Posted December 25, 2003: ►December 24, 2003 - Technique Lifts Hopes for Surviving Type of Cancer - Reuters - "Receiving two transplants instead of one can double the chances of surviving multiple myeloma, a hard-to-treat cancer that originates in the blood and affects the bones, French researchers said Wednesday."►December 24, 2003 - No Place for an Experiment - LA Times Editorial - "Soldiers have a special obligation to stay fit and ready to defend their nation. Even so, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan was right to recognize that military fitness does not extend to a requirement that all soldiers get controversial anthrax vaccinations."►December 25, 2003 - Invalid Vaccine Doses Would Cost Millions To Fix - Center For The Advancement Of Health via ScienceDaily - "Children who receive some of their vaccine doses too soon may need to be revaccinated, at an extra cost of $10 to $18 million a year, according to a new study." Comment: What does this all mean? Among the questions that need to be asked are the following: 1) If so many vaccines have been given incorrectly, does that mean they are not responsible for declines in disease incidence attributed to their use? 2) If the declines occurred in spite of these incorrectly administered vaccines, does that mean far fewer are required for "herd immunity"? 3) If the declines occurred in spite of these incorrectly administered vaccines, does that mean they are unnecessary? ►December 25, 2003 - Caring For Carter: Mellanby family learns to cope with son's autism - St. Louis Post-Dispatch - "All day long 7-year-old Carter is a verb. He climbs. Bounces. Swings. Tugs. Runs. Swims. Wanders. Climbs some more. Fidgets. Rolls. Hugs. Pulls. Climbs even more. The umbrella verb for Carter's perpetual motion is 'stimming' - or self-stimulation, uninterrupted movement common among children such as Carter who have the neurological disorder autism and need, as one child told his parent, the active repetition to 'organize his brain.'...But at night, Carter rests. He stops being a verb and becomes adjectives. Peaceful. Calm. Tranquil."►December 21, 2003 - Eyeless children championed by Observer win $7m test case - Ten years ago, we revealed the possible link between a fungicide and a tragic birth defect. Now a US court has found a chemical giant guilty - The Guardian, UK ►December 25, 2003 - Safety Advice for Eating Meat (requires registration or subscription) - The New York Times ►December 25, 2003 - Expert Warned That Mad Cow Was Imminent (requires registration or subscription) - The New York Times

 "A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C. Jarvis, September 28, 1820 "What's the point of vaccination if it doesn't protect you from the unvaccinated?" -- Sandy Gottstein "Who gets to decide what the greater good is and how many will be sacrificed to it?" -- Sandy Gottstein |
