* ►May 2, 2010 - Flu reaction reports in the media only the tip of the iceberg? - No Compulsory Vaccination Blog - "Hi Meryl, I was speaking to a nurse who works at PMH in Perth and she told me that the numbers of children admitted to ICU after vaccination is up to 25 per day and that the situation is being severely downplayed to the public. They are vaccinating for 3 viruses at once and some GPs have given the MMR at the same time! ... Hi Meryl  I spoke to one of our son’s friends who visited the grieving parents today. The boy, 19 years old,  received the flu vaccine on Monday (this week), was admitted to hospital Wednesday night with pneumonia and died last night. He was symptomless and well on Monday."

The GMC behaved as badly yesterday as they have for the past 9 years but no-one would quite believe me! Their actions were disproportionate and inconsistent.  For example Dr Jane Barton, who murdered 12 patients (and probably many more) faced a GMC hearing on January 29th 2010. She retained her full rights as a doctor except she was not allowed to prescribe morphine. I have lost my rights to prescribe any prescription medication listed in British National Formulary."

Rather, it is due mainly to parents learning about autism from other parents who have a child diagnosed with the disorder."

Years before the Salk vaccine was field-tested and licensed, University of Pittsburgh researcher Dr. William McD. Hammon believed that gamma globulin, an antibody-rich fraction of human blood, would be a potent means to end polio's legacy of physical disability or death. ... Since the Houston and Harris County epidemic proved extraordinarily severe, Hammon selected the region along with three other locales as test sites for gamma globulin. With the cooperation of families and a $250,000 grant from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (March of Dimes), Hammon enrolled 35,000 children between the ages of 1 and 6 for inoculations. During the July test, half the participants received globulin while the other half received a control substance."

What if symptoms were gifts rather than curses? What if the messages they were sending actually contained important information about your health? That’s exactly what you’re about to learn here (if you don’t already know this, that is): Symptoms are messengers… cries for help from your body. And learning how to listen to those messages rather than suppressing them may be the key to unlocking your greatest health potential."

'As I started to get national recognition, some of the larger food allergy non-profits sort of had an allergic reaction to me,' Robyn recounted. 'I thought that perhaps I wasn’t conveying the mission right; that they just needed to understand that I was trying to support, fund and advance their research. But they got pretty aggressive in their dismissiveness of me, and one of them actually ended up sending me a cease-and-desist letter."

The three Rochester pediatric researchers—the late David Smith, M.D. (M'58), Richard Insel, M.D., and Anderson—were among the first to develop and test a conjugate vaccine, a method to make a vaccine more effective by linking it to a protein that incites a more powerful immune system response to fight an infection."

(Nice revolving door if you can catch it.)"

* ►April 30, 2010 - Dana Ullman: Lies, Damn Lies and Medical Research - The Huffington Post - "The bottom line to scientific research is that a scientist can set up a study that shows the guise of efficacy. In other words, a drug may be effective for a very limited period of time and then cause various serious symptoms. For example, a very popular anti-anxiety drug called Xanax was shown to reduce panic attacks during a two-month experiment, but when individuals reduce or stop the medication, panic attacks can increase 300-400 percent (Consumer Reports, 1993). Would many patients take this drug if they knew this fact, and based on what standard can anyone honestly say that this drug is 'effective'?"

* ►April 29, 2010 - Bill Gates discusses global health, electronic privacy - The Philadelphia Inquirer via Bellingham Herald - "Q: There seems to be a robust skepticism toward science among certain quarters in this country, with various factions questioning such things as vaccine safety, climate change and the theory of evolution. Do you think such views are on the rise? Why do they persist?  A: It's tricky because science has gotten complicated and scientists have to describe what they know, their level of agreement, what their disagreements are on complex topics, and it has to be made interesting to the public. ... And the anti-vaccine crowd is able to take even weak allegations and get a lot of visibility and drive a lot of fear. And we went 20 years with this notion of, 'Did vaccines cause autism?' which there never really was any data that suggested that was true, and it took 20 years to make that clear. And still, if you surveyed the public at large, that negative impression is pretty widespread even to this day."
