<p>(<a href="https://www.naturalnews.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Natural News</a>) Amazon may have paid nearly $1 billion for the online pharmacy, PillPack, but what is the real cost of this acquisition going to be <em>for consumers</em>? In the aftermath of Amazon’s lofty purchase, three of the largest pharmacies in the U.S. (Walgreen’s, CVS and Rite Aid) <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/28/walgreens-cvs-shares-tank-after-amazon-buys-online-pharmacy-pillpack.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lost a collective $11 billion</a> in market value <em>in one day</em>. The stench of “corporate monopoly” is in the air — and it’s coming from Amazon.</p>
<p>Some might argue that Amazon is <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-stock-price-not-a-monopoly-2017-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not considered to be a full-blown monopoly quite yet</a>; Wal-Mart still reigns as the nation’s largest retailer. But estimates suggest Amazon will surpass the nation’s favorite discount retail store within five or ten years. Further, Amazon has cemented itself across multiple markets, with the sole intent of taking over. In truth, Amazon is more than a monopoly: It’s a threat.</p>
<p>Funnily enough, Wal-Mart was reportedly in talks with PillPack about a possible acquisition — before Amazon outbid them.</p>
<h2>“MONOPOLY” IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT</h2>
<p>It’s increasingly hard to ignore the fact that Amazon has its fingers in just about every pot: From purchasing Whole Foods to acquiring PillPack, it’s clear that the corporation isn’t just playing to win — they’re playing to take over.</p>
<p>There’s no denying that Amazon has changed the way many people shop for everyday items — and with the purchasing of an online pharmacy, Amazon is paving the way to change how people shop for medicine, too.</p>
<p>CEO Stefano Pessina reportedly commented on Amazon’s purchase of PillPack. He stated,”Yes, it’s a declaration of intent from Amazon.”</p>

<p>“[But] the pharmacy world is much more complex than the delivery of a certain [pills or] packages,” he added</p>
<p><a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/amazon-doesnt-just-want-to-dominate-the-market-it-wants-to-become-the-market/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Writing for <em>The Nation</em></a>, Stacey Mitchell notes that Amazon isn’t just a retailer; in addition to the myriad of things Amazon now does (like producing TV shows, publishing books, delivering food, selling advertising space and managing data from U.S. intelligence agencies), Amazon was built by Jeff Bezos for a more sinister purpose.</p>
<p>“Bezos has designed his company for a far more radical goal than merely dominating markets; he’s built Amazon to replace them. His vision is for Amazon to become the underlying infrastructure that commerce runs on,” Mitchell contends. The online conglomerate already takes in half of all online retail sales — and Amazon Web Services boasts over 30 percent of the world’s cloud computing capacity.</p>
<p>Amazon already controls key pieces of commerce infrastructure — and now, it’s looking to gain control of all the major markets. And with this, there will be trouble for consumers and producers alike. Amazon cares about profits and total domination– nothing else.</p>
<h2>AMAZON ZOOMS IN ON TAKING OVER THE DRUG INDUSTRY</h2>
<p>Whatever Amazon touches, it plans on taking over — there’s little doubt about that. Now that the corporation has secured a spot in the pharmaceutical industry, what will happen next? Mike Adams, founder of <em>Natural News</em> and Director of <a href="http://www.cwclabs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CWC Labs</a>, wrote about <a href="https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-08-03-jeff-bezos-wants-to-be-your-medication-dealer-amazon-goes-all-in-with-big-pharma-to-take-over-the-drug-retail-industry.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the calamity of Big Pharma and Amazon joining forces</a> nearly a year ago.</p>
<p>The Health Ranger posited that when Amazon entered the drug market, it wouldn’t take long for them to “start pushing <a href="http://psychiatry.news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">psychiatric medications</a>, deadly <a href="http://statins.news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statin drugs</a>, toxic chemotherapy drugs (modeled after chemical weapons), addictive <a href="http://opioids.news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opioids</a> and the mass drugging of children for profit.”</p>
<p>“This is the new Amazon, where <em>Prime</em> delivery means that flying DRONES will deliver all the chemical medications needed to turn the population into <strong>biological drones</strong>. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, America will soon become a <em>zombieland</em> of drugged-out, stupefied mass consumers who are oblivious to reality,” Adams continued.</p>
<p>Once Amazon <a href="https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-11-13-amazon-quietly-moving-to-take-over-the-pharmaceutical-retail-business-as-jeff-bezos-seeks-to-profit-the-death-disease-and-suffering-caused-by-big-pharma.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has dominated the prescription drug-selling industry</a>, how long will it take for them to just stop selling (or maybe even ban) the sale of health-supporting supplements and natural medicines? You can bet that Amazon will use its ever-growing power to influence not only the market place, but policies and legislation. The corporate takeover is already happening, and Amazon is poising itself to be at the helm.</p>

