Well, since Wimpus Americanus cannot ride out the flu, the FDA, in an emergency ruling, approved an unapproved drug (antiviral drug peramivir) for use in “some cases.” Hospitals in the U.S., where hundreds of swine flu patients are being admitted daily, may use BioCryst Pharmaceutical Inc.’s antiviral drug peramivir in some cases under a Food and Drug Administration emergency [...]

Here’s an article in Wired – a very long article – by an Amy Wallace, titled “Epidemic of Fear: How Panicked Parents Skipping Shots Endanger Us All.” Her theme is just the same old rehash: people who educate themselves on the vaccination issue and balance the perceived benefits with the potential risks, and then come [...]

In a previous blog, I mentioned a couple of points about Merck’s Gardasil and GlaxoSmithKline’s Cervarix, with both companies competing for guinea pigs to increase their customer base for HPV vaccines. First, GlaxoSmithKline had applied to the FDA for approval to sell its HPV vaccine, Cervarix, in the United States. Second, Merck had applied to [...]

I popped on ClickonDetroit, the website for the local Channel 4, and the “question of the day” was, “How would you feel if you were forced to get an H1N1 flu vaccine?” (Of course, the appropriate terminology is “How would you react” …. not “feel.”) With 1550 votes captured (when I popped on the survey), [...]

The Pharmaceutical Daily never disappoints. Today’s cover story is about GlaxoSmithKline putting all its bets on the flu – seasonal, bird, swine, whatever. Thanks to the US government – and other governments – transferring billions of taxpayer dollars to Big Pharma’s war chest, pharmaceutical giants like Glaxo have the financial means to gobble up smaller [...]

After the death of Natalie Morton, Big Pharma’s overpriced nectar ruins another young life. Stacy Jones started having seizures after her Cervarix injection. Swelling in the brain has been determined to be the cause of the seizures. After brain damage, she is now in a rehab center relearning life’s tasks. Here’s an important excerpt from [...]

Considering the content of the WSJ on a daily basis, I think I should start referring to it as Pharmaceutical Daily.

A precious, innocent child’s life came to a cruel, sudden end. The Wall Street Journal reports that Natalie Morton, who died in England shortly following a Cervarix injection, did not die from the vaccination.The WSJ, in fact, almost appears to be swaggering behind its words. So you see, says the WSJ, no need to fear [...]

One of my new heroes is Dr. Russell Blaylock, a retired neurologist who spends his time using scientific method and his world of practical knowledge to combat the lies about the swine flu and vaccinations. A 4-part interview conducted by Dr. Mercola, though 40 minutes long, contains some very important information for laymen who are [...]

Here’s a pretty good send-up of the pharmaceutical ads that run in your face daily on television. It’s an ad paid for by the RNC, but it’s a pretty good attempt in the battle of health care reform commercials.      On the other hand, here’s a horrible, chintzy ad paid for by Big Pharma [...]
