Censorship affects VOAT/pizzagate no matter what the originating source. This is a followup to my previous post https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/3073406
While targeting vaccine safety advocates and documentation revealing flaws and corruption in the vaccine industry, Schiff's request for censorship COULD BE APPLIED TO ANY TOPIC. Here is the current outcome:
"Schiff’s letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos follows two others letters Schiff sent to Google head Sundar Pichai and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. In all three, Schiff criticized the platforms for serving up anti-vaccine propaganda where people look for information about vaccines. He also criticized Amazon for accepting paid advertising for anti-vaccine media. “Every online platform, including Amazon, must act responsibly and ensure that they do not contribute to this growing public-health catastrophe,” Schiff wrote." https://www.ageofautism.com/2019/03/adam-schiff-asks-amazon-to-censor-books-about-vaccination.html#comments
The result?
"Censorship is Here. Vaxxed, Removed from Amazon Prime Streaming, Ranked #1 in Category"
"Vaxxed has been removed from Amazon's Prime streaming service. The DVD remains available and is ranked Number 1 in the entire category, even beating out... Mr. Rogers and RBG. See screen photos below. American business is now fully embracing censorship of the vaccine safety topic." https://www.ageofautism.com/2019/03/censorship-is-here-vaxxed-removed-from-amazon-prime-streaming-ranked-1-in-category.html
FYI- Vaxxed was released a few years ago and is a documentary about vaccine whistle blower Dr. William Thompson, Senior Scientist, Vaccine Safety, CDC. He revealed practicing scientific fraud in completing a vaccine safety case study looking for a relationship between giving the MMR vaccine on schedule vs. delayed and the outcome of autism. The data did show a significant link. The protocol was changed to achieve a favorable outcome instead. His sworn statement and documenting evidence was turned over to Congressman Bill Posey. Posey reads Thompson's statement into the Congressional Record: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4546421/rep-bill-posey-calling-investigation-cdcs-mmr-reasearch-fraud
SEE THE TRAILER and all the new WARNINGS! Yes, watching government corruption is a dangerous undertaking.

A teenager who made headlines after defying his anti-vaxx mother testified in front of Congress on Tuesday, saying his mother's misinformation stemmed from social media.
Ethan Lindenberger, a teenager from of Norwalk, Ohio, traveled to Washington, D.C., to speak at a health, education, labor and pension committee hearing Tuesday on a panel alongside health experts including John Wiesman, Washington state's Secretary of Health.
Lindenberger said as he approached high school and questioned why he wasn't vaccinated, his mother often met him with misinformation she found online and in social media groups — never trusting health officials. He recalled showing his mother articles from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and her replying with skepticism.
"That’s what they want you to think," she would tell him, Lindenberger said Tuesday.
In a question-and-answer portion of the hearing, Lindenberger named Facebook as one of the sites his mother used often to wrongly suggest vaccines could cause harm. He also said she has posted videos with fake news on the site.
This isn't the first time Facebook has been accused of being a platform for fake health news. Responding to backlash last month, Facebook said it has "taken steps" to reduce misinformation around anti-vaxx posts.
After his thread went viral, he told "Good Morning America" he never received vaccines for hepatitis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella or chickenpox. In December of last year, he caught up on his missed immunizations.
People choosing not to vaccinate have become a global health threat in 2019, the World Health Organization reported. The CDC recognized that the number of children who aren't being vaccinated by 24 months old has been gradually increasing.
This week, another study showed the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR) does not increase the risk of autism and does not trigger autism in children who are at risk. This research adds to already available studies saying the same.
THIS MAKES ME SICK. I hope this young man does not have horrible reactions to those vacs. God Help Him.

More on this study. It was a Danish study involving an enormous number of subjects over a decade
MMR-Autism Link Debunked ... Again
Not even a hint of relationship in large Danish study
https://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/2727726/measles-mumps-rubella-vaccination-autism-nationwide-cohort-study
Conclusion:
The Wakefield paper.
The MMR Vaccine causes autism idea. was the result of a single paper in the British Medical Journal, The Lancet. It really didn't exist before that. That paper is now found to be fraudulent. The paper studied only 12 subjects. It had one main author and 10 co-authors. However, no subsequent study could reproduce the results and soon the main co-authors took their names off the paper. Years later the main author, Andrew Wakefield by the General Medical Council and they declared his paper was fraudulent and he was declared unfit to practice medicine in the UK.
Among his sins were falsely adjusting the data on all 12 subjects to make it look vaccines were the, ignoring that most of the kids in the study were having behavior problems BEFORE they were vaccinated, not disclosing he was being paid by lawyers who intended to sue the vaccine makers and

