| Today, the Rockefeller Foundation is announcing a $13.5 million commitment to counter health [[:misinformation]]. The [[:Digital Public Library of America]] is announcing that they will convene a set of librarians, scholars, journalists, and civic leaders to confront health misinformation together. |

| Fourth, we’re saying we expect more from our technology companies. We’re asking them to operate with greater transparency and accountability. We’re asking them to monitor misinformation more closely. We’re asking them to consistently **take action against misinformation super-spreaders** on their platforms.

In 1937, the AMA approved an extremely poisonous preparation of [[:sulfanilamide]] in a solution of [[:diethylene glucol]]; this mixture caused a number of fatalities. It caused white blood cell loss, even though it was advertised that it would "help" heart disease. Long after Fishbein's departure, the AMA continued to endorse potentially dangerous products. The Winter issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association featured advertisements for [[:Suprol]] in 200 mg capsules ([[:suprofen]]), an analgesic which had been approved by the FDA in December of 1985. It was produced by McNeil, a subsidiary of [[Johnson & Johnson]]. By February 13, 1986, the firm had received the first reports of acute kidney damage, yet on December 2nd the [[:FDA]] Arthritis Advisory Board recommended that Suprol remain on sale as an "alternative analgesic." It had already been banned in Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy and Great Britain. | In 1937, the AMA approved an extremely poisonous preparation of [[:sulfanilamide]] in a solution of [[:diethylene glucol]]; this mixture caused a number of fatalities.

Under the leadership of the nation's two most notorious quacks, Simmons and Fishbein, a gigantic nationwide drug operation was perfected which today poses a serious threat to the health of every American citizen. The fixed prices of these drugs has been a contributing factor to the meteroric rise in the cost of health care. In 1976, the national bill was 95 billion dollars, which was 8.4% of the Gross National Product, a figure which had risen from 4.5% in 1962. From 1955-1975, the price index rose 74%, while the cost of medical care rose 300%. Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn, an independent health practitioner, estimates that 30% of Xrays taken in the United States, some 300 million a year, are ordered when there is no valid medical need. | Under the leadership of the nation's two most notorious quacks, Simmons and Fishbein, a gigantic nationwide drug operation was perfected which today poses a serious threat to the health of every American citizen.

In September of 1980, the [[Food and Drug Administration]] announced that it would remove from the market more than three thousand drugs whose effectiveness had not been proven. During the previous year, Americans had spent more than one billion dollars on these same "unproven" drugs, many of which had been "accepted" by the AMA. In 1962, Congress had passed amendments to the Food and Drug Act which implemented drug effectiveness requirements by 1964. The drug manufacturers resisted all attempts to force them to comply with these amendments, forcing the FDA to remove them from the market some sixteen years later. The average life of an effective drug is about fifteen years; this meant that the delaying tactics of the drug manufacturers had allowed them to milk these unproven drugs for their entire effective market life! | In September of 1980, the [[:Food and Drug Administration]] announced that it would remove from the market more than three thousand drugs whose effectiveness had not been proven.

We now come to the most amazing record of criminal syndicalism in our history. After Congress had passed stringent requirements in 1962 to force the drug manufacturers to prove that their drugs were effective (a requirement which in many cases was impossible to observe, since they were worthless), the drug manufacturers were advised by their cohorts in the AMA and the advertising industry that it would be wise to start a brushfire, a diversionary tactic which would draw attention from the fact that they had failed to comply with the new Congressional requirements. | We now come to the most amazing record of criminal syndicalism in our history.

In the late 1960s, the [[:AMA Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals]] imposed new requirements on hospitals; the [[AMA Principles of Medical Ethics]] barred its members from all forms of exchange with chiropractors. A JCAH letter August 13, 1973 to a hospital administrator declared that "Any arrangement you would make with chiropractors and your hospital would be unacceptable to the Joint Committee. This would be in violation of the Principles of Medical Ethics published by the AMA that is also a requirement of the JCAH." On January 9, 1973 the JCAH wrote to a hospital in Silver City, New Mexico, "This is in answer to your letter of December 18 referring to a bill which may be passed in New Mexico that hospitals must accept chiropractors as members of the medical staff. You are absolutely correct—the unfortunate results of this most ill-advised legislation mean that the Joint Committee could withdraw and refuse accreditation of the hospital that had chiropractors on its staff." | In the late 1960s, the [[:AMA Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals]] imposed new requirements on hospitals; the AMA Principles of [[:Medical Ethics]] barred its members from all forms of exchange with chiropractors.

The AMA then forced the [[:Veterans Administration]] to refuse payments to veterans for chiropractic services. These tactics had been reported to the AMA as positive results. A confidential memorandum dated September 21, 1967 by the [[:Committee on Quackery]] boasted to the trustees that | The AMA then forced the [[:Veterans Administration]] to refuse payments to veterans for chiropractic services.

Because of the flagrant activities of the AMA, several [[:chiropractors]] finally sued, charging conspiracy. The case dragged on for years, and on August 27, 1987, after eleven years of continuous litigation, Federal Judge Susan Getzendammer of the U.S. District Court found the AMA, the [[:American College of Surgeons]], and the [[:American College of Radiologists]], guilty of **conspiring to destroy the profession of chiropractic**. During the proceedings, the AMA freely acknowledged that they never had, nor have, any knowledge of the content or quality of the courses taught in chiropractic college. Judge Getzendammer wrote a 101-page opinion, and issued an [[:Order of Permanent Injunction]] requiring the AMA to cease and desist from... | Because of the flagrant activities of the AMA, several [[:chiropractors]] finally sued, charging conspiracy.

The [[:National Bureau of Standards]] reports that half or more of the numerical data published by scientists in articles in the Journal is unusable because there is no evidence that the researchers accurately measured what they thought they were measuring. Alarmed by these statistics, officials instituted a survey; 31 authors of scientific reports were sent questionnaires asking for their raw data. The 21 who replied said that their data had been "lost" or "accidentally destroyed." What a loss to the research profession! | The [[:National Bureau of Standards]] reports that half or more of the numerical data published by scientists in articles in the Journal is unusable because there is no evidence that the researchers accurately measured what they thought they were measuring.

Because Elmer Bobst had played the crucial role in making it possible for Nixon to become president, he had little trouble in persuading Nixon to authorize a new and expensive "war on cancer." At Bobst's instigation, Nixon signed the [[:National Cancer Act in 1971]], which transformed the National Cancer Institute at Bethesda into a new monolithic government bureaucracy. During the next fifteen years, NCA was to spend more than ten billion dollars funding various cancer programs, none of which had any effect in curing or preventing cancer. In 1955, NCI had established a Chemotherapy National Service Center with a $25 million grant, to promote the use of chemotherapy. | Because Elmer Bobst had played the crucial role in making it possible for Nixon to become president, he had little trouble in persuading Nixon to authorize a new and expensive "war on cancer."
