European Parliament to Investigate WHO and swine flu “Pandemic” Scandal
The Council of Europe member states will launch an inquiry in January 2010 on the influence of the pharmaceutical companies on the global swine flu campaign, focusing especially on extent of the pharma‘s industry’s influence on WHO.

Report finds poor ethics policing at CDC
ATLANTA — The report looked at how well the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looked for and dealt with conflicts among about 250 scientific experts who served on 17 advisory panels in 2007.
The government’s top public health agency frequently failed to police its outside experts for conflicts of interest, according to a new government report released Friday.
Panel members are supposed to disclose whether they have been paid by — or own stock in — drug companies or other entities that might have an interest in the panel’s decisions. The panels provide advice to the CDC on topics such as how many people should get vaccinated and guidelines for cancer screenings.
The Office of the Inspector General has been examining conflicts of interest at several federal health agencies, including the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration.

Toxic Tort Lawsuit - DEFENDANT to DISPROVE mold exposure did not cause alleged illnesses
Toxic Tort Lawsuits Now Easier to Win in Michigan – The court left it to the DEFENDANT to DISPROVE that the mold exposure did not cause the alleged illnesses
As it stands now, the law in the State of Michigan is that in toxic tort lawsuits, plaintiffs need not necessarily establish medical causation with respect to their claimed injuries. It is enough that they can prove that an exposure occurred and that their symptoms are consistent with exposure to that type of toxic substance. This would presumably hold true for mold exposures, as well as exposure to any sort of substance or cause, even electromagnetic fields. This eases the plaintiffs’ burdens in such suits and makes them easier to win.
