Addicted To Drug — Statistics

I have long told you that when drug companies produce statistics, for the consumption of regulatory agencies or the public, their products look better than the same statistics produced by others, or on trials when the drugs are in the wild.

Partly this is because of the greater care pharmaceuticals take in running their clinical trials. It’s true. They are forced into this vigilance by regulatory agencies. I do not mean the results are therefore more likely to be correct. I mean trials proceed in a more orderly manner, including the writing of the statistics at the end, that the process is better controlled for them than in teams of researchers laboring away in the hope of papers.

Drug companies know how to get wee Ps better than anybody, since it is their business. Regulatory agencies require wee Ps, you see. Alas, wee Ps are proof of nothing. Nothing having to do with whether a drug works, or it causes harm, or is useless, or anything like that. I know I am almost alone in saying this. For now. Maybe after reading this, you will join me.

In the speech I gave to the at Hillsdale (blog/Substack), which included many nervous scientists who met beforehand to plan a strategy of reaction, I remarked, “The British Medical Journal 2017 review of New & Improved cancer drugs found that for only about 35% of new drugs was there an important effect, and that ‘The magnitude of the benefit on overall survival ranged from 1.0 to 5.8 months.’ That’s it. An average of three months.”

In other words, two-thirds of new drugs that waved their wee Ps in the faces of regulators failed when released into the wild. And the ones that succeeded provided a barely there effect.

This is only one of many similar stories of what happens when drugs are out of the hands of manufacturers and put into the hands of the people who you ask if the drugs are right for you. The well known John Ioannidis examined forty nine top medical papers and found: “…7 (16%) were contradicted by subsequent studies, 7 others (16%) had found effects that were stronger than those of subsequent studies, 20 (44%) were replicated, and 11 (24%) remained largely unchallenged.”

The Remarkable History and Safety of DMSO

My time in the medical field has led me to accept many medical practices are adopted because of politics or economics rather than because existing evidence shows they work. Nonetheless, certain instances of this happening still astound me to this day, particularly the blacklisting of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) as:

•This simple chemical is incredibly safe and effective and treats a wide range of challenging medical conditions that impact millions that still lack an effective therapy (outside of DMSO).

•Because of its efficacy, once discovered, it took the country by storm, resulting in millions using it, the scientific community getting behind it and publishing thousands of studies on DMSO, numerous pharmaceutical companies making large investments to bring it market, professional athletes promoting it, numerous governors, congressional representatives and senators (on behalf of both themselves and their constituents) pressuring the FDA to give it a fair chance for decades and state legislatures independently legalizing it because the federal government would not.

•Many approved pharmaceutical products take advantage of DMSO’s properties to work (e.g., in those products, DMSO is often classified as an inert “vehicle”). Similarly, DMSO is FDA approved for one condition (interstitial cystitis) and is approved for a wide variety of veterinary uses (e.g., the same conditions it treats in humans).

•Over the past 40 years, more than 10,000 articles on the biological implications and 30,000 articles on the chemistry of DMSO have appeared in the scientific literature—much of which, as I’ve shown here is remarkably compelling and paradigm shifting in healthcare.

•Yet, despite all of that, DMSO was effectively erased from history. It is now widely seen as an unproven and dangerous therapy, and even within the natural health field, most people do not know it exists.

Because of all that, I’ve felt a responsibility to use this platform to get the knowledge on DMSO out, which I began by presenting the strong case that DMSO is an incredible therapy for:

•Circulatory disorders like Reynaud’s and varicose veins.
•A wide range of neurological disorders, including ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, and spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis or dementia.
•Allowing patients who’ve had decades of chronic pain (from a variety of different causes) to get their lives back.
•Healing a wide range of injuries (e.g., sports injuries, traumatic impacts) and chronic musculoskeletal problems (e.g., spine and shoulder issues) and wounds (e.g., burns or surgical incisions).
•Chronic rheumatic conditions (e.g., arthritis).
•Complex protein disorders (e.g., amyloidosis).
•Down Syndrome.

In turn, I’ve received numerous reports from readers (I’ve been gradually sharing here) from readers who’ve experienced rapid life-changing benefits from DMSO, very similar to the data I provided, which showed DMSO had an 80-90% success rate in treating.

