Polly Gillespie - when truth matters

Hilary Butler - Monday, May 16, 2016
Polly Gillespie is not one for letting the facts get in the way of an emotive story, even when it concerns the tragic death of her sister. Polly got her sister’s cause of death wrong, her sister’s age wrong, the day she was admitted to hospital wrong, and the day she died wrong. In addition, Polly thought nothing of dishing out hate and literal threats of violence to individuals who...

Flu vaccine causes the flu.

Hilary Butler - Tuesday, June 25, 2013
But not the "actual flu" mind you. The one that everyone thinks is the flu when it's not the flu. Now, let's be precise. The Herald yesterday had this bizarre piece  (pdf) which treads new ground. For once, we are told a bit of truth. Very selective truth. "Thankfully, there is still very little actual influenza circulating in the community, although we are seeing other respi...

Never bite the hand that feeds you...

Hilary Butler - Friday, May 31, 2013
On Monday, Jamie Morton, who calls himself a science reporter, penned an article called, “Your winter flu will count this year”.Jamie Morton’s twitter account, described himself as a, “Scribbler at NZ Herald. Enjoys irrelevant music and coffeehousing. Dislikes Nazis and any concept of a NZ celebrity culture. Views are his own.” Quite what qualifies him as being &l...

How to get sick. Have the flu vaccine.

Hilary Butler - Monday, May 27, 2013
It would seem that tentative toes have entered medical debate over flu vaccines. Ever so tentative.  Almost apologetic actually, which is bizarre, if you look closely at 60 years of very clear medical evidence that the flu vaccine has always performed exceptionally poorly.  But there is another issue here, and it's the "myth" which the medical profession tries to disp...

Part One (of four) Herald on Sunday Flu propaganda

Hilary Butler - Sunday, March 17, 2013
In the three articles written by Chloe Johnson in the Herald on Sunday, March 3, 2013, (here, here and here) there was a ton of misinformation. I pulled her up on all her mistakes, which she refused to accept, and maintains that her articles were balanced and she is proud of them. The Herald on Sunday editor’s contribution to my attempt at redress was ....  to tell me that he ha...

Part Three: Dr Huang's Shiver's propaganda

Hilary Butler - Friday, March 15, 2013
On 6th March, 2013, Dr Huang was interviewed by Radio New Zealand. During this interview Dr Huang emphasised that influenza could be very very serious, and stated that "in Auckland 282 babies per 100,000, were hospitalised last year". 282 hospitalizations sounds BADDDDD doesn’t it. Serious. Nasty. Here’s the problem with Dr Huang’s data. She used a figure which woul...

Part Two: What the Herald on Sunday should have shown readers

Hilary Butler - Friday, March 15, 2013
How many people died from flu in Auckland in 2012?  According to Shivers data:.  A child could understand this stunning graphic, yet Chloe didn’t bother to use it.  Even a mug can see why she avoided this like the plague.  One death from Flu in Auckland doesn't sell papers - no drama, no story. I repeat:  Out of 9 deaths of Serious Acute Respiratory (SA...

Parents want the truth about the flu vaccine, Professor Phillips.

Hilary Butler - Thursday, March 14, 2013
A headline in PerthNow (Adelaide Advertiser) recently read, "Chief medical officer Paddy Phillips says it's time to end debate on jabs" Of course, to Professor Paddy Phillips vaccines are wonderful, safe, effective and anyone who suggests otherwise is misinformed and patently insane.  So he wants all the non-vaccinators to see sense and vaccinate their children.  That's his answer - d...

Vax-ganda - Idiotspeak or Bullseye?

Hilary Butler - Monday, February 25, 2013
The flu vaccine doesn’t work, and never has since that fact was first publicly outed in USA in 1971, and in 1972, there was a USA congressional hearing (S.3419) about it. It had been sold every year from 1940 through to 1975 with almost no potency and DBS (now the FDA) didn’t give a caber toss. However, as time passed, the public forgot. The vaccine manufacturers started...

