Health Impact News Editor Comments
A top researcher employed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has come forward as a whistle-blower, confessing to his participation in actively covering up data that clearly links vaccines to autism. (See: CDC Whistleblower: CDC Covered Up MMR Vaccine Link to Autism in African American Boys)
This is not a story the mainstream media (MSM) will be able to ignore for long. However, the MSM is heavily funded by the pharmaceutical industry, and the pharmaceutical industry has their appointed spokespersons on all of the major networks.
The pharmaceutical industry is well-funded. They are perhaps the richest and most powerful group in the world here in the 21st Century. They will fight back and spin this story as best they can – you can be sure of it.
What we will need are more whistle-blowers from the MSM. They will most certainly lose their jobs and careers if they become whistle-blowers, as Sharyl Attkisson, formerly of CBS News, lost her job. Others, like Ben Swann, have left the MSM to start their own independent reporting where they are more free to publish the truth on many issues, including vaccines and autism.
Dr. Brian Hooker and the CDC
Many people, even in the alternative media, have been reluctant to give much coverage to this story, wondering if it is indeed true? Some have even suggested that there is no whistle-blower, but that this is all a setup by the CDC to make the “anti-vaccine” crowd look foolish. I am sure that will all change soon, since the whistle-blower’s name has now been revealed. The news will develop quite fast from here on out.
The only reason I have decided to give exposure to this story is because of one man: Dr. Brian Hooker. This is a man I have known for some time now, and he has been a contributing author here at Health Impact News on the topic of vaccines, autism, and the CDC.
Dr. Hooker participated in the production of a video that reveals his relationship to the whistle-blower, and you can watch it here:
Dr. Hooker is the father of a vaccine-injured child, and is a Ph.D. researcher. He has fought against the CDC for more than 12 years, using the Freedom of Information Act to try and gather as much data as he could from the studies that the CDC has published that claim there is no link between vaccines and autism. He has submitted much of the results of his own internal investigation of the CDC data on vaccines and autism to Congress. Congressman Bill Posey has assisted him in forcing the CDC to comply with many of these requests.
After almost 12 years, his tireless pursuit of finding the truth that the CDC was hiding paid off, as the CDC finally handed over documents so that Dr. Hooker could look at the raw data that the CDC used to claim that there was no link between vaccines and autism. It took some Congressional pressure from Congressman Bill Posey to get this information. (See: CDC Caught Hiding Data Showing Mercury in Vaccines Linked to Autism)
We covered this story back in on February 21st of this year (2014) and the story went viral quickly. The MSM did not cover the story originally, but as our story gained popularity in social media, one of the appointed vaccine “attack dogs” put out a piece attacking Dr. Hooker and his analysis of the data.
Dr. Hooker is a hero, and I believe history will bear that out. He faces a tough road ahead, as he continues to analyze the CDC data that has been covered up and withheld from the public for so long. He needs our prayers and support during this time, as does Dr. Thompson the CDC whistle-blower.
Dr. Hooker has clearly stated what his goal is in his pursuit of getting the truth from the CDC: a safer vaccine schedule for children. Tens of thousands of children are damaged or killed by vaccines, as the government vaccine compensation program proves, and yet the CDC continues to promote a one-size-fits all vaccine schedule that sacrifices the lives of so many children.
Dr. Hooker Interviewed by Roert Scott Bell
This past week, Dr. Hooker appeared on the Robert Scott Bell show. Robert Scott Bell, who has been interviewing Dr. Hooker and Dr. Andrew Wakefied for years on the vaccine-autism issue, referred to the CDC as the “Center for Disease Creation.” Below are some quotes from Dr. Hooker in his interview with Robert Scott Bell.
Dr. Hooker stated that he reanalyzed data according to a “public data agreement.” He stated: “CDC by law has to provide these public data sets.”
Dr. Hooker re-analyzed the data for the first MMR vaccine and risk of autism. He stated: “I received the same results from the study as the CDC did, they just never reported the risk. They chose to bury this information. They came out with a publication in 2004 that the African American child was not at risk.”
