"March 2018 article in the Annals of Clinical Pathology describes CDC’s suppression
of inconvenient research findings pertaining to its Universal Varicella Vaccination Program."
".....The CDC mainly published selective studies and manipulated findings to support
universal varicella vaccination and aggressively blocked the Research Analyst’s attempt to publish
deleterious trends or outcomes (e.g., declining vaccine efficacy, increasing HZ incidence rates, etc.),
prompting his resignation in protest against what he perceived was research fraud.
His letter of resignation stated, ”When research data concerning a vaccine used in human
populations is being suppressed and/or misrepresented, this is very disturbing and goes
against all scientific norms and compromises professional ethics...."

"Government scientists bullied for exposing secrets"
"For years researchers at federal agencies like the FDA and USDA have warned that they’re
being bullied, demoted and even fired for trying to bring you life-saving health information.
Especially when their studies could harm the bottom lines of billion-dollar drug, food
and biotech companies."

Criminal Conduct: Poul Thorsen
"Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Chairman, stated, “World Mercury Project calls upon Attorney General,
Jeff Sessions, to extradite Thorsen back to the U.S. to face prosecution.
We also call upon Secretary of Health and Human Services, Dr. Tom Price, to retract the
Thorsen-affiliated autism research papers that are the fruit of illegally conducted research.”
"In a new report released September 18, 2017, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and his team outlined various
criminal acts on the part of employees and consultants for the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) whose questionable ethics and scientific fraud have resulted in untrustworthy
vaccine safety science.
Among other information, Kennedy has found additional evidence of criminal activity by the CDC
consultant, Poul Thorsen, the author and principal coordinator of multiple CDC studies exonerating
the mercury-based preservative thimerosal in the development of autism."

"The scientists complain that the "climate of disregard" at CDC puts "many"
agency scientists in difficult positions.
"We are often directed to do things that we know are not right."
".... The public record supports SPIDER's allegations that scientists who
insist on research integrity suffer persecution by CDC supervisors":
- In 2014, the Chief of the HHS Office of Research Integrity (ORI), David Wright, announced his resignation
in a scathing letter that characterized HHS as a remarkably dysfunctional agency.
ORI's function is to monitor research misconduct including, "falsification" and "fabrication" of
science at the CDC, FDA and other public health agencies. Calling the post, "The very worst job
I've ever had," Wright decried an "intensely political environment" where his supervisors told him
that his job was to be a "team player" and "to make my bosses look good" and where he spent
"exorbitant amounts of time in meetings and in generating repetitive and often meaningless data
and reports to make our precinct of the bureaucracy look productive,"rather than pursuing its
mission of detecting and punishing scientific fraud. "

"Top U.S. Scientific Misconduct Official Quits in Frustration With Bureaucracy"
http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2014/03/top-us-scientific-misconduct-official-quits-frustration-bureaucracy - In August 2014, CDC senior vaccine safety scientist, Dr. William Thompson, invoked federal whistleblower
status and testified to Congressman William Posey that his CDC supervisors had ordered him to destroy
data and manipulate studies to conceal injuries to black children from certain vaccines.
According to Thompson's testimony to Congressman Posey, data analyzed by Thompson and a team of
scientists for a key study showed that black boys who received the MMR vaccine on schedule, had a
250% increase in autism diagnoses. The data also pointed to the vaccine as a culprit in the epidemic of
regressive autism in both white and black children.
A high level CDC official, Dr. Frank DeStefano, ordered Thompson and his fellow scientists to destroy that
data in a large garbage can and omit the damning findings from the published study.
That (doctored) study has been cited more than 110 times in published studies on PubMed, and
forms the cornerstone of the CDC's orthodoxy that vaccines don't cause autism.

- One of the key figures in the cover up described by Dr. Thompson is the Director of the National Center
on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, Dr. Colleen Boyle. Boyle's seminal career coup at the
CDC was orchestrating the cover up of Agent Orange and dioxin toxicity in the 1970s.
Boyle's handiwork deprived thousands of Vietnam veterans of health benefits until her fraud was
uncovered and exposed in comprehensive investigations by Congress and the Institute of Medicine
(IOM). Instead of punishing Boyle for corruption and scientific fraud, the CDC rewarded her with a
powerful directorship.
From that platform, Boyle has managed the CDC's cover up of the vaccine-autism connection.

"Agent Orange, Corporatism, Government, Coleen Boyle…. and Autism?"
http://www.ageofautism.com/2013/09/agent-orange-corporatism-government-coleen-boyle-and-autism.html
The recent SPIDER letter highlights the culture of deep-rooted scientific
corruption that has metastasized across CDC and become the subject
of a decade-long parade of investigations.
- In December 2009, the HHS Inspector General published the results of a lengthy investigation of corruption
in the CDC's vaccine division.
That shocking report painted the CDC as a hopelessly corrupted arm of the pharmaceutical industry.
It described, in detail, mismanagement, dysfunction and the alarming conflicts of interest that suborn
the CDC's research, regulatory and policymaking functions.
The report discloses how CDC allows vaccine industry profiteers to make millions of dollars by serving
on advisory boards that add new vaccines to the schedule.
In a typical example, Dr. Paul Offit, in 1999, sat on the CDC's vaccine advisory committee and voted to add
the rotavirus vaccine to CDC's schedule, paving the way for him to make a fortune on his own rotavirus vaccine
patent. Offit and his business partners sold the royalties to his rotavirus vaccine patent to Merck in 2006
for $182 million. Offit told Newsweek, "It was like winning the lottery!"
HHS investigation revealed that 97% of CDC's scientific committee members failed to complete the
mandatory conflict of interest disclosures and that as many as 64% of committee members disclosed
conflicts of interest that were not acted upon by the CDC.

