“By 1853, Parliament began passing laws to make the untested vaccine compulsory throughout the British Empire. Other countries of Europe followed suit. Once the economic implications of compulsory vaccinations were realized, few dared to
disagree. Then, as now, the media were controlled by the vaccine manufacturers and the government, who stood to make huge money from the sale of these spurious vaccines.”… Tim O’Shea, D.C.

rom approximately November 2001, through April 2005, HOLLOWAY was employed as a Regional Manager at a pharmaceutical company and was responsible for sales in her region of the drug Bextra. Bextra was a Cox-II inhibitor and had been approved in by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2001 for the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, adult rheumatoid arthritis, at 10 mgs and primary dysmennorhea at 20 mgs, twice a day as needed. In 2001, the FDA specifically denied the request of the pharmaceutical company to approve it for acute pain, including the pain of surgery. The FDA told the pharmaceutical company that it could not approve it for these other indications because the safety in these other uses had not been established. Specifically, the FDA was concerned about the results of a study in which there was an excess of cardiovascular events in patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery and used Bextra.
“We are committed to aggressively pursuing those who attempt to take advantage of a public health emergency by promoting and marketing unapproved, uncleared, or unauthorized products,” said Margaret A.

The Institute of Medicine has issued a “scolding,” “stinging,” and “damning” report about financial conflicts of interest in American medicine involving pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology companies. If enacted, the IOM recommendations will essentially sever the financial ties that bind American medicine–its practitioners, researchers, academic institutions, journals, professional association and so-called “advocacy groups” from industries that have derailed American medicine from its humanitarian public mission.
How Much Input to The Administration and Congress’ Health Reform Plan Will Big Pharma’s $80B Pledge to Health Reform Buy?
When I heard about Big Pharma’s $80BILLION pledge, that was the first question that came to mind. Apparently wanting to give the Health Care Reform a boost, Drugmakers have agreed to foot the bill for $80 billion in Medicare drugs over the next decade. Some portion of that will benefit Medicare recipients, who, as you know, are on the hook for several thousand dollars’ worth of meds annually during the “donut hole” coverage gap. Some other portion will lower the cost of health reform, probably via bigger rebates to Medicare.
Thompson says there’s “ongoing discussions” at WHO about other potential names. Ideas abound: Some have suggested talking about the “North American flu” in an effort to continue the geographic tradition without singling out any country.
