In this thread, we'll see how a careful study of the Apollo narrative with respect to the Ken Mattingly/Charles Duke rubella problem incontrovertibly proves Apollo Inauthenticity.

Consider the following photo of Apollo Fraud Arch Perpetrator Charles Berry, M.D. .






Berry is seen here at a press conference not too long before the planned launch of Apollo 13. The good doctor is holding up a DISEASE A MONTH pamphlet/monograph titled, THE RUBELLA PROBLEM. The text along the left hand border there reads;

"(CB-4) CAPE KENNEDY , FLA., APRIL 8-APOLLO 13 HAS A PROBLEM TOO Dr. Charles Berry, personal physician to the Apollo 13 astronauts, holds up a copy of a pamphlet on the rubella problem-German measles-as he told a news conference at Cape Kennedy, Fla. , tonight that a "hard decision" would be made Friday on whether Astronaut Thomas Mattingly II would not fly the mission. Mattingly has been exposed to German measles and unless another astronaut could take his place, Saturday's launch would be delayed. (APWirephoto)(seeAP wire story)(wfa 4 2100 stf was) 1970"


Apollo 13 was launched Saturday April 11. Charles Duke, T. K. Mattingly's backup, allegedly had come down with a rubella rash the weekend before the launch, the weekend of April 4th.

According to Berry,

"The day before Duke exhibited the rubella rash, a prime crewman(Mattingly) had worked with him in the Command Module Trainer. "

(From Charles Berry's, "Perspectives on Apollo", Biomedical Results of Apollo Section VII, Chapter 2.)

Those familiar with this confused NASA cock and bull story may be aware that Charles Duke provided his own and somewhat different version from that of Berry for the JSC Oral History Project. Duke said;

"And so I’m in—and I’m down there(Florida) training in all this time, and then, so I break outwith the measles down there and, of course, go to the doctor because I’m pretty sick. And they get all excited, of course. (I forgot who the flight surgeon was down there.) But anyway, he gets all excited and starts testing everybody, you know, a couple of weeks before the flight. And maybe it was 10 days before."

This heiny jive tale about rubella infection and exposure unravels in a million different ways, but for openers, let's take a gander at T.K. Mattingly's account of this from the JSC Oral History Project. We'll see how Mattingly's story doesn't jibe with that of Berry and Duke, and so the internal incoherency of the Apollo narrative in this regard proves once again Apollo Inauthenticity. Mattingly says;

"Somewhere in there—I don’t remember all the details—we found out that a family that had gone to a picnic with Charlie and his family over the weekend, one of their kids had the measles, and Charlie was considered exposed. So they said, “It’s just a precaution, but it’s no big deal, because we can determine your susceptibility, and so we’ll just take some blood and then just kind of watch it.” We were sufficiently quarantined. There weren’t a lot of people around us, but it’s not isolation."


Again, the serious student of the Apollo fraud is encouraged to read through and enjoy Mattingly's entire account of this.

Note first of all the minor, though not trivial, timing discrepancy between Berry's account and Duke's. Then more significantly, more importantly , and for Mattingly, Berry and Duke, damningly, there is this huge discrepancy where Berry and Duke report Duke's problem as full fledged rubella, and Mattingly on the other hand, as per the quote above, reports Duke was only exposed, at risk, not sick. According to Berry and Duke himself, the backup crewman had contracted the virus and then become ill in consequence. HE HAD A BIG FAT RASH TO PROVE IT. However, per Mattingly's account, Duke was only considered "exposed".

Of course this is not an innocent mistake. It is fraud writ big 'cross the expanse of cislunar space-time. Mattingly has his stories confused. It is he who was supposed to have been "exposed" NOT DUKE, DUKE WAS INFECTED AND SICK , and of course it's sort of understandable with Mattingly not being a medical person himself, not being able to keep his bogus facts straight with respect to this complex LIE. It is hard for Mattingly to remember the LIE "right". And it is a LIE. There is no way Mattingly could possibly have confused encountering Duke on April 3/4, who a day later, April 4/5, develops a rash and is ordered to stay home because he, Duke, indeed has rubella with Mattingly being told Duke was simply and innocently exposed to rubella and nothing more to it. Complicated lie, complicated lie , complicated lie.



It is a complicated LIE, one Mattingly understandably cannot keep straight, cannot remember, confusing his own status in the LIE, "exposure" only, with Duke's condition, bona fide sick. And the fact that in the real world Duke never really was sick, never really had a rash that Mattingly or anyone saw for that matter (ever see a pic of Duke with the rash?), makes it more than understandable that Mattingly botched this, forgot his difficult lines.


Here's a photo of Mattingly at the MOCR during the real-time of the Apollo 13 drama.




Of course we now know the whole thing is super fake given the little Mattingly gaffe there, and I'll introduce some other aspects of this rubella scam that will help the uninitiated get the point, Apollo is fraudulent, but before signing off just yet, consider this; if Berry really thinks Mattingly may have been exposed to rubella April 3/4, what's Mattingly doing running around the MOCR in that pic just above "helping out" sometime during the bogus real time of the Apollo 13 drama?

Roughly 20% of Americans were rubella seronegative in 1970 and so susceptible to infection. Mattingly, were he really exposed as NASA tells the story, would be considered potentially infectious at the very time of that photo above. He need not be symptomatic to be infected. He could be passing virus like crazy and not have the faintest notion he is a virus carrier himself. THINK OF AIDS.

Now Mattingly under said circumstances, were any of this real, would not be a threat to other male NASA workers in any meaningful sense, but being out and about, he could pass the virus to a female coworker, or more likely, given the makeup of the NASA staff in those days, a male coworker who could/might then pass the virus along to his wife. Now if she is in her first trimester of pregnancy, or if she is going to conceive a child within the next month, her risk of giving birth to a blind/deaf/heart damaged child is 40%-50% owing to CONGENITAL RUBELLA SYNDROME.

Were the Apollo 13 drama real, a genuine physician would have instructed Mattingly to think about the health of the wives of his colleagues and their yet to be born children. Mattingly would have been politely asked to stay home, and he would have.

Once again, a detailed examination of the Apollo narrative proves its inauthenticity.
