The Head of the CDC Was Behind the Big Gulp Soda Ban In New York

Hey Bloomberg,<br /> here&#8217;s a big gulp of&#8230;..FREEDOM.</a></p> <p>by Anthony Freda“Hey Bloomberg, here’s a big gulp of…..FREEDOM” by Anthony Freda

NANNY COLABloomberg the Nanny, by William Banzai

Libertarians were outraged by New York City Mayor Bloomberg’s “Big Gulp” ban (which a state court ultimately struck down). They slammed it as a “Nanny State” measure.

But it was current Centers for Disease Control head Tom Frieden who was actually behind the ban.

The New York Times reported in 2004:

Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, the city’s health commissioner,
has turned out to be an active policy advocate among the city’s
department heads, the outspoken architect of some of the Bloomberg
administration’s more controversial policies.

 

Although Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is more closely associated with a
law that bans smoking citywide, the legislation was actually developed
by Dr. Frieden, who was also given responsibility for helping to push it
through the City Council.

 

***

 

Even Mayor Bloomberg’s partnership with Snapple to sell juice in vending machines in schools has not gone without his notice.

 

"I would have preferred water,” he admitted, although he added that he liked the money that the agreement will raise.

 

He is almost certainly the only city agency head who keeps a bowl of condoms in the reception area of his office.

And the Daily Caller reported in 2010:

  • In 2009, Frieden took to the pages of the New England Journal of
    Medicine to sell the need for a soda tax. “It is difficult to imagine
    producing behavior change of this magnitude through education alone,
    even if government devoted massive resources to the task,” Frieden
    wrote. “Only heftier taxes will significantly reduce consumption.”
  • In 2010, after Obama tapped Frieden to head up the Centers for
    Disease Control, Bloomberg announced his support for a soda tax. “The
    soda tax is a fix that just makes sense,” he said in a March 2010 radio
    address. “It would save lives. It would cut rising health care costs.
    And it would keep thousands of teachers and nurses where they belong: in
    the classrooms and clinics.” Three years earlier, Bloomberg said he was
    opposed to a soda tax.

I'd like to see this guy's CV. I wonder if he ever had an Infectious Disease rotation or studied virology.

He is a moron for not designating a real specialist to handle the ebola matter and to act as spokesperson. That would have left him too far from the public eye however. I'm guessing he wants the glory but was not expecting the blame.

A wiser man would have seen the potential problems of pretending to be an expert in an area in which one is not.

The enduring delusion of mankind is for a king, a ruling class of philosophers, a bureaucracy selected on merit and/or by examination, or PhD's -aka doctors thinking for us. Our schools teach the past. The future, at some point, always does not repeat the past.

We are ruled by a venal mediocrity with credentials thinking for us, PhD's and Juris Doctors. Judge a man not by the color of his skin, nor his credentials, but by his acts -MLK paraphrased.

I wish to Christ's son that you who write these pieces for ZH would look at your own complicity in furthering the frustration we all feel at the failure of government.

 

THESE ARE BUREAUCRACIES!!!! They are not designed to do anything but put drones to work in meaningless tasks,  for votes.

They cannot help but reach a level of utter incompetence to deal with the problems, crises, and disasters that they were chartered for.

Your expectations for bureaucratic government worker bees, hired on the flimsiest of credentials, are so far out of whack.

Start with the Premise: "The -------------------- is a bureaucracy", too large for it to function and too large to fail.

Now you  can just nod your head when they royally fuck up which is all the time, be quiet or point to #1,067 on the list of summaries to re-read that have all been written long ago, and save all this bandwidtrh bemoaning a totally predictable event.

So many words would be saved that no one will have to read.

The CDC is a shabby political tool.  They are the ones who tried to sell gun violence as a "disease".  Makes more sense to label the street culture of our inner cities as a disease. 

Can you imagine how demoralizing it must be for the talented scientists who work for the CDC to have their efforts made a farse by the political appointees who infest all our federal agencies?  No wonder the paranoia over whistle blowers.

