  • H1N1 vaccine shortage fabricated to create hysteria, boost demand?

    Thursday, Nov 5th, 2009

    There’s a fascinating book by author Robert Cialdini called Influence – The Psychology of Persuasion. As someone who frequently writes about Big Pharma’s social engineering tactics, I’ve read and studied many of these tactics, noting carefully how governments and Big Business use them to wage disinformation campaigns against the People.

    I was recently chatting with friends on my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/NaturalNews) when a friend named Jennifer pointed out that she thought the vaccine shortage had been intentionally engineered to create greater demand once the vaccines were available. This immediately got me thinking about a chapter in the Cialdini book that writes about something I call the “disappearing cookies in the cookie jar” experiment.

    This experiment reveals an extremely powerful strategy for influence. And as it turns out, the pharmaceutical industry is using precisely this strategy for fabricating huge demand for their vaccines in an effort to make sure all the vaccines sell out.

    The experiment goes something like this:

    A volunteer subject sits at a desk in a room, thinking he’s there to answer some survey questions, but in reality, this is an experiment on human behavior and covert influence. A researcher sits on the other side of the desk, facing the subject. There is a glass jar on the desk, filled with cookies.

    The researcher casually asks the subject, “Would you like a cookie?” And some percentage of subjects say yes, but it’s a small number, perhaps something like 15% – 20% (I don’t remember the exact numbers, but that’s not important to the bigger point here). This same scenario unfolds across several hundred subjects in order to get a baseline measurement on how many people will take a cookie when one is offered to them.

    To continue the experiment, the researchers then remove most of the cookies from the cookie jar and bring in another few hundred subjects to see how many of them will take a cookie when the visible supply of cookies is smaller. Some percentage of students take a cookie, but it’s still not substantially different from the first part of this experiment when the cookie jar was full. So even though a larger number of people take a cookie when the available supply is smaller, it’s still not a huge number.

    H1N1 vaccine shortage fabricated to create hysteria, boost demand?  071009banner3

    The real magic happens when the experiment is repeated a third time, and during the experiment, before the subject is asked for a cookie, another unidentified person walks into the room and takes a cookie themselves! This is done in full view of the study subject who now sees a dwindling supply of cookies in the cookie jar. Subsequently, when now asked if they want a cookie, virtually everyone takes a cookie!

    What this study caused researchers to realize is the influence power of a recently-reduced supply of a given item. Or, put another way, people want what other people are taking, and the more other people are reducing the available supply, the more people want it!

    Big Pharma is using this same brain hack to fabricate hysteria over vaccines

    This phenomenon is a sort of “brain hack” that’s hard-wired into human neurology. It works almost hypnotically to create a surge of demand where none would rationally exist.

    This is what’s at work at frenzied retail store sales where a half-mad crowd of crazed shoppers trample each other to buy shoes at 70% off. The reason why these people are so strongly motivated to buy the products is because they are witnessing a rapidly-dwindling supply being depleted by everybody else. The witnessing of that act causes an almost hypnotic (and entirely irrational) increase in personal desire to have those same products, even if they don’t need them!

    Are you following this so far? It’s a powerful social engineering influence hack that works automatically on the human brain. People can’t help themselves. They irrationally desire the vaccine for no reason other than the fact that the available supply is disappearing quickly and other people are taking it. By engineering this situation, the pharmaceutical industry has created the perfect influence gimmick for selling more vaccines. The current vaccine shortage, in fact, looks to have been deliberately created for the sole purpose of exploiting this planned shortage to take advantage of the “disappearing cookies in the cookie jar” principle of human psychology.

    You can already see it at work with the ridiculously long vaccination lines outside clinics in some cities. A few shots are made available and then the rest of the people are told, “We ran out. Sorry, go home.”

    Even better, with high demand but limited supply, drug companies and vaccine distributors can engage in profiteering price fixing schemes to maximize their income from the vaccine shortage hysteria. Swine flu manufacturers and distributors are already under investigation for precisely this sort of fraudulent price fixing (http://www.reuters.com/article/comp…).

    How to engineer a shortage to create hysteria

    Of course, the drug companies aren’t the first corporations to figure out that planned product shortages combined with lots of media hype can create a windfall of profits. You may recall that the very same influence strategy was used against parents during the great Cabbage Patch Kids shortage of 1984, in which shoppers experienced total hysteria in their rush to acquire the dolls for their children.

