The White House’s Scientific Integrity Directive

On December 17, 2010, recognizing that political interference in science had become a serious problem, the White House released a Scientific Integrity Directive.

If fully implemented by federal agencies and departments, the directive could help protect government scientists from pressure by special interests, and would ensure that the government can make fully informed decisions about public health and the environment.

The directive is a response from White House Science Advisor John Holdren to a March 2009 presidential memorandum which outlined broad scientific integrity principles for the executive branch.

For years, interference from politicians and government officials has prevented government scientists from doing their jobs, and has led to flawed policy decisions on numerous issues, from prescription drug safety to childhood lead poisoning. In a recent survey conducted by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), hundreds of government food safety scientists and inspectors reported political and industry pressure to soften their scientific findings.

My son died because of these nasty ugly disgusting drugs. I wish I had known Dr. Lucire the moment I found out heath service doctors were lying to my son and forcing him to take these pharmaceutical products against his will.
For three years they had been drug treating my son with antipsychotics and polypharmacy without my knowledge. When they absolutely had to tell me because he was admitted to a clinic involuntarily, a psychiatrist told me my son has a brain imbalance and our drugs will correct that. Two years later that same psychiatrist told me the same lies as if I had learned nothing in the intervening years.
After first admission he was placed under community treatment order and was force drugged thereafter. Resentment, shame and akathisic violence erupted later upon that same doctor who then had him jailed and heavily drugged for six months after which he was transferred back to the same clinic with a new treater who continued drugging him until they released him alone without telling anyone. The next day he tried to commit suicide but they let him out again; incredibly again they released him without notifying anyone. Two days later he had jumped to his death.
The coroner refused to investigate; according to the DoHA coroners are supposed to investigate these sorts of events are they not?
Had I known Dr. Yolande Lucire two years before my son jumped he would be alive today.
However you look at these drugs they do irreparable damage, starting with manipulation of drug trials results. If they work at all they are unsafe with a long list of unwanted and very undesirable side effects, some of which in some people induce certifiable psychoses and with continuing and inappropriate treatment induce suicide or worse.
Has anything been done about that TGA Report of their Psychiatric Drug Safety Expert Advisory Panel; Dr. Lucire was instrumental in providing data for that. When is something to be done now that we all know these drugs kill patients?
