Physician-assisted suicide as “treatment” is a new rhetorical tool that is used by the advocates of euthanasia. The goal is to make assisted suicide seem less alarming to the public and to promote the idea that legalizing the practice is just another small step along a path already taken and ethically approved. By intentionally confusing physician-assisted suicide with legitimate palliative care, pro-euthanasia advocates hope that the public will conclude that it is a medically and ethically accepted end-of-life treatment.

Did you know that you have been defined as an ‘animal’ according to an OIE Guideline Document on Invasive Species and are considered lower in the animal kingdom than a pathogen?

 Are you aware that not only are you considered an animal, you are considered a non-native alien animal to the ecosystem?

 And you do understand that you suddenly find yourself defined as an “Invasive Non-Native (also known as an invasive alien) Animal” who has established and spread “outside of its native distribution area” and that you could be causing “harm to the environment, animal health, or economy”.  All Invasive non-native (aliens) are a hazard to biodiversity and threaten the “geographically and evolutionary isolated ecosystems (i.e.-islands)” as you can clearly see from the map above, “Simulated Reserve and Corridor System to Protect Biodiversity,” lovingly nicknamed, “The Wildlands Map.” Continue reading →

Carcass Management 2012

A few years ago I was on air in a shocking expose of changing the definition of carcass management from something dark and ugly to something ‘beautiful’.  The O’ Brien document featured a bride and groom in their vintage car and a dead moose body hoisted up.  Now years later FAZD is calling for papers for as new conference on carcass management to be held in Dearborn, Michigan in May 2012.  This conference will tie up the three ‘R’s:  research, regulation, and response.  The conference will cover animal moralities (which includes humans), death by natural, accidental, or disaster causes, carcass disposal options, new technologies in euthanasia, One Heath, final body disposition, public policy on carcass management, and more…..

Be on the look out for some shocking new details and major hints on things to come!

Pandemic Woes: The Social Distancing Law Project

From a screen of a power point: Saving Humanity through Science and Partnerships

 

Background

In the fall of 2005, the President released the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza, which was followed in 2006 by the detailed National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza Implementation Plan from the U.S. Homeland Security Council (HSC). The HSC Implementation Plan assigned tasks across the federal government to improve pandemic influenza preparedness. Nearly 200 of these action items were assigned to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The HSC Implementation Plan acknowledged the important role social distancing measures will play in helping to reduce the impact of pandemic influenza and, also, the need for governments at all levels to assess their legal capacity to flexibly respond to shifting circumstances during a pandemic. The action items assigned to CDC stimulated creation and implementation of the Social Distancing Law Project. Generally, Chapter 6 of the HSC Implementation Plan, which dealt with the protection of human health, called for providing guidance to all levels of government “…on the range of options for infection control and containment, including those circumstances where social distancing measures, limitations on gatherings, or quarantine authority may be an appropriate public health intervention.”

As part of its plan to address these action items, HHS asked CDC to evaluate the sufficiency and understanding of states’ existing legal authorities to implement such social distancing measures as suspension of public gatherings, quarantine, and curfew, among other limits on movement, as well as their legal authority to dispense antiviral and other prescription drugs on a mass or community-wide basis.

The Social Distancing Law Project

Sponsored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and directed by the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), the Social Distancing Law Project was conducted in 17 jurisdictions in 2007 to assess the sufficiency of their legal preparedness to implement social distancing effectively. In addition, the participating jurisdictions assessed their legal authority to prescribe and dispense pharmaceutical drugs on a mass basis as a key potential countermeasure for an influenza pandemic.

As implemented in 2007, the Social Distancing Law Project had two primary components, as specified by CDC and ASTHO:

  • Legal Assessments
  • Legal Consultation Meetings and After-Action Reports

The Public Health Law Program subsequently created a Social Distancing Law Assessment Template (SDLAT) for use by other interested jurisdictions. The Template includes the template for assessing legal authorities, a hypothetical scenario and instructions for conducting a Legal Consultation Meeting, and examples of completed documents from the state of Michigan.