This subject is related to the NY ban on big gulp soda. As a healthcare provider myself it is encouraging that Dr. Friedman has shown the initiative to promote constraint in the consumption of soda. Some here may see this as 'big brother' but it really is a response to the extraordinary amount of advertising heaped on us to drink this poison.

To me the advertising is more likely 'big brother' to guide us to self-destruct.

If you have any doubts as to the nature of illness that soda inflicts on the GI, renal, cardiac and neurological systems then you are not participating in your personal health.

It is sad to see entire intestinal systems removed due to a short life span of soda cosumption.

I didn't realize that in a constitutional republic that the government had the authority to trample civil rights, ignore public opinion, or social engineer its citizens. no matter how good the intentions, once the power is accpeted as legitimate, there is no activity they will not eventually claim dominion over.

and not to mention. most government policies have nothing to do with good intentions, but are the desires of some hidden special interest group. ie, since insurance companies and government agencies don't want to pay up on all of those promises they made, my drink selection rights should be impaired?

Soda is made from distilled water and thus has no minerals, it is also 2.5pH which is traumatic to the bodies 7.36 - 7.42pH tightly controlled environment. A penny will dissolve within 3 days laying in soda. Then of course there is the cancer causing sweetner or kidney killing sugar.  Great choices.

What are you saying?

Do Coke and Pepsi actually go through the effort to triple distill water when it come free from the tap?...I doubt that, they probably just filter.

sIn this case pH is irrelevant...even if it is low (and pure water cannot be 2.5) the body has numerous buffering and active metabolic systems to deal with pH. Consider vinegar..it does not kill you. Your urine will have a low pH for a day and then back to normal. Yes muriatic acid will kill you but there is the thing called stoichiometry...look it up...scientists discovered it a few hundred years ago. It is very helpful when considering chemical reactions. But I warn you it involves quantiification. It is not as simple as just qualification. That allows you to say almost anything.

Of course, I detest using the force of law to make the sugar addicts do the right thing. How's that war on drugs thing been going the last 30/40/80 years? I rest my case.

I have cut nearly all sugar from my diet and drink nothing but purified water.  My fat has melted away like a blowtorch hit it.  I got my grossly overweight and pre-diabetic friend on the same regimen.  He's now lean and mean, and his doctor is amazed at his progress.  Personally, I get more attention now from women half my age than when I was half my age.  I'm mocked by some of my well endowed in the beer belly friends for drinking nothing but "boring" water, but I don't care as the results are very positive.

Measure out 40 odd grams of sugar into a container which is the ballpark amount in any 12oz can of any soda.  Trust me, you will freak on the actual volume of the sugar.  I'm talking as in half an 8oz measuring cup give or take.

Six years back my GI system had severe IBS and I was well on my way to eventual surgery. Now, after simply dropping soda from my routine, my GI sys. is completely renewed. I associate with a group of similiar fortunate people who try to spread the word.

I try to spread the word too.  I catch a lot of flack and hear nothing but excuses from people.  The subject always is broached when someone asks me how I lost my fat.  Strangely, I lost very little weight due to developing lean muscle which is more dense than fat.  They almost always respond: "I cannot live w/o my soda/sweet tea etc...."

Such classic ones as "How can you drink unsweet tea?".  Easy, once you get used to it, you'll prefer it.  Also, ordering unsweet tea at a restaurant is a great indicator for overall quality as few people drink it down here in the Southeast the regional obesity reigning champion of the US.  "You have nothing but water in your house.  How can you live like that?"  Well, I do have a cabinet full of various fine distilled fermented alcohol concoctions so technically that's not true.

Soda is really nothing more than a mixture of noxious chemicals nearly all of which have an adverse effect.  It's not like the occasional soda is going to hurt you, but chronic consumption of large amounts is detrimental to your overall health.  Don't even get me started on diet sodas and artificial sweeteners.

