Might as well address The Juggernaut, as I perceive it.

America is one of the only countries that allows direct-to-consumer marketing of pharmaceutical drugs. This video is watchable, only ten minutes, but neglects to mention the most major consequence of the phenomenon.... The major consequence is, with Big Pharma ad revenue now holding up the entire media matrix, criticism of the pharmaceutical industry is limited, and the truth is distorted. An investigative journalist cannot simply and objectively put a drug in the crosshairs, without risking a costly loss to the TV network or media conglomerate's income. Therefore we are generally advised to be more trusting of drugs, not more discerning. This, even though " Our prescription drugs kill us in large numbers." What's happening, that I see, is a kind of conditioning or literal programming process, where drug skepticism is treated as a kind of heresy against science itself. My resolute intention to avoid pharmaceutical products is seen as superstition or possibly backed by religion, as if one could only doubt one "religion" (the orthodoxy of Western, allopathic medicine) by turning to another. How sad that for all we have available to us with the internet, independent research is often frowned upon as a dilettante and dangerous misadventure. Yet, see above....it's not like Big Pharma is really all that successful, either. In a way, I think everything is a gamble, because nature still always has the upper hand, and we're mortal. It's going to be one thing or another bringing us down. But we should have the right to "pick our poison" (to be drugged, or not to be drugged) without undue criticism.

I agree and disagree at the same time. It depends what complaints and prescriptions we're talking about. I've been skeptical of anti-depressants and the way mental health re: anxiety and depression is handled currently. Here, those drugs seem to handed out like smarties which makes me think there is indeed another agenda at play. I am sure that I will get poo-hooed for saying that.
I completely agree with the criticism of direct advertising though and the first video is horrifying. That does seem to undermine the role of doctors in the whole process. We don't have that very much here, but I don't understand how you get prescriptions in the US then? Do you still have to got to the GP or are prescriptions obtained elsewhere too?? In the UK, everything is highly regulated due to the fact that we have a socialist institution providing our healthcare. I feel sorry for those with intense chronic pain and have to resort to illicit pain killers- I am on the fence about legalising cannabis for medical purposes. I always assumed as its the medicinal stuff, it would be safe or would we end up with an addiction epidemic? I suppose its still different from opioids though. Probably it all comes down to the way its regulated in the country.
With that in mind, GPs here can be just as eager to push pills here. Tell me how can someone who is suffering from acute grief benefit from anti depressant drugs which then make you hallucinate? I know grief can cause secondary, acquired depression but that isn't the same as primary onset. This happened to my friend a few years back and I was just gobsmacked. It didn't help her, she just became even more lethargic, depressed and hallucinated all the time. I think I've said this before, but all the friends and family members who have complained of this also have particular diets (either veggie or vegan actually) and I just can't help but wonder whether a more holistic approach is necessary for these people instead of handing out pills.
However, I guess there is something arrogant about assuming you know more than those who have studied pharmacy for so long. On the other hand, and in response to John Oliver's stats there, we do have an ageing population in the west. I am not sure whether weak bladder prescriptions and erectile dysfunction (side effect of the above!) themselves are evidence of a conspiracy. Because of the advancements in medicine, people are living longer and will have to rely on countless prescriptions to keep them upright as they get older. As much as alternative medicine has its place, it has been pharmaceutical advancements in the last 50yrs or so that has contributed to our comfortable lifestyles in the west today. People are living longer because of that, not herbal remedies, but again as I said it has its place. Nothing beats a good diet at the end of the day for both physical and mental health. Plus a good ethos in the healthcare system. he US Sorry for the ramble, I am not sure if I have missed the point. I don't properly understand the US system. I know you have to have insurance and pay yourself...so are only the wealthy at risk of being over prescribed? Or are they cheap so that big pharma stays in as much business as possible?

