    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    Viagra won't help you ask relevant questions. Cialis either. When was the last time you saw a commercial to ask your doctor if an antibiotic was right for you? Never? I thought so.

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    Not only is your question irrelevant, it's also poorly phrased. Depends on the actual dose, which varies, where in the world you are, and if you're purchasing the name brand Zyvox or a generic. The price of antibiotics is not what has driven antibiotic resistance, it's the subclincal dosing...

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    Not to mention, the antibiotic use avoided. Without vaccines, we'd be facing an even greater dilemma than we currently are from the increasing resistance to a wide variety of drug classes.

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    rBGH isn't banned in Canada because the hormone is unsafe, it's banned because increasing milk production in cows is an animal welfare concern. The reason you can use it in beef cows but not in dairy cows is not related to human health. Increasing milk production causes more mastitis infections...

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    If the FDA were into profits using nefarious means, they would never send out warning letters, or consent decree letters. And the FDA doesn't make money...they cost money to run. You're keen to post information about pharmaceuticals using FDA figures, and suddenly when it's for some shill...

    China announces Carbon tax

    Well, I seem to remember some saying that China would never willingly put in place policies that slow their growth. It was BS then, and still is. With China moving forward with a price on carbon emissions, that pretty much destroys one of the most popular do-nothing talking points. Global...

    Profit model school caught deleting bad grades

    An interesting report of a Tennessee for-profit school caught deleting failing grades: Republican-backed for-profit school caught deleting bad student grades | The Raw Story So much for the superior metrics and performance standards. There is nothing accurate about deleting performance records.

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    Oh more rubbish. First of all, outer membrane vesicles aren't a type of pathogenic bacteria. They aren't even a type of bacteria. They are vesicles...which the cells in our body also have. Some gram negative bacteria have outer membrane vesicles associated with virulence factors, which is what...

    More Fun with Facts from Fox and Friends

    According to Shibani Joshi, a Fox Business reporter, Germany has a very successful solar industry (30% of electric power generation) compared to the US because they receive more sunlight than the US, and not because Germany has feed-in tariiffs that mandate utilities to accept solar generation...

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    I already gave you the real story. No vaccine is injected into the blood stream, and just as with the digestive system, material that is injected in vaccines is also broken down by various bodily functions and excreted.

    Death knell for AGW

    Not really amazing, but why should someone who is too lazy to even investigate the amount of snow Flagstaff Arizona receives be diligent enough to learn about radiative physics? Lesson for the day, seasonal changes are larger in magnitude than the climate change signal produced by the enhanced...
