The FDA is covering up scientific misconduct

Bet you never thought you'd see this one on a respectable forum. But this forum is hardly respectable, and neither is rum! This section is for the forbidden: rum and religion, politics and sex. Here's to Frank Zappa and Catholic Girls!

The FDA is covering up scientific misconduct

Post by da'rum »

"For more than a decade, the FDA has shown a pattern of burying the details of misconduct. As a result, nobody ever finds out which data is bogus, which experiments are tainted, and which drugs might be on the market under false pretenses. The FDA has repeatedly hidden evidence of scientific fraud not just from the public, but also from its most trusted scientific advisers, even as they were deciding whether or not a new drug should be allowed on the market. Even a congressional panel investigating a case of fraud regarding a dangerous drug couldn't get forthright answers. For an agency devoted to protecting the public from bogus medical science, the FDA seems to be spending an awful lot of effort protecting the perpetrators of bogus science from the public.”

Just heard Robert Kennedy Jr. discuss the use of mercury carriers in the MMR and annual flu shots. One of the most senior scientists turned whistleblower and stated that the hidden data demonstrated that this mercury causes tics, and other neurological effects that mimic autistic type symptoms (long suspected).

Mind you Kennedy is very pro vaccination, but states that these particular vaccines need to be reformulated without the mercury (Thimerosol).

Thimerosol has long been an issue with vaccines, particularly for children, but the FDA chose to just let the supplies run out over the course of decades rather than do something about it. Seems that the government and pharmaceutical companies would lose a lot of money and we can't have that.