- On Aug. 23, 2000, following a three year investigation, a House Government Reform Committee
staff report criticized the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the CDC for routinely allowing
scientists with conflicts of interest to serve on two influential advisory committees that make recommendations
on vaccine policy.
The report concluded that, "the majority of members of both committees have financial ties to vaccine
manufacturers or hold patents on vaccines under development."

http://www.vaccineinfo.net/issues/conflictofinterest/conflicts_of_interest.shtml
- Three years later, a 2003 investigation by UPI's Mark Benjamin found that CDC had ignored Congress's
recommendations for reform, which stated: "Members of the CDC's Vaccine Advisory Committee
get money from vaccine manufacturers.
Relationships have included: sharing a vaccine patent; owning stock in a vaccine company; payments for
research; getting money to monitor manufacturer vaccine tests; and funding academic departments."

"UPI Investigates: The vaccine conflict"
http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2003/08/03/upi_investigates_the_vaccine_conflict.htm
- A year later, in May of 2004, Special Counsel Scott Bloch, of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, sent
a letter to Congress urging congressional action on evidence of scientific fraud in the CDC's vaccine division.
Bloch described possible collusion between CDC officials and pharmaceutical companies to manipulate
and destroy data in order to conceal the links between mercury-preserved vaccines and the exploding
incidence of pediatric neurological disorders including autism.

- A month later, on June 18, 2004, Congressman Dave Weldon, MD took to the House floor to accuse
CDC of failing to reform:
"A public relations campaign, rather than sound science, seems to be the modus operandi of officials at the
CDC's National Immunization Program."
Congressman Weldon concluded that, "The CDC is too conflicted to oversee this vaccine safety function."

- In January 2006, amidst the corruption scandals, the prestigious journal Nature editorialized in reference
to vaccine safety that, "there is a strong case for a well-resourced independent agency that commands
the trust of both the government and the public."

"Developing resistance"
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v439/n7072/full/439001b.html
- A year later, in 2007, Weldon and Democratic Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney introduced the Vaccine
Safety and Public Confidence Assurance Act of 2007, a bill to create a new agency to supervise vaccine
safety that reported directly to the Secretary of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
and to mandate independent vaccine safety research. Weldon declared that, despite all the scandals and investigations, there were no signs of reform at CDC. "Federal agencies charged with overseeing vaccine
safety research have failed," he said.
"They have failed to provide sufficient resources for vaccine safety research. They have failed to
adequately fund extramural research. And, they have failed to free themselves from conflicts of
interest that serve to undermine public confidence in the safety of vaccines."

- In June of that year, U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, of the Senate Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management,
published "CDC Off Center," yet another lengthy exposé of corruption and mismanagement at CDC.
The report detailed "how an agency tasked with fighting disease has spent hundreds of millions of tax
dollars for failed prevention efforts, international junkets, and lavish facilities, but cannot demonstrate
it is controlling disease."

- In a 2010 scandal that predated the Flint, Michigan tragedy, Congress found that the CDC had
deliberately manipulated scientific documents and purposefully made inaccurate claims about the
safety of Washington, DC drinking water in order to mislead DC residents into believing that their
water was safe. The congressional committee found that the CDC's deceit had caused thousands of DC
residents to drink water highly contaminated with lead for years to the detriment of their health.
As with the Coca Cola and Wise Woman Program scandals, the immediate victims of CDC scientific fraud
and mismanagement were disproportionately poor and minority.

- On Sept. 27, the Office of Special Counsel, an independent federal investigative and prosecutorial agency,
announced further investigation of corruption in the agency's Zika testing program. That investigation arose
from disclosures by laboratory chief Dr. Robert Lanciotti, supervisor of the CDC's prestigious Fort Collins,
Colorado lab, that his CDC supervisors were deliberately using a Zika test that agency officials knew
would underestimate the number of Zika cases nationwide by some 40 percent. Dr. Lanciotti initially raised the
issues internally at CDC and in an email to state public health officials in April 2016. In May, his CDC supervisor
responded to this boat rocking by demoting Lanciotti to a non-supervisory position within his lab. Dr. Lanciotti
filed a whistleblower claim alleging that his punishment was retaliation for his disclosures.
After its initial investigation, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel forced the CDC to reinstate Dr. Lanciotti
as lab chief.

it's no surprise that scientists are now complaining."
"If Donald Trump is sincere about his promise to "Drain the Swamp" in the federal bureaucracy,
he should begin by appointing an honest and able CDC director who can restore transparency,
credibility, robust science and regulatory independence at the agency and who will turn around
the culture of corruption that has been so damaging to children's health."
