    I couldn’t agree more. How do you suggest we do that? Right now they have huge control over us. 70% of the WHO funding comes from non governmental sources. The WHO is what controls most of our healthcare decisions, including vaccines.
    I'm not going to validate your percentages but the WHO do a lot of research into vaccines. Are you saying that they're just a front for the big evil pharma companies?
    Is there no way for the WHO research to be validated and peer reviewed by independent researchers, scientists and doctors?

    Where did I call you stupid? I'm quite sure that I posted no such thing.


    Your paranoia is scary.
    By the way, you should stay away from the internet - you can catch AIDS from it!

    You skirted the rules. We all know what you are implying.

    Please look up the definition of paranoia.

    Pfizer - 2.9 billion settlement in 2009 - fraud
    Novartis - 423 million settlement in 2010 - Illegal marketing
    Sanofi Aventis - 95 million in 2009 - fraud
    GSK - 3 billion in 2011 - fraud
    Astra Zeneca - 520 million - fraud

    Pharma companies can't be trusted but people who have literally made an industry out of harming autistic people can.

    Interesting to see where the line is drawn.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    There is a booming industry harming autistic children? Where? What utter none sense. You are really letting me down today.

    Well, there's Jenny McCarthy who promotes chelation therapy for autism. Chelation therapy has horrible side effects and is used as a treatment for heavy metal poisoning.

    The less said of Exley the better.

    Yes, they are lobbied by pharmaceuticals. They manufactured the bird flu pandemic and then peddled the bird flu vaccine, the same one that caused narcolepsy in thousands of people. Except the scary bird flu never came...now it’s measles, HPV, next chicken pox...the fear mongering never ends and the solution is always a vaccine. Meanwhile millions of people with just a couple of vaccinations, born before 12 to 45 vaccines where the norm, before the “6in1” ever existed, are perfectly healthy.

    They manufactured a pandemic, are you insinuating that Pharma companies designed a flu strain and released it intentionally into the public arena, for monetary benefit. They could have made more money on by simply increasing any other products cost by a cent per vial? This is what your saying?

    Well, look at Wakefield's lavish lifestyle for one. Jenny McCarthy has decided to publish her odious ideology and make money off it. And then there's the various tours these people go on.

    Any chance of proof for you claims that the bird flu crisis was manufactured for profit?

    Can you prove vaccines cause either autism or mercury poisoning?

    Exeley wasn't going to get funding regardless of that paper in the next round of funding calls, his science and methodology is poor, which unfortunately for him means that even if he has something, no one will ever take his postulations seriously because he will never be able to back them up with reliable evidence. Exeley benefited because it brought in an alternative funding body outside of the norms, which unscientifically had made the decision on what the research must state before it had began, so yes, he benefited, he benefited hugely, but lets not let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.

    how much does that lad in the west charge for his bottles of bleach that he recommends parents of autistic children give to their kids? Because at the moment that is who you are arguing in favour of. Not the sort of company i would want to keep.

    Sure. Once you substantiate your claim that autism and heavy metal poisoning can be caused to vaccines.

    So after 35 years of internationally recognised research, a professor with his own department at a university doesn’t know science? He had no problem getting funding until his science threatened the pharmaceutical companies. Why is that? Who says his methodology is poor? Science raptor who has never done research in his life? Exleys paper was not withdrawn by the way! It only pseudo scientists and you who have a problem with it.

    50 billion is what the vaccine industry will be worth! Case closed!

    “The overall market for vaccines is expected to grow from USD 36.45 billion in 2018 to USD 50.42 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2018 to 2023. Market growth is attributed to the high prevalence of infectious diseases, growing support for vaccine R&D, investments into vaccine development, and a rising focus on immunization. The base year considered for the study is 2017, and the forecast has been provided for the period between 2018 and 2023.”

    It's in a predatory journal. The peer review process is lax to increase the number of papers that get through and therefore revenue. They have an unusually high number of retraction

    I believe Exley is on the board for that publishing group.

    Declan Waugh publishes in that journal too for the same reason.

    Even ignoring all that, Exely own earlier research contradicted his findings. There were no differences in the Aluminium content of the dried brains across his two papers contrary to what he claimed. Strange coincidence that he "mistakenly" put in the wrong reference to his own previous research!

    Firstly, you have an atrocious view of people with autism. Chelation can cause kidney damage while has no proven benefit for those with autism.

    Now you're saying they "hyped it up".

    Has anyone ever explained correlation v causation to you?

    You keep post correlations between two data sets without linking them by causation. Even the studies you post are pure correlation. Once a correlation is found you then begin to study if there is a causal link. Correlation alone is worth zip.

    Every single pharmaceutical company existence has a blackened history. They are some of the most corrupt and sick industries in existence.
    Which is what strong regulations are for.

    @AH - exactly, and (@stefanovich) it's arguable that the unregulated "nutraceutical" industry is very much more sick and corrupt, playing on people's fears and gullibility, and encouraging them to not effectively treat illnesses until they've become so severe/unmanageable that the person has no choice but to take way more "Big Pharma" medication than they otherwise would have needed.

    I've always wondered why the percentage of healthcare workers who get vaccinated is so low.

    And another thing that doesn't make sense is how un-vaccinated people are a threat to vaccinated people, surely if one gets vaccinated they are immune to anything the un-vaccinated person can pass onto them.


    Just one third of hospital nurses have had the flu jab despite raffles and free coffee incentives.

    UPTAKE OF THE flu vaccination among hospital workers has increased in recent months following a campaign launched by the HSE, but the rate for nurses remains low at just over 32%.

    Back in October, Minister for Health Simon Harris had expressed concern at slow uptake - just 31% of all hospital workers were immunised in 2016. The number for nursing staff in 2016 was even lower at 26.4%.

    Motivators and barriers to vaccination of health professionals against seasonal influenza in primary healthcare

    Only 12% of included health professionals were vaccinated in the 2014/15 season.
