Thinking of getting vaccinated?

[Katman]

A potential link that has been explored and found not to have evidence.

From the scientists and their institute themselves.... rather than the beat up media

As I said to Katman earlier

Even when they're not looking for it

What is it they say about Occam

That's a bit of a change in direction for ya. But ok.

Near as I can tell from that piece (which is fucken disjointed and hard to figure out what part of the vaccine is the problem), is its a reach to join the initial infections with the later development of cancer.

At least, I think that's what they're saying. The article is (in my opinion for the purpose of padding without saying anything solid) deliberately written badly.

So the first source for the bold claim is just a letter that cites another book as its source, and the link to the excerpt in the book has no mention of Marica Angell.

Failed at the First hurdle.

However - something different which might provoke some interesting discussion.

What are your thoughts on the drug Addyi?

In particular:

Do you think this drugs side effects are dangerous?
This is a drug that was initially declined by the FDA, only to be allowed after a combination of Corporate and Public pressure (the latter as a result of a clever marketing campaign by the company).
My thoughts are this appears to be a case where Corporate greed and slick marketing have overruled the Scientific evidence, something that I find worrying, and I dare say that you will too (although perhaps from a different angle)

I've never heard of it.

But do you think it's the only case where corporate greed and slick marketing have overruled scientific evidence?

I Googled it. It's meant to be a drug to make women hornier.

Nope, Thalidomide springs to mind - Tell you what - go research it and the controversy around it - then let me know your opinion - I am interested to see your take on the situation.

Normally I would provide sources - but that would defeat the purpose in this case.

I'd suggest it's just another example of pharmaceutical drug addiction.

Thalidomide worked exactly as it was meant to. Women got pregnant. It was the unexpected deformities that were the problem.

Selling unsterilised Dalkon Shields (after they were ordered off the American market) to Third World countries is another.

It's a VISA card?
