De Niro axes anti-vaccination film from Tribeca after scrutiny

Published March 27, 2016

Actor Robert De Niro announced Saturday he is yanking the anti-vaccination documentary “Vaxxed” from the Tribeca Film Festival, after initially defending its inclusion.

“Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Conspiracy” was set to be part of the film festival when it opened next month. The decision to include the film by anti-vaccination activist Andrew Wakefield received some scrutiny, particularly because Wakefield’s contention that vaccines have a link to autism has been discredited.

De Niro defended the inclusion of the film on Friday, but reversed his decision Saturday.

“My intent in screening this film was to provide an opportunity for conversation around an issue that is deeply personal to me and my family,” De Niro said in a statement. “But after reviewing it over the past few days with the Tribeca Film Festival team and others from the scientific community, we do not believe it contributes to or furthers the discussion I had hoped for.”

The film festival sparked some outrage earlier this week when it announced it would screen “Vaxxed” at this year’s festival. According to the Los Angeles Times, the movie alleges that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has covered up the notion that measles, mumps and rubella vaccines increase the risk of autism.

The trailer for the film also asks if “our children are safe” over the image of smoke bellowing out of a syringe, according to The Guardian.

De Niro Backs Down: Documentary Linking Vaccines to Autism Will No Longer Be Shown At Film Festival

Actor previously wanted film screened as "opportunity for a conversation around the issue"

Adan Salazar - March 26, 2016

The Tribeca Film Festival has announced it will no longer be screening a documentary film depicting a causal link between vaccines and autism, following backlash that arose after actor and festival co-founder Robert De Niro declared he wanted the film to be shown.

De Niro had previously defended wanting to screen the film, “Vaxxed: from Cover-Up to Catastrophe,” but on Saturday wrote he had re-considered his decision after reviewing it with staff:

“My intent in screening this film was to provide an opportunity for conversation around an issue that is deeply personal to me and my family. But after reviewing it over the past few days with the Tribeca Film Festival team and others from the scientific community, we do not believe it contributes to or furthers the discussion I had hoped for.”

VAXXED film pulled from Robert De Niro's Tribeca Film Festival following totalitarian censorship demands from pharma-linked vaccine pushers and media science trolls

Sunday, March 27, 2016
by Mike Adams,

A much-awaited and explosive documentary film called VAXXED - From Cover-Up to Catastrophe was suddenly pulled from Robert De Niro's Tribeca Film Festival following an intense censorship effort waged by the vaccine-pushing mainstream media and pharma-funded media science trolls.

Watch the explosive VAXXED trailer at this YouTube link, and you can find the VAXXED Facebook page at this link.

The Tribeca Film Festival was co-founded by Robert De Niro, who has a child with autism and who originally supported the free speech efforts of filmmakers to create "an opportunity for conversation around the issue." But the vaccine totalitarians and media science trolls who demand absolute obedience to the fraudulent narrative that vaccines are "safe and effective" have zero tolerance for any intelligent conversations about vaccines. They demand utter surrender to the official story on vaccines, with no willingness to discuss any of the evidence revealing a known, documented link between vaccines and autism. Even more shockingly, they have now gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure that no one else has the right to see this film, either, because what they learn in this documentary might be wildly dangerous to the vaccine establishment.

To try to strong-arm De Niro into pulling the film, intense shaming pressure was brought to bear against Robert De Niro by the vaccine totalitarians, who told De Niro this documentary was so dangerous that no one should ever be allowed to see it. Vaccine safety, they insist, can't even be allowed to be DEBATED, they insist! Only one side of the debate may be seen by the public, and that one side must be the 100% pro-vaccine side which ridiculously claims that "the science is settled" even when no one is allowed to see the science they don't want you to see.

With this conspiracy to silence the VAXXED documentary and deprive the public access to the other side of this intense debate, the vaccine industry is now engaged in the documentary equivalent of book burning in order to ensure that none of the truth about vaccine dangers and vaccine-autism links ever see the light of day.

