CA radio station censored vaccine information before mandatory vaccination vote

(NaturalNews) A radio program featuring a popular radio host, documentarian and alternative health expert was censored by its network after featuring an interview that presented information and arguments against vaccinations.

As reported by The Daily Sheeple, the expert, Gary Null, who has the longest-running health talk show airing on the Progressive Radio Network, was asked to appear recently as a guest on Bonnie Faulkner's program, Guns and Butter, which "investigates the relationships among capitalism, militarism and politics," according to the show's web site. Her program airs on Pacifica KPFA public radio stations.

In the spirit of legitimate debate, Faulkner asked Null to provide the other side of the vaccine debate - not the "case closed" version, but rather the "what you're not being told about vaccines" side. Null was asked specifically to discuss SB277, the California legislation that would mandate vaccines for virtually all school-aged children in the state, except for homeschooled kids, who represent a tiny minority.

As noted by The Daily Sheeple:

When it came time to air, however, they were told they weren't allowed – or rather, they were outright censored and the show was cut – the first time for Guns and Butter in over 11 years.

No real courage to tell the truth

However, Faulkner refused to take that censorship lying down. She decided to do a "reverse interview" by appearing on Null's program just to get the information out.

KPFA's mission statement is quite interesting:

Over the years we've advanced the discussions and told the truth about historical moments of political impasse, racial tensions and economic inequality.

So much for the courage to tell the "truth."

To make matters worse, KPFA program director Laura Prives publicly declared reasons for pulling the program showed more ignorance -- if not outright intolerance -- for a politically incorrect position on vaccines:

KPFA has a serious responsibility to provide its listeners with accurate, science-based information on public health, most especially on issues that could potentially cause harm to people. Whether or not to invite Gary Null on the KPFA airwaves is not an issue of censorship. It is, however, about protecting the public airwaves from mis-information and from people who stand to profit by offering dubious remedies to sick and vulnerable listeners.

KPFA has covered and will continue to cover the many issues around vaccines and immunization using the best practices of independent and verifiable journalism.

Come debate me

For his part, Null, in a lengthy rebuttal, noted that Prives' position is dramatically at odds with that of the station's founder.

"Lewis Hill [founder] would have been appalled at the blatant censorship imposed upon Bonnie Faulkner and myself, especially in light of the California senate's recent passage of a bill that destroys Californians' freedom of health choices for their children," Null said, stating that his appearance on Faulkner's program would have come before senators in Sacramento considered SB277. "Had I been allowed the opportunity to present the independent science opposing Big Pharma's spurious claims for vaccine efficacy and safety, there might have been enough support from KPFA listeners to have delayed or thwarted the bill's sponsors from passing it."

Null also discussed his credentials; over the past four decades, he noted that he had published some 600 articles on science, medicine and the environment. He has penned more than 300 investigative reports, dozens of which became cover stories for national magazines.

"I have won numerous awards for investigative reporting, journalism and radio broadcasting on these matters," he added.

Null also issued this challenge:

Since you have already had the chance to express your contempt for me through your libelous public statements, I now invite you to substantiate those statements -- to transform them from mere unfounded assertions into solid verified fact -- by coming on my program to debate me.

Thus far, Prives has been a no-show.