Thanks FruityLlama , always nice to get your honest and well thought-out opinions. True, some chemical drugs have been great, at least temporarily. Antibiotics have been revolutionary and yet, bacteria are outwitting them, and there's a concern we are inadvertently heading into a time when "superbugs" win the biology war against us. That would be a human-made catastrophe. It's not the only one. One point I've wanted to mention is, the US gov't is currently in a lawsuit against Merck. To the best of my knowledge, this is ongoing: Another man-made problem: creating limited immunity via vaccines, shifting the age of incidence into adulthood, when a disease is more dangerous. Adult mumps is more dangerous than childhood mumps. Yet, thanks to false claims about the duration of protection offered by MMR, we are seeing large outbreaks of mumps at colleges, within "fully vaccinated" populations. Criticism of vaccines on any level is verboten, even when the facts are this clear and straightforward (there are whistleblowers, a lawsuit, and outbreaks to prove the vaccine doesn't work well, or at all). I feel that science tends towards arrogance. Human nature just seems to always want to find an excuse to become more egotistical and smug. The problem is, complacency is the exact opposite of a truly scientific mindset, which would have to be more open and exploratory, in order to see the truth. Anyway, I'm not really sure that pharmaceuticals can take credit for extending life...I do know that certain heart drugs are buying people time at the end (and other drugs, of course). But the US has been seeing decreasing life expectancy: The decline in U.S. life expectancy is unlike anything we've seen in a centuryThe Center for Disease Control (CDC) says we can pin that on the opioid crisis, liver disease, and suicide. All three can be associated with pharmaceutical drugs (I know at least some psych drugs have "suicidal ideation" as a side effect.) But what about this? Infant mortality is higher in the U.S. than in comparable countries www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/infant-mortality-u-s-compare-countries/#item-infant-mortality-higher-u-s-comparable-countriesU.S. has highest first-day infant mortality out of industrialized world, group reports www.cbsnews.com/news/us-has-highest-first-day-infant-mortality-out-of-industrialized-world-group-reports/From the above link: "About 11,300 newborns die within 24 hours of their birth in the U.S. each year, 50 percent more first-day deaths than all other industrialized countries combined, the report's authors stated." WTF are they doing to the babies here? People could blame this on pockets of poverty in the US, religious communities that don't seek proper healthcare, and so on, but I think it's something more along the lines of excessive pharmaceutical interventions, combined with a cavalier attitude that cannot admit mistakes (which are literally costly, as lawsuits pile up). So the system persists in doing what it first set out to do (mind-blowingly stupid things, like filling teeth with mercury), just to show how correct it is (when everyone with half a brain knows it's wrong.) We do not have a self-correcting way of doing medicine, because admitting mistakes is disastrous to business, and medicine is far more of a profit-driven enterprise than truly healing-driven. As for herbal medicine and natural cures, it's practically a crime they've been so maligned and sidelined. Just when we have the availability and knowledge, people are persuaded to stay away, out of superstition, basically. Thanks...a bit of a rant there! To answer your question about obtaining prescription drugs, we do have to go through doctors...the study presented in Oliver's expose indicated that doctors are far more likely to hand out drugs when a patient mentions them by name. One more thing, about psych drugs, the US is also the most drugged in the world. I read a book on this years ago (Comfortably Numb)...one in six Americans is on a psych drug: www.cnn.com/2016/12/12/health/psychiatric-drug-use/index.htmlGreat point about veggie/vegan diets...I strongly believe diet has much to offer where mental health is concerned. I wouldn't be surprised if, for some people, it's one microwaveable ground beef burrito, eaten habitually, that's at the root of their dark thinking.

My concern in America is that once all philosophical and medical vaccine exemptions are removed from children, the adult immunization schedule will be mandated with no opt-outs. Then the vaccine schedule could also be expanded to include everything in the vaccine pipeline, including HIV vaccine (something I believe few people would go for -- getting injected with HIV, on purpose.) Already, forced vaccination of children, against their parents' will, is quickly taking shape: time.com/5567422/mandatory-vaccination-legal-ethics/Justifications are being formed for injecting people against their will. This may not seem so bad on the surface for those who truly believe vaccine side effects are rare. For others, it is a traumatizing thought and most definitely a slippery slope. I do think there is a sinister agenda here....it's very draconian, but people aren't used to thinking of America this way. I've been thinking of it this way for a long time. I don't want to live in a medical autocracy, a Pharmatocracy. I go out to pick up some groceries and over the store's PA system I'm bombarded with Pharma commercials and "get vaccinated, get vaccinated" (no exaggeration.) Come home and get my son's sports email and I'm directed to take a hospital survey and given tips on where to take my son in case of injury (both sponsored by the same hospital.) Medical billboards are everywhere. I used to think there was more to life than hospitals, medicine, insurance, disease, but not anymore, not in America. Edit: Healthy People 2020 is the name of the adult mandatory vaccine program taking shape. www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives/topic/immunization-and-infectious-diseases"Surveillance The Nation’s public health goals focus on reducing illness, hospitalization, and death from vaccine-preventable diseases and other infectious diseases; expanding surveillance is crucial to those ends. Further efforts to improve disease surveillance will allow for earlier detection of the emergence and spread of diseases. Increased surveillance will save lives by allowing the maximum time possible for public health responses, including vaccine production and development of evidence-based recommendations on disease prevention and control. Surveillance enables rapid information sharing and facilitates the timely identification of people in need of immediate treatment. Increasing laboratory capacity is essential for these efforts." This terrifies me. Using surveillance to locate people in "need" of treatment? America is getting scary fast.

Sorry for the late reply Ava Yes, what you wrote reminds me of the topic of bio-terrorism. Sorry if its off topic but I guess the more we pop these medicines such as anti-biotics, don't take them properly and therefore reduce our immunity, we will have a real big problem on our hands. I'll get back to this when I can think more coherently but I do sympathise with the way things are in the US. It must be at the very least annoying.

