Former Medical Director of Cleveland Clinic Speaks Out After Being Fired for Questioning Flu Vaccine

Last January, the Medical Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute, medical doctor Daniel Neides, was fired due to an article he wrote questioning vaccine safety. Dr. Neides became sick after receiving a flu shot, which caused him to examine more closely the ingredients included in the influenza vaccine. "I, like everyone else, took the advice of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) - the government - and received a flu shot. I chose to receive the preservative free vaccine, thinking I did not want any thimerasol (i.e. mercury) that the "regular" flu vaccine contains. Makes sense, right? Why would any of us want to be injected with mercury if it can potentially cause harm? However, what I did not realize is that the preservative-free vaccine contains formaldehyde. WHAT? How can you call it preservative-free, yet still put a preservative in it? And worse yet, formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. Yet, here we are, being lined up like cattle and injected with an unsafe product. Within 12 hours of receiving the vaccine, I was in bed feeling miserable and missed two days of work with a terrible cough and body aches." Dr. Neides was almost instantly branded as an anti-science heretic, promoting "harmful myths and untruths about vaccinations," in spite of the fact that he made it clear that he was not anti-vaccine. So how does one rise to the position of "Medical Director and Chief Operating Officer" of the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic while being a heretic and anti-science?

Cleveland Medical Director Attacked for Questioning Vaccine Safety

Last week Medical Director and Chief Operating Officer Dr. Daniel Neides of the Cleveland Clinic decided to post an op-ed article titled “Make 2017 the Year to Avoid Toxins (good luck) and Master Your Domain: Words on Wellness." Half of the article is dedicated to the known and well-documented fact that the public in the U.S. is exposed to an unprecedented toxic burden. The other half of the piece is dedicated to raising questions for the public and the medical community to consider regarding vaccines and the current vaccination program in the United States, a program that has seen over $3 billion in injury and death payouts; $114 million in 2015 alone. As Dr. Neides, like his recent free thinking medical peers Dr. Daniel Kalb and Dr. Robert Sears, quickly found out, you don’t get to question or challenge vaccines or environmental toxins publicly when you belong to establishment medicine…period. The corporate media machine— funded primarily by the pharmaceutical industry — groaned to life and bellowed out tired propaganda in unison to counter the traitor within the tightly controlled medical establishment’s ranks. Forbes weighed in with the article title “Cleveland Clinic Doctor Goes Full Anti-Vaccine” while local ABC News 5 Cleveland ran with the title and video investigation “Cleveland Clinic Doctor Faces Discipline After Bashing Vaccines in Blog.” Many other mainstream media outlets followed suit. Yet the majority of the article titles have one thing in common: they are sensational and wrong.