BEWARE THE DANISH STUDIES:
"There were no thimerosal-containing vaccines in the Danish program during the study period. The specific MMR vaccine used in the study period contained the following vaccine strains: Schwarz (measles, 2000 to 2007) or Ender's Edmonton (measles, 2008–2013), Jeryl Lynn (mumps), and Wistar RA 27/3 (rubella)."
THIS IS NOT COMPARABLE TO THE U.S. SCHEDULE. No "thimerosal-containing vaccines." Mercury in vaccines has also been suspected to be linked with autism. HepB has 25mg mercury. Flu vaccines contain mercury. Some have hypothesized that the vaccine adjuvants + other vaccines in schedule as a whole, can trigger autism.
According to CDC whistleblower Dr. William Thompson: "But there is this dream data set....I can say, I do think that thimerosal causes tics. I can say, tics are four times more prevalent in autism. There is a biological, there is a biologic plausibility right now I really do believe there is, to say that thimerosal causes autism-like symptoms." p. 37 VACCINE WHISTLEBLOWER: Exposing Autism Research Fraud at the CDC by Kevin Barry Esq.
Also, an earlier CDC /Danish vaccine/autism study ended in a FIASCO:
"FUGITIVE CDC Researcher Tops Federal “MOST WANTED” List"
"WASHINGTON, DC – The Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General has moved Danish Researcher Poul Thorsen to the top of their “Most Wanted OIG Fugitives” list. Thorsen was a top CDC investigator on autism.
“Any research linked to a person indicted for felony criminal activities should be suspect,” stated Eric Uram, SafeMinds Executive Director. “If Thorsen is capable of the crimes listed in this indictment, he is easily capable of falsifying research results. If he is found guilty, CDC should disavow Thorsen’s research and revisit any policy determinations where it was used.”
The U.S. Government indicted Thorsen on April 13, 2011 on 22 counts of wire fraud and money laundering, including the embezzlement of over $1 million of CDC grant money between 2004 and 2010. Funds were given to Thorsen to study links between autism, mercury and vaccines, along with several other developmental disorders. The Office of Inspector General for the US Department of Health and Human Services reported Thorsen remains free, but it seeks his extradition from Denmark.
Astonishingly, the CDC has continued to collaborate with Thorsen since his indictment. As recently as this month, over a year later, Thorsen is still listed as a co-author on research with a CDC employee. “The allegation Thorsen stole money intended for research and claimed full-time employment at two universities at the same time brings everything he has done into question,” said Rebecca Estepp, EBCALA Media Director.
Thorsen was a co-author on one of the five studies used to show no link between autism, mercury and vaccines (Madsen et al. 2003) and was actively involved in the grant funding for two other key studies (Stehr-Green et al. 2003, Hviid et al. 2003). The Institute of Medicine used these studies to justify its 2004 conclusion that no further research was needed on mercury preservatives, vaccines and autism." http://www.vaxchoicevt.com/2012/11/19/fugitive-cdc-researcher-tops-federal-most-wanted-list/

"Poul Thorsen, MD PhD, headed up a research unit at Aarhus University that was hired by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to prepare a series of studies that would exonerate thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative and adjuvant used in vaccines, and the MMR vaccine from any role in causing autism. The veracity of the two studies he co-authored is now in doubt.
These studies formed the foundation for the conclusions of several Institute of Medicine reports that claimed that it was highly unlikely that thimerosal or MMR were implicated in autism.
In a statement Aarhus University officials said that believe Thorsen forged documents supposedly from the CDC to obtain the release of $2 million from the University. Thorsen resigned abruptly in March 2009 and left Denmark. Since then Thorsen has held several jobs in the US, first at Emory University in Atlanta and then at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Documents show that as late as January 22, 2009. Thorsen was employed at Drexel. Any reference to Poulsen has now been deleted from the Drexel website.
Investigations also revealed that while employed full-time for the University of Aarhus in Denmark, Thorsen simultaneously held a fulltime position at Emory University in Atlanta, and drew salaries from both Universities despite a contract with Aarhus forbidding outside employment. According to the statement from Aarhus University.
Autism advocacy groups have published extensive analyses on Thorsen's studies and found many problems in methods, assumptions and conclusions that are supported by the data. And Thorsen is the lynchpin in the series of studies used to dismiss concerns about thimerosal and MMR causing autism.

"Following the Hannah Poling award in 2008 Julie Gerberding, at the time Director for the centers for Disease Control, told Sanjay Gupta on CNN:
"Now, we all know that vaccines can occasionally cause fevers in kids. So if a child was immunized, got a fever, had other complications from the vaccines. And if you’re predisposed with the mitochondrial disorder, it can certainly set off some damage. Some of the symptoms can be symptoms that have characteristics of autism."
On separate occasions the Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration told journalists Sharyl Atkisson and David Kirby:
"The government has never compensated, nor has it ever been ordered to compensate, any case based on a determination that autism was actually caused by vaccines. We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures."" https://www.ageofautism.com/current_affairs/