    At the time, psychologists were baffled by the behavior, but now, after understanding the disappearing cookies in the cookie jar experiment, it all makes sense. Whether you’re talking about Cabbage Patch Kids or the H1N1 swine flu vaccine, every engineered product shortage follows basically the same recipe:

    Step 1) Create huge demand for your product through mainstream media FEAR campaigns. (Make parents afraid of the flu, or afraid they won’t get the right toy for their child, etc.)

    Step 2) Limit your SUPPLY of the product, allowing only a trickle to be delivered to the population.

    Step 3) Wait for the people to panic. Keep holding back supplies in order to foment more fear (which creates more demand). Meanwhile, tell the press you’re trying to provide more products, but you’re suffering from “production failures.”

    Step 4) When the panic reaches its apex, unleash the full supply of product to desperate people who will line up like sheeple to buy your product. But keep prices high, since the demand already exists to support high prices.

    Step 5) Watch the magic of influence work profit miracles as your product sells out at premium prices!

    Other places you’ll see this at work

    This fascinating principle of human psychology, by the way, explains why online auctions work so well. When bidding against other buyers for a unique item with a supply of only one, a buyer can often engage in irrational purchasing behavior, bidding up an item they don’t even need merely because they can’t stand to see the other person “win” the bid. It becomes highly competitive, and Ebay is structured precisely to invoke this irrational purchasing behavior response on the part of participants.

    Of course, just because a “dwindling supply” of something is being communicated to consumers doesn’t always mean it’s fabricated. On Ebay, for example, there really is often just one of a certain product available. Even on NaturalNews, we’ve published “dwindling supply numbers” on giveaway offers where a certain nutritional supplement company has promised only a limited number of free samples to NaturalNews readers.

    But no one has played this influence game more masterfully than the drug companies who have fabricated and promoted a global hysteria over a vaccine product that no one even needs in the first place. In fact, by the time this vaccine makes it into widespread distribution, most people will have already been exposed to H1N1 on their own, meaning they are naturally immune to the virus and don’t need a vaccine at all.

    In effect, then, drug companies will have managed to push virtually the entire population into a state of hysteria over a product that doesn’t even work. By any measure, that’s a masterful (and downright evil) manipulation of the public mind.

    Remember those old Batman shows where the villain operated a mind control machine that broadcast hypnotic messages to the entire city? As it turns out, that isn’t fiction. It’s being done today by Big Pharma, right through your television set. It’s quite possible that the mass hysteria over swine flu vaccines was a fabricated, planned event specifically designed to make people desperately want something they normally wouldn’t even pay attention to.

    Stage hypnotists take note: If you’re looking for easy subjects for your shows, just recruit the people standing in line desperately hoping to receive a swine flu vaccine injection…

      Our county (Mecklenburg) got a $1.5 million federal grant yesterday for the Health Department. The money is to go towards hiring healthcare workers to help distribute the H1N1 vaccine.

      They did get a shipment of the vaccine in yesterday, but it’s only for pregnant women and people who take care of sick people. (By appointment only) Now if I can round up enough people to book some bogus appointments…..

      Good article my friend. This can be extrapolated to how we perceive “reality”. This is why there are sheeple in the first place. We were all brought up on tv and its covert and overt methods of manipulation. Alongside this conditioning, we were also being trained to follow the crowd because therein lies acceptance and reward. TV also hammers this into us constantly. These two avenues of manipulation are the main ones the illuminati use to create their own mythology. They put words into our mouths and thoughts ( usually in the form of fear ) into our heads and make us think they are our own. The education system enforces this by rewarding those subjects who wilingly and unquestioningly take information in and eagerly spew it back word for word. They are rewarded for this by advancement and elevated eligibility in the job market sector that pays a higher rate. Not too high that they can save money toward financial independence which may lead to intellectual and spiritual development, but just high enough that they’re dependent on the system but have the illusion of freedom.

      Thanks for the article. Cats are always catching colds and “cat flu” but humans cannot catch the same virus from them. Why were the other members of the household free of the virus if it is so virulent, according to the MSM?

      Quote from conclusion of Brian Dunning article. Rates of vaccination have not been increasing, so why the reported skyrocketing rates of autism diagnoses? An increasingly broad array of conditions being called autism is part of the reason. Autism is not necessarily a single, well-defined disorder. There are five main Autism Spectrum Disorders, including but not limited to Asperger syndrome, Rett syndrome, various childhood disintegrative disorders, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, or PDD-NOS. As more of these are broadly called “autism”, obviously the rates of autism rise substantially. Between 1987 and 1998, the number of patients classified as autistic rose 273 percent.

