Censorship of medical research: a threat to health freedom and public welfare

- Historical Pattern of Suppression: The medical industry has a long history of prioritizing corporate interests over public health and safety. Notable examples include the 1955 Cutter incident, where contaminated polio vaccines led to paralyzing and fatal cases due to the censorship of whistleblowers.

- Censorship of Adverse Vaccine Data: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been significant censorship of negative vaccine data, exemplified by the retraction of studies, such as Nicholas Hulscher’s paper on autopsy findings in vaccine-related deaths, in violation of standard retraction guidelines. - Controlled Narrative in Publishing: The suppression of critical data is orchestrated by a cartel of major publishing houses, including Elsevier, Springer Nature, and Wiley, often on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry. This censorship is alleged to have caused significant damage to public health and science. - Systemic Suppression of Treatment Options: There is evidence of deliberate suppression of early, effective treatments like ivermectin and proxalutamide, which could have saved lives during the pandemic. This suppression demonstrates a preference for profit-generating vaccines over potentially safer and more effective treatments. - Impact on Civil Liberties and Public Health: The widespread censorship and manipulation of medical data not only endanger public health but also erode civil liberties by undermining informed consent and fostering an environment of disinformation and control. This situation highlights the urgent need for transparency, accountability, and respect for health freedom.

The history of medicine is rife with instances of government overreach and corporate collusion that have undermined public health, infringed upon civil liberties, and enriched pharmaceutical corporations at the expense of human lives. The suppression of critical medical data, particularly in the context of vaccines, is not a new phenomenon but has reached unprecedented levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. The weaponization of scientific consensus, censorship of adverse vaccine data, and the suppression of early treatment options have created a system of medical tyranny that keeps people sick, violates their rights, and prioritizes profit over public welfare.

The Cutter incident of 1955 serves as a stark reminder of how government agencies and pharmaceutical companies have historically prioritized corporate interests over public safety. The distribution of contaminated polio vaccines, which led to the paralysis of 56 children and the deaths of five, was a direct result of the censorship of warnings from whistleblowers like Bernice Eddy. Eddy’s report, which documented the paralysis of inoculated monkeys, was dismissed by NIH officials, leading to one of the worst pharmaceutical disasters in U.S. history. This incident is a microcosm of a broader pattern: the suppression of critical data to protect corporate interests, even at the cost of human lives. Fast forward to the present day, and the suppression of adverse vaccine data has reached catastrophic proportions. The COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, often touted as a medical miracle, have been linked to thousands of cases of serious injury and death, yet this information has been systematically censored and suppressed. Papers documenting the harmful effects of these vaccines, such as Nicholas Hulscher’s study on autopsy findings in deaths after COVID-19 vaccination, have been retracted in violation of established retraction guidelines. Hulscher’s paper, which concluded that 73.9% of the deaths studied were directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination, was removed from the Lancet’s preprint server, exemplifying the lengths to which the medical establishment will go to silence dissenting voices.

Controlling the narrative

The suppression of negative vaccine studies is not an isolated incident but part of a broader strategy orchestrated by what Hulscher refers to as “the Cartel”—the International Association of Scientific, Technical, and Medical Publishers. This cartel, which includes major publishers like Elsevier, Springer Nature, and Wiley, has been accused of censoring critical data to protect the interests of the pharmaceutical industry. The lawsuit filed against the Cartel alleges that their actions have caused “tremendous damage to science and the public interest,” as they delay or suppress research that contradicts the narrative of vaccine safety and efficacy.

The suppression of early treatment options, such as ivermectin and proxalutamide, further illustrates the collusion between government agencies, medical journals, and Big Pharma. The ivermectin review paper, which passed rigorous peer review and was accepted for publication, was later retracted without explanation. Similarly, Dr. Flavio Cadegiani’s studies on proxalutamide, which demonstrated the drug’s efficacy in treating COVID-19, were held hostage by high-impact journals for years, resulting in the unnecessary deaths of millions. These examples highlight the systemic suppression of evidence-based treatments in favor of experimental vaccines, which have been prioritized for their profit potential. The censorship of adverse vaccine data is not limited to academic journals but extends to mainstream media and government agencies. The VAERS analysis by Jessica Rose and Peter McCullough, which documented a massive increase in myocarditis cases following COVID-19 vaccination, was retracted without explanation. This censorship is part of a broader disinformation campaign orchestrated by the pharmaceutical industry, as outlined in the Union of Concerned Scientists’ “Disinformation Playbook.” The first tactic, known as “the Fix,” involves suppressing or manipulating data to protect corporate interests, as seen in the Vioxx scandal, where Merck concealed evidence of thousands of deaths caused by their drug.

Profiting off pain

The financial incentives driving this censorship are undeniable. Big Pharma controls medical journals through advertising revenue, ghostwriting, and funding for clinical trials. The former editor of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) has exposed how editorial control is often influenced by pharmaceutical money, leading to the suppression of critical data. The recent lawsuit against the Academic Publishing Cartel alleges that these publishers have formed a monopoly that stifles scientific progress and prioritizes profit over public health.

The consequences of this medical tyranny are devastating. Excess mortality rates have soared since the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, yet this data is rarely discussed in mainstream media or medical journals. The BMJ’s recent publication of a study linking vaccination rates to excess mortality is a rare exception, but even this paper was met with immediate backlash and attempts to discredit its findings. The study concluded that excess mortality has remained high for three consecutive years, raising serious concerns about the safety of the vaccines. The suppression of critical data is not just a threat to public health but also to civil liberties. The erosion of informed consent, the coercion of vaccination mandates, and the censorship of dissenting voices are all part of a broader agenda to control the population under the guise of public health. The medical establishment’s reliance on “scientific consensus” to justify these actions is a facade, as this consensus is often manufactured through censorship and manipulation of data.

The 'science' isn't settled -- it's bought and paid for

The fall of the Academic Publishing Cartel cannot come soon enough. The lawsuit against these publishers is a step in the right direction, but more must be done to dismantle the system of medical tyranny that has taken root. Transparency, accountability, and respect for health freedom must be prioritized over corporate profits. Until then, the suppression of critical data will continue to keep people sick, violate their rights, and enrich Big Pharma at the expense of human lives.

In the words of the BMJ study, “Transparency towards potential lethal drivers is warranted.” It is time for governments, medical journals, and pharmaceutical companies to prioritize truth over profit and to recognize that health freedom is a fundamental human right. The fight for transparency and accountability in medicine is not just a scientific imperative but a moral one. The lives of millions depend on it.
