She’s covered Capitol Hill since February 2006 and has been aWashington-based correspondent there since January 1995. She was also partof the CBS news team that received the Edward Murrow Award in 2005 foroverall excellence. Additionally, she received an Outstanding InvestigativeJournalism Emmy in 2002 for a series on the Red Cross.In case you didn't realize it, Sharyl Attkisson is the investigativereporter behind the groundbreaking CBS News study that found H1N1 flu casesare NOT as prevalent as feared.In fact, they’re barely on the radar screen.How did this startling information come about, and why is the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) painting a differentpicture entirely? I spoke directly with Sharyl Attkisson to find out.Two VideosThe first video is an amazing interview I did with Sharyl about tendays ago and what the bulk of this article is based onThe second video is brand new and was done at noon yesterday in whichI was videoed in the CBS studio in downtown Chicago. Sharyl was graciousenough to invite me to be on with Dr. Bernadine Healty, the former directionof the NIH. We both were in agreement about the swine flu and opposed to thestance the CDC is taking, but we had different views on mammograms.Please also watch the second interview as it is very entertaining.Getting Started on the Swine Flu TrailMs. Attkisson says:“The reason I looked into this is a couple of months ago, I got tipsfrom three or four different segments of public healthcare, with folkstelling me the CDC has recommended that they go ahead and stop testing forand counting swine flu cases.Each different entity that contacted me was concerned, thinking thatthis should not be happening. They really felt that it was necessary for theswine flu to continue to be tracked in some details. So I went about tryingto find out why this decision was made and what the ramifications would be.… I started by contacting the CDC and the HHS and asking some basicquestions. I felt like I pretty much got stonewalled with some of theinformation I really needed to get at, especially what I needed from thestates data, and information on the rationale behind this decision to stopcounting and testing for swine flu.”Because the CDC did not initially respond to Attkisson’s requests, shecontacted all 50 states directly, asking for their statistics on statelab-confirmed H1N1 prior to the halt of individual testing and counting inJuly. She also asked states, one by one, to help explain the rationalebehind the CDC’s decision to stop tracking H1N1 cases.Attkisson continues:“One of my good sources within the government said to me that they’reeither trying to, in his opinion, over-represent the swine flu numbers orunder-represent by not counting them anymore. He said, “You need to find outwhich it is.” And so to find out which it might be, I really wanted to seethe data that the CDC had at the time it made the decision to quit countingthe cases.”What Her Investigative Report RevealsIf you listen to most media outlets and even to government agencies,you get the impression that virtually every person who has visited theirphysician with flu-like symptoms in recent months has H1N1, with no testingnecessary because, after all, there's an epidemic.We are all being led to believe that every case diagnosed as “swineflu” or even as “flu-like illness” is, in fact, swine flu.But Attkisson’s investigation revealed a very different picture rightfrom her first contact with individual states. She explains:“Across the country, state by state, they were testing [for H1N1]until CDC told them not to bother. They were testing, in general, the casesmost likely to be believed to have been swine flu based on a doctor’sdiagnosis of symptoms and risk factors such as travel to Mexico.These special cases were going to state labs for absolute confirmationwith the best test -- not the so-called “rapid testing,” but the realconfirmation test.Of those presumed likely swine flu cases out of approximately everyhundred of what was tested, only a small fraction were actually swine flu.In every instance, perhaps the biggest number of cases that were swine fluwas something like 30%. The smallest number was something like 2% or 3%.Maybe there’s one state where it was just 1%.The point is, of the vast majority of the presumed swine flu casesrecognized by trained physicians, the vast majority were not flu at all.They weren’t swine flu or regular flu; they were some other sort of upperrespiratory infection.”And here is the clincher that it seems the CDC just doesn’t want theAmerican public to know …“The CDC explained that one of the reasons they quit counting wasbecause of all the flu that’s out there, most are swine flu. Well, that’strue. Most of the flu that was out there was indeed swine flu, but theyfailed to say that most of the suspected flu was nothing at all. And I thinkthat’s the caveat the public just didn’t know,” Attkisson explains.She gives even more striking examples of the numbers the investigativereport revealed. For instance:a.. In Florida, 83 percent of specimens that were presumed to beswine flu were negative for all flu when tested!b.. In California, 86 percent of suspected H1N1 specimens were notswine flu or any flu; only 2 percent were confirmed swine flu.c.. In Alaska, 93 percent of suspected swine flu specimens werenegative for all flu types; only 1 percent was H1N1 flu.Freedom of Information and Getting the Truth OutIt is not easy for journalists to access this type of information, andthey often have to wait weeks, months or even years for information from theCDC and the FDA -- information that is readily available and supposed to beclearly public.Attkisson expands on the difficulties she faced in trying to getsimple data regarding swine flu cases in the United States:“They [CDC’s public affairs] quit communicating with me when I pressedon why I couldn’t get certain information. They just wouldn’t answer myemails anymore. So I had to file a Freedom of Information request, which isusually my last choice because I know I was going into a deep black holemany times and I’ll never get an answer.But in this case, I got an interesting response on October 19 from theCDC when I had asked for some simple, public documents that would have beeneasy for them to obtain too quickly.Journalists are allowed to ask for expedited processing of theirFreedom of Information request because, for obvious reasons, they’re workingon a story that may have public impact or be of public interest. Theagencies are not supposed to use the Freedom of Information Law to obstructor delay the release of this information.This may be the first time I was denied that expedited processing fromFreedom of Information that we’re entitled to as members of the press; aletter from HHS or Health and Human Services (the CDC is under HHS) said tome that one of the reasons they’re denying my expedited processing isbecause this is not a matter of “widespread and exceptional media or publicinterest.”In other words, the CDC doesn’t think these questions about swine fluprevalence and these other things that we’ve been asking are, at least intheir opinion in this letter, not a matter of widespread and exceptionalmedia or public interest.”Yet, while the CDC expressed that questions about swine flu prevalencewere not a matter of widespread media or public interest, the President haddeclared the swine flu a national public health emergency!The inconsistencies at the CDC are nearly incomprehensible.The Ramifications of the Swine Flu PolicyAccording to Attkisson’s CBS News study, when you come down withchills, fever, cough, runny nose, malaise and all those other "flu-like"symptoms, the illness is likely caused by influenza at most 17 percent ofthe time and as little as 3 percent! The other 83 to 97 percent of the timeit's caused by other viruses or bacteria.So remember that not every illness that appears to be the flu actuallyis the flu. In fact, most of the time it's not.Curiously, the CDC still advises those who were told they had 2009H1N1 (and therefore should be immune to getting it again) to get vaccinatedunless they had lab confirmation.But because very few people have actually had a lab-confirmed case ofH1N1 (and in most cases those people told they had swine flu probably didnot), this means nearly everyone is still being advised to get the swine fluvaccine.Attkisson has been one of the few to speak out against this flawedsystem and point out the serious ramifications that come when a publichealth agency is secretive about their health data.Attkisson says:“From a public and journalistic standpoint, I believe the mistakecomes when you don’t fully disclose to the public as you go and discover themistakes. Try to disclose and fix things that come up.Everybody understands that there isn’t a perfect system, but I thinkyou need to be upfront with them, explain what you’re doing, and explainwhat you’re discovering. If you’ve made a mistake or you feel like you needto correct something, say that, too, but don’t just try to keep informationfrom the public.”I couldn’t agree more, and Attkisson’s CBS News report has stood outlike a bright light of truth among all the clouds of misinformation.If you’d like to learn more about the report and its findings, you canread all the details in the past article CBS Reveals that Swine Flu CasesSeriously Overestimated.