Annual Flu Death toll of 400, rivals yearly road fatalities

Hilary Butler - Saturday, February 23, 2013
The annual flu barrage has already started in our local paper Franklin County news with this little pearl: Before you read anything else, please flick through this presentation put together by the Cochrane Collaboration Influenza group (Yes, the last three slides bunk out, but the rest is good! This Cochrane powerpoint puts similar things in a different way... ), who believe th...

More Herald Flu Propaganda.

Hilary Butler - Sunday, July 22, 2012
Yesterday I wrote a blog about the Sunday Herald flu propaganda, which resulted in the Herald removing the original article and replacing the Sunday on Herald emotional blackmail with different Pap. Not content with that, the vaccine "stakeholders" must have also said, "Oi, while we're on the phone, can we rope in Rudman?  He's pretty gullible..." and on cue, he pr...

New Zealand Herald's usual Flu propaganda

Hilary Butler - Saturday, July 21, 2012
Today, the Herald printed it's usual annual flu propaganda (I've removed the URL) and a private email to the reporters who put their names to it, was returned. The Herald doesn't allow enough words on the comment facility to deal with the issues, and they only want videos or photos, not facts. Therefore, this blog will address the issues. Addendum 22 July 2012.  The HERALD removed the o...

Eminence Based Medicine Part 3

Hilary Butler - Friday, May 04, 2012
Back to Basics, Part 1 and Part 2, lay the framework for asking the key questions of this blog, which relate to "Just how 'scientific' are vaccines, in principle, in practice, in fact and in application?" In order to understand the implications of that in babies, the lack of understanding about the neonatal immune system (and new discoveries which are very disturbing) - anot...

Does the plot thicken?

Hilary Butler - Friday, September 02, 2011
On 29th August, I wrote a blog about a blog discussing a doctor in Sweden who found arsenic in the Swine Flu vaccine.  An astute reader reminded me of a 2009 finding, reported in Science Daily (pdf) informing readers that arsenic exposure, compromised the immune system when it came to swine flu: "The ability to mount an immune response to influenza A (H1N1) infection is signifi...

Shock ...Horror - treating fever could be bad for you!

Hilary Butler - Monday, November 15, 2010
Today, we are told that fever is good for you!  Now where might you have heard that before?  Oh yeah.Here of course. And you'll find a chapter called "Fever Pitch" in the book we wrote in 2006.  And then there's the chapter called "Bringing chickenpox to the boil" in our second book, published in 2008, which detailed some of the dramas created by Pfizer, who didn't like IAS ...

On "Sciblogs" and throwing stones.

Hilary Butler - Wednesday, September 08, 2010
Oh the irony of it all. Peter Griffin of Sciblogs fame reckons he has H1N1.  Would love to know how he knows that. After all, the only people being tested for H1N1 are those in ICU. Not even “normal” patients in the “fly-by" outpatients get tested. Perhaps he has special connections? Called in a favour maybe? Perhaps he should post the ‘laboratory pro...

On the matter of Dr Anthony J Morris.

Hilary Butler - Saturday, September 04, 2010
On the matter of Dr Anthony J Morris, my verdict on the research skills of the non-skeptics is quite simple. I have known Dr Morris personally since 1984, so can say straight up, that PALMD, the practicising internist from the Great Lakes region of the USA, (PALMD's vitriole, pdf'd and uploaded here - just in case he tries to ever deny he said this) has research skills as useless as a mate o...

Non-Evidence based medicine, Part one.

Hilary Butler - Friday, September 03, 2010
A friend of mine, has not long got out of hospital with her fully breastfed baby. She didn’t actually “want” to be in there but the doctor noted a mild fever, and instantly got “fever phobia” and insisted she go to hospital. ESPECIALLY as the baby wasn’t vaccinated. The mother had been quite content with dealing with it herself, but her mother saw the baby an...

Skeptics Part Two: "Some suggested pamol"

Hilary Butler - Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Why would any real skeptic suggest pamol as a treatment to reduce fever? It’s standard medical practice, and has been used for decades, and THEREFORE, according to skeptics, is ASSUMED to be the truth. There is no doubt paracetamol “works” by reducing fever. But does the word “proven” solely relate to whether a product does what the label says it will do? What abo...