Homeless Die After Bird Flu Vaccine Trial

London Telegraph

 

Three Polish doctors and six nurses are facing criminal prosecution after a number of homeless people died following medical trials for a vaccine to the H5N1 bird-flu virus.

The medical staff, from the northern town of Grudziadz, are being investigated over medical trials on as many as 350 homeless and poor people last year, which prosecutors say involved an untried vaccine to the highly-contagious virus.

Authorities claim that the alleged victims received £1-2 to be tested with what they thought was a conventional flu vaccine but, according to investigators, was actually an anti bird-flu drug.

The director of a Grudziadz homeless centre, Mieczyslaw Waclawski, told a Polish newspaper that last year, 21 people from his centre died, a figure well above the average of about eight.

Although authorities have yet to prove a direct link between the deaths and the activities of the medical staff, Poland’s health minister, Ewa Kopacz, has said that the doctors and nurses involved should not return to their profession.

“It is in the interests of all doctors that those who are responsible for this are punished,” the minister added.

Investigators are also probing the possibility that the medical staff may have also have deceived the pharmaceutical companies that commissioned the trials.

The suspects said that the all those involved knew that the trial involved an anti-H5N1 drug and willingly participated.

The news of the investigation will come as another blow to the reputation of Poland’s beleaguered and poverty-stricken national health service. In 2002, a number of ambulance medics were found guilty of killing their patients for commissions from funeral companies.

Farmers Offer Vet Words of Wisdom

My response to the outragous threats by Dr. Van Wie are in bold
Unpleasant truths are not lies

 

I am compelled to respond to Sharon Zecchinelli’s letter to the Editor dated October 17, 2007 in which she reports on a seminar about surviving foreign animal disease held in Sheldon on October 12.

 

Fact: Common Ag words have been re-defined or morphed if you will into alternative meanings. Webster’s will not give you the current definitions. For instance: surviving has been changed to mean compliance. Keep this in mind as you read through this document.

 

Ms. Zecchinelli, aka “The Hen Whisperer”, distorts the reason why Dr. Julie Smith from DVM Extension and I, along with two respected local veterinary practices and the venerable St. Albans Coop called this meeting for local farmers.

Fact: Extension Offices, Veterinary Medicine Association’s, as well as some industry ‘partners’ and ‘stakeholders’ have become paid contractor’s to the State Department’s of Agriculture and USDA. Go to NoNAISWA.org to see the actual “Purchase Agreements”. Yes folks these ‘professionals’ and industries have been PURCHASED. Property owners and farmers have good reason to be suspect of their ‘partnerships’ and the fine print that may ensnare them.

WA Vets for Sale Posted in July 10th, 2007 Vet Purchase Service Agreement

As a group of Vermont veterinary and industry professionals, our message to ALL Vermont farmers, large and small, commercial and non-commercial enterprise or hobby, was, is and always will be, “Plan to Survive”. That theme resonated through the evening’s presentation.

 

FACT: It is of communication to command a controlled and consistent message. Your ‘Plan to Survive’ is a basic awareness campaign to heighten public awareness of your perceived hazard. While I was not in attendance this letter appears to be comprehensive in addressing hazard vulnerabilities of FMD but unfortunately falls glaring short in your audience analysis. Your target audience was in fact a very informed audience despite your innuendos to the contrary. It remains to be seen how effective your awareness campaign will be.

FACT: It is goal of US policy under HSPD #9 is to raise public awareness and educate them on threats.

FACT: Entities can best achieve the awareness and education program by:

· Educational opportunities on the issues at hand , not Command and Control

· Scope and nature of the issue(s)

· Community status

· Media Updates-Broadcast/radio, instead of NAIS

· Donations information for those wanting to help farmers (preventing the 911 fiasco)

· Eliminate the Fear Mongering
