1. UK Doctors Take Bribes To Push Swine Flu Vaccine On Patients
GPs at the centre of one of the summer’s swine flu hotspots have been offered bonuses worth thousands of pounds extra for hitting vaccination targets. NHS managers in Birmingham have offered practices up to 50% over and above the payments agreed between the GPC and NHS Employers if they vaccinate a high proportion of the population. NHS Heart of Birmingham revealed a sliding scale of bonuses, on top of the £5.25 practices will get per vaccination of patients in target groups and the relaxation of QOF patient survey thresholds if they hit the DH’s uptake target. One Click Note: It is simply outrageous and sickening that the Department of Health is bribing doctors in Britain to foist the untested Swine Flu vaccine on patients for considerable sums of money and that the doctors are taking these bribes. These are the very same doctors and nurses who are refusing the Swine Flu vaccine for themselves and their families due to safety concerns. Vaccines Basil (Professor David Salisbury, UK Vaccines Director) has spent billions of taxpayer money on these vaccines that many millions don't want and that the Department of Health is desperate to shift. Doesn't the corrupt British healthcare system make you want to throw up?

2. British Government Fails Electorate Over Detested DNA Database
British Ministers have ignored growing demands to radically reduce or scrap the proposed period the samples of people arrested but never charged or convicted of crimes are retained. Innocent people, including thousands of teenagers, will still have their DNA profile kept on a national database for up to six years, the Government will announce. It emerged last month that more than one in 10 people – 5.5 million people in England and Wales – now have their details stored on the DNA database. It includes up to 850,000 DNA profiles, plus a similar number of fingerprints, of people never convicted of a crime and the Home Office has been accused of doing only the bare minimum to abide with the European ruling. Chris Grayling, the shadow home secretary, said: "Alan Johnson just doesn't seem to understand that there is a fundamental principle at stake here – that people are innocent until proven guilty."

3. Useless UK Social Workers' Watchdog Fails To Disclose Crucial Evidence
Baby Peter suffered 50 injuries
A Judge was furious yesterday after childcare watchdogs admitted a blunder in the case of sacked Baby P children’s services boss Sharon Shoesmith. Regulator Ofsted was forced to issue a humiliating public apology for failing to disclose potentially crucial evidence. High Court Judge, Mr Justice Foskett, ordered that the case be reopened for further investigation after the documents came to light. They were discovered by lawyers after a Freedom of Information request. Mr Justice Foskett ordered Ofsted to give “a full explanation” of why requests by Shoesmith’s lawyers for information on draft reports were first “batted away” then turned down on the basis that they did not exist. Ofsted admitted it made a “serious and deeply regrettable error”. Baby Peter had suffered 50 injuries despite receiving 60 visits from social workers, doctors and police in the final eight months of his life.

4. Boston University Student Caught Meningitis Germ From BioLab
Sophisticated genetic fingerprinting confirmed that a laboratory experiment was the source of a bacterial infection that sickened a graduate student on Boston University’s medical campus, city disease investigators said yesterday. The analysis erased any doubt about what caused the researcher to become sick last month and intensified investigations into precisely how he was exposed to a germ known as Neisseria meningitidis, which can cause meningitis. The infection of the researcher came at an awkward moment for BU. A federal health agency is conducting what is probably the final safety review of a controversial $200 million Biosafety Level-4 lab project the university has built to work with the world’s deadliest agents, including Ebola and plague.

5. 25th Bhopal Anniversary: A Story Of Corporate Greed And Profit
In this 25th year of unending human suffering in Bhopal, over 25,000 people have died. Each one of the half million exposed and their children have lost a relative, a friend or a neighbour. One fifth of the over half million people exposed remain chronically ill from a range of physical and mental diseases from toxic exposure. Tens of thousands of children born after the disaster have growth and development disorders, hundreds of children are born with birth defects stemming from their parents exposure to Carbide's poisons through gas or through ground water contaminated by chemical wastes from the factory. CBG interviews Rachna Dhingra of the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal (ICJB). "What angers me the most" she said, "Is that even 25 years after the disaster, the government can allow people to drink contaminated water."

6. XMRV Virus - Top Scientists To Meet
Medical reporter Angela Townsend
In October, a team of researchers from the Clinic, the University of Nevada at Reno and the National Cancer Institute reported finding the virus in the majority of patients they studied who had chronic fatigue syndrome. That news came on the heels of another study, published in September, that revealed the virus could be an important marker for aggressive prostate cancer tumors. The invitation-only gathering will be the first large meeting of scientists on XMRV since the National Institutes of Health's closed-door session last summer on the topic.