I upvoted you for having the courage to speak your mind. 

Excessive consumption of suger is obviously bad for virtually everyone. Unfortunatelly, we can't allow the government to put the invisible government gun to people's heads and dictate what people eat and drink. Dr. Friedman and his ilk think they are our overlords enough already. Let the suger do its work. Mother nature will sort it out in time. True the suffering and costs are a downer but people need to pay for their bad habits.

Interesting trend moving towards the mainstream is life style medicine which addresses the leading causes of death and illness, not just symptoms.  I say moving mainstram because now Kaiser officially is recommending a diet inclined towards the whole food, plant based ideal advocated by Colin Cambell (and many others).  For Kaiser, the health of its patients is an economic incentive as it is also the insurance company. 

Do you mean statism or collapsing health is leading to the downfall of the western world?  [I'll go with both.]

I'll go with both as well.

Working in the hospital for over 2 decades as a second career, the overall condition of patients health has certainly been progressing for the worst. Soon I would expect insurance companies such as Kaiser will be asking about fluid intake (soda) as well as smoking, alcohol, exercise and drugs. Most of these are already obtained and placed in permanent files.

Once an autopsy is done there is no hiding from the devil, so to speak.

Bloomberg attempt to regulate soda cup size was overboard and it was not my intent to pardon that, however, any attempt by a health care professional to promote health by reducing soda intake was welcome feedback for a doctor.

If you have ever spoken to a doctor about the ills caused by soda you would understand that they frankly are not about to debate with anyone that which could cause them a lawsuit, even though they are completely justified. 

Corporations are evil doncha know.

A two-year pandemic preparedness project by FEMA and the financial industry is to culminate with two full scale pandemic exercises in November. 

A FEMA document states the “Federal Executive Boards in New York City and Northern New Jersey in partnership with FEMA Region II, The Department of Health and Human Services Region II, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) and the Clearing House Association are sponsoring a two year series of pandemic influenza continuity exercises,” which culminate in full scale exercises in November.

The final planning meeting will be in on November 6th and 7th at  26 Federal Plaza, New York, NY Conference Room A/B or Conference Call 800-320-4330; pin 528585#, states the document.

On November 13, 2014 a pandemic influenza Wave 1 Full Scale Exercise and on November 20th, a Pandemic Influenza Wave 2 Full Scale Exercise.

PLANNING FOR A POWER, PHONE AND INTERNET SHUT DOWN DURING IS PART OF THE EXERCISE.

THE PANDEMIC EXERCISE SEEMS TO BE TIMED TO COINCIDE WITH AN ORCHESTRATED FINANCIAL MELTDOWN. THE PARTICIPATION OF THE FINANCIAL SECTOR IN A FEMA PANDEMIC EXERCISE IS A RED FLAG.

THE Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) and the Clearing House Association ARE PARTNERING FEMA IN THE  PANDEMIC EXERCISE WHICH COULD SERVE AS A COVER FOR A REAL TIME FALSE FLAG EBOLA EVENT AND FINANCIAL CRASH.

Zerohedge has warned an Ebola outbreak would be advantageous for Globalists seeking to impose martial law during a financial meltdown.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-10-10/ebola-outbreak-would-be-advantageous-globalists

US and UK central bankers are meeting in Washington next week to test a financial crash war game.

“A financial crash to rival the one caused by Lehman Brothers’ collapse will be played out by the world’s most powerful central bankers next week, in a “war game” designed to help end the “too big to fail” problem.

In the first simulation of its kind, Janet Yellen, the head of the US Federal Reserve, and Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England, will be joined by Chancellor George Osborne and US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, who will be tested on their reaction to a major US or UK bank failure.”