Dr. Hooker has since reanalyzed the data, including the data that was covered up, and published the result here: Measles-mumps-rubella vaccination timing and autism among young african american boys: a reanalysis of CDC data. His conclusion: “The present study provides new epidemiologic evidence showing that African American males receiving the MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age or 36 months of age are more likely to receive an autism diagnosis.”
On the Robert Scott Bell show, Dr. Hooker discussed his relationship with the CDC whistle-blower.
“I have been in contact with the whistle-blower for almost a year now. Because of this contact and because of some documents I have received, primarily through Congressional request, not really through the whistle-blower…. I received the same results from the study as the CDC did, they just never reported the risk. They chose to bury this information. They came out with a publication in 2004 that the African American child was not at risk.”
Dr. Hooker then pointed out how Dr. Coleen Boyle was one of the co-authors of the study where the data was suppressed, and that she has testified under oath before Congress:
“He’s very sorry for his own behavior. One of the co-authors of this study was doctor Coleen Boyle. Dr. Coleen Boyle has testified several times before Congressional Committees…saying there is no reliable evidence that shows there was any relationship between vaccines and autism. Yet she was a co-author on this paper. She knew about the cover-up. She was complicit in the cover-up. She had specific conversations among the co-authors not to release this particular information. If she has lied, she has perjured herself in front of Congress. And now we have the evidence that she did that very thing.”
Dr. Hooker then says that the whistle-blower even tried to encourage Dr. Gerberding, then head of the CDC, to share all this data with the Institute Of Medicine, but was reprimanded. Dr. Gerberding left the CDC in 2009 and is now the head of Merck’s (the manufacturer of the MMR vaccine) vaccine division.
“The whistle-blower attempted to tell Dr. Gerberding about this. The whistle-blower wrote a letter and emailed it to Dr. Gerberding to alert Dr. Gerberding about this before the Institute of Medicine (IOM) had their landmark vaccine safety review committee meeting in 2004 called ‘Vaccines and Autism.’ The whistle-blower tried to alert Dr. Gerberding of these particular results, and encouraged Dr. Gerberding to be forthcoming at this particular meeting regardless of what the fallout would be. Consequently, (he was told) ‘that’s a big no-no’, because scientists at this level are not supposed to talk to Dr. Gerberding. So rather than Dr. Gerberding responding to the whistle-blower’s concerns the whistle-blower was reprimanded.”
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr. Brian Hooker and his 12-year fight to obtain source data from the CDC! He needs our prayers and support, as the ride will for sure get quite bumpy from here on out. As he stated on the Robert Scott Bell show: “This is the tip of the iceberg. There is much much more that will be revealed.”
We will continue to cover this story here at Health Impact News, and I am sure Robert Scott Bell will as well on his radio program.

Medical Doctors Opposed to Forced Vaccinations – Should Their Views be Silenced?
One of the biggest myths being propagated in the compliant mainstream media today is that doctors are either pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine, and that the anti-vaccine doctors are all “quacks.”
However, nothing could be further from the truth in the vaccine debate. Doctors are not unified at all on their positions regarding “the science” of vaccines, nor are they unified in the position of removing informed consent to a medical procedure like vaccines.
The two most extreme positions are those doctors who are 100% against vaccines and do not administer them at all, and those doctors that believe that ALL vaccines are safe and effective for ALL people, ALL the time, by force if necessary.
Very few doctors fall into either of these two extremist positions, and yet it is the extreme pro-vaccine position that is presented by the U.S. Government and mainstream media as being the dominant position of the medical field.
In between these two extreme views, however, is where the vast majority of doctors practicing today would probably categorize their position. Many doctors who consider themselves “pro-vaccine,” for example, do not believe that every single vaccine is appropriate for every single individual.
Many doctors recommend a “delayed” vaccine schedule for some patients, and not always the recommended one-size-fits-all CDC childhood schedule. Other doctors choose to recommend vaccines based on the actual science and merit of each vaccine, recommending some, while determining that others are not worth the risk for children, such as the suspect seasonal flu shot.
These doctors who do not hold extreme positions would be opposed to government-mandated vaccinations and the removal of all parental exemptions.
In this article, I am going to summarize the many doctors today who do not take the most extremist pro-vaccine position, which is probably not held by very many doctors at all, in spite of what the pharmaceutical industry, the federal government, and the mainstream media would like the public to believe.
