Boston Herald calls for government-run execution squads to MASS MURDER naturopaths, scientists and journalists who oppose mercury in immunizations

From the Boston Heralds editorial staff.
It’s one thing for Hollywood celebrities to wear their anti-vaccine pride like just another fashion trend. It’s another thing when anti-vaccine activists start preying on vulnerable people, particularly within immigrant communities.

Yes, the anti-vaxxers appear to be plying their trade with the Somali community in Minnesota — and the result, sadly, is a dangerous outbreak of measles.

The recent outbreak is now up to 41 kids, all of them under 10. The Washington Post reported Friday that the number of children of Somali descent in Minnesota who have received the vaccination for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) plunged from 92 percent in 2004 to 42 percent in 2014 — not nearly enough to immunize against those diseases.

Skepticism about vaccines within Minnesota’s Somali community goes back a decade, the Post reported, after parents raised concern about possible higher rates of autism among their children (research later indicated that wasn’t the case).

But it seems that was all the truthers needed to hear. When Somali parents sought answers to explain autism, anti-vaccine activists were delighted to fill in the information gap. The disgraced British doctor who once reported a link between vaccines and autism — which was deemed fraudulent and cost him his medical license — has met with families, the Post reported. Even amid this latest outbreak, anti-vaccine groups have fanned the flames, making it hard for public health officials and doctors to be heard above the noise.

These are the facts: Vaccines don’t cause autism. Measles can kill. And lying to vulnerable people about the health and safety of their children ought to be a hanging offense.

    I was not referring to Disney at all. I was referring to anyone in government who willfully works against the interest of the American people and their Constitution. I would argue that these people, in violating their oath for profit, have waged war against the nation they are supposed to be serving and even offered aid to their enemies of the Constitution (sOme mOre than Others).

    The US Constitution states otherwise: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

    Protecting Disney's copyright, no matter how reprehensible, is NOT a treasonous act. Incidentally, Mickey Mouse is actually in the public domain: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!top...

    Treason is the appropriate charge and life imprisonment, forfeiture of wealth and/or execution is the appropriate punishment.

    Our Constitution makes the betrayal exceedingly vile. They no only undermine the system but corrode the public trust in self governance. Treason.

    The Boston Herald did not say that breaking compact fluorescent lights turns your home into a toxic waste dump. It correctly reported several years ago, as did several other sources, that the Maine Dept of Environmental Protection responded to a query by a Maine homeowner that it would cost thousands of dollars for 'professionals' to clean up the effects of their broken bulb.

    The rest of the anti-vaccine hysteria is no better than that misrepresentation of the Herald.

    This is supposed to be a forum for Ayn Rand's philosophy of reason, not anti-technology hysteria incapable of reading a simple newspaper editorial.

    The Boston Herald, which happens to be a conservative newspaper, not the "left", obviously concluded with the phrase "ought to be a hanging offense" as a metaphor to emphasize the seriousness of the phobia it denounced. Even in states with the death penalty for murder, "hanging" is no longer used, which ought to serve as a clue to those incapable of figuring it out on their own.

    The editorial was a well-reasoned article that did not advocate "government-run execution squads to MASS MURDER" anyone, which misrepresentation is hysterical stupidity beneath the level of the sensationalist National Enquirer -- as is the entire "world's top news source on natural health" linked to as a 'source' that is no better than the anti-medical science "Christian Science" sect.

    Please stop embarrassing "Galts Gulch Online" with this nonsense.

    The Boston Herald is a conservative newspaper that does not support Sen. Big Squaw Running Mouth.

    Those in Congress who accept bribes should be exposed and indicted. Or are they immune from prosecution for corruption, dishonor and betraying the American people? (I'm such a blooming idealist.)

    The vaccine makers are exempt from lawsuits under special legislation, so they don't operate under the usual threat of product liability suits (see link). http://www.npr.org/sections/health-sh...
    The doctors generally cite the studies and the hassle of obtaining vaccines without the thimerosal. Such vaccines are produced, but they are not readily available in all areas. I believe California now requires that vaccines without thimersal be available for parents who request it for their children. I would recommend such a request. Also, vaccinations should be spaced out so children are not hit with multiple doses all at once. If your doctor doesn't know if the vaccinations contain thimerosal or not, assume they do. If your doctor won't administer vaccines without thimerosal, get another doctor. Doctors have not been blameless in all this, but denial runs deep.