      If thimerosal were a cause of autism, then wouldn’t its removal from vaccines curb the rising rates of diagnosis? Well, obviously, yes it would. But it didn’t. The FDA removed thimerosal from childhood vaccines in the US in 1997, as a precautionary measure, partly in response to all the anti-vaccine activism. Autism diagnoses continued to rise unabated. Denmark and Sweden eliminated thimerosal five years earlier. Their rates also continued to climb.

      Let’s repeat that, since apparently it’s not clear to Kennedy and the other activists still warning against vaccination. Ethylmercury-containing thimerosal was removed from childhood vaccines in 1997. Vaccination will not result in mercury poisoning.

      Vaccinations save more lives worldwide than any other medical advance in history. Thanks to vaccination, children around the world are now safe from hepatitis A and B, polio, smallpox, measles, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, rotavirus, mumps, typhoid, and many more. Giving up all of these immunities, due only to an unfounded fear of a compound that’s no longer used and was demonstrated safe in every rigorous study ever done, is hardly the best way to serve your child. Exposing an already-vaccinated child to the dangers of chelation in a misguided effort to remove undetected poisons is just as bad. Vaccinate your children. Don’t put them or yourself through the risks of chelation therapy, unless of course your job at Three-Mile Island was to drink all the leaked cooling water.

      Proponents of the alleged link between vaccines and autism charge that vaccines contain mercury, which in large enough doses, kills cells and causes neurological damage. What some vaccines contain is actually not plain mercury, but the preservative thimerosal. Thimerosal’s main active ingredient is an organic version of mercury called ethylmercury. Ethylmercury is naturally expelled from the body quickly. Methylmercury, on the other hand, is not. It stays in the body. High doses of methylmercury will cause physiological damage. However, ethylmercury and methylmercury are not the same thing, despite the similar names. Methylmercury is not present in thimerosal. In short, vaccines preserved with thimerosal do not even contain the type of mercury that activists say is dangerous. And even if they did, the amount would be too small to be considered a risk.

      Now with a confirmed(?) case of H1N1 in a pet cat, they are urging parents to get their kids vaccinated for the sake of a household pet! Swine flu jabs are being offered for free this week to school-age kids, on a first come first serve basis, where I live. I took my dog outside for a walk this morning, and saw very thick chemtrails overhead, some directly over the area where the vaccine is being administered. Coincidence, I think not.

    8. Buyers Beware Says:

      The H1N1 vaccine contains nanotechnology. Magnetic particles that can effect your heart rhythm, muscle contractions and could possibly act as a Doppler Radar type tracking device.

      Could this aduvant provide the world elite a shut off button for those they consider socailly undesirable or unworthy of life? Could this explain their push for universal vaccinations?

      one of the few stories in the mainstream news media (the BBC) about the nightmare that is unfolding in the Ukraine – right out of a Hollywood horror movie about biowar – however, there are several inaccurate bits of information in this article. The number of very sick people is now 500,000 or so, not the 255,000 quoted in the article. Of course, the number did just about double in 48 hours from 255,000 to almost 500,000. We do not know if this is Swine Flu. It may be a recombination of some Swine Flu (A/H1N1) genetic material and one or more other viruses. Or it may be something totally new. And we are apt to be at the mercy of the public health authorities for some time as to taking their word, when it eventually comes out, on the genetic makeup of whatever is causing the hyper-epidemic in the Ukraine. We know that, several months ago, we were lied to extensively in the early days about the spread and origin of the Mexican Swine Flu virus. In any case, while overall death rates are reported as low, there are serious non-official reports that thousands are dead/dying. We know that, whatever this event/illness is, it only began on about October 25, less than a week ago. We know that the number of officially reported illnesses was 255,000 two days ago and doubled to 500,000 in 48 hours! We know that the illness has already escaped the Ukraine and is now beginning its global spread. We know from medical/military studies of Advanced Biological Warfare war-games, that it is highly likely that we will not make it to Christmas without a medical emergency of Biblical scope. In fact, it is more likely that all hell will break out before the American holiday of Thanksgiving (November 26th). We know from ARI type cases, that in 5% to 10% of the cases, the patients do not survive. This is the range that we seem to be getting from separate, relivable, but officially unconfirmed reports of Ukrainian deaths. This, projected to only 4 billion infected (out of approximately 6 billion people) of the Earth current population (Swine Flu “Vaccines” are being manufactured for 4.8 billion people as you read this) would result in 200,000,000 to 400,000,000 human beings dying before next Spring.
