moment you’re born.  That’s how genes work.” 

And so autism was described as the result of refrigerator mothers, we didn’t know why the babies never made eye contact, they weren’t involved with the parents.  They were distant.  We blamed it on mothers not giving enough love to their babies.  And so it was just this failure to thrive diagnosis.

But then what’s fascinating is over time we started hearing in the late 1980s and 1990s, we started hearing people describe something different.  “My child was perfectly healthy and in fact was off the chart on their APGAR scores.  But then all of a sudden something happened and they lost the ability to walk.  Lost the ability to talk.  For a long time we were refusing to even call that autism.”

But now you watch pharma get involved and our health departments get involved and they’ve changed the definition.
