Summary
This aggressive article offers a well-researched overview of the
underlying mechanisms of the medical racket that generates obscene
profits for drug companies who peddle highly toxic chemicals to unwary
patients under the label of "prescription drugs."
It reveals and
discusses how pharmaceuticals kill over 100,000 people each year and
injure two million. It exposes the fraudulent drug testing conducted by
pharmaceutical companies who manipulate results, and the FDA that
approves drugs of questionable safety or efficacy. It even goes on to
describe the astonishing fact that drug companies are, themselves,
playing a dominate role in reporting statistics that would determine
whether their own drug might be dangerous enough to justify a public
safety recall.
It's a good, passionate read about how the drug
industry has taken over Washington and created a medical racket of
historic proportions. Millions of innocent Americans are being harmed
each year by the profiteering of pharmaceutical companies and the
negligence of the FDA.

These new drugs and vaccines are exempt from the regular approval
process and can be fast tracked to market with no human testing at all,3
an unprecedented step for an industry already responsible for hundreds
of thousands of deaths per year.
While the drug companies would like us to believe that these deaths
are the unfortunate side effects of a careful and caring industry, they
are actually the direct result of the ways in which pharmaceuticals
manipulate drug trials and skew research data to produce the positive
efficacy and safety results they need to bring new products to market.
The pharmaceutical industry already kills well over 100,000 people
every year from correctly prescribed drugs in hospitals alone.9 This
does not include deaths occurring outside the hospital or from
incorrectly prescribed medications, or the millions of disabilities each
year.
Contrary to what most people believe, drug companies, not the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) or independent researchers, finance and
control virtually the entire process of testing and bringing new drugs
to market.
Because pharmaceutical companies finance the vast majority of all drug
trials, they design and structure the studies, select and pay
researchers, choose the patients, analyze the test results, closely
oversee the writing and publication of the final studies and release the
drugs through their massive sales network to the medical profession.
Drug companies also systematically obscure adverse
drug reactions and
even deaths that occur during the trials by simply deleting or
mislabeling them in the data submitted to the FDA.
The fraudulent and deceptive practices of the pharmaceuticals continue
during Phase IV when adverse reactions of injury and death are supposed
to be tracked and reported to determine if the drug should be pulled
from the market.
However, not only is the adverse reporting system entirely voluntary,
but 90---99 percent of all adverse reactions are never reported,
according to the head of the FDA for most of the 1990s, David Kessler.18
Imagine the true death rate if this fact were taken into account.
Bush's Homeland Security Act allows any untested drug and vaccine to
be forced on the public, making refusal a crime.
Along with the MEHPA laws20 and already existing public health laws,
the government is then authorized to enforce the quarantine of
individuals and entire cities, confiscate property from anyone who
resists and take control of roads into and out of your city and state,
in case anyone might try to leave town to avoid being medicated or
vaccinated.
The first program deployed through the draconian Homeland Security Act
was Bush's smallpox vaccination program.
Right from the start, hundreds of hospitals and health-care unions
across the nation refused to participate, citing concerns about adverse
effects and compensation problems.
Numerous states had suspended it due to the high number of deaths and
injuries and a lack of volunteers willing to subject themselves to the
very real danger of the vaccine with no credible threat of an actual
smallpox attack.
This would turn pharmaceuticals into bioweapons factories, but without
the government oversight and safety regulations normally accorded these
dangerous pathogens.
4 After a definitive review and close study of
medical peer-review
journals and government health statistics, these authors found that the
American medical system is responsible for hundreds of thousands of
deaths and millions of adverse events each year.
