GMC scheduling problems - too much Sex and drugs and rock and roll

This month's circus at the GMC has run into scheduling problems - too much sex and drugs and rock and roll. See click here for link

For an illustrated version check Dr Rita Pal's Ward 87 click here

This month's delights are sex - with patients and colleagues abroad (isn't that what foreign conferences are for?) Drugs, another Dr Shipman or Not? We will never know as Dr Barton's case has run out of time. And as for the rock and roll - check out the doctors with the foreign names

In the meantime, they take the innocents to Manchester, where they can skin them quietly

Dan Hannon MEP gives an alternative view point

Dan Hannon's views on the NHS and the economy - Finally a politician speaking out. It's OK David, don't apologise, he is intelligent and outspoken!!




Dan Hannon MEP gives Mr Brown some facts


The NHS (probably) serves the bottom 10% of this country as well as any country serves this section of the population. The top 10% are rich enough to choose what they do. The middle 80% have low expectations and are grateful for anything they do not have to pay for directly.

This 80% are better served elsewhere, in Germany, Poland, Italy. In conversation with a Somali refugee worker, concerning health tourism. "Refugees do not come to Britain for their health care any more, they go to Germany and to Italy. They know the treatment is better there." When homeless refugees turn their noses up at the NHS we know we are in trouble.

In the US - UK Healthcare debate, big business is on opposing sides. In the US it is on the side of overpriced private health care. In the UK big business is best served by the NHS which they supply and control. In summary, Big Business is against change because when there is change, business suffers. Their business.

In the meantime, the NHS has gone from being Cheap and Inefficient to Expensive and Inefficient

with nothing in between

Swine flu - not lethal enough, vaccinate then decimate

It may sound mad, but this hypothesis is about to be tested on a massive scale.

The government predicts

The government predicts that there will be a second wave of swine flu, more lethal than the first.

Swine flu needs a boost. 44 deaths in over 100,000 infections and cases falling off rapidly is reassuring nothing terrible is about to happen.

Governments and the WHO need to raise the mortality of swine flu. What better way of boosting mortality than by injecting everyone, especially those who are not as strong as the rest of us, the chronically ill, children, the old, or pregnant with a "Swine Flu Vaccination", or "Swine Flu DNA".


Doctor Bloggs predicts

Doctor Bloggs predicts that mortality from swine flu will rise. Especially amongst those who are vaccinated.

Pregnant women may miscarry and there will be fetal malformations amongst pregnant mothers. Because every pregnant woman will be vaccinated, it will be impossible to tell what has caused this rise in malformations. Swine flu will be blamed.

The Government is wrong about every major threat to health. It was wrong about Mad Cow disease - no threat to human health, have another hamburger. Wrong about testing for HIV in donated blood, apologies to everyone who now has HIV and hemophilia. Wrong about improving the NHS, worse than ever, despite doubling its funds. It has always been good in parts, that was not the problem. Wrong about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq.

Do you seriously think the government has got it right about swine flu?

Years ago, swine flu would have been a "Summer Cold". Under the aegis of governments desperate to provide every last penny for Big Pharma, it has become "Swine Flu". I am told, on excellent authority, the expiry date on packets of Tamiflu is December 2009! what a surprise.

Advice based on common sense

Don't take Tamiflu - it won't help, especially if you are a child
Don't get vaccinated - this is likely to make round II worse.
If you are pregnant - stay healthy and don't get vaccinated or take Tamiflu

The Great Swine Flu Swindle - tested on children

Wondering why the government is so keen on the swine flu panic, oops - the pig flu pandemic?

Click on this link for the full story about Glaxo Welcome starring role in the Great Swine flu swindle

GlaxoSmithKline: A Swine Flu Windfall?


"British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline has orders for its swine flu vaccine from 16 countries and is in talks with 50 more British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline is set to reap billions as fear of the swine flu pandemic grows. The world's second-largest drug company has secured orders from 16 countries for 195 million doses of the vaccine it is developing against the H1N1 virus, which has killed more than 740 people worldwide. "

At $10 a shot, when did any government spend 20 billion dollars to avert 740 deaths?

With 20 billion dollars, you could elimate malaria, give every child in Africa clean drinking water or pay GlaxoSmithKline. So why are western governments choosing to give money to Big Pharma. Are the ministers frightened or are they getting kickbacks?


Remember the story of the Pied Piper

First he took the rats and then he took the children.
In this case, the rats in the Department of Health have arranged for Swine flu vaccine to tested directly on children
More from the Daily Mail





Swine flu is the most benign flu yet to emerge on the international flu scene. And giving people an untested vaccine to "protect" them against a non-threat is madness, if not murder.

How to make a Flu vaccine

Where do viruses come from? and why are vaccines so profitable?


Viruses are made of DNA. The blue sphere represents the outside of the influenza virus, which contains the virus's DNA. Wikipedia (click here) describes the process by which vaccines are made. The blue sphere is broken apart and the bits of DNA rearranged into Plasmids and injected into the person.

Vaccinations are often described as "Killed viruses". Viruses are bits of DNA (sometimes RNA) that go from cell to cell. "Killing" a virus means breaking it up into pieces which releases its DNA to float freely. Instead people catching a whole virus, against which the human body can develop immunity, a vaccine gives someone bits of broken up DNA (or plasmids) against which the body has no defence. The DNA or plasmid leads to the production of antibodies (not dissimilar to those found in auto-immune disease). Antibodies are not the same as immunity.

Given how little we understand about DNA, cancer and autoimmune disease, I do not want bits of DNA injected through my skin into my body. Neither would I want it for my children. Especially when you understand where it comes from.

The viral DNA for flu vaccines has been grown in diseased monkeys in Africa by a company, Dynacorp which supplies the US military. Find out more details on this link Origin of Vaccines

Thanks but no thanks!! I'll live according to my principles, stick to a healthy diet and exercise regularly

The King's Fund is not neutral, and its approach must be open to discussion and a more critical perspective of the work that this organisation produces.

and in the words of Polly Toynbee's father, Arnold Toynbee

"I suspect that a worldwide totalitarian movement of the communist-fascist kind may overthrow existing institutions - including local sovereignty, political democracy, economic private enterprise -

and at the eleventh hour some such worldwide totalitarian movement will stabilise human affairs by taking such drastic actions in which indespenable fundamental reforms will be intertwined with atrocious acts of injustice"

This movement is with us now and it is the New World Order. Mandelson, Blair and the NuLabour government, are nailing down our traditional institutions to make the individual powerless.
