Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Vaccines for adverse psych drug effects? Then they'd be drawing closed the circle which they started.

The same metaphor of the closed circle popped into my head the other day, when I was thinking about something I'd heard on the radio. I was listening to the Medved show (I know, I know, I should know better than to listen to the radio or watch the television, but sometimes I just like the noise when the kids are in school) and he was discussing a recent program in, I think, Seattle, in which people were being discouraged from giving money to the homeless in the city. " It doesn't help them " , people were being told. Medved was saying that if you give an alcoholic money to buy a beer, this hurts him rather than helps him. And I tried to call the show to say that I found it rather interesting that he was so disturbed by the ill effects someone might experience due to his or her alcohol addiction, but didn't have anything at all to say about the ill effects that might be experienced by someone due to an addiction to prescription pain medications. (Rush came to mind.) I was going to ask him if this might have something to do with the commercials that I was hearing on his program, in between his rants about how it's better to not give money to the homeless. (There was a commercial for Unisom, and one for some hair restoration drug, and one for University Hospitals in the few minutes I was listening.) While I was listening and trying to call in so that I could ask him this, another caller was talking about the fact that so many of the homeless have mental illnesses. " It's a shame " , he was saying (I'm paraphrasing), " these people really don't want to live like this " (how does he know what they want? I dunno), and " so many of these people could be helped by some of the latest drugs, but they aren't being helped " . And Medved seemed to think that it was a shame that there wasn't some way to force the homeless into mandated medication. It scared the bejeebers out of me, and believe me it takes a LOT to scare the bejeebers out of me these days. Then, yesterday afternoon I was at Cleveland State University with my daughter , who starts this fall. The university is downtown, and while we were there we ran into some people on the street corner handing out flyers. The flyers said " please don't give money to the homeless " . I was talking about all of this with my husband, and I told him that I wondered who was paying for these people to be out on the sidewalk distributing flyers to passerbys informing them not give money to the homeless. I thought maybe it was tax money being used for that purpose, which would really have gotten me peeved. He said " I think it might be the local businesses. They get together and they raise the money, maybe, to do this. Because it's bad for business, having the homeless in front of your doors and often harassing people. At first, when I considered this possibility, I thought that if this was what was happening it wouldn't really disturb me very much. After all why shouldn't business owners have the right to organize and pay people, if they want to, to distribute flyers on public sidewalks. But then I started wondering where the money that those business owners might be using might be coming from. From the legitimate profits of their businesses? The thing that really bothers me is this. It is my understanding that in recent years charities have been receiving money from the government in order to run their organizations. Which are there, presumably, to help people. But suppose that an organization felt that the best way they could help the homeless was by seeing that they were given the `proper' medication? And then let's suppose that they use the money they have raised (or been granted by the government) to pay for the purchase and administration of those drugs. What we would then have is a Congress taking huge sums of money from Pharma lobbyists. And we'd have a Congress handing out money to charity organizations, some of which might be purchasing drugs from the same companies that have poured huge amounts of money into lobbying Congress. Which would make, metaphorically speaking, a nice neat tidy and closed circle. I'm not saying this is happening. But if it were, call me paranoid, but I could see a situation like this getting rather ugly. I could envision some extremely obscene civil rights violations ( as bad as the Vaccine Court that parents of vaccine damaged children are forced to endure, or worse) being perpetrated on a lot of people who might be harmless, but annoying and inconvenient.
