FDA Orders Dr. Joseph Mercola to Stop Illegal Claims

One of the issues here is that the FDA are not in any sense of the words, particularly good at their jobs.  Nor are they unassailable in terms of their propensity to be swayed by lobbyists.

IMHO those who argue against vaccinations are putting the health of the members of the larger society at risk but I’d like to see some of the science behind these complaints:

  • Fluoride Action Network (FAN), the leading promoter of misinformation about fluoridation
  • Institute for Responsible Technology, which understates the benefits and exaggerates the risks of genetically modification of foods
  • Consumers for Dental Choice, which vigorously attacks amalgam use with misinformation, propaganda, lobbying, and lawsuits
  • Organic Consumers Association, which irresponsibly promotes unpasteurized milk and spreads false alarms about food irradiation, agricultural biotechnology, and vaccines.

Geeee, where ever did that petroleum come from???

Earth to the POTUS, come POTUS.

1/4 of the nation’s seafood comes from the Gulf. A larger portion of the shellfish we eat comes from the bottom of the very same part of the ocean. You know, bottom? Like where the oil and other toxic chemicals went?

Sure, telling people the seafood is safe might help fishermen but it’d be  a whole hell of a lot more helpful to admit there is poison in the Gulf so we can start doing something about it. Ostriches make lousy tacticians. Pretending everything is fine is not going to fix it.

Funny how the best reporting on the subject is so far away from the problem, eh?
