Supplied 172k tainted swine flu 'vaccines' in canada which caused adverse side effects Adjuvant, monophosphoryl lipid A, has been linked to severe autoimmune disorders but they still use it These are NOT the actions of an ethical and moral company; but hey, GSK is still better than Monsanto.

Allowing these companies to get away with inadequate independent scrutiny, has always been a priority of the FDA and politicians. Many poor countries can't afford the inflated prices being charged by the well know pharma companies. The drugs they make can often be produced at a fraction of the cost. But if a poor country were to buy the generic brand they'd be persecuted. The US links aid to these nations to a clause which forces them to buy brand name pharmaceuticals in US dollars at US prices. Thousands of people die every year because of this policy.

They want us all watching dumbass reality TV shows and listening to the ignorant shock-jocks on the radio. Hell, we already have fluoride (a chemical used for urban pacification) in our water; they're halfway there in their goal to create a slave class.
