The deaths just keep mounting all across the world: Children are collapsing into comas and then dying, just minutes after receiving combination vaccines that have been deceptively marketed as "completely safe."

Last year, Australia temporarily banned flu vaccines in children after they were found to have caused vomiting, fevers and seizures

Today the damage from vaccines is emerging in Japan, where the health ministry has suspended the use of vaccines from Pfizer and Sanofi-Aventis following the deaths of four children there who died within minutes after receiving these vaccine shots...

Los Alamos Scientist:
TSA Scanners Shred Human DNA

Boian Alexandrov at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico recently published an abstract with colleagues,

"DNA Breathing Dynamics in the Presence of a Terahertz Field "
that reveals very disturbing—even shocking—evidence that the THz waves generated by TSA scanners is significantly damaging the DNA of the people being directed through the machines, and the TSA workers that are in close proximity to the scanners throughout their workday.

Pharmaceutical Company Hiking Price Of Drug
That Prevents Premature Births From $10 to $1,500

By: malterwitty

Next week, the cost of preventing premature childbirth will skyrocket when a drug given to high-risk pregnant women goes from around $10 a dose to $1,500 a dose.

The drug, called Makena, which has been made cheaply for years and is given as a weekly shot, could make the total cost during a pregnancy as much as $30,000.

Why?

Because KV Pharmaceutical of St. Louis
recently won FDA approval to exclusively* sell Makena last month.

The Idiot Cycle: The Chemical Companies
That Cause Cancer Then Profit From Treating Cancer
By: Saladin

Looking at six companies, Dow Chemical, BASF, Bayer, Dupont, Astrazeneca (Syngenta), and Monsanto, Idiot Cycle exposes corporate-government collusion in the release of carcinogenic chemicals, but also reveals how some of the same chemical companies then profit from treating cancer. It’s a cycle only an idiot would tolerate.

Going further, much of the film then addresses genetically modified food and its potentially disastrous effect on health and the environment.

Does this mean if we grant patents we will all be immortal? Pharmaceutical research is largely government funded so to argue that they should be able to hold patents is the ultimate exploitation of the free rider problem
