Fatal infections, lymphoma, and other types of cancer, problems with blood, liver, and nervous system, as well as serious allergic reactions and new or worsening heart failure all probably didn't happen to just 1 really unlucky person in 100.

I know you're just throwing numbers out there, but that's also misleading. The truth is that regardless of test results, if you take the drug you have some unknown chance of suffering any or all of a long list of severe or even fatal side effects depending solely on your personal health and biology.

If you want to take that chance, go for it, especially if the risks are worth the potential reward to you.

To me, though, it's like swinging an axe to remove a mole from your forehead.

I can see exciting new lymphomas on the horizon.

Then we got thyroid lymphoma and that was a real hoot.

and I don't think he would give that kind of money. Not in a MILLION years

I read somewhere that every year Limbaugh donates to a lymphoma cancer charity to the tune of several hundred thousand every year. Heard he also donates to some education fund for war veterans. No idea what his yearly charitable donation total is, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear it was 7 figures.

Regardless - I've heard the talking heads chattering about Limbaugh's comments, and Fergie probably should have held to his policy of staying out of commentary because the full context of Limbaugh's quote was that he was making fun of an AP article that was saying how fantastic a job Obama was doing with Haiti compared to Bush/Katrina. Supposedly he predicted on Tuesday that the media would be doing this kind of 'compare & contrast' with Bush/Obama, and ding dong there it was a day later. I can see how he might want to take that ball & run with it.

Yall are really something else. The amount of trust you place in people you don't know is really quite amazing.

THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. Or were these historical events "conspiracies" as well:

Baxter Pharmaceutical Mixed Deadly Avian Flu H5N1 with a Flu Vaccine about to be shipped to 180,000 people!
http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2009/02/27/8560781.html
"The contaminated product, a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses and unlabelled H5N1 viruses, was supplied to an Austrian research company. The Austrian firm, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology, then sent portions of it to sub-contractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany.

The contamination incident, which is being investigated by the four European countries, came to light when the subcontractor in the Czech Republic inoculated ferrets with the product and they died. Ferrets shouldn’t die from exposure to human H3N2 flu viruses. "

Bayer knowingly sold HIV-contaminated vaccines!
http://www.naturalnews.com/News_000647_Bayer_vaccines_HIV.html
"In 2006, it was discovered that Bayer found out a vaccine it was selling in the United States was accidentally contaminated with HIV.

In order to cover its tracks, say the journalists in this video (below), Bayer pulled the vaccines off the market and sold them to consumers in Japan, France, Spain and other countries, where hemophiliacs were then contaminated with HIV due to the vaccine."

Mandatory Polio vaccines contaminated with SV40, causes Cancer!
http://www.healthy.net/scr/Article.asp?Id=2703
"The sudden rise in the number of deaths from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma may be linked to the polio vaccine given to children in the USA until 1963.

Researchers have found the polyomavirus known as simian virus 40 (SV40) in a large number of lymphoma sufferers - the same virus that was in the contaminated batch of polio vaccines.

The vaccine was prepared in rhesus monkey kidney cells, but some of the animals were infected with the SV40, which was then passed on to the vaccinated children. In all, millions of children from all 50 states were exposed to the virus from 1955 until 1963, when the vaccine was finally withdrawn.

Latent viruses were such a problem with primary monkey kidney cells that a worldwide moratorium on the licensing of all polio virus vaccines was called in 1967 because of death and illnesses that occurred in monkey kidney workers and vaccine manufacturing facilities"

Doc_M,

You wanna do the world a favor? Buy some off-the-shelf vaccines and do a complete chemical and biological analysis on them, and report your findings publicly. Unless you are giving us a technical lecture, or presenting experimental data, your opinion is really not worth any more than any of us non-virologists.

He purposefully chose the longest route to get treatment for his movie.

In Canada, if one clinic is closed, you go to another clinic. You never go to a hospital unless you have an emergency. "My wrist hurts" is not an emergency. I don't have a family doctor. I go to clinics all the time for non-emergency stuff. I always get seen in under 2 hours, usually under 30 minutes, and often right away.