The sad thing is he has a son with autism. Instead, he Crimps and folds. *Sigh*

There has not been any link established between vaccines and autism. There is a correlation (correlation is not necessarily causation) between the age of a parent and having an autistic child. His autistic son is 18 and De Nero is 72 meaning he had his son when he was 54.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/parents-age-childs-autism-risk/

The results, published today in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, found that autism rates were 66 percent higher among children born to dads over 50 years old, as compared to dads in their 20s. Autism rates were 15 percent higher when moms had children in their 40s and 18 percent higher for children of teen moms, when compared to those born to women in their 20s.

What the News Isn’t Saying About Vaccine-Autism Studies

Sharyl Attkisson

A new study this week found no link between vaccines and autism. It instantly made headlines on TV news and popular media everywhere. Many billed it as the final word, “once again,” disproving the notion that vaccines could have anything to do with autism.

What you didn’t learn on the news was that the study was from a consulting firm that lists major vaccine makers among its clients: The Lewin Group.

That potential conflict of interest was not disclosed in the paper published in The New England Journal of Medicine; the study authors simply declare “The Lewin Group operates with editorial independence.”

(As an aside, according to OpenSecrets.org, The Lewin Group’s parent company, UnitedHealth Group, is a key government partner in Obamacare. Its subsidiary QSSI was given the contract to build the federal government’s HealthCare.gov website. One of its top executives and his family are top Obama donors.)

Conflicts of interest alone do not invalidate a study. But they serve as important context in the relentless effort by pharmaceutical interests and their government partners to discredit the many scientists and studies that have found possible vaccine-autism links.

Many Studies Suggest Possible Vaccine-Autism Links

When the popular press, bloggers and medical pundits uncritically promote a study like The Lewin Group’s, it must confound researchers like Lucija Tomljenovic, Catherine DeSoto, Robert Hitlan, Christopher Shaw, Helen Ratajczak, Boyd Haley, Carolyn Gallagher, Melody Goodman, M.I. Kawashti, O.R. Amin, N.G. Rowehy, T. Minami, Laura Hewitson, Brian Lopresti, Carol Stott, Scott Mason, Jaime Tomko, Bernard Rimland, Woody McGinnis, K. Shandley and D.W. Austin.

They are just a few of the many scientists whose peer-reviewed, published works have found possible links between vaccines and autism. But unlike The Lewin Group’s study, their research has not been endorsed and promoted by the government and, therefore, has not been widely reported in the media. In fact, news reports, blogs and “medical experts” routinely claim no such studies exist.

To be clear: no study to date conclusively proves or disproves a causal link between vaccines and autism and—despite the misreporting—none has claimed to do so. Each typically finds either (a) no association or (b) a possible association on a narrow vaccine-autism question. Taken as a whole, the research on both sides serves as a body of evidence.

CDC Scientist: ‘We scheduled meeting to destroy vaccine-autism study documents’

Sharyl Attkisson

A current Centers for Disease Control (CDC) senior scientist has made an unprecedented admission: he and his colleagues–he says– committed scientific misconduct to cover up a meaningful link between vaccines and autism in black boys.

Just as startling, the CDC scientist, Dr. William Thompson, says the study co-authors “scheduled a meeting to destroy documents related to the study. The remaining four co-authors all met and brought a big garbage can into the meeting room, and reviewed and went through all the hardcopy documents that we had thought we should discard, and put them into a huge garbage can.”

The…co-authors…brought a big garbage can into the meeting room… [and put the documents]…into a huge garbage can. –CDC Senior Scientist Dr. William Thompson

Despite this whistleblower testimony, which Dr. Thompson provided to Rep. Bill Posey, R-Florida, there is little chance of a meaningful hearing or investigation.

Sounds like he didn't want to be involved in the spread of misinformation. This misunderstanding about vaccines has led to the loss of many lives. I often wonder what motivates those who are capable of comprehending the facts. Perhaps it's as simple as some of them just wanting a culling of humans to conserve the planets resources for the more intelligent.

