Vaccines, Autism: The “Big Lie” Continues
28 Mar (AGE OF AUTISM) – In 2006 and in 2007, I wrote stories on “The Really Big Lie About Autism.” This is of course the insane claim that the autism epidemic is simply the result of an expanded definition and greater awareness. Back then, the rate was one in every 166 children. A year later, it became one in every 150 children. Regardless, whatever the rate, it’s always because of the same thing: No real increase–greater recognition. (more…)

How Gallo Won World Health Award
SPARKS-OF-LIGHT.ORG - It seems that it has been whitewashed out of history that in 1990 a powerful Congressional Investigative Sub-Committee under Representative John Dingell launched a major inquiry into Dr Robert Gallo’s research on HIV to see if he had proved his virus caused AIDS – or had stolen a French virus as alleged by the Institut Pasteur – with the final result that Gallo’s own HIV research was trashed and he offically lost his credit for having discovered HIV, only escaping on a technicality being indicted for criminal fraud in his patent application for the HIV Test.

Let’s Launch a War on Waste
11 Nov (AARP) - We have a job to do. Hungarian doctor Ignaz Semmelweis suggested 165 years ago that simply by washing their hands, physicians would reduce the high death rate among women during childbirth. He couldn’t prove it, though, and since he predated Louis Pasteur, antiseptics and antibiotics, Semmelweis’ advice was ignored. He was hounded out of his profession and died in disgrace. Much has changed. Still, health professionals have not learned to wash their hands. (more…)
