Medical/Health Sciences

This information should cause you to pause and think. Quote: "Suppose you learned that a single source in the US, every year, like clockwork, kills 225,000 people. That would be 2.25 million killings per decade.  Wouldn’t you think we’d hear about it? Wouldn’t public health agencies make a big, bigger, biggest deal about it? Wouldn’t they call it a pandemic to end all pandemics?'  And, "I’m aware that independent research puts those death figures much higher, but I focus on Dr. Starfield’s work because no mainstream reporter or government official could challenge her credentials or the credentials of the journal that published her findings.  And yes, there were stories in the press at the time, in 2000. But the coverage wasn’t aggressive, and it faded out quickly.  And none of the mainstream coverage did the obvious extrapolations. We are talking about 2.25 MILLION deaths per decade. And over a MILLION deaths per decade from medicines the FDA has approved as safe and effective.  The US government is aware. You can search for an FDA page titled, “Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs)?”   It states: “Over 2 MILLION serious ADRs yearly.” And “100,000 DEATHS yearly.” (The capital letters are the FDA’s, not mine.)"    https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2015/11/25/dr-starfields-revelations-shock-of-shocks/

More on the above topic.  Quote: "The US medical system kills 225,000 people a year. That’s 225,000. Which means 2.25 million killings per decade.  Put that up against wars, so-called epidemics, terror attacks, car accidents, Trump, libertarians, Jones, paranoid right-wingers."     https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2015/12/14/dear-wapo-ive-got-some-fringe-for-you-right-here/

Sometimes facts get in the way of the political left's desire to promote an agenda in support of its crony capitalists friends.  This piece summarizes one huge disconnect that gets little or no attention from the mainstream media and the whole of the progressive left.  Quote: "It's official: Guns are not the deadliest things in the only country on Earth with a recognized right to "keep and bear arms," as the political Left would have you believe. Turns out that Big Pharma is the nation's most deadly killer.  In recent days, Drug Enforcement Agency Acting Administrator Chuck Rosenberg announced results from the 2015 National Drug Threat Assessment, or NDTA, which found that drug overdose deaths are the leading cause of injury death in the United States, surpassing deaths from motor vehicles and guns. In 2013, more than 46,000 people in the U.S. died from drug overdoses and more than half of those were due to prescription painkillers and heroin, the Mises Institute, a libertarian-leaning think tank, reported, citing the NDTA."   http://www.naturalnews.com/052093_prescription_drugs_overdose_deaths_Second_Amendment.html