<p> The Food and Drug Administration has approved limited use of the powerful and frequently abused painkiller OxyContin for children as young as 11 years old, the agency announced Thursday.</p>
<p>Dr. Sharon Hertz, director of new anesthesia, analgesia and addiction products for the FDA, said studies by Purdue Pharma of Stamford, Connecticut, which manufactures the drug, “supported a new pediatric indication for OxyContin in patients 11 to 16 years old and provided prescribers with helpful information about the use of OxyContin in pediatric patients.”</p>
<p>OxyContin is a long-release version of oxycodone, an opioid that acts on the brain like heroin and is intended for only the most severe and chronic pain cases.</p>
<p>Because oxycodone and other opioids are extremely powerful and highly addictive, they’re very tightly regulated — and very popular with addicts and pill pushers.</p>
<p>Purdue reformulated OxyContin five years ago to make it harder for patients to crush the pills for a fast high.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/NewsEvents/ucm456973.htm">Hertz said the FDA was putting strict limits</a> on the use of OxyContin in children. Unlike adults, children must already have shown that they can handle the drug by tolerating a minimum dose equal to 20 milligrams of oxycodone for five consecutive days, she said.</p>
<p>“We are always concerned about the safety of our children, particularly when they are ill and require medications and when they are in pain,” she said. “OxyContin is not intended to be the first opioid drug used in pediatric patients, but the data show that changing from another opioid drug to OxyContin is safe if done properly.”</p>
<p>The only other opioid approved for children is the Duragesic patch, which releases fentanyl.</p>

<p><a href="http://govtslaves.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Adult-Vaccine.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-40006" src="http://govtslaves.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Adult-Vaccine.jpg" alt="Adult-Vaccine" width="800" height="532"/></a></p>
<hr/><p> In case you haven’t noticed, there’s an incremental push right now by the controlling elite to force vaccinations on <i>all</i> Americans, both young and old. And this agenda is gaining considerable traction in California, where legislators are now moving forward with plans to force childhood vaccines on all adults who work in daycare centers, both private and public.</p>
<p>Senate Bill 792, also known as the “Day care facilities: immunizations: exemptions” act, was presented quietly alongside SB 277, which eliminates personal, philosophical and religious vaccine exemptions for children who attend both private and public schools in the Golden State. The bill, as recently heard by the California Assembly Human Services Committee, reads as follows:</p>
<p><i>This bill, commencing September 1, 2016, would prohibit a day care center or a family day care home from employing any person who has not been immunized against influenza, pertussis, and measles.</i></p>
<p>If passed, SB 792 would represent the first <i>adult</i> vaccine mandate in the U.S. that disallows exemptions for personal reasons, and that threatens <i>criminal penalties</i> for those who fail or refuse to comply. Here’s how <i>Vaccine Impact</i> describes SB 792:<br/><i><br/>SB 792, would eliminate an adult’s right to exempt themselves from one, some, or all vaccines, a risk-laden medical procedure.</i><br/><i><br/>This bill would make California the first state to require mandated vaccinations for all childcare workers, including all private and public school early childhood education programs (Headstart, Private preK and preschools), family daycares, and daycare centers.</i></p>
<h1>SB 792 represents medical violence against adults</h1>
<p>An affront to both medical and religious liberty, SB 792 appears to be the wave of the future in New America, where the perceived health of the “herd” is now more important than the health of the individual. Never before in the history of the United States have legislators pushed this hard to literally <i>force</i> <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/vaccine.html">vaccine</a> injections on the public under duress.</p>
<p>But why do they feel the need to do this if vaccines really work and are truly safe as claimed? The answer is that vaccines <i>aren’t</i> safe and effective, and more people than ever are acknowledging this truth and opting out of the “requirements” of the system through vaccine exemptions, hence the rush to eliminate these exemptions as quickly as possible, starting with <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/California.html">California</a>.</p>
<p>“This bill eliminates medical autonomy, crushes religious freedom, undermines personal freedom, and burdens quality providers with a non-optional series of medical interventions in the form of mandated vaccines that are not even 100% effective,” adds <i>Vaccine Impact</i>.</p>
<h1>Contact California legislators and say NO to SB 792</h1>
<p>As of this writing, SB 792 awaits a hearing by California’s Committee on Appropriations, having recently passed through the Assembly Human Services Committee with a 6-1 vote. <a href="http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotesClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB792" target="_blank">The official vote tally</a> reveals that the following members of this committee voted in FAVOR of passing SB 792:</p>
<p>Ian C. Calderon<br/>Kansen Chu<br/>Patty Lopez<br/>Brian Maienschein<br/>Mark Stone<br/>Tony Thurmond</p>
<p>You can contact the above individuals <a href="http://vaccineimpact.com/2015/california-now-wants-to-be-first-state-to-mandate-adult-vaccines-criminal-penalties-for-those-who-refuse/" target="_blank">here</a> and let them know how you feel about their betrayal of medical freedom in California.</p>
<p>You can also contact the individual members of the Committee on Appropriations and tell them to vote AGAINST SB 792 by visiting: <a href="http://apro.assembly.ca.gov/membersstaff" target="_blank">pro.assembly.ca.gov</a></p>
<p>If Americans sit idly by while corrupt legislators pass incremental bills like SB 277 and SB 792, it will only be a matter of time before even <i>stricter</i> bills come along mandating vaccinations for additional groups of people, until eventually <i>everyone</i> is forced into being vaccinated by the state for the benefit of “public health.”</p>
<p>“Laws like these are forging a burden of responsibility that is collectively shared by everyone,” writes Joshua Krause for GlobalResearch.ca.</p>
<p>“It won’t be long before they try to force <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/vaccines.html">vaccines</a> on every adult and child in California. And if they pull it off there, legislators in other states will try to see if they can use the sheepish tyranny of majority rule to force vaccines on their citizens as well.”</p>

