Default Suck on this, pro-vaccination liars

http://breastimplantawareness.blogspot.com
www.breastimplantawareness.org/


There are so many similarities to the breast implant cover-up and the
vaccination cover-up ... sharing public relatiions teams being but
one.

After 12 long years of being bombarded with Pro-Vaccination Propaganda
.... I now believe the unskeptical, commonly claimed belief that those
of us they call 'anti-vaccination" (a misnomer, of course), are
motivated by our (what they misname) 'hatred' of children (and
financial gain) is part of their effort to silence critics. The pseudo
skeptics are based at Quackwatch.com and related pseudo scientific
websistes and blogs.

They, in their fantasy world ... churning out the 'pro-vac'
vaccination industry propaganda at dizzing speeds ... claim to be
'volunteers' motivated only by the highest intentions. It is well
known that Pharma / Chemical Industries spend vast amounts funding
Barrett's ACSH and other Industry backed "chemical industry friendly"
and 'vacciation industry friendly' and highly 'breast implant industry
friendly' biased viewpoints posting as 'science.' Upside Down
Backwards, as usual.
http://www.BreastImplantAwareness.or...watchWatch.htm
http://www.BreastImplantAwareness.or...sRosenthal.htm

Over and over and over ... used by Big Tobacco, used by Breast Implant
Industry, used by Pharma / Vac Industry ... blame the victims and wage
legal and smear campaigns attempting to silence industry critics and
harm their credibility and voice.

This is classic guerrilla warfare ... Here is a bragging Barrett
publishing his War Cry:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quackwatch 'Guerrilla' Tactics

Quoth Stephen J. Barrett, writing in AMA News on August 25, 1975,
describing the Lehigh Valley Committee Against Health Fraud:

"By working "undercover" using assumed names and box numbers, we've
gotten all sorts of information and publications other groups, like
the medical societies, haven't been able to lay their hands on.

....Really, we're a bunch of guerrillas - we're not a large group,
there are about 40 members, but we're the only such group in the
country."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because of my years (now 12+) of raising awareness to the dangers of
breast implants ... I was thrust also into the Vaccination PR team ...
'coicidentally' the same core... Stephen Barrett and his various and
highly questionable Quackwatch (Health Frauds) related websites.

His team is well represented and bully their Industry Viewpoints on
Wikipedia, here on Usenet, and in googlebombing of blogs and websites.

I recently did not participate in ... entitled something about "Bad
News for Anti-Vac Liars" or something equally as inside out, upside
down, backwards and opposite (the Quackwatch Credo).

Barrett is known to have mislabeled the anti-fluoride health lovers,
"Poison Mongers" ... again, inside out, upside down, backwards and
opposite (the Quackwatch Credo).

To see Barrett's deceitful invasion of anti-fluoride groups, please
read this carefully researched expose:

EXCERPT:

http://www.rvi.net/~fluoride/000070.htm

A glimpse into his character can be gained through his habitual use of
words to mean their exact opposite. For example, in an article
entitled "Poison Mongers," Dr. Barrett refers to people who are trying
to stop the addition of fluoride, a poison, to the water supply as
poison-mongers.

MEMOIR OF A JUNK SCIENTIST
by Bernard M. Patten , MD, FACP, FRSM
http://www.humanticsfoundation.com/bernard_patten.htm
See how this highly credentialed physician was treated after
cautionary and revealing breast implant illness information.


Note from Ilena Rosenthal: I first learned about Barrett et al and
his connection with the so called American Council of "Science" and
"Health", by reading a biased propaganda piece published by them under
Stephen Barrett's name regarding Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. They
have steadfastly refused, as medical research demands, to reveal that
the chemical industry funded ACSH - neither "non biased" 'research'
nor appropriate and required disclosure.

List of funders below ... note Dow Chemical, Bristol Myers Squibb,
Merck ... all whose image the Quackwatch etc. Squad attempt to buoy.

The list below includes Barrett and William London Robert Baratz ...
all fellow "Quackbusters" and "Health Frauds."

www.BreastImplantAwareness.org/MCS.htm
Coming Soon

ACSH also publishes a articles, booklets and continual Pro-Dow,
Pro-Silicone pieces regarding the breast implant controversy. They
refuse to admit that Dow funds them on these articles also.

Fumento has several pro-silicone anti-implant women diatribes
masquerading as 'scientific' research ... he frequently quotes Barrett
in his anti-MCS sufferers diatribes (yet) and Barrett's co-writer on
MCS ... chemical backed Ronald Gots.

Junkscience.com was somewhat of an offshoot ... this group gladly
accepting all the money the tobacco industry wanted to throw at them!

Barrett has been an "advisor' to ACSH, a chemical and pharmaceutical
funded front group for decades, tho, always denying any connection.
