What’s the difference between climate change and the provaccine zealots ?  Read Full Blog

Medicine has it’s own share of “indulgences” too, which most people don’t think about. Wouldn’t you think that modern medicine in all it’s TV swept up glory could have found a “cure” for the common cold by 2009? After all, it “knows” so much. It knows that a cure for a cold would make redundant billions of dollars in sales for the useless over the counter drugs alleged to ease the agony of a cold. Why do we hear, even today, that BECAUSE pharmaceutical medicine says it has no cures for measles, whooping cough, chickenpox, polio, Hepatitis B etc, that vaccines are the answer. A cure for any disease, would negate vaccines injected into every body on earth. When it comes to vaccines, wouldn’t you think that the medical profession, in 2009, could come up with something better than animal cells, toxic chemicals, untested adjuvants, and denatured bacteria, or viruses passaged through human amnion, dog kidney cells and a variety of other animal substrates? Why would you do that, when you can make yet another industry off the miseries from vaccines, while at the same time, cultivating the belief that these miseries have nothing at all to do with the vaccine? Read Full Blog

History Buffs will know all about “indulgences”. To put it colloquially, this is where the Roman Catholic church said, “if you don’t give us money to pray for your dead relatives they will languish in purgatory for long periods before they get to Heaven’s gate.” I see, that the Roman Catholic church is revitalizing the “indulgences” doctrine.  Read Full Blog

Vaccines protect. Vaccines are safe. Vaccines never cause harm. Vaccines save lives. Got that? You stupid people who think that vaccines are to blame for everything under the sun, need to get a life. When are you going to get it through your heads that the cervical cancer vaccine did NOT kill that UK girl??!   Vaccines can’t do that!   The autopsy was quite clear. This girl had a malignant tumour in the chest, which was a serious underlying condition. That’s what killed her. The Cervarix shot, given two hours before she died, had nothing to do with it - quite coincidental.... Got that? Read Full Blog

You know, I have no problem with scientific principles but I sure have problems when science has no principles. It beggars belief when you read the headlines in a newspaper which says, "More than half million (USA) kids get bad drug reactions". Okay, okay... maybe that's true. Read further, and you'll see it is. But these drug reactions are elective drugs like penicilin, paracetamol, and 'stuff'. Then further down, we read, "similar numbers of hospitalized children - about 540,000 yearly, also have bad reactions to drugs including side effects, medicine mix-ups and accidental overdoses." Okay? Parents are admonished to pay close attention when their children are started on medicines, since "first-time" medication exposures may reveal an allergic reaction." Fine. But. There's a very big BUT here. Read Full Blog

Is the whole of New Zealand gormless? No, but Dr Darren Hunt's face peers out from a box on page three of the Sunday Star Times today, telling us that the problem with swine flu is that no-one in the community has any immunity to it, therefore it will infect far more people than normal flu, and we can't have 20 - 50% of people sick with swine flu, as well as ordinary flu, can we? "That's why we have to slow it down."  Hang on a minute??!!!  Read Full Blog

Making vaccines compulsory, isn't something you hear much about in New Zealand media, BUT... if we aren't careful, mandatory vaccination will become law in this country. While those who tweak the strings around the wrists of politicians have kept very quiet in public, in private, there have been, and are, far more intense discussions going on about making vaccines mandatory, than ever before. How do I know? Read Full Blog

The writing of hitlists is something most people associate with gangs, criminals and the Mafia. So perhaps it will come as a surprise to read of a trial in Australia about a hit list  of the names of doctors who spoke out against a drug called Vioxx. This particular list was not made up by Gambino Mafia, but by white collar pushers and shovers at ... Merck. it's common knowledge that Merck is relying on Gardasil profits to pay off the settlement amounts for Vioxx.  That isn't my opinion, but comes from the "mouth" of one of the HPV bigwigs. Read Full Blog

One of the societal tools used against those who chose not to vaccinate is the “don’t come crying” line. Read Full Blog
