Anthrax
The FDA’s acceptance of Brachman’s 1950s anthrax research: Good politics? Maybe. Good science? No.
In December 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released its Final Order on anthrax vaccine, declaring it to be 92.5 percent effective for preventing both inhalation and cutaneous anthrax infections.

When Finding Nothing Is Wonderful
Scientists are expected to discover things. They are applauded when they do and sometimes ostracized when they don’t.
Mainstream researchers investigating the connection between autism and the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, however, seem pleased when they find nothing. They hurry to publish their “findings” to the jubilation of “authorities.”
Influenza
Calculating U.S. Influenza Deaths
For years, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been telling anyone who would listen: “Every year in the United States, on average: 5 percent to 20 percent of the population gets the flu, more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications, and about 36,000 people die from flu.”

Shaking Wrong Beliefs
The medical controversies section of the recent issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (1) features three outstanding articles on the more and more controversial subject of shaken baby syndrome (SBS).
Together, these papers contribute immensely to the understanding of this obscure syndrome by debunking assumptions that have been accepted for some time as “proof” of abuse of young and innocent infants:

The Controversial Smallpox Vaccine
Eighteen Points You Should Consider
- Smallpox is a serious disease and it would be great to prevent it. A very old vaccine exists, derived from the pustules of calf bellies inoculated with an old strain of-we think-a cowpox virus lost in antiquity. Edward Jenner came up with the idea of vaccination after realizing milk maids Read this story > > >
Thimerosal
Interview with Boyd E. Haley: Biomarkers supporting mercury toxicity as the major exacerbator of neurological illness, recent evidence via the urinary porphyrin tests
In the recent past, several biological finds have supported the hypothesis that early exposure of infants to Thimerosal was the major exacerbation factor in the increase in autism-related disorders since the advent of the mandated vaccine program. These initially included the observations of a genetic susceptibility impairing the excretion of mercury and the increased retention of mercury by autistic children.