<p>Starting this fall, seventh-graders who do not get the vaccine will not be allowed to attend school unless their parents seek an exemption for medical or religious reasons, the Providence Journal reported Tuesday.</p>
<p>Tricia Washburn, chief of the office of immunization for the <a href="http://health.ri.gov/" target="_blank">Rhode Island Department of Health</a>, said the Centers for Disease Control found no safety concerns with the vaccine.</p>
<p>“The bottom line is that HPV is the most sexually transmitted disease in the U.S.” she said. “We are interested in protecting the public health. We feel it shouldn’t be treated any differently than any of the other vaccines recommended by the CDC.”</p>
<p>She said the Department of Health mandated the vaccine, unlike most states, because Rhode Island incorporates all CDC-recommended vaccines into the state’s school immunization regulations. Rhode Island joins Virginia and Washington, D.C. in requiring the vaccine.</p>
<p>The Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit focusing on national health issues, said there are more than 14 million new infections every year. The virus is linked to genital cancers, particularly cervical cancer in women.</p>
<p>But Christy Ciesla, of Providence, a doctor of physical therapy who specializes in women’s health, said “there really isn’t any good data that this vaccine actually prevents cancer.”</p>
<p>In a study of 86,000 children, Ciesla said the research found the vaccine prevented some cervical abnormalities that could lead to cancer.</p>
<p>“If I knew this vaccine would prevent cancer,” she said, “I would definitely consider it.”</p>
<p>Some concerned parents have begun to petition repeal the regulation through a Facebook group called Rhode Islanders Against Mandated HPV Vaccinations.</p>
<p>The state will hold hearings in August to give parents information and answer their questions.</p>

<h1 class="article-title">CDC Scientist: ‘We scheduled Meeting To Destroy Vaccine-Autism Study Documents</h1>
<p> A current Centers for Disease Control (CDC) senior scientist has made an unprecedented admission: he and his colleagues–he says– committed scientific misconduct to cover up a meaningful link between vaccines and autism in black boys.</p>
<p>Just as startling, the CDC scientist, Dr. William Thompson, says the study co-authors “scheduled a meeting to destroy documents related to the study. The remaining four co-authors all met and brought a big garbage can into the meeting room, and reviewed and went through all the hardcopy documents that we had thought we should discard, and put them into a huge garbage can.”</p>
<div class="woo-sc-quote"><p>The…co-authors…brought a big garbage can into the meeting room… [and put the documents]…into a huge garbage can. –CDC Senior Scientist Dr. William Thompson</p>
</div>
<p>Despite this whistleblower testimony, which Dr. Thompson provided to Rep. Bill Posey, R-Florida, there is little chance of a meaningful hearing or investigation.</p>
<p><a href="https://sharylattkisson.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/800px-Bill_Posey.jpg"><img class="wp-image-2889" src="https://sharylattkisson.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/800px-Bill_Posey-680x1024.jpg" alt="Rep. Bill Posey, R-Florida" width="550" height="828"/></a></p>
<p>In an untainted news environment, the allegations would make headlines in most legitimate publications and would trigger federal inquiries. However, the interests of the powerful pharmaceutical industry reach deeply into Congress and the news media through lobbyists, propaganda and advertising dollars.</p>
<div class="woo-sc-quote"><p>The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. –CDC Senior Scientist Dr. William Thompson</p>
</div>
<p>That’s why Congressman Posey resorted to simply reading some of Dr. Thompson’s statement today on the House floor…including the part in which Dr. Thompson says he retained the evidence that had been thrown in the garbage can, in the unlikely event that a neutral investigative or scientific body would like to see it today.</p>
<p>“[B]ecause I assumed it was illegal and would violate both FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] and DOJ [Department of Justice] requests, I kept hardcopies of all documents in my office, and I retain all associated computer files,” Posey quotes Dr. Thompson as reporting.</p>
<p>The CDC and Thompson’s co-author Dr. Frank DeStefano, CDC Director of Immunization Safety, have defended the controversial study as originally published. <a href="https://sharylattkisson.com/audio-cdc-addresses-allegations-on-vaccine-autism-link-omission/" target="_blank">Dr. DeStefano explains why here</a> in detail.</p>
<p>One final note: Rep. Posey unequivocally states that he is pro-vaccine. However, the propaganda campaign typically falsely portrays anyone who addresses vaccine safety issues as “anti-vaccine.”</p>