When I've had actual emergencies, like needing gaping wounds needing stitches, I've been seen immediately in hospitals.

But that's not the point. Last year, my father found a lump on his neck. He didn't know what it was, so he went to a doctor. That doctor thought it was nothing, but referred him to a specialist. They did many tests over the course of a few weeks, and finally determined conclusively that it was benign. In the States, the initial check-up would have cost $900. Seeing a specialist and taking batteries of tests would have cost even more, so he wouldn't have bothered. He would have practiced sit-and-wait medicine. Fortunately, it was nothing, and for all that medical attention, he came out with peace of mind.

Last year, my nephew also had a lump on his neck. He went through doctors and tests and biopsies, and was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a kind of cancer that mostly strikes young, healthy males. Good thing it was all free, or he might not have gone in in the first place. He got to see specialist after specialist to determine exactly what specific variety of cancer he had, and what the best treatment scenario would be. He never had to decide whether to cut costs by not getting a complete assessment. Then he went through a course of radiation and chemotherapy. He never had to decide whether to take a cheaper option, or go for the best; he just got the best for free. If we'd been American, even the co-pay would have bankrupted our family, if he'd seen a doctor at all.

If there's one thing in the world I'm grateful for, it's that my family lives in a country with free health care.

>> ^deathcow:
> I'm sure these soldiers didnt live long and healthy lives after marching
> through that stuff.
I dont think they were exposed to fallout, or radiation. The radiation sick/kill zone around these small nukes is actually tiny. If you avoid the fallout, your OK.


Erm... except:
From This page about experiences with the Nevada tests shows the US military's horrendous treatment of their own populous during this:

After thousands of sheep died immediately after a radiation cloud passed over them, some southern Utah ranchers brought unsuccessful suits against the federal government in 1955. The government response in court was that “a combination of factors including malnutrition, poor management, and adverse weather conditions” led to the animals’ death. (Killing Our Own [36]) Internal memos to the contrary from AEC researchers were suppressed. Sworn statements by sheepherders, testifying such epidemics among their herds of livestock had never happened until the fallout clouds went over them, were discounted and the ranchers were ridiculed by government officials. Many of the communities in Southern Utah constantly dusted with fallout were predominantly Mormon. They didn’t drink or smoke, as their religion commanded, so cancer was not prevalent. However, in 1956 and 1957, many people were diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, other types of cancer or acute thyroid damage. Prior to this, cancer was rare. By 1960, there was an epidemic.

So... yeah, trying to suggest that these nukes were 'safe' is a little insane.

In fact read the rest of that page, with interviews with soldiers posted on during those tests... a calous disregard for the well being of people and animals was shown by the US Government during that time. And I'm sure those with the disregard explained it all away with the bullshit reasoning of 'It's for the safety of the nation'

I think you people have little understanding of the HIV:FACT OR FICTION debate, in South Africa for several years the goverment has been trying to say that HIV doesn't cause AIDS.

"The United Nations special envoy for Aids in Africa has closed a major conference on the disease with a sharp critique of South Africa's government. Speaking at the end of the week-long gathering in Toronto, Canada, Stephen Lewis said South Africa promoted a "lunatic fringe" attitude to HIV/Aids. "
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/5265432.stm

And if you have the slightest feeling that the video is right you honestly need to reexamine your medical knowledge as HIV is a retrovirus that causes AIDS just like HTLV is a retrovirus that causes T-cell leukemia and T-cell lymphoma

As for the video as a whole it's someone's paranoid ideas when the scientific debate on HIV was still taking place, look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Gallo#Retrovirus_work. It's not because his work was wrong or anything but the result of a lab contamination.

That kind of information is WRONG and DANGEROUS. So yeah am gonna downvote it.

For your consideration ladies and gentleman please meet Quantum mushroom, spokesman in favor of corporate genocide.

The US Veterans Administration has listed prostate cancer, respiratory cancers, multiple myeloma, type II diabetes, Hodgkin’s disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, soft tissue sarcoma, chloracne, porphyria cutanea tarda, peripheral neuropathy, and spina bifida in children of veterans exposed to Agent Orange as side effects of the herbicide.

Clearly our veterans are obviously lying to us.