    Everywhere you look you see laws written to protect corporate interests and stifle productivity. The copyright laws were changed to let Disney maintain the value of the IP created in the early 20th century (Mickey et al.) As a result today's music artists are paying the 4th generation of parasitic descendants of composers from 100 years ago to perform music that should be public domain. Thousands of creative producers have to support parasites because a shyster took over at Disney and paid off the US congress.

    The vaccine manufacturers, via Federal legislation are not liable for injuries caused by vaccines. That regulation was later bolstered under G.W Bush with the Patriot Act. Everybody knows that a good patriot is ok with injuring kids...

    Imagine an incredibly powerful, wealthy person who secretly prospers from conflict, disease and war learns that certain sound frequencies (those easily divisible by two, signifying opposition) create conflict, discord and disharmony while those divisible by three (signifying balance, polity, reconciliation, harmony) produce symmetry, and visually harmonic, pleasing structures.

    Now imagine that he has the power to establish the tuning standard of all musical instruments throughout the Western World.

    Imagine that he bases the entire scale of musical artistic creation upon a frequency which would skew vibrations towards discord.

    It sounds like science fiction. Yet this is exactly what transpired in September 1939 when Rockefeller (Illuminati) financial interests dictated that the standard tuning for the note of "A" above middle C would henceforth be said to vibrate at precisely 440 cycles per second.

    This unnatural standard tuning frequency, removed from the symmetry of sacred vibrations and overtones, has declared war on the subconscious mind of Western Man.

    The standard tuning fork, which is set to vibrate the note "A" above middle C at 440 cycles per second, is based upon a frequency only divisible by two rather than three, which means that all of the musical notes both above and below it are affected.

    Despite the apparent "sweet music" a symphony orchestra can produce, when all instruments are tuned based on the A=440Hz key frequency, they are covert weapons no matter what "music" they may be playing.

    These destructive frequencies entrain the thoughts towards disruption, disharmony, disunity. Additionally, they also stimulate the controlling organ of the body -- the brain -- into disharmonious resonance, which ultimately creates disease and war. - See more at: https://www.henrymakow.com/musicalsca...

    Well... this is the Boston Herald... no paragon of Truth in it's own right. The very same people who said that if you break one of the PC fluorescent lights in your home to cut out the portion of the run where the shards and dust landed and take it to a toxic waste dump - do not put it into a plastic bag and into your normal garbage. They have not identified the causes of autism for us. They have not even acknowledged that the several dozen doses of vaccines (I think it is up to 95 by age 12) that are 'gang' injected into our children might be overwhelming their little bodies immune systems. In "the old days" we got the measles and got over it. Were as many children ruined for life as now (with autism, etc.)? That's a real question - I am not a researcher who knows. Drug companies make BILLIONS of dollars on these drugs and cannot be sued for the 'side effects'. This whole thing needs to be re-thought as we dump ObamaCare and get the Feds out of the medical business. Maybe, what needs to be done is to have a group of dedicated people monitor the drug company's support of federal legislators and make that part of the up-coming campaigns. Use Saul Alinsky's tactics on them :-))

    Thanks. How can we get them to stop adding it? How did it pass the approval cycle? Extending shelf life is hardly a justification for ruining human lives. They can deny that harm is involved, but in case of doubt, manufacturers' self-interest would suggest erring on the safe side. And why would doctors keep using it?

    Yes, the "health ranger" does tend to go overboard on his causes. Unprofessional and makes it easier for his targets (valid or not) to marginalize his arguments.

    Cigarette smoking is not harmful to human health. Artificial sweeteners are safe to eat. DDT is safe and effective. GM foods pose no threat to humans. Roundup is a God-send for weed control. Vaccines with mercury have not been proven harmful. It's the same old big money protecting it's bottom line.

    A "hanging offense" may have been an editorial hyperbole. It doesn't say the government should run execution squads. We're having enough controversy over methods of execution already. Maybe the Herald is just nostalgic for good old-fashioned lynch mobs. "Execution squads" is an over-dramatized extrapolation by the Natural News "Health Ranger", who proceeds to then escalate to calling it terror threat and genocide. And he labels the Herald editors insane and psychopathic. Oh, wait, he's just trying to peddle his snake oil.

    I swear by Apollo the Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture.

    To hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my livelihood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture; to impart precept, oral instruction, and all other instruction to my own sons, the sons of my teacher, and to indentured pupils who have taken the physician’s oath, but to nobody else.

    I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrong-doing. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even, verily, on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein.

    Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets.
    Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I transgress it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me.[5]
