Subject: BigPharma's crimes- Winnable

Date: May 9, 2007 10:10 AM

The FDA disclaims their responsibility to actually look at the data
BigPharma gives
them.
http://www.actionlyme.org/FDA_DISCLAIMS_JOB_RESPONSIBILITY.htm (see
the email to
me by FDA's John Bishop III)

Yale's Robert Schoen published an explainer of their Lyme RICO crime
in a 1998
text book, in which he instructs MDs to blow off LYMErix injured
persons, even before
the FDA "approved" LYMErix:
http://www.actionlyme.org/SCHOEN_INSTRUCTING_DOCS_TO_BLOW_OFF_LYMERIX_INJUREES.htm
Much like what happened during the vaccine trial:
http://www.actionlyme.org/Bull_Lewis.htm

Yale owns the patent for LYMErix, and Robert Schoen and Dave Persing
developed and
patented the Lyme RICO method to diagnose Lyme that was the phoney CDC
1994 Dearborn
IgG method, where OspA and B are left out of the standard. OspA is
the vaccine.
A and B are encoded on the same plasmid.
See the YouTube Explainers and write down the patent numbers to verify
independently.
http://www.actionlyme.org/YOUTUBEVIDEOS.htm

Antibodies to OspA and B used to be what was considered Lyme Disease-
the autoimmune
reaction to OspA and B. Allegedly the body cross-reacts, but in
reality, the HLA
molecules superbind the OspA and it becomes a superantigen. (It's NOT
"AUTOIMMUNITY,"
but a hypersensitivity reaction and only in certain people with a
certain genetic
background. Have FDA explain it to you- that is if you can find
anyone awake down
there).


Since we have no actual drug regulatory affairs, and since it is legal
in the US
to own diseases [Yale owns Lyme disease since they own the patent for
the only scientifically
valid way to test for it (US Patent # 5,618,533), in much the same way
as CDC's
Alan Barbour owns Southern Lyme Disease, in that he owns the patent
for the only
scientifically valid way to test for it]...

And since the CDC knows childhood immunizations cause encephalitic
events related
to immune suppression or a hypersensitivity response to the vaccine
carriers or
the vaccine antigens themselves (Google MMR and SSPE. Parents don't
understand
that their brain damaged kids don't have "autism," but brain-damage
dementia, a post-vaccinal encephalitis dementia, despite being able to
read about
it right in the drugs' monographs),...


We really have nothing to worry about. Anyone can call anything a
drug, and no
one has to pay attention to any patent laws, since how can the other
nations believe
it is legal for Yale to own all spirochetes?

Isn't that like allowing Oscar Meyer deciding to patent pigs and then
state that
no one can own any or sell any pigs or pig products unless they
license the pig
DNA from Oscar Meyer?


And all foreign nations should request every bit of data submitted to
the FDA from
BigPharma and look at it for themselves, since FDA refuses to do it.


This is world class bull***, but what else should we expect from
world class morons?

How Many "Free Trade" Senators Can PhRMA Turn Into Corporate
Protectionists?
by David Sirota

How many self-described "free" trade lawmakers in Congress can the
drug industry
make head to the floor of the Senate and bare their corporate
protectionist corruption
for all to see? Based on a key vote yesterday, the answer appears to
be somewhere
in the neighborhood of 49 (including 14 Democrats) - well over what's
necessary
to control the federal government.

That's right, as the Associated Press reports, "In a triumph for the
pharmaceutical
industry, the Senate killed a drive to allow consumers to buy
prescription drugs
from abroad at a significant savings from domestic prices." The
legislation to allow
imports of FDA-approved medicines from other industrialized nations (a
practice
used by other industrialized nations themselves) was sponsored by
North Dakota Sen.
Byron Dorgan (D) and has long been supported by the vast majority of
the American
public in opinion polls. Yet right there on the floor of the U.S.
Senate yesterday
afternoon, 49 senators voted through a poison pill amendment,
invalidating Dorgan's
legislation and protecting drug industry profiteering. The sheer
disregard for the
truth and for consistency when it came to both the policy and politics
of this vote
was, in a word, stunning.

Policy-wise, the poison pill amendment to ask the White House to
certify the safety
of drug imports seems at first glance to be utterly forthright - a
testament to
the pharmaceutical industry's lobbying genius. Yet, the only reason to
include such
certification requirements is to give the pharmaceutical industry-
owned White House
the power to block cheaper medicines from entering the U.S. market,
not to protect
U.S. consumers. Why? Because the federal government has already
testified to Congress
that it has absolutely no evidence that FDA-approved medicines from
countries like
Canada are unsafe. Oh, and by the way, if drugs from those
industrialized countries
were such a danger, why haven't we been hearing about a wave of deaths
in Europe
and Canada? Here's an excerpt from Hostile Takeover to better
illustrate these points:

"As Minnesota Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty said in pushing to
legalize imports,
'My first response to that [safety argument] is show me the dead
Canadians. Where
are the dead Canadians?'...The answer is, they don't exist. As Knight-
Ridder reported
in 2003, 'FDA officials can't name a single American who's been
injured or killed
by drugs bought from licensed Canadian pharmacies.' Similarly,
Canada's health ministry
reported that it 'does not have any information that would indicate
that any Americans
have become ill or have died as a result of taking prescription
medications purchased
from Canada." It is why, under pressure, President Bush suddenly
forgot his politically-motivated
opposition to drug imports and said in 2004 the United States would
try to buy flu
vaccine from Canada to deal with a domestic shortage - because there
really is no
safety concern. Even some drug executives are now coming clean about
the lie. Dr.
Peter Rost, the Vice President of Pfizer who oversees the company's
European operations,
first blew the whistle in 2004. 'The safety issue is a made-up story,'
Rost said.
"The real concern about safety is about people who do not take drugs
because they
cannot afford it.'"

Why is it a made up story? Because pharmaceutical companies already
produce many
of their medicines in factories outside of the United States. These
companies are
allowed to import these drugs themselves, but American wholesalers or
consumers
themselves are not allowed to do the same. Put another way,
importation is already
happening in this country safely - so we know it can be done safely.
It's just that
American consumers are not allowed to benefit from such importation
with lower prices.

The politics of this vote are just as hypocritical. On the very day
the New York
Times publishes as story about the divide in the Democratic Party over
lobbyist-written
"free" trade agreements, you'll notice that those voting for the
poison pill represent
the bloc of Senators that is usually responsible for passing these
pacts - the market
fundamentalists who tell Americans that we must prevent any
restrictions on international
commerce, even those that protect the basic safety and well-being of
our citizens.
Yet, at the mere whiff of drug industry campaign cash, these "free"
traders suddenly
become ultra-protectionists, saying no, no - we can't allow FDA-
approved medicines
into the United States from other industrialized nations. Apparently,
these "free"
traders believe our trade pacts should be freely exposing Americans
to, say, poison-tainted
pet foods, diseased vegetables that create Hepatitis outbreaks, and
even potentially
Mad Cow-infested beef, but not to the lower-priced medicines that
would be needed
to treat the illnesses such unregulated imports cause. These people
still haven't
answered the very simple question Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D)
asked in 2005:
"Why allow bad beef to enter the U.S. from Canada and not allow safe
medicine?"

The answer, of course, is simple: Because in 2006, corporate
agribusiness gave lawmakers
$44 million in campaign contributions to pose as a "free" traders when
doing so
supports their efforts to destroy domestic family farming, and the
drug industry
kicked in another $19 million to get the same lawmakers to be the
corporate protectionists
they really are, whether they are voting to ban importation or to
create price-inflating
patent protections in our trade policies.

To understand the power of the drug industry over Congress and how a
vote like this
can be engineered even in a Democratic Senate, we can look past the
macro numbers
about its lobbying army in Washington, and to an individual example
right here in
Montana - a state with a 500+ mile long U.S.-Canada border. You may
recall that
in 2000, Schweitzer ran a spirited campaign for U.S. Senate against
Republican Conrad
Burns. You may also recall that the primary way this farmer who had
never run for
office before came as close as he did to winning the race against a
two-term Republican
senator in a Republican state had much to do with the fact that he led
bus trips
to Canada to pressure Congress to allow drug importation (attracting
millions of
dollars in attack ads against him by drug company front groups). This
is, in short,
a state that knows about drug importation and wants its political
leaders to support
the legislation as a way to lower medicine prices.

Nonetheless, Montana Sen. Max Baucus (D) was one of those senators
voting for the
poison pill that kills the drug importation legislation. He cast his
vote, mind
you, less than a week after holding an widely publicized Economic
Summit in Butte
where he invited the captains of industry to deliver speech after
speech after speech
stressing the value of allowing unbridled international commerce and
free trade.
How could this happen? Take a look at this excerpt from The Nation
magazine about
Baucus's support for the Bush Medicare bill for some clues:

"During the debate over whether to add a $400 billion privately
run prescription-drug
plan to Medicare, his former chief of staff, David Castagnetti, and
legislative
aide, Scott Olsen, were part of the Pharmaceutical Research and
Manufacturers of
America's $8 million lobbying effort. Shortly after the legislation-
written largely
by the pharmaceutical industry-passed, Baucus's top staffer on the
Finance Committee,
Jeff Forbes, left to open his own lobbying shop, with clients
including PhRMA, the
drug maker Amgen and the American Health Care Association. These
companies have
in turn donated generously to Baucus; almost $700,000 between 2001 and
2006 from
the healthcare industry and pharmaceutical lobby."

This is how it works in the Beltway - a place where the K Street's
tentacles reach
not just for the Republicans, but for top Democrats as well. That
bipartisan corruption
makes sure that populist lawmakers like Dorgan, who work overtime to
successfully
attract peel-off Republican support for initiatives like drug
importation, are undermined
at every step. And the result is that on every issue - from drug
prices to energy
prices to job security to wages - Washington's war on the middle class
continues.