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/11155381/George-Osborne-and-Mark-Carney-to-play-financial-crash-war-game.html

Tick tock for Billy Gates and his Georgia Guidestones Cabal:

http://vactruth.com/2014/10/05/bill-gates-vaccine-crimes/?utm_source=The+Vaccine+Truth+Newsletter&utm_campaign=8f2f467842-10_01_2014_autism&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ce7860ee83-8f2f467842-408222693 http://www.thenigerianvoice.com/nvnews/105057/1/chad-40-paralyzed-after-meningitis-vaccine.html

As Bill Gates faces a lawsuit for the illegal testing of tribal children in India, it appears that his crimes against humanity have finally caught up with him.

A recent report published by Health Impact News has reported that the Gates Foundation has found itself facing a pending lawsuit, due to an investigation that is being carried out by the Supreme Courts of India.

Health Impact News stated:

“While fraud and corruption are revealed on almost a daily basis now in the vaccine industry, the U.S. mainstream media continues to largely ignore such stories. Outside the U.S., however, the vaccine empires are beginning to crumble, and English versions of the news in mainstream media outlets are available via the Internet.

One such country is India, where the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and their vaccine empire are under fire, including a pending lawsuit currently being investigated by the India Supreme Court.” [1]

The Health Impact News article centered largely on a four-page report that was recently published by Economic Times India.

Eager to know more, I investigated their story and discovered that the World Health Organization, the Gates Foundation and two organizations funded by them, PATH (Program for Appropriate Technology in Health) and GAVI (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization), have found themselves under fire, after a writ of petition originally submitted to the Supreme Court of India, by Kalpana Mehta, Nalini Bhanot and Dr. Rukmini Rao in 2012, was finally heard by the courts.

The petitioners submitting the petition stated:

BMGF, PATH and WHO were criminally negligent trialling the vaccines on a vulnerable, uneducated and under-informed population school administrators, students and their parents who were not provided informed consent or advised of potential adverse effects or required to be monitored post-vaccination.” [2]

Young Tribal Girls Tested With HPV Vaccines

The Economic Times India published their report August 2014. They stated that in 2009, tests had been carried out on 16,000 tribal school children in Andhra Pradesh, India, using the human papiloma virus (HPV) vaccine, Gardasil.

According to the report written by KP Narayana Kumar, within a month of receiving the vaccine, many of the children fell ill and by 2010, five of them had died. A further two children were reported to have died in Vadodara, Gujarat, where an estimated 14,000 tribal children were vaccinated with another brand of the HPV vaccine, Cervarix, manufactured by GlaxoSmitheKline (GSK).

Shockingly, the report stated that many of the consent forms used to vaccinate the girls were signed “illegally,” either by the wardens from the hostels where many of the girls resided, or using thumbprints from illiterate parents.

This travesty was not discovered until a team of health activists from the non-government organization SAMA, an organization specializing in women’s health, decided to investigate what had been going on.

According to the report, they were shocked to discover that a total of 120 girls had been taken ill, suffering from a variety of symptoms, including “epileptic seizures, severe stomach aches, headaches and mood swings.”

The Economic Times stated:

“The Sama report also said there had been cases of early onset of menstruation following the vaccination, heavy bleeding and severe menstrual cramps among many students. The standing committee pulled up the relevant state governments for the shoddy investigation into these deaths.

It said it was disturbed to find that ‘all the seven deaths were summarily dismissed as unrelated to vaccinations without in-depth investigations …’ the speculative causes were suicides, accidental drowning in well (why not suicide?), malaria, viral infections, subarachnoid hemorrhage (without autopsy) etc.”

This information is even more shocking when you discover that the organization funding the study was none other than the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, who declared the project a total success.