Court Confirms Merck Lied on Mumps Vaccine Label — But Lets Drugmaker Off the Hook in Antitrust Lawsuit

An appeals court this week ruled that even though Merck misrepresented critical data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to gain approval for its updated mumps vaccine — and even though the FDA knew about the false claims — because the agency approved the vaccine anyway, Merck can’t be held responsible for unfairly hurting competitors.

The ruling stems from a class action lawsuit brought by a group of physicians and physicians groups who alleged Merck violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by making false claims about the efficacy of its mump vaccine on the product’s label in order to stifle competition and maintain a monopoly in the marketplace.

The Sherman Antitrust Act prohibits companies from conspiring to create a monopoly.

The U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals didn’t dispute the plaintiffs’ allegations that Merck lied to the FDA about the vaccine’s efficacy.

However, citing the Noerr-Pennington doctrine, the court ruled that because the FDA took no action against Merck after discovering the false claims, it was the FDA’s decision — not Merck’s fraud — that injured competitor GSK and the physicians and physicians groups who bought the ineffective vaccine at inflated prices.

‘Should Not Be Used in Any Infants’: Higher Death Risk in Beyfortus RSV Shot Clinical Trials

Infants treated for RSV with the monoclonal antibody nirsevimab have significantly higher mortality rates than those treated with a different monoclonal antibody or with a placebo, according to an analysis by the Japanese journal Med Check of three major randomized control trials.

The report reanalyzed clinical trial data showing that nirsevimab — marketed by Sanofi and AstraZeneca as Beyfortus — reduced RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection and hospitalizations in both high-risk and healthy infants.

However, babies treated with the drug had a higher mortality rate likely linked to adverse effects — including thrombosis (blood clotting) — from the drug itself, the study found.

“Due to the increased mortality, nirsevimab should not be used in any infants,” the study concluded. “Do not use nirsevimab for universal immunization.”

Shortly after its approval by the European Medicines Association in October 2022, and fast-track approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in July 2023, the U.S., France, Spain and Luxembourg launched universal Beyfortus infant immunization campaigns for the 2023-24 RSV season.

Med Check published its appraisal of the clinical trials shortly after France’s National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM) published its first pharmacovigilance data on the drug, compiled during the 2023-24 season.

The ANSM report tracked adverse events related to Beyfortus in France between Sept. 11, 2023, and April 30, 2024. Of 244,495 doses delivered, 198 adverse events were reported to the pharmacovigilance system, of which 153 were considered serious.

The report identified safety signals for stroke, respiratory conditions and hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes — when an infant suddenly loses muscle strength and becomes “floppy.” Hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes also are associated with the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, or Tdap, vaccine and other vaccines.

There were also three reports of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), although researchers said at least one of them was likely not linked to the drug.

The ANSM said each of the signals would be closely monitored in the future, but that a causal link between Beyfortus and those adverse events had not yet been established. The agency concluded the results confirm that the benefits of using the drug to treat bronchiolitis, an RSV infection, outweigh the risks.

The ANSM continues to recommend all newborn babies receive the Beyfortus shot this RSV season.

Pharma Execs Charged in $1.3 Billion Drug Scheme + More

Five pharmaceutical distributor executives and five pharma sales representatives have been charged by the Department of Justice for the unlawful distribution of about 70 million opioid pills and 30 million doses of other prescription drugs, worth more than $1.3 billion on the black market.

The charges were unsealed in the Southern District of Texas, Southern District of Florida, Eastern District of Missouri and Eastern District of North Carolina.

Three Houston-area pharmacy operators were also charged in the Southern District of Texas for their role in the schemes.

Nine of the 10 individuals charged have pleaded guilty, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Psychiatric Drug Cocktails – Risky Experiments on Human Minds

Despite zero understanding of how even one psychiatric drug “works” as “treatment” for alleged mental disorders, the rate of cocktail (polypharmacy) drugging among children is increasing. One doctor called for informed consent about the benefits and risks associated with the “contraindicated” drugging.

A recent study from Lawrence Kleinman, professor of pediatrics at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, reviewed Medicaid data for more than 141,000 patients (under 21) receiving any psychiatric medication and found that nearly 400 of those patients received at least one “potentially dangerous combination” of psychiatric drugs.

Dr. Kleinman warned that “good practice demands that patients and caregivers be informed of and assent to risks and benefits, including informing them that the intended pair of medications is typically contraindicated.” What Kleinman is warning is that there are serious risks to prescribing cocktails of psychiatric drugs and it is not recommended.

