Maybe SOME Good News from the FDA

What is your estimate of the percentage of doctors for vaccines vs. against vaccines?

It is germane to the overall point, nutjob!

What do you know about the education doctors receive? Doctors Against Vaccines: The Other Side of the Story is Not Being Told

Were the majority of doctors for medicinal marijuana? Yes. Is that why the law changed in many states? No. The ā€œsystemā€ is in charge. The way it changes is if the public stands up and demands it. Are both sides of the vaccine debate being told?

ha. hahahah. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.

Quite a bit, actually.

I’m a PhD epidemiologist and the director of biostatistics for the Heart and Vascular Institute of a major multi-center hospital system (before that, I worked in a similar role for Women’s Research Hospital). I spend literally every single day working with doctors. I’ve written 60 (and counting) research papers with obstetricians, gynecologists, oncologists, cardiologists, and cardiothoracic surgeons. I’ve also worked with medical students, residents, and fellows in their early career as they built a research portfolio.

So, to answer your question, I know almost as much about the education doctors receive as doctors themselves.

Ahem…It seems to me a very important specialty is missing from this list…

Ha! I’ve not had the pleasure. Certainly a possibility someday, if the right opportunity presents itself, or if someone who needs a statistician-for-hire picks me up on the side…

I think you’re getting way ahead of yourself. If I have to pay this guy to get his opinion, would it really be fair if I give mine for free?

If this is true, maybe your not aware of this Is Drug-Company Money Tainting Medical Education? - TIME

So I suppose this has nothing to do with reality? As medical students are increasingly subjected to pharmaceutical marketing throughout their education, their skepticism towards the practices of the pharmaceutical industry gradually diminishes. Multiple studies report a relationship between exposure to the pharmaceutical industry and positive attitudes about industry interactions.

And you don’t pay doctors for their opinion influenced by Big Pharma?

Of course I do, otherwise they wouldn’t give it. But what if Big Pharma has influenced mr. wheatbelly? The plot thickens…

And where is the evidence as he usually against Big Pharma? Plenty of articles explaining the complications and conflicts of interest. Dollars for Doctors — ProPublica

Aw, so you already knew about his conflicts of interest! The web of lies is a danger to us all, who is pulling all the strings? And why???

I notice that you completely skipped over the Dr. Davis question. Yes I know the web of lies told to us by Big Pharma is dangerous. All in the quest for more money as that is what is most important. What has it brought us? The most expensive healthcare system in the world the ranks 37th in overall outcomes. Man we are so lucky to have the only ā€œfree marketā€ healthcare system in the industrialized world. So many benefits. I’m blushing!

Did I? I’ll try to clarify for you.

He is for profits. Who else do we know are for profits? So who is he in bed with?

The difference, which you don’t seem to get, is that he is not letting Big Pharma dictate his recommendations. Furthermore he is not trying to delay or stop other methods of healthcare from coming to the market so it can keep up his profits. I hope this isn’t too complicated for you to understand.

Now something spectacular for ya all, a whole family of liars or a family who didn’t have time to wait on the glacial pace of the U.S. ā€œhealthcareā€ system so they took matters in their own hands and had to go outside this country for help.

Hi ED,

Out of curiosity, any chance you’re involved in a Phase III trial for GA secondary to AMD? The two I’m thinking of are 5 amendments deep and involve subjects getting either stabbed or shammed q4-6wks.
