This is understandable; for the man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Armed with our increasingly finely tuned machinery and software we are the proverbial man with the hammer. This prejudices everything we do. Unfortunately it's a bit like the joke about losing something one place but looking for it in another because the light is better. While that approach works well on some occasions, other times it fails. This is particularly true where what is being measured is qualitative.

Moving right along,not that there's much liklihood of you "getting it," but on the off chance:Carroll Quigley wrote:Education in operational terms has no meaning (as all operational definitions have no meaning) because it has no reference outside itself, and all meaning must be based on reference to something outside the object being defined.

Bombshell: CDC destroyed vaccine documents, congressman reveals
On July 29, US Congressman Bill Posey made his last stand on the floor of the House.[1] Granted five minutes to speak, he laid bare the lying of the CDC in a now-famous 2004 study that exonerated the MMR vaccine and claimed it had no connection to autism.
"No connection to autism" was the lie.
Congressman Posey read a statement from long-time CDC researcher William Thompson,[2] one of the authors of the 2004 Pediatrics study[3] designed to determine, once and for all, whether the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine could cause autism.
Thompson saw and participated in violating the protocol of the study.[4] He was there. He helped his co-authors destroy documents that would have shown an MMR-autism link.
You can see a rush transcript of Congressman Posey's remarks here[5] (on the ageofautism.com website), which includes his reading of a statement from whistleblower Thompson.
Posey pleads with his colleagues for a Congressional investigation.
Of note: two of the CDC researchers on the infamous 2004 study, who according to Thompson, destroyed vital documents, are Coleen Boyle[6] and Frank DeStefano.[7] They are both high-ranking executives at the CDC in the area of vaccine safety.
This calls into question every single CDC study, under their tenure, that claims vaccines are safe.
CDC whistleblower Thompson's statement, which Posey read on the House floor, includes this bombshell:
"However, because I [Thompson] assumed it [destroying the documents] was illegal and would violate both FOIA and DOJ requests, I kept hard copies of all documents in my office and I retained all associated computer files. I believe we intentionally withheld controversial findings from the final draft of the Pediatrics paper."
Thompson has the smoking-gun documents. So does Congressman Posey. I believe others do as well.
So: publish them. Publish them now.
There are lawsuits to be filed.[8] Eleven years have passed since the CDC committed its crime of concealing the MMR vaccine-autism connection. How many parents, never informed of the truth, have permitted their children to receive this vaccine? How many children have been struck down by the vaccine?
The lawsuits should be filed against the CDC and the individual authors of the 2004 study. Lawyers must depose every CDC employee who had knowledge of the crime.
And what about the fact that the MMR vaccine is one of the shots that has been mandated, by law, in California,[9] in other states, and in Australia?[10] Mandating neurological destruction of children is a crime that must be investigated and punished. If these states (and other countries) insist on keeping the MMR on their schedules, they are guilty parties.
Here, for background, are earlier articles I wrote about whistleblower Thompson,[11] starting when the story broke in the summer of 2014.
Understand what we are dealing with here, in terms of public exposure: the author of a peer-reviewed and published study; the author who has worked for many years at the CDC; the author who participated in destruction of vital documents; the author has come forward and admitted his crime and the crime of his colleagues. This kind of confession never happens.
But it did happen.
And this story and what it means must not die, no matter how major media outlets try to spin it or ignore it.

But I repeat myself . . .
The UN has halted a measles vaccination campaign in northern Syria after at least 15 children died after receiving shots, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed in a joint statement.
"UNICEF and WHO have been shocked and saddened to learn of the deaths of at least 15 young children in Idlib, Syria," the statement said. "The deaths of the children occurred in areas where a measles immunization campaign had been under way." The children were all under the age of two, Reuters reported, citing aid workers.
Around one hour after being given a second round of the measles vaccine in Idlib on Tuesday, the children demonstrated signs of "severe allergic shock," said Abdullah Ajaj, a physician administering the vaccinations at a medical center in Jarjanaz, according to AP. The second round of vaccinations began in Idlib and Deir Ezzour on Monday. Following the vaccine, some of the children's bodies swelled and they suffocated to death.