According to Kleinman’s research, polypharmacy (more than one drug prescribed together) is a common practice, with nearly 38 percent of patients in the study filling two or more medications with at least one month overlap, generating more than 11,000 distinct drug combinations.

Kleinman found that the most contraindicated combination involved the antipsychotic Ziprasidone, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the “treatment” of schizophrenia and bipolar. And the research further revealed that “other risky combinations involved antidepressants such as Fluoxetine (Prozac) and Trazodone paired with various antipsychotic medications…”

This isn’t the first of its kind research as a report in February of this year showed that kids in the state of Maryland also are receiving cocktails of psychiatric drugs at ever increasing rates. Yes. It’s a veritable behavioral chemical lobotomy for America’s children at the whim of the prescribing doctor, despite the serious risks associated with such prescribing.

According to the Maryland research conducted by University of Maryland School of Pharmacy graduate student Yueh Yi Chiang, between 2015 and 2020, those children under the age of 17 were receiving “multiple psychiatric drugs during that time that rose from 4.2% in 2015 to 4.6% five years later.” And sadly, those kids who were disabled or in foster care “were significantly more likely than individuals with low income to receive three or more psychotropic classes overlapping for 90 days or more.”

Three or more psychiatric drugs at one time? How is this prescribing not criminal? Physicians are abundantly aware of the serious risks associated with cocktail drugging, especially in light of the fact that not one doctor has even a clue about how these drugs “work” in the brain as “treatment.”

The Biggest Drug Fraud in History

  • Ozempic, a diabetes drug now used for weight loss, is part of a massive fraud that could harm millions, especially children, by treating obesity without addressing its root causes.
  • The obesity epidemic is driven in part by ultra-processed foods designed to override natural satiety mechanisms, not by a lack of weight loss drugs like Ozempic.
  • The Treat and Reduce Obesity Act could mandate government coverage for obesity medications for 74% of Americans, costing over $3 trillion annually without addressing underlying health issues.
  • Ozempic’s maker, Novo Nordisk, has become a top lobbying spender in the U.S., pushing for expanded drug coverage while downplaying significant side effects like muscle loss, suicidal thoughts and increased cancer risk.
  • Naturally increasing GLP-1 levels through gut bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila offers an alternative to Ozempic, promoting overall gut health without the risks associated with long-term pharmaceutical use.

The rise of Ozempic and similar drugs for weight loss involves fraud of unprecedented scale that could have devastating consequences for millions of Americans, especially children.

Ozempic, a drug initially developed for diabetes, has become a sensation for weight loss. Its popularity has skyrocketed, with everyone from celebrities to college students clamoring for prescriptions — but at what cost?

The active ingredient in Ozempic is part of a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists.

These drugs stimulate hormones in your digestive system that signal fullness. While this makes it easier for people to eat less and lose weight, the reality is far more complex and concerning.

The COVID “vaccine” is an intentional effort at world genocide

Never before have there been children, young adults, athletes in their prime, entertainers, dropping dead “cause unknown” following vaccination.

Of course, the cause is known.  The leading doctors and medical scientists of our time–which excludes health agency bureaucrats, such as Fauci, who serve as marketing agents for Big Pharma and corrupt, politicized state medical boards and HMOs–have explained why and how the mRNA “vaccines,” which are not vaccines, kill, destroy the immune system, and cause health injuries.  What is not known is why some die immediately after receiving the deadly substance, others a month later, and others remain, so far, alive.  Some researchers think the content of the “vaccines” differed by lot, and some think some of the jabs were placebos for the purpose of producing an uninjured cadre to tout the safety of the jabs.  

Professor Michel Chossudovsky has collected here — https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-covid-killer-vaccine-people-are-dying-all-over-the-world-its-a-criminal-undertaking/5800358 — a number of videos documenting the widespread sufferings and deaths of the vaccinated.  It is not the unvaccinated who are “mysteriously” dropping dead all over the world.  It is the vaccinated.  

Yet the coverup continues.  The western media–a collection of whores–are at work covering up for themselves as well as for Fauci, Biden, Bill Gates, Big Pharma, the FDA, NIH, CDC, and the utterly corrupt and irresponsible medical profession.  Big Pharma and the FDA continue to push jabbing babies with the killer vaccine, and there are still parents so utterly stupid and insouciant that they participate in the murder of their own children.

