On February 9, 2017, Michèle Rivasi participated in a public meeting in which Dr. Andrew Wakefield spoke(12).
I was there.
I remember it very well.
The meeting was to take place at the European Parliament. But Ms Rivasi’s own party – Europe-Ecologie Les Verts – asked her not to accept this meeting.
The meeting took place but outside the European Parliament.
We had to go to a private room, an independent cinema. That evening, democracy was relocated(13).
Despite everything, Michèle Rivasi held on.
And it was all the more admirable since she didn’t have a strong opinion on the matter, she didn’t know Andrew Wakefield and the controversy he had sparked.
She just wanted to understand what was happening.
I remember that evening she questioned him bluntly.
Anyone who has followed this affair closely knows that the media have completely transformed the reality in the Wakefield affair(14,15).
This doctor, surgeon and gastroenterologist, had conducted a study on 12 autistic patients.
He realized that these patients, following having had an MMR vaccine, had seen their condition worsen.
He hypothesized that the vaccine was at fault and suggested that instead of administering MMR, patients should be offered monovalents.
The dean of his university, Professor John Walker Smith, supported him.
Andrew Wakefield was accused by a journalist of having distorted his study(14,15).
He was sued and so was the dean of the university. They were accused of “professional misconduct”.
The young doctor who participated in the study with them was not prosecuted(14).
They lost at first instance.
Andrew Wakefield, a fatalist, refused to appeal. However, the dean appealed.
And Professor John Walker Smith won his appeal.
Justice, in this story, indirectly proved Andrew Wakefield right.
But the media court ruled him wrong.
The study has not been withdrawn. The study data is still considered valid.
However, the interpretation made by the authors was withdrawn.
The accusations of conflicts of interest made by the media once morest Andrew Wakefield have never been proven or investigated by the courts.
Unfortunately, in many people’s minds, the media version won out.
Once once more Michèle Rivasi was one of the only political leaders to understand that the truth was perhaps not what the media, financed by private interests, presented.
Here once more, we must salute the courage and foresight of Michèle Rivasi.
How many MEPs revealed to the general public that the contracts that the Commission had signed with pharmaceutical laboratories regarding covid 19 vaccines were secret(16) ?
When MEPs, elected by the citizens of the European Union, asked to be shown the contracts signed by the European Commission and the manufacturers, they were initially refused(16).
And when they insisted, they were given copies in which important information such as prices and quantities were crossed out in black.(16).
MEPs had to consult these truncated documents in a special room for just one hour and without the help of lawyers!
The European Commission should have collectively resigned the day these revelations were made(16).
This did not happen, the executives continued to support the unelected President of the European Commission: Mrs Ursula Von der Leyen.
This latest fight by Michèle Rivasi went well beyond the vaccination question or health issues.
It was a fight for democracy.
Michèle Rivasi fought for citizens, for people, once morest what she called “the lobbies”.
Having learned from the start of her associative and political commitment, thanks to the Chernobyl scandal, that media and political words might be lies, she has always fought for science and facts to triumph.
She knew that in politics, the dice were often loaded.
Despite this, she never fell into cynicism.
She kept her ideals until the end.
She knew the world might be very dark but she always believed that we might bring light to it.
For her, this began in particular with the search for the truth in all circumstances.
I don’t know of a better ideal.
Thank you Michèle Rivasi.
Naturally yours,
Augustine of Livois
