Merck Has Some Explaining To Do Over Its MMR Vaccine Claims#android#iPad#retweet

jlvranes Leave a comment

Merck, the pharmaceutical giant, is facing a slew of controversies over its Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine following numerous allegations of wrongdoing from different parties in the medical field, including two former Merck scientists-turned-whistleblowers. A third whistleblower, this one a scientist at the Centers for Disease Control, also promises to bring Merck grief following his confession of misconduct involving the same MMR vaccine.

The controversies will find Merck defending itself and its vaccine in at least two federal court cases after a U.S. District judge earlier this month threw out Merck’s attempts at dismissal. Merck now faces federal charges of fraud from the whistleblowers, a vaccine competitor and doctors in New Jersey and New York. Merck could also need to defend itself in Congress: The staff of representative Bill Posey (R-Fla) — a longstanding critic of the CDC interested in an alleged link between vaccines and autism — is now reviewing some 1,000 documents that the CDC whistleblower turned over to them.

The first court case, United States v. Merck & Co., stems from claims by two former Merck scientists that Merck “fraudulently misled the government and omitted, concealed, and adulterated material information regarding the efficacy of its mumps vaccine in violation of the FCA [False Claims Act].”

According to the whistleblowers’ court documents, Merck’s misconduct was far-ranging…

Big Pharma has corrupted your healthcare#mustread#Android#iPad

Medical researchers at Dartmouth have issued a dire warning about your doctor and the drugs he dishes out: They’re part of a system designed for profit not for improving your health.

Researchers at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice have issued a report that puts the spotlight on significant ways that international pharmaceutical corporations have bought off doctors and slanted research to favor their bottom lines. The researchers say that the entire health care system, as a result, has been distorted by “obvious corruption.”

As the scientists note, when it comes to research: “finance dictates the activity.” In other words money talks and studies on how drugs work are designed to prove their effectiveness even if the pharmaceuticals are basically worthless…

British Court Throws Out Conviction of Autism/Vaccine MD: Andrew Wakefield’s Co-Author Completely Exonerated#Family#Android#iPad

In a stunning reversal, world renowned pediatric gastroenterologist Prof. John Walker-Smith won his appeal against the United Kingdom’s General Medical Council regulatory board that had ruled against both him and Andrew Wakefield for their roles in the 1998 Lancet MMR paper, which raised questions about a link to autism. The complete victory means that Walker-Smith has been returned to the status of a fully licensed physician in the UK, although he had already retired in 2001 — six years before the GMC trial even began.

Justice John Mitting ruled on the appeal by Walker-Smith, saying that the GMC “panel’s determination cannot stand. I therefore quash it.” He said that its conclusions were based on “inadequate and superficial reasoning and, in a number of instances, a wrong conclusion.” The verdict restores…

Big Pharma’s Corporate Crimes and Fines: How Can They Get Away With It?#Family#Android#iPad

by Catherine J. Frompovich

For all those who, in euphemistic terms, “drink the cool aide,” there seems to be an indication that either they truly believe what’s perpetrated upon them as pharmaceutical medical science or they are downright lost in fear and ignorance. That assessment includes brainwashed medical doctors and healthcare practitioners, who ought to know better, and “cease and desist” from taking Big Pharma’s gratuities to push, hawk, or pimp Pharma’s products – or else be subject to peer pressure and professional condemnation.

Big Pharma, as an industry, probably is one of the most sinister of criminals! That’s quite a statement to make, but legal documents prove it. In 2012, the Nordic Cochrane Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark, issued and published the paper “Corporate crime in the pharmaceutical industry is common, serious and repetitive,” which was published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ 2012;345:e8462—short version).

That paper was authored by Peter C. Gotzsche, Professor, MD, DrMedSc, MSc.

Professor Gotzsche researched to see if drug companies routinely break the law. Here’s what he found:

What’s in Your Mouth?#Braces#iBelieve#Health

What’s in Your Mouth?

Most chronic diseases including autoimmune diseases are rooted in inflammation, so I’m always looking for the sources of that inflammation when I treat my patients. I’ve found that inflammation is often caused by five major environmental factors: our diets, a leaky gut, stress, toxins, and infections.

I was inspired to write my upcoming book The Autoimmune Solution to help others get to the root of their own health problems by examining and eliminating each of these risk factors.Changing the diet and healing the gut are big first steps, but the gut isn’t the only place where persistent infections and toxins such as heavy metals can easily enter the bloodstream. There’s another major point of potential exposure: the mouth.

