Vaccine Propaganda. The Censorship of Debate. Yet there is still 'low trust' in vaccination! How lies lead to intransigence and fixed positions

There are key messages about vaccines and vaccination that we all need to know. Indeed, the conventional medical establishment absolutely insists that we should know and understand these messages. What are these message?

• Vaccines are entirely safe.
• There is 'overwhelming scientific evidence' that vaccines are the best defence against dangerous and deadly infections. 
• The vaccines work, and they are overcoming disease. 
• They are protecting billions of people around the world.
• And regular, increasingly frantic warnings are given about the return of 'deadly' diseases like measles around the unvaccinated world.

So the conventional medical establishment insist that we must all get vaccinated. And the mainstream media not only supports this position, it actively censors any message, or messenger, that runs contrary to it.

Yet despite this concerted efforted it would seem that there is still a low level of trust in vaccination!

So why is it that everyone is still not convinced? It is not the cost of vaccines, usually heavily subsidised in one way or another throughout the world.

The Wellcome Trust has conducted the biggest global study into attitudes about immunisation, involving more that 140,000 people from over 140 countries. It suggests that confidence in vaccines is "extremely low" in some regions, that the number of people who said they had little confidence in vaccination was, on average, around 20% - and in many places much higher.

• As far as safety is concerned, 7% said they did not think vaccines were safe, and a further 14% were uncertain.
• As far as effectiveness is concerned 5% did not think they were effective, and another 12% were uncertain.

This level of confidence is considered to be such a problem the World Health Organisation has called 'vaccine hesitancy' one of the top 10 threats to global health!

This is quite an amazing situation, but not for the reasons doctors and the media are telling us. The conventional medical establishment states its position, unequivocally, repeatedly, and this position is never openly questioned. The mainstream media supports this position - unreservedly and unquestioningly. Any views to the contrary are rigorously censored. Anyone who disagrees with the 'official' view remains unheard, lambasted, and without any right of reply. The anti-vaxxers are just not listening to the 'science' of vaccines, at best 'complacent' about the seriousness of the infections, and the important protection that vaccines offer. And at worst anti-vaxxers are peddling unscientific and uncorroberated misinformation on the internet.

So the question is - where does the 20% get this 'misinformation', why do they believe it, and why are they resistant to the view of the medical establishment?

• Their information is not coming from their doctors. 
• It is not coming from the mainstream media. 
• And serious efforts are now being made to censor the anti-vaccine information on the the internet.

Yet despite this concerted and co-ordinated propaganda 20% of the population are no convinced.

The problem is, of course, that some people do actively question this conventional medical wisdom. Most of them, according to the Wellcome Foundation survey, come from "higher-income regions". Is this because people from these regions are more questioning people, less subject to establishment pressure? The following reasons are certainly important.

• Many people have experience vaccine damage directly, and their family, friends and colleagues will have become aware of vaccine damaged individuals. 
• Some patients do actually insist on reading the Patient Information Leaflets (PILS) that come with each vaccine, and these list at least some of the dangers of vaccines.
• Other people have taken the trouble to examine official summaries of adverse vaccine reactions on the internet.
• An increasing number of people are aware of vaccine injury compensation schemes, not least in the USA and Britain, that regularly pay out large sums to vaccine damaged patients.

None of this information fits snuggly with the official "vaccines are safe" view. When someone has seen the evidence (mostly from conventional medical literature itself) about vaccine harm they are aware that doctors are not telling them the truth, that they are being intentionally mislead. People are not being told the truth. The conventional medical establishment is, in fact, lying to us.

So vaccine hesitancy is not going to go away, it is on the increase. And it is not just that resistance is harden, it is causing an increasingly intractable situation, on both sides of the argument.

1. Once people know they are being told lies by the conventional medical establishment they will not find it easy to believe anything they are told in future. They will not trust the source that has told lies about that, or any other subject.
2. The conventional medical establishment, which has created the lie, cannot afford to admit that it has been lying. It will have to defend the lie, their credibility will depend upon it.

The mainstream media, too, must also be feeling the threat to their credibility.

• Why has journalism been so vacillating and quiescent? 
• Why has it chosen to side with the pharmaceutical companies?
• Why has it not been prepared to do its job - to question and investigate?
• Why has the so-called 'free press' failed to tell its readers, viewers and listeners the truth? 
• Why has it censored the case against vaccines?

So in the coming months and years the media too will have increasing difficulty defending what it is now doing - endorsing the lies of conventional medicine - and failing to engage in the real health debate that is going on out here.