His son has autism! The country needs to discuss these issues rather than demonizing people who ask the questions. He caved in to pressure--quite obvious. I lost all respect in him for his cowardliness.

I'm sure he prefers having an autistic son to a dead son.

The "William Thompson" data was not destroyed. It was removed from a study trying to see if there was a cause/ effect between the MMR vaccine and autism. They did remove a cohort of patients which had indicated a possible correlation for black male kids. They were removed because they had already been diagnosed with autism prior to receiving their MMR vaccination as a condition for enrolling in a special school. Since they had autism before being vaccinated, it is not possible that the vaccine caused their autism. So they removed those kids from the data. The study found no links between the vaccine and any other groups of people.

There was no cover-up.

Noting that the Vaxxed film was written and co-directed by Andrew Wakefield who has been discredited.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/26/h...lm-festival-andrew-wakefield-vaxxed.html?_r=0

The film, “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe,” is directed and co-written by Andrew Wakefield, an anti-vaccination activist and an author of a study — published in the British medical journal The Lancet, in 1998 — that was retracted in 2010. In addition to the retraction of the study, which involved 12 children, Britain’s General Medical Council, citing ethical violations and a failure to disclose financial conflicts of interest, revoked Mr. Wakefield’s medical license.

On the festival’s website, the biographical material about Mr. Wakefield does not mention that he was stripped of his license or that his Lancet study was retracted. Rather, it says that the Lancet study “would catapult Wakefield into becoming one of the most controversial figures in the history of medicine.”

On Friday, Robert De Niro, one of the festival’s founders, said in a statement issued through the festival’s publicists that he supported the plan to show the movie next month, although he said he was “not personally endorsing the film,” nor was he against vaccination.

The film was going to be shown only once- on the festival's final day.

Yes, that is one thing that for some reason, some folks just aren't comprehending....they made up their minds on false scientific evidence that it's the vaccines, and nothing will ever open them...crazy. Sounds like Mr DeNiro has realized that the study has been discredited, and is smart enough to back out....

BREAKING: Pressure to censor VAXXED documentary at Tribeca Film Festival came from the Nazi-linked Sloan Foundation, headed by CFR member Paul Joskow

Monday, March 28, 2016
by Mike Adams

As the story on the censorship of the VAXXED documentary continues to unfold, we are learning that Robert De Niro was pressured by none other than the Sloan Foundation in New York to blacklist the independent documentary.

The Sloan Foundation is so named from Alfred P. Sloan, a Nazi collaborator and eugenics depopulation promoter. It's no coincidence that his own beliefs on using medical interventions to reduce race-targeted populations coincides perfectly with the stated depopulation goals of Bill Gates (whose financial web of influence is woven across the entire vaccine propaganda landscape).

What led me to connect the dots on this is a short piece from Celia Farber of The Turth Barrier, who originally noticed the Sloan Foundation link.

As admitted on this Tribeca Film Festival web page:

The New York based Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, founded in 1934, makes grants in science, technology and economic performance... The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, in partnership with the Tribeca Film Institute, provides funding for narrative features or series that are scientifically relevant, accurate, and exciting through the TFI Sloan Filmmaker Fund.

Zen Gardner, meanwhile, reveals the shocking history behind Alfred P. Sloan as a Nazi collaborator and eugenicist:

Industrialist Alfred P. Sloan, as head of General Motors, was a Nazi collaborator, and ardent admirer of Hitler. Sloan's hatred of blacks was almost as intense as his hatred of Jews. He had a close connection with the eugenics movement which eventually became the Human Genome Project. The Sloan Foundation, together with the Rockefeller nexus, held a long standing interest in population reduction, including their involvement with the introduction of mysterious new vaccines together with the World Health Organization, which has a stated policy of population reduction, as clearly set forth in Agenda 21. (truthaboutagenda21.com).

