Pesticide Exposure Found to Lower Intelligence Pesticides, ubiquitous among not only the food supply but farms and homes worldwide, have been found to be creating lasting changes in overall brain structure — changes that have been linked to lower intelligence levels and decreased cognitive function. Previously linked in scientific research to the massive obesity crisis, pesticides are now known to impact the mind in ways that are still not entirely understood. Despite these findings, they are continually touted as safe by the profit-hungry chemical industry. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, observed pregnant mothers in New York who were exposed to a pesticide known as chlorpyrifos (CPF). Banned in 2001 from household use, the chemical is still used worldwide in agriculture. Perhaps the most startling finding by the academic team is that all of the women in the study, of which there were 369 total, were actually below the US established thresholds of acute exposure.

Big Pharma Co. License Suspended As Vaccine Sterilizes 500,000 Girls A Big Pharma company who manufactured a vaccine allowing for a state-sponsored forced sterilization of over 500,000 girls in Africa has had its licence revoked. According to Kenya’s opposition leader, Raila Odinga, half-a-million young girls are now infertile following a tetanus vaccine administered by the government in 2014 and 2015. Thefreethoughtproject.com reports: The controversy began coming to a head in 2016 when Agriq-Quest Ltd, a Nairobi-based pharmaceutical company got in a dispute with Kenya’s Ministry of Health over their tetanus and polio vaccinations. As the Agence de Presse Africaine reported: Odinga said girls and women aged between 14 and 49 from the fastest growing populations in the country will not have children, because of a state-sponsored sterilization exercise that was sold to the country as a tetanus vaccination. Odinga says they confirmed through analysis of samples that the vaccines used were tainted with the hormone.
» Nanny Bloomberg Strikes Again: Outlaws Painkillers Alex Jones Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com January 11, 2012 Guns and large soda drinks are just the beginning. New York mayor Michael Bloomberg has once again extended the reach of the state, this time outlawing the use of painkillers. Mayor Bloomberg will decide how much pain is tolerable for citizens. The edict from on-high restricts or eliminates the use of the most common painkillers in New York City’s public hospitals. “Abuse of prescription painkillers in our city has increased alarmingly,” Bloomberg said from a lectern at Elmhurst Hospital Center, a public hospital in Queens. According to the New York Times, public hospital patients will be limited to three days’ worth of drugs such as Vicodin and Percocet. Despite the fact Bloomberg and his commissars lack the regulatory authority to impose the new guidelines on private hospitals, several said they would voluntarily adopt the “legislative medicine” measure.

Link Between Vaccines and African-American Boys Hidden by CDC Says Whistleblower “I regret that my co-authors and I omitted statistically significant information suggesting that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed.” These are the words of a senior scientist at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Dr. In a statement released in August, 2014, Dr. In fact, Thompson says the study co-authors “scheduled a meeting to destroy documents related to the study. Thompson retained his own copies of the study notes, however, which he provided to Rep. Recently, however, the facts have come to light in the new documentary, Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe, which exposes the CDC’s fraud, deceit, and obstruction of justice regarding the MMR vaccine. Several health advocacy organizations have joined us in calling on Congress to investigate Dr.

'Vaxxed': an explainer on vaccines and a controversial new film he anti-vaccine documentary “Vaxxed” will premiere Friday in New York, giving critics a first look at a film that sparked a ferocious backlash in the scientific community. The film is directed by a discredited British researcher, Andrew Wakefield, known for promoting the debunked notion that vaccines are linked to autism. It had been set to premiere April 24 at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival. But amid a storm of outrage, actor and festival cofounder Robert De Niro, yanked it from the schedule. Now, a small California distributor that had originally planned to distribute the film after the Tribeca premiere has hastily arranged Friday’s debut screenings. advertisement Here’s what you should know about the controversy: Who’s behind this film? One of the most scorned men in the medical world. Wakefield’s paper was retracted and eventually found fraudulent. Why are the film’s critics so concerned? You don’t often see scientists trying to intervene in a film festival. That’s right.
African-American autism and vaccines Last August, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention senior scientist, Dr. William Thompson, invoked federal whistleblower status and confessed that the CDC has known since 2001 that Black boys exposed to the MMR vaccine have a disproportionate risk of autism. Thompson, a 17-year CDC veteran is the author of some of the leading studies cited by the CDC to exculpate vaccines from the autism epidemic. Thompson, who still works at the CDC, released the raw data sets that he says his bosses at the CDC ordered him to conceal. The buried data were disturbing, but hardly surprising. A 2010 nationwide study of the CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disability Monitoring Network found autism incidence about 25 percent higher in African-Americans than Caucasians. A 2010 study in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health showed that Blacks were at significantly greater risk for regressing into autism after receiving the thimerosal-containing Hepatitis B vaccination series as infants.
