    I don't know anything about the doctor or the claims against him(i have to admit that they make him sound like a crook). I have heard several testimonies from scientists/whistleblowers who's careers were ruined and work discredited by the big Pharma because there research would destroy them. I am a firm believer in the potential evil of people especially when big money is involved. Big pharma doesn't have a perfect track record either (think the opioid crisis).

    I agree about big pharma but this has nothing to do with it. You have these folks running around out there stoking these anti vac fears and you read what they write and they sound very convincing but when you closely look at them and the evidence they present you find the errors and twisted facts and that's why so many of them are no longer in the field they once practiced.

    No different than all the folks who think Fluoride in water will kill them or mercury in dental filling will kill you too.

    Default Floride

    Some said Floride was a communist plot!
    This was back in the 50s

    My city of Walla Walla doesn't add Floride, but it's naturally occurring in the water here.

    Everything is poisonous in the right dose or dentists wouldn't take so many precautions handling mercury.
    The right dose can be very small if someone is sensitive/allergic to a substance.

    I'm taking no chances. I just read this, got scared, and poured-out all my Florida Water -- you can't be too careful.

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    I work in big pharma. There is a lot of BS always going round about us burying miraculuous cures, suppressing research etc.
    It is true that we are in it for the money. And that is exactly why you can know those claims to be silly.
    If ANY company would find a cure for cancer, or aids, or something else, they would fight each other to get to the patent office first, and rake in trillions.

    The idea that some person's research would destroy a pharma company is a fairy tale.
    The biggest thing wrong with pharma is that assholes like Skrelli can buy single providers and jack up the price by 600%

    The 'cheap' stuff is where the abuse is. Not the expensive stuff. One of the products we make is a very complex thing to make. It needs to be babysat through up to 2 months in bioreactors needing constant attention. It requires a half billion dollar plant, several hundred employees, tens of millions of $ in upkeep, ... for not even 2500 patients worldwide. It took also close to a decade from breaking ground to regulatory approval. It should be obvious why a treatment is around 100K per person per year.

    Companies like where I work for make a sport out of buying promising startups and getting their product to market. They LOVE small startups who make promising new products. Rather than stomping them out, they rush to be first to buy them out.
