(NaturalNews) After speaking out against what he says is a "cesspool of corruption" at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), health freedom advocate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has now come forward with even more information about how media corruption, even at some "alternative" news outlets, has resulted in widespread censorship of any honest talk about vaccine safety.

Speaking to Age of Autism's Anne Dachel during a recent interview, Kennedy explained how the pharmaceutical industry spends billions of dollars every year in media advertising, which effectively controls the conversation about vaccines as presented to the general public. News presented on television and in print is tainted by these advertising dollars, as networks are forced to either conform to the status quo or face major revenue losses.

"A network news division president told me two weeks ago he would fire a newscaster or program host whose reporting or programming choice lost his station an advertising pharmaceutical company," stated Kennedy, noting that pharmaceutical media advertising is a massive industry that, by its very existence, keeps truthful talk about drugs and vaccines in the news to a minimum -- if it is even talked about at all.

"Journalists are reporting what the government tells them to think instead of doing basic reportorial investigation. The gatekeepers enforce this orthodoxy by avoiding science and facts and instead focus on vilifying and crucifying the heretics."

Alternative media often ignores vaccine issue because it, too, has been corrupted by Big Pharma influence

This interview took place not long after Kennedy gave a 45-minute talk about vaccine safety at a recent screening of the documentary film Trace Amounts in California. After finishing his talk, members of the press began asking him questions, mostly concerning the issue of vaccine exemptions and so-called "herd immunity" -- but not one of them asked anything about his allegations of systemic fraud within the CDC.

"In 2005, Dan Shulman wrote a scathing and somewhat bewildered critique of the airtight censorship among media organs of any debate over vaccine safety or CDC corruption," explained Kennedy. "He said that many reporters considered covering this issue to be a potentially 'career ending' hazard.'"

"Today, that censorship extends not just to the mainstream media but also to the so-called 'alternate media' like Salon, Slate, Huff Post and Mother Jones. There is simply no national forum for this debate. We have been forced from the public square."

Those who develop, approve, market and regulate vaccines all, in essence, work for vaccine manufacturers

Because the pharmaceutical industry is a protected trillion-dollar racket, those in charge of it are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that the truth about drugs and their vaccine violence remains hidden from public scrutiny. From their creation to their approval to their marketing and sale, vaccines especially are shielded from critical observation.

"Ninety-seven percent of the people who sit on those [vaccine] committees have these same conflicts [of interest] that Paul Offit had. ... And Paul Offit has said that he believes that children can get as many as 10,000 vaccines safely," warned Kennedy.

"The political leaders have been subverted in many ways through vaccine money. The vaccine industry is the number one lobbying industry in this country. It contributes $2.6 billion a year in lobbying -- twice what oil and gas spends. ... It gives $31 million a year to federal political candidates. ... The regulatory agency has been undermined. The CDC today, because of these financial conflicts, is a sock puppet for the industry it's supposed to regulate."