I've been anxious all day and I am pretty much never like this in the daytime, only in the middle of the night. I've got the "middle of the night" feeling in daytime, which I've always thought would be a miserable existence.
Fortunately it's not 100% continual, just hitting me over and over.
Last week I learned that in Argentina, people cannot obtain a passport, driver's license, or marriage license unless they are up to date with all their adult immunizations. I believe the United States will adopt this policy within the next few years, partly because discussion of the matter is heavily censored, so we cannot prevent a development that we're not really supposed to even see coming.
So, real ID will probably become mandated, or life will be increasingly difficult without it. Medical records will be accessible through real ID. Adult immunizations begin with booster shots for all the standard childhood illnesses, plus flu, and once everyone has adapted to that change, the number of immunization requirements may have no upper limit. I've heard there are over 200 vaccines in the pipeline, waiting for regulatory approval.
As I've tried to say, with too much trust in the regulatory system and not enough attention being paid to what is actually happening, we create a scenario of extreme vulnerability, where people lose the right to their own bodies.
Hopefully I will be able to get by without having to take all the shots. I consider myself medically vulnerable and extremely wary of injections because my system is so sensitive, even aspirin gives me headaches. So I will lose my driver's license, my ability to leave state lines, my medical insurance (probably)...my job?.... and God knows what else. At a certain point I will probably have to capitulate and get the damn shots.
Maybe I sound crazy but I research this all the time. Hopefully people will wake up and choose another path but I doubt it.

Can't say I'm surprised. Re: warranted mistrust of Big Pharma Killer Profits porter.house.gov/uploadedfiles/final_pharma_ma_and_innovation_report_january_2021.pdfRe: Covid vaccinesDr. Whelan was asked to comment on the Covid vaccines before their Emergency Use Authorization. He says: "I am a pediatric specialist caring for children with the multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C). I am concerned about the possibility that the new vaccines aimed at creating immunity against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (including the mRNA vaccines of Moderna and Pfizer) have the potential to cause microvascular injury to the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys in a way that does not currently appear to be assessed in safety trials of these potential drugs." beta.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2020-N-1898-0246>>> The vaccines have been approved in spite of his opinion. Dr. Whelan has exceptional credentials: "Patrick Whelan MD Ph.D. is an Associate Clinical Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Rheumatology at UCLA. He completed his undergraduate degree in biochemistry at Harvard University, the Ph.D. degree at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, and the MD degree at Baylor College of Medicine. He completed rheumatology training at Harvard and was for twenty years a pediatric rheumatologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston." www.uclahealth.org/john-whelan === I've been paying attention to Dr. Tenpenny for years and never expected her to be so "alarmist." Her warning here is essentially the same as what all the other vaccine specialists and advocates have said about the peculiar danger of coronavirus vaccinations as demonstrated repeatedly in the labs. Those prominent doctors (Offit, Hotez) seem to have abandoned their objections while Dr. Tenpenny amplifies them. www.bitchute.com/embed/thgHE7VUsDrn/

Wow reading all this back feels a bit eery. Little did we know, one year later we would be in throws of an actual healthcare crisis!!
I just don't know what to think anymore. I have had my first vaccination (Pfizer). I'm glad I had it but in the back of my mind I worry about what we don't know. I'm sure it'll be fine though, I was told by the nurse when I got mine that it was developed on the back of vaccines that were being developed 10+yrs ago in response to the first SARS outbreak, so it actually isn't that new in the pharmacy world. They just didn't end up using those vaccines.
Isn't it just tiring to think about now...I'm tired of it all. Sorry if that didn't really address anything, I mainly just wanted to express amazement and, well, the longing for the way things were (in some respects).

Re: magnetic covid injection sites odysee.com/@timtruth:b/magnetchallenge:9Of course, it's a "debunked, baseless conspiracy theory." Everyone's just playing games and lying.

The media calls this "misinformation"
Rep Johnson fired back at criticism, "It's called compassion."
His sun conjunct my Jupiter. I like this real world stuff.
Interesting that the people who attended the press conference with vaccine injuries were quick to proclaim their ardent pro-vax status then proceeded to list the exact problems all so-called "antivaxxers" also have with the US system:
- doctors wholesale ignore vaccine injuries, tell you it's all in your head - they don't report to VAERS - a lot of medical professionals say they don't even know what VAERS is

AvaIt is always interesting for me to read different opinions. In this case I grew up in a different health system and I do not know what it is like to be treated like an ?. I do not like doctors and I do not like their opinion so I always go to three or more doctors. The opinion I like I choose to not take the pill. Joking aside there are diseases that can be healed with classical medicine. Like an old friend of mine that has cancer. But sometimes alternative medicine heals way better. Like another friend of mine that lost her mother and had physical pain. She decided to take the path of alternative medicine. For me it is a decision of a human being on how to treat the body and health and nobody else.