<p><strong>Rep. Posey’s entire statement about Dr. Thompson:</strong></p>
<p>“I rise today on matters of scientific integrity and research. To begin with, I am absolutely, resolutely, pro-vaccine. Advancements in medical immunization have saved countless and greatly benefitted public health. That being said, it’s troubling to me that in a recent Senate hearing on childhood vaccinations, it was never mentioned that our government has paid out over $3 billion through a vaccine injury compensation program for children who have been injured by vaccinations.</p>
<p>“Regardless of the subject matter, parents making decisions about their children’s health deserve to have the best information available to them. They should be able to count on federal agencies to tell them the truth. For these reasons, I bring the following matter to the House floor.</p>
<p>“In August 2014, Dr. William Thompson, a senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, worked with a whistleblower attorney to provide my office with documents related to a 2004 CDC study that examined the possibility of a relationship between [the] mumps, measles, rubella vaccine and autism. In a statement released in August, 2014, Dr. Thompson stated, ‘I regret that my co-authors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics.’</p>
<p>“Mr. Speaker, I respectfully request the following excepts from the statement written by Dr. Thompson be entered into the record.</p>
<p>“Now quoting Dr. Thompson.</p>
<p>“‘My primary job duties while working in the immunization safety branch from 2000 to 2006, were to later co-lead three major vaccine safety studies. The MADDSP, MMR autism cases control study was being carried out in response to the Wakefield-Lancet study that suggested an association between the MMR vaccine and an autism-like health outcome. There were several major concerns among scientists and consumer advocates outside the CDC in the fall of 2000, regarding the execution of the Verstraeten Study. One of the important goals that was determined up front, in the spring of 2001, before any of these studies started, was to have all three protocols vetted outside the CDC prior to the start of the analyses so consumer advocates could not claim that we were presenting analyses that suited our own goals and biases. We hypothesized that if we found statistically significant effects at either 18 or 36 month thresholds, we would conclude that vaccinating children early with MMR vaccine could lead to autism-like characteristics or features. We all met and finalized the study protocol and analysis plan. The goal was to not deviate from the analysis plan to avoid the debacle that occurred with the Verstraeten thimerosal study published in Pediatrics in 2003.</p>
<p>‘At the Sept 5th meeting we discussed in detail how to code race for both the sample and the birth certificate sample. At the bottom of table 7, it also shows that for the non-birth certificate sample, the adjusted race effect statistical significance was huge.</p>
<p>‘All the authors and I met and decided sometime between August and September 2002, not to report any race effects from the paper. Sometime soon after the meeting, we decided to exclude reporting any race effects. The co-authors scheduled a meeting to destroy documents related to the study. The remaining four co-authors all met and brought a big garbage can into the meeting room, and reviewed and went through all the hardcopy documents that we had thought we should discard, and put them into a huge garbage can. However, because I assumed it was illegal and would violate both FOIA and DOJ requests, I kept hardcopies of all documents in my office, and I retain all associated computer files. I believe we intentionally withheld controversial findings from the final draft of the Pediatrics paper.’</p>
<p>“Mr. Speaker, I believe it is our duty to insure that the documents that Dr. Thompson are not ignored. Therefore I will provide them to members of Congress and the House Committees upon request. Considering the nature of the whistleblower’s documents as well as the involvement of the CDC, a hearing and a thorough investigation is warranted.</p>
<p>“So I ask, Mr. Speaker, I beg, I implore my colleagues on the appropriations committees to please, please take such action.”</p>