We tend to see human anatomy in terms of separate systems, with dental health as somehow distinct from the rest of the body. The truth is, there is no wall separating your mouth from the rest of you–infections and toxins in the mouth affect your health as a whole! So, what’s in your mouth?…

CDC: “Possibility” that vaccines rarely trigger autism (AUDIO)#ASD#Family#HearThisWell

...that's right, an infant can safely receive 10,000. vaccines all at once. Well, this is my floor. Got to get to my Rotateq (vaccine) board meeting. Looks like 2014 year-end bonuses will hit a new record!
…that’s right, an infant can safely receive 10,000. vaccines all at once. Well, this is my floor. Got to get to my Rotateq (vaccine) board meeting.  Need to prep for my upcoming MSNBC  interview as one of the nation’s top vaccine experts.

 CDC’s immunization safety director says it’s a “possibility” that vaccines rarely trigger autism but “it’s hard to predict who those children might be.” (They’re not even trying.)

A CDC senior epidemiologist stepped forward last week to say that he and his CDC colleagues omitted data that linked MMR vaccine to autism in a 2004 study. The scientist, William Thompson, said “I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information.”

Dr. Frank DeStefano, CDC Director of Immunization Safety

A coauthor of the questioned study is Dr. Frank DeStefano, Director of the CDC Immunization Safety Office. In a telephone interview last week, DeStefano defended the study and reiterated the commonly accepted position that there’s no “causal” link between vaccines and autism.

But he acknowledged the prospect that vaccines might rarely trigger autism…

Congressman Blasts CDC for Incestuous Relationship with Vaccine Makers#Family#iBelieve#HearThisWell

Christof Lehmann (nsnbc) : US Congressman Bill Posey demanded, during a half-hour radio interview, transparency about the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and its handling of vaccine safety studies, stressing that the incestuous relationship between the CDC and vaccine makers affects the nations most precious resource, which are children.

…he criticized current and past officials, including Dr. Poul Thorsen, about the former CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding who moved on to become pharma giant Merck’s Vaccine President, as well as the CDC’s current spokesperson on autism and vaccines, Dr. Coleen Boyle. Congressman Posey didn’t stop short of branding former CDC Director Thorsen “a crook”, saying…

 Posey also addressed the issue of orchestrated campaigns on behalf of the CDC and the vaccine industry, noting that people “do a lot of blogging and (are) shredding anyone who dares question the unaccountable bureaucrats”.

nsnbc noted a clear attempt to derail genuine dialog in comments to articles pertaining vaccine safety issues. Within a 12 months period from February 2013 to March 2014, nsnbc registered more than 30 different “commentators with different names, who together attempted to post more than 500 comments, posted from only two different IP addresses…leading directly to a pharma sponsored pro-vaccine website…

FDA Attacks Man for Selling Supplement that has Healed Tens of Thousands – Facing 37 Years in Prison#iBelieve#Family#iPad

Here we go again.  The next instance of F.D.A. harassment and control.  Any step necessary to suppress pharmaceutical drug competition.  Just as blatant as it sounds.  

Let’s do whatever possible to look out for our brother, Daniel and his family.

by Brian Shilhavy

For almost 5 years, the FDA has been attacking Daniel Smith of Spokane Washington for selling a mineral supplement that purifies water and has been used in places like Africa by the Red Cross to prevent Malaria. The product is called MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution), and the active ingredient is sodium chlorite, a common mineral that is even used in some municipalities in the U.S. to purify water instead of chlorine.

Daniel Smith will face a trial in less than 30 days, the culmination of close to 5 years of legal battles, that could result in him spending 37 years in prison if convicted.

Why?

Because the FDA has not approved his product for health claims.

Has the product killed anyone? No.

Do FDA approved products kill anyone? Yes.

According to statistics published by medical authorities themselves, FDA prescription drugs are one of the top causes of death in the United States, and probably the #1 cause of death among Americans today.

An older study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998 stated that 106,000 people died from prescription drugs every year, and the CDC has previously stated that overdoses of FDA-approved prescription opioid pain relievers now exceed deaths involving heroin and cocaine combined.

By contrast, a Government Accounting Office (GAO) report in 2013 found ZERO deaths due to dietary supplements.
