Introduction
I routinely document in my articles how the mainstream media serve the state by doing public vaccine policy advocacy rather than journalism.[1] The corporate media serve the function of manufacturing consent for government policy by systematically lying to the public about what science tells us about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.
As an illustrative example of a professional vaccine propagandist, take Washington Post health reporter Lena H. Sun. Following are four examples demonstrating how she deliberately deceives readers in dutiful service to the state and, by extension, dutiful service to the pharmaceutical industry.
Lying about the Safety of the CDC’s Vaccine Schedule
In April 2017, Lena Sun wrote a Washington Post article arguing that it’s “a bad idea” for parents to space out their children’s vaccinations rather than strictly complying with the routine schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The concern many parents have is that too many vaccines or too many at one time may be harmful. To deliver the message to parents that they have no reason to be concerned, Sun wrote:
The effectiveness of the vaccine schedule is tested extensively to ensure that the vaccines in the combination don’t interfere with one another and can be easily handled by the infant and the child’s immune system. No new immunization is added to the schedule until it has been evaluated both alone and when given with the other current immunizations.[2]
But that is a brazen lie. In truth, as Neil Z. Miller pointed out in a paper published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons in 2016, “The safety of CDC’s childhood vaccination schedule was never affirmed in clinical studies. Vaccines are administered to millions of infants every year, yet health authorities have no scientific data from synergistic toxicity studies on all combinations of vaccines that infants are likely to receive.”[3]
The Institute of Medicine (IOM), which the CDC itself relies on as an authoritative source, acknowledged in a 2013 report that “existing research has not been designed to test the entire immunization schedule”. As the IOM reiterated, “studies designed to examine the long-term effects of the cumulative number of vaccines or other aspects of the immunization schedule have not been conducted.”[4]
I contacted the Washington Post to point out their error and request a correction. I sent several emails providing them with those sources and then spoke to Lena Sun on the phone. She confirmed that she and the editors had received my request for a correction. She also acknowledged having looked at the IOM report I’d provided. She nevertheless refused to acknowledge her error, instead unthinkingly and absurdly accusing me of having taken the IOM quote “out of context”—as though there was some context that could fundamentally alter the plain meaning of the IOM’s statements so as to accord with Sun’s opposite claim. (The context was simply that the IOM was acknowledging parental concerns about vaccinating according to the CDC’s schedule.)[5]
Both Lena Sun and her editors know better, but to this day, the article on the Post website continues to lie deliberately to parents by telling them that no vaccine is added to the schedule until it’s been studied for safety when given along with all the other vaccines on the schedule.

German Nazi Party member Joseph Goebbels became Adolf Hitler’s propaganda minister in 1933, which gave him power over all German radio, press, cinema, and theater.
It appears the criminal vaccine industry learned a few tricks from Goebbels.

Indeed. The professional propagandists working for the US mainstream media seem to understand very well the usefulness of the Big Lie.
This is the time of year when MSM engages in lies & finger pointing to the public who are unaware of the crimes committed by the pharmaceutical cartel and it’s criminal extensions the MSM. After all it’s Flu Season, gotta sell those vaccines. Next on their agenda is Measles. Actually it’s already stated there. Pharma conspirators have been out in full force since Bill Maher had the gall to discuss vaccine safety in public. Sun probably had her grossly inaccurate article ready to run when it was announced who Maher was going to have on his show. What galls me is the country is facing a crisis of truth. Truth used to be a standard journalist strived for. Not any more. You Jeremy are a JOURNALIST. I don’t agree with everything you write but you strive to maintain balance where as Sun is a paid for pharma stooge. It’s fine if she truly believes what she is writing. But when she has data that disproves what she’s writing and she chooses to ignore it and accuses you of taking the IOM quote “out of context”, she’s not a true believer, she;s a propagandist.
There are still people who can’t move beyond the mantra they have been brain washed with for decades-vaccines are safe and effective, vaccine save lives and test show that vaccine are safe. I engage with them on blogs often but like you, when I post definitive information that can be substantiated by the government-most blog moderators will not post my comment. When I post verifiable information on blogs people who are believers in vaccines don’t, in my experience over the years of engaging, respond whereas pharma trolls will attack in force. They do so to have my comment removed. I also write article bloggers who think they are journalist and give them information that disputes their claims of vaccine have been tested for safety. I provide them with this bit because they may not go directly to the link so I help them out.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
Case 1:18-cv-03215-JMF Document 18 Filed 07/09/18
INFORMED CONSENT ACTION NETWORK: PLAINTIFF
Against
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES: DEFENDANT
Whereas, on August 25, 2017 Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) submitted a Freedom Of Information Act request (the FOIA Request) to the Department of Health And Human Services (HHS or the Department), which was assigned control number 2017-0119-FOIA-OS, that sought the following records:
-WHEREAS, on June 27, 2018, HHS sent ICAN the following response to the FOIA Request;
*The (Department)’s searches for the records did not locate and records responsive to your request. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Immediate Office of the Secretary (IOS) conducted a thorough search of its document tracking systems. The Department also conducted a comprehensive review of all relevant indexes of HHS Secretarial Correspondence records maintained at Federal Records Center that remain in the custody of HHD. These searches did not locate record responsive to your request, or indications that records responsive to your request and in the custody of HHS are located at Federal Records Centers. *

42 U.S. C. 300aa-27 ( c ). 42 U.S. Code § 300aa–27. Mandate for safer childhood vaccines -https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/300aa-27
-For Immediate Release: July 13, 2018 US District Court Judge signs order granting Plaintiff, Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) and counsel, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the relief sought in a lawsuit against the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
The result of the lawsuit is that HHS had to finally admit that it never, not even once, submitted a single biennial report to Congress detailing the improvements in vaccine safety. (they have violated this law for 30 years) This speaks volumes to the seriousness by which vaccine safety is treated at HHS and heightens the concern that HHS doesn’t have a clue as to the actual safety profile of the now 29 doses, and growing, of vaccines given by one year of age.
I challenge them to find where this was overturned. I’ve actually had article writers respond by saying “so what am I suppose to do with this?” I respond by telling them they are on the wrong side of humanity and now they know it.
I hate the fact that lies have become the norm and acceptable. This country is in a crisis state and is spiraling out of control. A county is only as healthy as it’s people and the US has the most physically and mentally sick people in the world. Has unrestrained vaccination attributed to that? I think so.
Thank you for the compliment to my work.
Helpful, well-reasoned article, Jeremy. Thanks for posting it. Just one bit of housekeeping. There is a mistake in the sentence: ‘An ad informing Facebook users that a CDC study found an increased risk of miscarriage for pregnant women receiving a flu shot to years in a row would be dubbed “misinformation”.’ (‘to’ should be ‘two’).
Thank you! I have corrected the typo.