Kumar wrote:

“According to the BMGF, the WHO, the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, and the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India have all recommended vaccination ‘as a proven and highly effective preventive measure for cervical cancer.’ The project used vaccines that are licensed in India and that have been administered safely around the world tens of millions of times, preventing countless cases of cervical cancer illness and death, ‘maintains a BMGF spokesperson in an emailed response (see GAVI & PHFI create incentives …’”

He continued:

“BMGF’s role in funding the controversial studies, however, has led to many healthcare activists in India voicing their apprehensions. ‘BMGF has to take full responsibility because PATH is funded by them. It is also unethical when people championing the cause of vaccines are the same ones who are also investing in vaccine development,’ said V Rukmini Rao, one of the activists who filed a writ petition before the Supreme Court in connection with the HPV vaccine studies.” [3]

Absolutely, and this is not the first time that these organizations have been caught illegally testing vaccines in developing countries.

Gates Foundation, WHO, PATH, GAVI, UNICEF Behind Chad Vaccine Disaster

In December 2012, in the small village of Gouro, Chad, Africa, situated on the edge of the Sahara Desert, five hundred children were locked into their school, threatened that if they did not agree to being force-vaccinated with a meningitis A vaccine, they would receive no further education.

These children were vaccinated without their parents’ knowledge. This vaccine was an unlicensed product still going through the third and fourth phases of testing.

Within hours, one hundred and six children began to suffer from headaches, vomiting, severe uncontrollable convulsions and paralysis. The children’s wait for a doctor began. They had to wait one full week for a doctor to arrive while the team of vaccinators proceeded to vaccinate others in the village.

When the doctor finally came, he could do nothing for the children. The team of vaccinators, upon seeing what had happened, fled the village in fear.

The original report written in a small, local newspaper called La Voix, the only newspaper to have published the original story, stated that forty children were finally transferred to a hospital in Faya and later taken by plane to two hospitals in N’Djamena, the capital city of Chad.

Link to VacTruth Article

After being shuttled around like cattle, many of these sick, weak children were finally dumped back in their village without a diagnosis and each family was given an unconfirmed sum of £1000 by the government. No forms were signed and no documentation was seen. They were informed that their children had not suffered a vaccine injury.

However, if this were true, why would their government award each family £1000 in what has been described as hush money?

The only mainstream news channel to have highlighted the plight of these poor children was a local channel called Tchad, which filmed footage of the then-Prime Minister of Chad visiting the children in hospital.

VacTruth has copies of both reports, along with medical and government documents.

Despite this evidence and VacTruth’s detailed and extensive coverage, including highlighting television footage, once again, the vaccine program was hailed a success. To watch videos reporting the story, see the references at the end of this article. [4] [5]

The groups involved with this project were PATH, WHO, UNICEF, and the Gates Foundation. During investigations, it was discovered that the whole project was being run by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

In a press release, the Gates Foundation stated:

“MenAfriVac is a tremendous success story for the global health community. It is the first vaccine developed specifically for Africa, and it proves that global partnerships can develop and deliver high-quality, low-cost vaccines.

Ten years ago, we invested in the Meningitis Vaccine Project,  an innovative model that brought together PATH, the World Health Organization, African health ministers and the Serum Institute of India today, we celebrate the result: a modern vaccine selling for less than US 50 cents per dose with the potential to end Africa’s deadly meningitis epidemics.

We believe that vaccines are one of the best buys in global health. In January, Bill and Melinda Gates called on the global community to make this the Decade of Vaccines. There is no better way to launch this decade than with a new vaccine that will improve and save lives.” [6]

VacTruth can prove otherwise.

Government Inquiry Holds GAVI Accountable for Multiple Deaths

Despite the fact the Gates Foundation call vaccines “one of the best buys in global health,” a government inquiry in Pakistan has found the complete opposite.

In 2011, the Express Tribune published a story stating that:

“ISLAMABAD: A government inquiry has found that polio vaccines for infants funded by the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunisation are causing deaths and disabilities in regional countries including Pakistan.

The startling revelation is part of an inquiry report prepared by the Prime Minister’s Inspection Commission (PMIC) on the working of the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI). The PMIC, headed by Malik Amjad Noon, has recommended that Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani immediately suspend the administration of all types of vaccines funded by the GAVI.”

