IFPMA Millennium Development Goals
In 2000, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set out in motion a landmark political agenda from the highest levels of national governments to be achieved by 2015. Through eight overarching goals, governments and international organizations committed to improving the social and economic conditions especially in the world's poorest countries. A recent report from the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) looked at several of these goals, which strongly relate to life science companies. Specifically, the report looked at goals related to:
Reducing child mortality

Dogs And Cows And Toxic Vials, That’s What Vaccines Are Made Of!
Conclusion
It is apparent that our vaccinations include some very strange and unsavoury ingredients. The three single vaccines were certainly not the only vaccines I came across containing parts of animals, humans and insects. In fact, I found a huge list of them on a PDF which I have included as extra research.
For some reason, many parents are perfectly happy to have their tiny babies vaccinated with everything from insect cells to pigs’ gelatin, without a moment’s hesitation, arguing that the vaccines are to protect their children and keep them strong and healthy. Others remain totally unaware of the vaccine...

What Every Pediatric Practice Manager Needs to Know About Vaccine Inventory
This is a guest post by Paul Vanchiere. He is the co-founder of Pediatric Practice Institute, a pediatric centric service company that helps practices and healthcare networks leverage their success and maximize their potential.
I recently took a trip to The Home Depot to round up some supplies for a project. While there, I noticed an army of people with laptops attached to rolling carts counting the inventory.
It got me thinking about pediatric practices and the need to ensure tight inventory controls.While Home Depot does this for a variety of tax reasons, it is also part of its program to ensure that its inventory le...

Seven Year-Old Vaccine-Injured Boy Refused Compensation For Not Being Disabled Enough
Conclusion
When it comes to compensation, many of the world’s governments shirk their responsibilities and turn a blind eye to suffering families. Families are repeatedly encouraged to apply for compensation even though the governments are fully aware that they will be refused compensation when they do.
It is families like the Hadfields who need the money the most. Josh is a child who has clearly been injured after receiving a vaccination recommended by the government and yet his family has been refused compensation because the VDPU has deemed him as not disabled enough. How disabled does a child have to be, for goodness...

These Weird New Tricks Are Being Used to Vaccinate Your Child
Conclusion
Let’s face it – vaccinations are big business. Wherever we go or whatever we do, the pharmaceutical industries have arrived there first with their vaccination propaganda. Whether we believe in vaccination or not, the majority of us would likely agree that vaccinations are probably the most advertised commodity on our planet.
Year in and year out we are faced with ads for the flu vaccine, the HPV vaccine and the MMR. Ads appear on billboards, in our stores, in magazines and at the movies. The pharmaceutical industries and our governments have even stooped to an all-time low by peddling their wares to ...

The Quacktitioner Royal is a threat to constitutional government and to the health of the nation
This article has appeared, in nearly identical form, on the UK Conversation . You can leave comments there or here.
The modern major-general
A constitutional monarch is purely ceremonial and plays no part in politics. Well actually in the UK it isn’t quite as simple as that. The first problem is that we have no constitution. Things haven’t changed much since the 19th century when Walter Bagehot said "the Sovereign has, under a constitutional monarchy… three rights—the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn."
These are not inconsiderable power...

Vaccines, Depression, and Type-1 Diabetes—Going Beyond Your Doctor
CONCLUSIONS
As per doctor recommendation, I would receive flu shots, my children would continue to be vaccinated, I would live through the nightmare of antidepressants, and our daughter would receive uncontrollable amounts of insulin that caused frequent and potentially life-threatening side effects. Doctors can be dead wrong, partially right, and completely right in their diagnosis, analysis, and treatment recommendations. As per my own research and in consulting with experts, I will never receive a flu shot again, and my children will not be vaccinated again until independent studies proof safety and effectiveness of vac...

These Tricks Are Played to Get You to Vaccinate Your Child
Conclusion
Despite the fact that study after study confirms that vaccinated children are no more protected than their unvaccinated peers, governments from around the world, hand-in-hand with Big Pharma and the medical professionals, keep coming up with more elaborate ways to force parents into vaccinating their children.
I find it very sad that governments are so keen to boost vaccination targets that they are denying parents the ability to earn a livelihood by denying their children’s admittance into day care. This seems to me to be over the top and completely unnecessary. How do governments expect parents to be abl...

MMR action plan: 15 May 2013
This plan outlines a comprehensive set of local and national actions
to significantly increase MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine
coverage among those most at risk. It highlights the need for directors
of public health to take a local view about the particularly vulnerable
or low coverage groups, and to ensure that there are specific plans in
place to identify the un- or undervaccinated in these groups and to
offer them vaccination in a way designed to have good uptake.
