1/ There was a time not so long ago when direct to consumer advertising of drugs was prohibited by federal law. Pharma could advertise their drugs to prescribing physicians in medical journals but could not market directly to patients.
…
2/ After all, these were prescription medications—not cosmetics, shoes, fast food, or soda. The FDA changed the rules in 1997, allowing drug advertisements on television and in print, after which we began to see “ask your doctor about Viagra” commercials routinely.
…
3/ The United States and New Zealand remain the only countries where prescription pharmaceutical ads are legal. Following the change in 1997, pharma became the largest advertiser for all major media organizations.
…
4/ This buys considerable influence in the newsroom—whether editors acknowledge this or not. Media corporations, like all corporations, are in the business of making money.
f.y.i. When people from other countries (besides New Zealand) see these ads they think we are insane.

I’m often asked what do I think will be the next, serious pandemic. I point out that there’s never been such a thing. Just talk of one.
It’s interesting that on our side, no one else seems to have realised that what they’re forever warning us about - a high lethality, highly infectious pathogen - is as close to impossible as it gets.
Historically, the long run evidence for that is (1) we’re still here & (2) no other mammal has been decimated by respiratory viral illnesses, either.
In both cases, the reason is obvious, once you drill down a level or two.
I use to illustrate one data point low lethality, high infectious) the common cold. Why do these whizz around the world continually? The answer is that even when you’ve got one, you’re mostly only very slightly ill. Most of us don’t stay home with a cold, so we’re busy transmitting our bugs.
Take a high lethality, low transmissible pathogen, like Ebola. First, it makes you ill the day you acquire it. No way are you traveling about. Same even if it’s a high transmissible pathogen. The key is, if it makes you ill early & that knocks you down, you’re always at home when it matters.
Result: self-extinguishing outbreaks, like MERS.
So I don’t think what they’re saying is even possible. You’d need to build in something that doesn’t happen: high transmission while you have no symptoms. Doesn’t happen. Cannot happen.
And respiratory is the Achilles Heel of animal to animal transmission. In other diseases, transmission is also poor, requiring extended & intimate contact. Quite easy to avoid.
All we need is a lot more people using the sense they were born with.
All the best,
Mike

Where Fake News Comes to Crash ‘n Burn

This week we've written about the testimony of FBI Agent Heide in the Sussmann trial. Heide helped investigate the Alfa Bank hoax.
Per Roger Stone - Agent Heide supervised the abusive early-morning raid on Stone's home. Here is Agent Heide marching Stone out of his home.
Stone: Heide made my wife stand in the corner and wouldn't let her answer the phone for "13 hours while my kids and grandkids were trying to call her to see if she was alright."

Top Ukrainian propagandist Arestovich:
“According to unverified reports, we lost the city of Liman. The way the Russian army captured it shows that there are very talented commanders there, and this shows the increased level of operational management and skills of the Russian army.”