With people all over the world so stupid and so blindly trusting of authority, we can see why the Satanic Bill Gates and Satanic Klaus Schwab are confident that they can succeed in reducing the world population and effecting their Great Reset.

Congressman Gosar Introduces Legislation to Sue Big Pharma for Vaccine Injuries

H.R.9828 would amend the Public Health Service Act to end the liability shield for vaccine manufacturers, and for other purposes. LET’S GO!

From the Congressman Gosar’s Press Release:

Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09), issued the following statement after introducing H.R. 9828, the End the Vaccine Carveout Act, a bill that would strip vaccine manufacturers of their unjust liability shields. This carveout has resulted in hundreds of billions of dollars in profits for Big Pharma while leaving tens of thousands of people without the ability to seek legal justice and compensation for injuries caused by vaccines. 

“Although federal bureaucrats and Big Pharma insist that vaccines are safe, there is an unfortunate lack of science regarding the safety of vaccines.  For example, a review of 12,000 scientific papers by the Institute of Medicine published in 2012 found that 98% of injuries studied were either caused by or may have been caused by a vaccine.  Another government study found that while vaccines caused injuries in 10 percent of cases, only one percent get reported, meaning those injured by vaccines are vastly undercounted.

Furthermore, according to the Center for Disease Control’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, nearly 20,000 Americans were reported as having been killed to date by a COVID-19 vaccine, equating to one death for every 14,000 people vaccinated, much higher than the one in a million deaths that is normally cited for dangerous vaccines.

Government bureaucrats and scientists responsible for approving vaccines are in bed with Big Pharma, often owning pharmaceutical stocks, serving as consultants and receiving lucrative contracts from pharmaceutical companies that pressure them to produce favorable results which is in direct violation of federal law.

Worse, many scientists and researchers in government agencies develop patents for vaccines that are approved by the very agencies they work for, creating a conflict of interest and raising serious questions about the impartiality of their decisions.

Under current law, it is nearly impossible to hold vaccine manufacturers liable for injuries caused by vaccines due to a 1986 law that unfairly created a special immunity carveout for Big Pharma, making it very difficult for vaccine-injured victims to win in a court of law. 

My legislation strips away current immunity provisions unfairly shielding Big Pharma from the harms caused by their products and allows those injured by vaccines to pursue a civil lawsuit in state or federal court.  Big Pharma doesn’t deserve a get-out-of-jail-free card for injuries caused by their harmful vaccines,” concluded Congressman Gosar.

This bill already has 30 co-sponsors!

The Greatest Coverup in History

Last night at dinner, my younger brother told me about an old Army Ranger buddy of his who did several tours in Afghanistan & Iraq, and all of the terrible things he did and saw for the U.S. government and its corporate cronies. Dawning awareness of the true horror of it caused him to go through a dark odyssey of alcohol and violence from which he may never have emerged had it not been for his exceptional mental toughness and discipline.

The U.S. Military-Industrial Complex (which now includes the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex) does not count the cost of its adventures, but moves from one to the next without any accounting or disclosure to the American people whom claims it is protecting from the big bad world. Most of the citizenry has no idea what kind of terrible things the Complex does “to keep us safe”—that is, to advance the interests of the powerful people it works for.

Sadly, the American people and their captured representatives never demand a full accounting. Over time, reports invariably emerge that our government has lied to us about its adventures, but before disciplinary action is taken, the American people have grown weary of the mess and no longer want to hear about it. The final step in consigning the truth to oblivion occurs when the U.S. government embarks on its next adventure, thereby changing the subject.

For the last four years, Dr. McCullough and I have marveled at the extraordinary fiasco of EcoHealth Alliance and its NIH grant to conduct gain-of-function work on bat coronaviruses with its partners at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. While there is a mountain of evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was created with American biotechnology supplied to the WIV by key players at EcoHealth, somehow Congress and the Department of Justice haven’t been able to muster the will to do anything about it.

We were reminded of this bizarre story this morning when we saw an August 19, 2020 e-mail from NIH Director Francis Collins to Harold E. Varmus—a former NIH director and currently a key advisor of the Gates Foundation, the World Health Organization, the Department of Energy, and several other major institutions within the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex.