This dubious enterprise led to a massive vaccine initiative to vaccinate against relatively rare tetanus in The Philippines, Nicaragua, and Mexico. These vaccine vials, distributed by the WHO, were found to contain hCG, which when combined with tetanus toxoid carrier, stimulated formation of antibodies against human chorionic gonadotropin, rendering women incapable of maintaining a pregnancy and potentially inducing a covert, involuntary abortion. Population control under the cover of health care. (ethiofreedom.com).

VAXXED! Robert De Niro Mysteriously Backs Away From Screening Vaccine Truth Film At Tribeca Festival

SOTN Editor’s Note:

The whole world was just treated to the raw political power and breath-taking speed that is regularly exerted by the medical-pharmaceutical cartel whenever their super-vaccination agenda is threatened.

When a famous actor like Robert De Niro can be intimidated into withdrawing his film that exposes the truth about the global super-vaccination agenda, you know the concerned vaccine manufacturers and government agencies went full bore to stop its release.

Really, just how long does this criminal vaccine cabal believe that they can impose such an inherently destructive and deadly vaccine regime on the nation … and expect to get away with it?

No entity under the sun has the right or lawful authority to arrogate power unto itself to harm or injure, sicken or infect, paralyze or kill the people of this nation. Not only is such conduct by the state a serious breach of the social contract, it represents a profound violation of the public trust. Vaccination programs therefore break the inviolable bond between the citizenry and the government.

Most importantly, the systematic administration of state-mandated childhood vaccines constitutes a highly dangerous and deadly criminal enterprise. Those government officials and corporate co-conspirators responsible for this ongoing chemical assault ought to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Vaxxed: How did they threaten Robert De Niro?

De Niro talked to Congressman about censored Vaxxed film

by Jon Rappoport

March 27, 2016

“On July 26, 2000, the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association published a review by Dr. Barbara Starfield, a revered public-health expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Dr. Starfield’s review, ‘Is US health really the best in the world?’, concluded that, every year in the US, the medical system kills 225,000 people. That’s 2.25 million killings per decade.” (Jon Rappoport, The Starfield Revelation)

This is explosive.

This is about a film no one can see, because it exposes lunatics and destroyers in the vaccine industry.

Here is a quote from the Vaxxed producer and director, after their film was just axed from Robert De Niro’s Tribeca Festival (as reported by Jeremy Gerard, see: “‘Vaxxed’ Filmmakers Accuse De Niro, Tribeca Film Fest Of ‘Censorship’ In Wake Of Cancelation,” 3/26/2016):

“’To our dismay, we learned today about the Tribeca Film Festival’s decision to reverse the official selection of Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe,’ said Andrew Wakefield and Del Bigtree (the director and producer, respectively). Robert De Niro’s original defense of the film happened Friday after a one-hour conversation between De Niro and Bill Posey, the congressman who has interacted directly and at length with the CDC Whistleblower (William Thompson) and whose team has scrutinized the documents that prove fraud at the CDC. …” (emphasis added)

Okay. So here is the sequence…

One, De Niro, who has an autistic child, decides to screen Vaxxed at his Tribeca Festival. It’s a film that reveals lies and crimes, and shows there is a causative connection between vaccines and autism.

Two, pressure is applied to De Niro, so he meets with Florida Congressman Bill Posey, who lets him know the film is right on target. Posey knows, because he and his team have many pages of documents from CDC researcher, William Thompson, who blew the whistle on vaccine-autism fraud in 2014.

Three, De Niro decides he’ll not only screen the film, he’ll introduce it himself, live, onstage.

Four, out of the shadows emerge people who put the screws to De Niro. What do they tell him? His career in film will end? His annual Tribeca Film Festival will go down the toilet? The medical treatment his autistic child is receiving will be cut off? He and family are now “not safe?”

Five, De Niro backs away and cancels the showing of Vaxxed.

He’s been taught a lesson. Don’t go up against the medical cartel. Keep your mouth shut. Suffer in silence.
