Finally, one of the researchers on Gardasil speaks out:

In October 2007 — yes, two years ago, I told you to use common sense to figure this out,…and now my common sense view has proved correct despite all the PR and articles and “we’ve got to do something” claimed by Merck and the media. Remember when I wrote:

Gardasil, that Merck vaccine I warned you about several blog posts back, has already been linked to 5 deaths and over 2000  adverse reactions, bringing the “known total” of such problems to an astronomical amount.

This is happening to  little girls, mind you, with no risk of cancer at that age — and they’re still pushing it. Duh? Who’s getting compensated that they pushed this so strongly in spite of the logic against it and who’s not thinking straight? Which legislators should lose office?

Conventional wisdom – You want to risk vaccinating 11-12 year old girls (with practically zero risk of cervical cancer at that age)  with an untested vaccine with no long term studies of effects (such as causing cancer itself, or even the possibility of induced sterility) … and you want to do this when only 4000 people per year (out of 150 million women) die of cervical cancer and this is the initial response rate ?

I also told you about the recession WAY before the government and press did, once again from common  sense. IBM says THINK — don’t buy into the PR you see on TV. For instance, “the recession is over” — nonsense.

Another case — President Obama recently said we were in a state of national emergency for 1000 flu deaths. Now considering that over 25,000 people die per year from the flu, what’s that all about? Frankly, we have normal flu behavior — nothing to strike fear into the hearts of people, unless they don’t THINK.

Here’s what CBS uncovered about the coverup regarding the disaster hoopla  that never came …

Other points you should think about — the Options Arm mortigage problem and commercial real estate problems are yet to hit next year, so how can you say a recession is over when THAT and the fact that unemployment is rising (and will probably hit 20% in some places by 2011 if those problems aren’t solved) exist … and how can you stimulate jobs if we’ve outsourced both service jobs (phone answerers, customer service, etc.) and MANUFACTURING, which is the basis of national wealth. Sorry, can’t be done. We’re in for a ride.

And do you really think that (1) health care costs will now go down and (2) insurance premiums will decline with the government’s new plan? You really believe that  because of the budget projection the Senators are so proud of? When was the last time a government program came in on budget (NASA, Medicaid, …)? A doctor who makes rounds in a hospital can stop and see you for one minute, mark his name down on the chart, and they’ll bill you $250. You’re never going to stop that behavior because that’s how he makes his money.

Another example: Surgeons have a minimum numbers of surgeries they must do each year in order to keep their license and hospital privileges … all designed to keep the money rolling in. So you might NOT need a knee operation, but there’s a tremendous pressure for a  knee surgeon to find 250 people to operate on to keep those rights even though far less actually need the surgery. That’s how it works.

Go read the Gardasil article again and what I predicted would happen … all 100% true. All from just common sense. Please understand profit motive causes corporations to push things people would not normally do, and yet employees within those organizations will do it because they don’t want to lose their jobs OR they just convince themselves that wrong is right or black is white (note in the article that the Gardasil researcher wanted to sleep at night) … like smoking doesn’t cause cancer, etc.

THINK. Expand that understanding to business, politics, and cultivation. Don’t get cheated. Money now controls so much of public policy so your chances of getting cheated are going to rise if there’s big money to be made by some group which can grab politicians and the airwaves and pro-whatever groups that say “We HAVE to do something.” Sometimes doing nothing is the best something because any other “something” would make things worst. Seems that’s the case with much of our interventionist foreign policy, which is now seeing continuining rises in blowback and backlash, and with the rise of the internet and modern communications in other countries where wrongs can be instantly telegraphed everywhere, we’re in trouble if we don’t change strategies.
