Has anyone seen the 'Dying To Know' doco about the conspiracy to promote aids in order to sell drugs?
It suggested that diagnosed patients were not dying, but that the incredibly toxic drugs they were given caused the symptoms that eventually killed them - kind of self fulfilling prophecy.
Whether that's true or not, there's a disturbing correlation to some of the suggestions being made here.

Ignorance Celebrated!! What a crazy, out of context, completley false thread.
Please someone forward it to Rush and Sarah Palin....I'd like the far right to be further embarrassed and shamed for trying to spread compeltely crazy, easily dissproved BS.
Enough of insulting the publics intelligence and fear mongering.
Maybe it's easy for me to understand since a few years back I had surgery and have a titanium plate (implantable device) attached to my spine.
A "Class II implantable device"....is everything from pacemakers, to muscle stimulators, cardio-defibulators to screws and pins to put bones back together. ...any medical device that is internal and sustains or supports life.
The word "postmarket" here means that Doctors etc. will save any implantable devices they remove during surgeries etc... "postmarket"...get it? after the device is done being used...either removed during a surgery or after death, prior to cremation etc.
"Outcomes" simply means...how did the device do? How did the patient do? Did the device work as advertised?Did it last as long as the manufactuer promised?
Right now those devices are not required to be saved or studied to see if they operated as promised. Thats the way the 23B Medical Device industry likes it. This law will change that and require doctors to report if a given devices operated as well and lasted as long as the manufacturer promised. !!
This is a terrific idea and LONG overdue. It protects the public from big medical companies BS.
...I discovered this issue when I had my surgery. They said they were going to put a titanium plate on my spine...My question was..how long will it last? Answer: Forever. My question: Are their studies showing how long this hardware lasts? Doctors answer...No...Why not?
MOST MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURERS make doctors sign documents that they will destroy or return to the manufacturer the implantable devices once they are removed....RATHER THAN keep those devices to study or determine if they worked as promised....or contributed to the poor health of the patient etc..think about that...
They make Doctors promise NOT to examine whether the devices worked...the devices they sold you that your life depended on...This law changes that and the government will facilitate independant study of what devices are working as promised and which dont.
So you guys are supporting Big Medical Device Manufacturers right to NOT have to back up their claims with actual research studies about what their products do???
Really....what BS this thread is. What complete ignorance and partisan whackoness. Great job being pawns.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a "radiofrequency transponder" fall under the definition of a class II device?
Has anyone read this?
