Beware of McCain's Freedom-Destroying Dietary Supplement Regulatory Bill
Most are familiar with those commercials on television promoting prescription drugs that supposedly offer relief from a variety of ailments, if one would only pressure one’s doctor to obtain them. They have become a source of great entertainment and amusement to some, the kicker coming at the end of each commercial when the FDA-approved medication’s obligatory litany of warnings and dangerous side effects is recited: “Tell your doctor if....” and “Side effects may include.....” Some of the warnings are mild like diarrhea and constipation, some list serious effects like cancer or tuberculosis, and others admit that sometimes even death can result.(2/25/2010)

Kitty Werthmann tells this story of her arrival in the United States:
I was processed in New York. I stayed in a hotel the first night, and the next morning asked the concierge for directions to the nearest police station. I asked if it was in walking distance, and it was.
I walked in and told the desk sergeant I wanted to register. He said, 'What are you talking about?' I said I wanted to register, so they'd know where I was. How would they find me if I broke the law? He said don't worry, they'd find me. And then he said, 'Lady, get the hell out of here.' I walked outside and it was a January day with a blue sky.
I looked up and said, 'What kind of country is this?' All of a sudden it dawned on me. It's freedom.(12/23/2009)

Though Lieberman has been out front in the fight against the public option and the Medicare buy-in, Nelson was critical of both.

Health Authorities Evasive in Answering Perplexing Questions About This Year’s Flu Vaccination Campaign
Major news sources are making attempts to rescue what appears to be flagging demand for flu shots in an already unforgettable flu season.
The Chicago Tribune published a report saying flu vaccines are safe and time tested, but in reality, none were tested on high-risk groups (young children, asthmatics, elderly, smokers, pregnant women) who the government is targeting for inoculation.
The flu shot is newly formulated every year and there is simply no way to know for sure it won’t result in serious side effects, like paralyzing Guillain Barré syndrome, which occurred with the 1976 swine flu vaccine.
Furthermore, public health authorities have been doing a zig-zag on questions posed by the public regarding this year’s flu shots.(10/21/2009)

Vaccine May Be More Dangerous Than Swine Flu
An outbreak of swine flu occurred in Mexico this spring that eventually affected 4,910 Mexican citizens and resulted in 85 deaths. By the time it spread to the United States, the virus caused only mild cases of flu-like illness.Worldwide, there have only been 311 deaths out of 70,893 cases of swine flu. In the United States, 27,717 cases have resulted in 127 deaths. Every death is a tragedy, but such a low death rate should not be the basis of a draconian government policy.
This virus continues to be an enigma for virologists. In the April 30, 2009 issue of Nature, a virologist was quoted as saying,Where the hell it got all these genes from we don't know. Extensive analysis of the virus found that it contained the original 1918 H1N1 flu virus, the avian flu virus (bird flu), and two new H3N2 virus genes from Eurasia. Debate continues over the possibility that swine flu is a genetically engineered virus.(9/10/2009)

Obama May Need Sense of Crisis to Revive Health-Care Overhaul
President Barack Obama returns to Washington next week in search of one thing that can revive his health-care overhaul: a sense of crisis.
Facing polls showing a drop in his approval, diminished support from independents, factions within his Democratic Party and a united Republican opposition, Obama must recapture the sense of urgency that led to passage of the economic rescue package in February, analysts said.
“At the moment, except for the people without insurance, we’re not in a health-care crisis,” said Stephen Wayne, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Washington. “You do need a crisis to generate movement in Congress and to help build a consensus.”(9/6/2009)

Killing Obamacare
Earlier this week, some of my National Review colleagues recoiled from Sarah Palin’s bracing allegation that Obamacare would foist government “death panels” on vulnerable Americans.

There followed a debate (see The Corner archives for August 17 and 18), largely a fine parsing of how — rationally, of course — the term “death panel” ought to be defined.(8/21/2009)

If President Obama wants to better understand why America's discomfort with end-of-life discussions threatens to derail his health-care reform, he might begin with his own Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). He will quickly discover how government bureaucrats are greasing the slippery slope that can start with cost containment but quickly become a systematic denial of care.

With a projected $1.8 trillion deficit for 2009, several trillions more in deficits projected over the next decade, and with both Medicare and Social Security entitlement spending about to ratchet up several notches over the next 15 years as Baby Boomers become eligible for both, we are rapidly running out of other people's money. These deficits are simply not sustainable. They are either going to result in unprecedented new taxes and inflation, or they will bankrupt us.
While we clearly need health-care reform, the last thing our country needs is a massive new health-care entitlement that will create hundreds of billions of dollars of new unfunded deficits and move us much closer to a government takeover of our health-care system. Instead, we should be trying to achieve reforms by moving in the opposite direction—toward less government control and more individual empowerment. Here are eight reforms that would greatly lower the cost of health care for everyone:(8/15/2009)

Moreover, if you have a serious or terminal illness, you are required to make these visits more frequently.

Damning Testimony from a Vaccine Insider About Known and Intentional Dangers of Vaccines
This interview was posted by Jon Rappoport in early January 2002. You will discover by reading it that the very issues we now face of FORCED vaccination of a laboratory-created vaccine to protect us against a laboratory-created disease (Swine Flu, Bird flu, etc.) was set into motion a long time ago.
The vaccine researcher quoted here flat out says that the World Homicide Organization, WHO, is driven by a DEPOPULATION agenda, and that many African leaders know full well that the explosive spread of HIV and AIDS in Africa was caused by WHO-sponsored vaccinations of the 1970s.
This former pharmaceutical insider also debunks the widespread ASSUMPTIONS of vaccine safety promoted by orthodox medicine, the CDC, the National Institute of Health, state health departments, and their compliant media propagandists who are all parroting SUPERSTITIONS, rather than FACTS.(8/7/2009)

Evolution of H274Y Tamiflu Resistance Baffles Experts
The above comment from the WHO update entitled "Influenza A (H1N1) virus resistance to oseltamivir" is confirmed by a multitude of phylogenetic trees of recent H1N1 isolates from a number of countries, which can be analyzed in conjunction with public sequences. These sequences contain H274Y, which confers Tamiflu resistance.
