Can 600 scientists be
wrong? from Union of Concerned Scientists http://www.ucsusa.org/scientific_integrity/
Ever wonder how things are going at work for Dr. David Graham?
Dr. Graham is the associate science director of the FDA's Office of
Drug Safety and for several years now he's been an outspoken critic
of the drug approval process at the FDA.
In 2004, Dr. Graham testified before a Senate committee, naming five
popular drugs that he said should be avoided because of safety
concerns. He added that the FDA was largely ignoring those concerns.
Since then, Dr. Graham has also been an outspoken critic of the
agency's involvement in the Vioxx fiasco.
So I wonder what a normal workday is like for someone who publicly
berates the policies of the top officials in his agency? You've got
to imagine there's plenty of friction there. On the other hand, a
surprising new survey reveals that Dr. Graham is not exactly a lone wolf.
"I have been asked, for non-scientific reasons, to inappropriately
exclude or alter technical information or my conclusions in an FDA
scientific document."
That's a remarkably candid statement, coming from a scientist
employed by the FDA. But that statement wasn't made by a single
scientist; about 180 FDA scientists agreed that they could honestly
make that astonishing claim.
Last month, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) released the
results of a survey sent to nearly 6,000 FDA scientists. About 1,000
replied. Here's a sampling of their responses:
* 20 percent said they had been "asked explicitly by
FDA decision
makers to provide incomplete, inaccurate or misleading information to
the public, regulated industry, media, or elected/senior government
officials."
* 61 percent said, "Department of Health and Human
Services or
FDA political appointees have inappropriately injected themselves
into FDA determinations or actions."
* 60 percent said they were aware of instances "where
commercial
interests have inappropriately induced or attempted to induce the
reversal, withdrawal or modification of FDA determinations or actions."
* 40 percent said they would fear retaliation if they
publicly
expressed "concerns about public health"
When asked if the FDA "routinely provides complete and accurate
information to the public," less than half agreed.
In a press release about the survey, the UCS offered these three
steps to address the deplorable situation revealed by the 1,000
participating scientists.
1) Accountability: FDA leadership must face consequence if they side
with commercial or political interests and not with the American people.
2) Transparency: Scientific research and reviews should be open so
any undue manipulation is immediately apparent.
3) Protection: Safeguards must be put in place for all government
scientists who speak out.
Hard to argue with those measures. But until the day comes when greed
and cronyism can be controlled by bureaucrats with hearts of gold,
you can be sure the current drug approval process will continue,
business as usual.
As the UCS survey implies, the dirty little secrets regarding FDA
operating practices rarely see the light of day. As a result, many
people still believe the agency is dedicated to protecting Americans
from evil vitamins and one or two dangerous drugs. So we need to
spread the word that fear and intimidation are typical elements of
the regular drug approval process.
Science and safety? They come in a distant second, at best.

MSBP - MEDICAL MISOGYNY 2.
An
enormous amount of worldwide interest has been generated by the One Click
publication of The
Consensus Report - Family Law Reform that deals with false allegations of
MSBP/FII. To date and in a contribution to the debate surrounding the Report,
One Click has primarily highlighted the plight of the parents of ME/CFS
labelled children and the constant threat of court proceedings being applied to
these sick kids for forcible removal from their homes. We now turn our
attention to what is done to children suffering from Borreliosis/Lyme Disease.
Most appropriately, both the One Click co directors announced
in February that their ME/CFS labelled children have now tested positive for
Borreliosis/Lyme Disease, subsequent to a battery of medical tests. Today, we
republish the seminal Virginia Sherr paper entitled ‘Munchausen’s syndrome by
proxy and Lyme disease: Medical misogyny or diagnostic mystery?’ This document
was first published by One Click 05 Jun 2005 07:24 pm in the One Click News
Archives No. 788.

"Globalists
Adopting Jewish Laws"
As the globalists continue on their irreversible course
toward international enslavement, it is obvious that their ultimate goal will
be attained via the imposition of a one-world government and religion.
These objectives closely intersect with the recent adoption of "The
Noahide Laws" as a universal legal code. On Dec. 27, 1991 President George
H. W. Bush signed into law a Congressional Joint Resolution known as
"Education Day USA".
