And now, they hire Hotez.. Yes it was Baylor College of Medicine. Now Hotez is calling for international troops to come arrest the naysayers and vaccine deniers.. Somewhere I think he didn't learn about what the Japanese General said in WWII. "In America there is a person with a gun behind every blade of grass"

This actually has been the standard for a lot of medical research for 25 years.

In 2010, It reached its all time height with the Purge of the NIH & CDC of anyone who “would NOT play ball” during the Barry O administration.

Since that time medical journals and govt funded research has been 90% positive for pharmaceutical companies and Government data.

Weird.

I was preaching about this 8 years ago and was laughed at.

you were right all along. Actually my surgical story occurred in the early 1980s.And yes, the Pharma rip off blossomed under "O"...Along with the NGOs.. the nexus and conduit of money for the marxist million man march across our southern border invading our country. - Clinton was happy to have Arkansas be the hub of illegal drug smuggling from the south, but "O" made the money hustle more "reputable" by involving "pharmaceutical" drugs. Read "the Boys on the Tracks" about MEna Arkansas. Or watch the Tom Cruise movie on the drug smuggling pilot.. both interesting.

I overheard one doc at a major, major medical and teaching institution declare his appreciation for one of those stats guys in 1979: Tell him the results you want and he’ll find them.

Wow. Showed himself to you. Unfortunately, many are slow to see the ineptness in our national healthcare. NIH, CDC, and FDA are true examples of corruption to the core. Their only resolve is what’s best for their kickbacks and ability to grant funds for those who kneel at their feet.