<p>(<a href="http://www.sott.net/article/296914-Part-yeast-part-human-scientists-create-a-new-fungus" target="_blank">SOTT</a>) A living yeast that is part human and part fungus has been engineered by scientists in a feat that shows how, despite a billion years of evolution separating humans from yeast, <strong>the two species share hundreds of genes in common</strong>.</p>
<p>Those genes remain, in part, from the last common ancestor of humans and yeast.</p>
<p>“Cells use a common set of parts and those parts, even after a billion years of independent evolution, are swappable,” Edward Marcotte, a professor at The University of Texas at Austin, said in a press release.</p>
<p>“It’s a beautiful demonstration of the <strong>common heritage of all living things</strong> — to be able to take DNA from a human and replace the matching DNA in a yeast cell and have it successfully support the life of the cell.”</p>
<p>That’s just what Marcotte and his colleagues did, as they describe in their study published in the journal <em>Science</em>. Although yeast (such as the Baker’s yeast that might be in your refrigerator now) consists of a single cell and humans have trillions of cells organized into complex systems, multiple genes are shared between the two.</p>
<p><a href="http://govtslaves.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/yeast.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46897" src="http://govtslaves.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/yeast.jpg" alt="yeast" width="520" height="347"/></a></p>
<p>Of those, about 450 are critical for yeast’s survival, so the researchers removed the yeast version of each one and replaced it with the human version and waited to see whether the yeast would die.</p>
<p><strong>They wound up creating hundreds of new strains of yeast, each with a single human gene. About half of these resulted in an organism that could survive and reproduce.</strong></p>
<p>While this might sound like an eerie Frankenstein-like experiment, <strong>the goal is to produce a new way of researching human genetic diseases caused by mutations.</strong></p>
<p>It’s actually cutting edge research, since the technique could help to reduce or even eliminate testing on live animals.</p>
<p>Another benefit is that the testing could lead to treatments designed for a particular individual. For example, researchers might<strong> insert precise versions of a human gene mutation into yeast and then expose the yeast to different drugs to test new therapies. As a result, the treatments could be tailored to a person’s precise genetic mutation.</strong></p>
<p>A similar technique could be used to test treatments for other animals too, such as dogs and cats.</p>
<p>“We could find out if one of the standard treatments would work on your particular version of the gene or if maybe another drug would be even better,” explained co-author Claus Wilke.</p>
<p>Multiple genes might also be able to be inserted at once into yeast, permitting researchers to examine more complete systems as opposed to just a single mutated gene.</p>
<p>“This work is basically showing that you can take a fuel injector from a tractor and swap it for a fuel injector in your Toyota and it will still work, more or less, because they’re both fuel injectors,” Marcotte said.</p>

<p>A court in the southern city of Changsha handed suspended jail sentences to Mark Reilly, the former head of GSK in <span class="mandelbrot_refrag"><a class="mandelbrot_refrag" href="http://www.reuters.com/places/china?lc=int_mb_1001">China</a></span>, and four other GSK executives of between two and four years, according to state news agency Xinhua.</p>
<p>Briton Reilly, shown on state television wearing a suit and looking tired during the trial, will be deported, a source with direct knowledge of the case said.</p>
<p>The verdict, handed out behind closed doors in a single-day trial, highlights how Chinese regulators are increasingly cracking down on corporate malpractice.</p>

<p>Long-term use of some common anti-anxiety and insomnia drugs may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease later in life.</p>
<p>According to a new study, regular use of benzodiazepines -- which include medications such as Valium (diazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), Xanax (alprazolam) and Klonopin (clonazepam) -- is associated with as much as a 51 percent increased risk for <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/one-in-three-seniors-die-with-dementia-alzheimers/">Alzheimer's</a> among people who use the drugs for three months or more.</p>
<p>For the study, published in <a href="http://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g5312" target="_blank">BMJ-British Medical Journal</a>, researchers looked at data from the Quebec health insurance program database. They tracked elderly people living in Quebec, Canada who were prescribed benzodiazepines (sometimes called 'benzos'). The researchers analyzed six years of data, and noted 1,796 cases of Alzheimer's disease.</p>
<p>The study found that beyond three months on the drug, the longer people took it, the higher their risk for dementia. Additionally, the study indicated that long-acting or extended release forms of the drugs were associated with higher risk for Alzheimer's than shorter acting forms of the same medication.</p>
