It was once. If they do not support INFORMED CONSENT
and understand RISK, then they should never be trusted
again.

Gardasil by RINO Mandate is wrong.
Patients have rights, too. Not JUST Drug companies.

Despite Dr. Ronald DePinho's alleged statement
(and it is doubtful it was taken in context)
the equation for the NET Benefit of a medical treatment is:

NET BENEFIT = (Risk with NO treatment)*(the net benefit of the treatment) - (The risk of harm).

Oncologists at M.D. Anderson once knew that.

Perry’s mandate has nothing to do with the clinical research stature of M.D. Anderson. I live in Texas, I saw the forms that came home with school children. Should Perry have handled this differently? Yes, he says in retrospect he would have done it differently. But no little school girls were forced to have a vaccine their parents objected to. M.D. Anderson is a fine institution and doesn’t deserve your slur.

Believe me, they know it Dio. That’s why for this new president to be so condescending... but that’s kind of the RINO way, isn’t it. This is the group of people that imply that we’re too stupid to understand Bayes theorem and probability, and medical decision making, so we should just shut up and take what they tell us to take, even though they have to put black box warnings on the shit telling us of the prevalence of ADEs or Adverse Drug Events. It’s bull.