According to the Express Tribune, the main vaccinations in question were the polio vaccine and the 5-in-1 pentavelent vaccine, which were said to be responsible for the deaths and disability of a number of children in Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Japan.

The vaccines were funded by the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunization (GAVI) an organization financed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Children’s Vaccine Program, the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, the Rockefeller Foundation, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank.

Writing on the official report, made exclusive to the newspaper, the Express Tribune stated:

“The report states, ‘The procured vaccines are not tested in laboratories to confirm their efficacy and genuineness. This leaves room for use of spurious and counterfeit vaccines.’” [7] (emphasis added)

If this is true, then once again the Gates Foundation has been linked to mass vaccination initiatives using untested, unsafe vaccinations.

The Gates Foundation and WHO Labeled Unethical by Medical Experts

In 2012, Ramesh Shankar Mumbai, an author writing for the Pharmabiz website, reported that two medical experts from India had accused the Gates Foundation and WHO of being unethical.

In his report, Mumbai stated that Dr. Neetu Vashisht and Dr. Jacob Puliyel of the Department of Pediatrics at St. Stephens Hospital in Delhi, wrote the following information in their report in the April issue of Indian Journal of Medical Ethics.

“It was unethical for WHO and Bill Gates to flog this program when they knew 10 years back that it was never to succeed. Getting poor countries to expend their scarce resources on an impossible dream over the last 10 years was unethical.”

Pharmabiz.com reported that Dr. Vashisht and Dr. Puliyel had continued their report by stating:

“Another major ethical issue raised by the campaign is the failure to thoroughly investigate the increase in the incidence of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) in areas where many doses of vaccine were used. NPAFP is clinically indistinguishable from polio paralysis but twice as deadly.”

Pharmabiz.com continued:

“The authors noted that while India was polio-free in 2011, in the same year, there were 47500 cases of NPAFP. While data from India’s National Polio Surveillance Project showed NPAFP rate increased in proportion to the number of polio vaccine doses received, independent studies showed that children identified with NPAFP ‘were at more than twice the risk of dying than those with wild polio infection.’” [8]

The corruption and deceit by these organizations does not stop there.

The Gates Foundation Blamed for 10,000 Vaccine-Related Deaths

In 2013, yet another report named the Gates Foundation and GAVI as being responsible for multiple deaths using untested vaccinations on children from the developing world.

The report, published on the website Occupy Corporatism and written by Susanne Posel stated:

“It was found out through an investigation, that GAVI was using an untested vaccine; giving this dangerous vaccine to Pakistani children shows the lack of empathy associated with these organizations.

GAVI was blamed for the deaths of 10,000 children in Pakistan when they came in and administered polio vaccines that resulted in casualties.” [9]

As we know, GAVI is heavily funded by the Gates Foundation. [10]

So, what was the name of the organization that investigated GAVI and found them using untested polio vaccinations in Pakistan?

According to the Express Tribune article, which I referred to earlier in this article, it was none other than the Indian government, who, upon discovering the shocking truth, recommended the immediate suspension of the administration of all types of vaccines funded by GAVI. [7]

In a recent radio show hosted by Sallie O. Elkordy, Susanne Posel gave her frank and honest views on the whole sorry mess that we find ourselves in today.

Warning: This report is not for the faint-hearted. [11]

Conclusion

It is difficult to believe that, despite the mounting evidence outlining the many crimes against humanity that have been committed by the Gates Foundation, GAVI, UNICEF and PATH, Bill Gates is portrayed as a hero among many.

However, according to the definition of hero in the Oxford Dictionary, the word hero means:

“A person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.” [12]

The dictionary I used said nothing about vaccinating innocent, vulnerable children with untested and unsafe vaccinations, causing them to suffer agonizing, untimely deaths.

I almost finished the whole thing....but then I suddenly died.

Seriously...are you willing to take the risk that you're wrong?

What about the guy we're paying to "keep the story contained until after the election"?  Would you call that a good use of your taxpayer dolares?
