Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson is reporting that data related to the recent rise in cases regarding injury or death from vaccines has suddenly been wiped from a Department of Health and Human Services agency website -- amounting to what Attkisson calls "an abrupt departure from the normal practice of updating the figures monthly."

As previously reported by TruthRevolt, Attkisson is doubtful of the mainstream media's conclusion that the science is settled over there being no link between autism and vaccines, nor is she completely convinced that there is one. Her goal seems to be to continually seek answers regarding this topic and has now set her sights on the recent scrubbing of information by the federal government.

She reports:

In March, the federal government removed the latest vaccine injury court statistics—more than a year’s worth of data—from one of its publicly reported charts. It was an abrupt departure from the normal practice of updating the figures monthly.

Wiping the latest data means the “adjudication” chart on a government website no longer reflects the recent, sharp rise in court victories for plaintiffs who claimed their children were seriously injured or killed by one or more vaccines.

According to Attkisson, there have been twice as many cases ("up 55%") since the beginning of 2014 where a judge has ruled that vaccines "more likely than not" injured the plaintiff. This is the data Attkisson says has now been deleted from their statistics chart.

Attkisson explains how cases play out in "the unusual vaccine court:"

[T]he government acts on behalf of pharmaceutical companies rather than the public, defending vaccine makers against alleged victims. Money damages are not paid by vaccine companies, but through fees collected from patients on every dose of vaccine.

The Health Resources and Services Administration did provide Attkisson with the data when asked. They explained that vaccine makers had "no influence" whatsoever in this decision to remove the data from public view, but was "an internal decision… to ensure that all data was internally consistent."

In addition to removing the latest statistics from the chart, Attkisson states that the chart is now harder to find on the website. Instead of it being the first item on the page, it has been moved and replaced with "language stating that vaccines are safe and effective" and that compensation "does not necessarily mean that the vaccine caused the alleged injury."

In nearly 30 years of claims filed in vaccine court, the winning victims have been paid $3.1 billion according to her report.
