"Why are vaccines the only sacred cow produced by pharma?" In context this surely seems correct to say; while - in the greater picture, the large corporations with their counter intelligence operations take many many strategic actions over the years to make many of their sales items "sacred cows" that we all should "pretend" (as you say) about - never question in certain ways (such as in depth, rationally, with effective and clear communication).
The "second generation" "antidepressants" (their words invented by them for us to use...) are sales products that additionally are not to be questioned.
Circa 1985 they (Psychiatry/Psychopharmacology/Drug Industry) were aware that Prozac (fluoxetine with 3 fluorine atoms per molecule) causes suicidal and homicidal ideation. (See: Internet search, "Baum Hedlund Law" hidden company documents fluoxetine).
In October of 1987 Prozac is Introduced to the U.S.A. Market by the F.D.A. and Eli Lilly (connected to the House of Bush).
In 1989 L-Trytophan the immediate precursor to Serotonin was banned by the F.D.A. for many years to come. (See: Internet search, Profits and Prozac. by Dean Wolfe Manders, Ph.D.)
In 2008 Fredrick Goodwin, M.D. former N.I.M.H. Director (of fenfluramine testing on adolescents fame) and Host of the N.P.R. Radio show "The Infinite Mind" had a segment on his NPR program that "featured four prestigious medical experts discussing the controversial link between antidepressants and suicide. In their considered opinions, all four said that worries about the drugs have been overblown." (See: Stealth Marketing and Public Radio by Jeanne Lenzer and Shannon Brownlee).
So they faked their "Scientific tests," manipulating data on safety, and hiding negative test results, and hiding test information on suicidality. They moved to suppress the chemical product that was a food extract of an essential aminoacid that's the immediate precursor to Serotonin -and excluded that as a very concept from both Medical literature and other media.
20 years after they knew, prior to marketing, that the SSRIs were causing suicidal and homicidal ideation, they were using positions such as this program on National Public Radio and their "Peer Review Journal" Neuropsychopharmacology, (See: Internet search, Vera Sharav ACNP) to portray the idea of "a link" as questionable, "controversial" and new.
Meanwhile they have multiple operations such as TeenScreen, and the MOTHERS Act, and the above media manipulation, etc., to increase "SSRI" Drugging Products sales to young people, pregnant and nursing women.
The idea that nearly all of these School Shootings (and murder suicides) have a antidepressant is one that is left out of the National News stories. In a Country with Actual Communication the News Reporters would be by now expected to immediately ask were they recently on an antidepressant and which one? (Actions are obviously taken to squelch this obvious reaction and subvert the News media and general understanding and communication.)
So that is the general terrible state of Scientific Medicine. Influenced by Super Rich autocratic folk and by the employment of large professional PR firms coordinating with International Petrochemical Medical Industrial Corporations.
The strong possibility exists that these people, posting to "the Democratic Underground" are not addleminded people who thought they would enjoy spending their lives throwing mud pies at Anti-vaccine Individuals, unlike me... are... paid. The Gods did not whisper in their ears that their mission is to go forth and valiantly fight the Great Beast of the conspiracy to oppose wonderful multiple simultaneous vaccinations. The possibility exists that there is a paycheck involved.

Linus Pauling writes, "This sentence, like others in the report, shows the presumably unconscious bias of the task force. "Promulgate" (misused here) is a pejorative word, and "catch phrases" is a pejorative expression."
Polite and thoughtful Pauling writes of their "Presumably unconscious bias" that is leading them to resort to such usage of pejorative phrase and names. Now it is known that in Propaganda pieces many such gambits that are employed are presumably conscious. (Including especially as found in propaganda on Linus Pauling and the Orthomolecular Clinicians; and other such honest responsible modern treatment advocates.)
In the article Propaganda and How to Recognize it 2005 by Ronald B. Skinner, Skinner writes of
Name Calling: In name calling, one pastes a pejorative label on the enemy. "For example, a politician who supports law-and-order could criticize his opponent as a "card-carrying ACLU member". A politician who disagrees with a judge can label him/her as "a liberal activist judge". Sarcasm and ridicule often accompany name calling.

Another way to denigrate someone is to call them "unprofessional"...
... The effect of having these anti-rational mud-slingers and disingenuous textual manipulators employed and deployed ubiquitously is to jam communication, thought, actions and idea formation by people who could, and would be, much more functional.
People should deal in actual communication and not have to consider walls of pretend communication created merely to con them and disable their communication.
I saw William Walsh speak in Salem Oregon on Metals in Autism, Schizophrenia and Sociopathy. He worked with Carl C. Pfieffer Ph.D., M.D. for a few short years prior to his death. Walsh assisted in the studies of metals.
Walsh said of chelation to remove Mercury in Autism that an analogy was being in a fort that is being overrun by enemies coming in the open front gate. Throwing the enemies over the walls isn't enough and the gates have to be closed.
He said that the way that you tell if a person has too much mercury in their system is to do a hair mineral test and if their is not enough mercury in the hair then they are not eliminating it in their hair and they have too much mercury. He said some large amount that everyone was breathing/ingesting per day, Walsh may have said a Milligram per day.
He said that their group had discovered a sophisticated bodily Metals-Control-System... "Metallothioneins."
He said that you could have two identical siblings living in the same family, the same circumstances, eating the same foods - and one would be well and the other not and metals testing would show the metals all wrong.
He said that chelation was not adequate and that the metals control system often needs to be healed by specific treatment actions.
Vaccines and the mercury and the mercury in them were not the whole story by any means. Often this breaking of the Metals Control Operations was a key issue. The Multiple Vaccinations could be one factor in the person's breakdown whilst this might be in conjunction with other harms such as Deficiencies, and Viral Infections.
William Walsh said that the Metallothione system is found in both the Intestines and around the brain. The bad reactions to gluten and casein (small molecules coming through the intestinal walls) was tied to this breakdown of the metal controlling system. He said that the metallothione system was also tied up with the final maturation of certain neurons in the brain and that bringing the metallothionine system into healthful functioning resulted in Autistic people having these brain neurons, that had never fully matured, finally finish the growth stage years late resulting in the people functioning much better.
Such grand statements were made in the context of a long and intelligent speech and did not stand-out especially from all the rest.
This being The Democratic Underground I hope to find thoughtful writings from people who have spent some effort looking into topics and bringing forth their communications intended to be good either for Democracy or at least for the benefit of the Earth and People.
Here's some material that appears to me to reflect sincere Modern Medicine (as compared to the billion dollar public relations firms' ghostwritten or operative-written opinion-influencing language-of-health pieces.) Russell Blaylock, M.D. is a retired Neurosurgeon, very interesting. He has an article, Doctor: Dangers of Prescription Drugs where he points out that it is not just SSRI's that are causing insanity and suicide but fluorinated drugs in general are trouble. (Fluorine is not actually part of the biomolecules found in life, right? Too high energy to work with (outside of Industry and Nuclear Power)). SAM SMITH, in the PROGRESSIVE REVIEW 2007 has an aptly named article that quotes Dr. Blaylock, THE ELEPHANT IN THE MORGUE, that speaks to the issue of how the issue of S.S.R.I.s being connected to almost all the murder suicide and school shootings is left out of the published considerations in the U.S.A. as an issue.
