Summary

It reveals and discusses how pharmaceuticals kill over 100,000 people each year and injure two million. It exposes the fraudulent drug testing conducted by pharmaceutical companies who manipulate results, and the FDA that approves drugs of questionable safety or efficacy. It even goes on to describe the astonishing fact that drug companies are, themselves, playing a dominate role in reporting statistics that would determine whether their own drug might be dangerous enough to justify a public safety recall.

It's a good, passionate read about how the drug industry has taken over Washington and created a medical racket of historic proportions. Millions of innocent Americans are being harmed each year by the profiteering of pharmaceutical companies and the negligence of the FDA.

Details

• These new drugs and vaccines are exempt from the regular approval process and can be fast tracked to market with no human testing at all,3 an unprecedented step for an industry already responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths per year.
• While the drug companies would like us to believe that these deaths are the unfortunate side effects of a careful and caring industry, they are actually the direct result of the ways in which pharmaceuticals manipulate drug trials and skew research data to produce the positive efficacy and safety results they need to bring new products to market.
• The pharmaceutical industry already kills well over 100,000 people every year from correctly prescribed drugs in hospitals alone.9 This does not include deaths occurring outside the hospital or from incorrectly prescribed medications, or the millions of disabilities each year.
• Contrary to what most people believe, drug companies, not the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or independent researchers, finance and control virtually the entire process of testing and bringing new drugs to market.
• Because pharmaceutical companies finance the vast majority of all drug trials, they design and structure the studies, select and pay researchers, choose the patients, analyze the test results, closely oversee the writing and publication of the final studies and release the drugs through their massive sales network to the medical profession.
• Drug companies also systematically obscure adverse drug reactions and even deaths that occur during the trials by simply deleting or mislabeling them in the data submitted to the FDA.
• The fraudulent and deceptive practices of the pharmaceuticals continue during Phase IV when adverse reactions of injury and death are supposed to be tracked and reported to determine if the drug should be pulled from the market.
• However, not only is the adverse reporting system entirely voluntary, but 90---99 percent of all adverse reactions are never reported, according to the head of the FDA for most of the 1990s, David Kessler.18 Imagine the true death rate if this fact were taken into account.
• Bush's Homeland Security Act allows any untested drug and vaccine to be forced on the public, making refusal a crime.
• Along with the MEHPA laws20 and already existing public health laws, the government is then authorized to enforce the quarantine of individuals and entire cities, confiscate property from anyone who resists and take control of roads into and out of your city and state, in case anyone might try to leave town to avoid being medicated or vaccinated.
• The first program deployed through the draconian Homeland Security Act was Bush's smallpox vaccination program.
• Right from the start, hundreds of hospitals and health-care unions across the nation refused to participate, citing concerns about adverse effects and compensation problems.
• Numerous states had suspended it due to the high number of deaths and injuries and a lack of volunteers willing to subject themselves to the very real danger of the vaccine with no credible threat of an actual smallpox attack.
• This would turn pharmaceuticals into bioweapons factories, but without the government oversight and safety regulations normally accorded these dangerous pathogens.
• 4 After a definitive review and close study of medical peer-review journals and government health statistics, these authors found that the American medical system is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of adverse events each year.
