Two cargo cult "theories" came to a conclusive end this week. First the influenza vaccine, Tamiflu, was shown to have no effect over preventing the flu. Since vaccines are meant to prevent disease, this would be a failure. Tamiflu is being mass produced and stored away by the millions of doses in hopes of fighting what some believe will be very dangerous flu season. So let's sum this up; we have scientists in white lab coats producing a "vaccine" against a potentially deadly virus. We have governments buying up the product and storing it away in hospitals and pharmacies. Doctors are being educated by the manufacturers and government agencies as to how to administer the vaccine. People are becoming frightened by the media coverage of the flu virus prospects, yet resting assured that there is a vaccine that they can take. The vaccine will not help. Might as well rely on prayer.The second study was done with the HIV drugs. The idea was that by giving the drugs only when T cells reached a certain lower level, a more effective, or at least equally effective result could be achieved. Instead, people who took the drugs when their T cells got low, did considerably worse than people who took the drug on a daily basis. The clinical trial was halted due to the damage it was causing patients.This is Bullshitian medicine at it's finest. Previously a group of about ten patients seemed to get better by taking the reduced drug regime. But did the cargo cult scientists take into account all of the factors? Most importantly, does it make sense to give drugs that weaken the body to people who have dangerously low T cell counts? I say no it does not. The elite in the medical science business said yes it does. How many died?
