A front page report in The New York Times provides additonal information about the catastrophic TGN1412 medical experiment in which 6 previously healthy volunteers were intravenously injected with monoclonal antibody in a highly risky procedure.
An OpEd in The New York Times (below) is trumpeting psychiatry’s latest “cure” for depression: it requires surgical implantation of electrodes in the brain, continued “maintenance” with powerful psychotropic drugs, and it costs $40,000.
Unless Congress acts to overrule the FDA, research disasters such as occurred in London, when six healthy men were exposed to an experimental substance that brought them close to death, are likely to occur with increased frequency.
"That thing I’m worried about…where the MedGuide would help, where it might even warrant a black box, if this is common, where somebody hallucinates and then gets put on an anti-psychotic drug. That would really be something worth making sure it doesn’t happen,"
"It’s time for the CDC to come clean with the American public. Its tactics of deception and obfuscation are jeopardizing the credibility of the entire vaccine program, and therefore posing an enormous danger to public health." Robert Kennedy, Jr. See letter to FDA Commissioner.
A major 17-year follow up study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry [1] found a 2.84 times (95% CI 2.06–3.90) increased risk of mortality in people with schizophrenia compared to those not so diagnosed, and with each addition of a neuroleptic (antipsychotic) drug, the risk increased another 2.50.
"Mr. Stanley says he has donated nearly $300 million — including about $35 million in 2005 — to Dr. Torrey’s efforts, the bulk of it for research at universities and start-up drug companies."
"Now they are terrified that their crimes of commission and omission could reap them the same whirlwind harvest of accountability."
INTRODUCTION: This bill seriously endangers, if not completely undermines, the democratic process and the rule of law.

It is a radical transfer of the US Treasury into the hands of unaccountable private companies whose record shows far more concern about profits than in protecting and improving the health of the American people. It also concentrates the power of life and death in the hands of one very fallible human being and creates an unaccountable federal bureaucracy not subject to disclosure, independent oversight or the safeguards of accountability necessary in a free republic.
"Every year, drug companies spend $14 billion to test experimental substances on humans. Across the U.S., the centers that do the testing–and the regulators who watch them–allow scores of human test subjects to be injured or killed."
Scientific American: Preparing for a Pandemic Wed, 26 Oct 2005 An article in Scientific American (excerpt below) provides a totally different explanation of a pandemic influenza outbreak than that offered in reports sent in yesterday’s Infomail.
