OT: racist military experiments with spors

[Guest guest]

Still reading " The War Against Children Of Color " (toddlers here,

not much time to read a book cover to cover) and I came accross

something on Valley fever from the seventies and an army experiment

which followed, which was the subject of Congressional hearings in

1977.

Valley fever was caused by a fungus called cocciodemiomycosis (sp?)

which targets melanin. It swept accross the San Joaquim valley in

the seventies, sickening and killing many people. It attacks the

lungs first, then migrates to organs and the brain, which also

contain melanin. Because it favors melanin, blacks and Asians are

ten times more likely to die from it.

The army immediatly launched a chemical weapon experiment performed

without consent on black dock workers in Pennsylvania. They infected

shoes and other articles sold at the Navy depot store, then studied

the path of supposedly " harmless " spors which were similar to

cocciodemiomycosis in the way that they spread.

But our government would never allow dangerous ingredients to be

added to vaccines, right?

I think the correct spelling is cocciodiomycosis, thanks to Google. That's terrible. Let us know more about what you read, as it unfolds.

Well, I'm not an epidemiologist, obviously, but here's some more

stuff from the book which could be interesting to the list in terms

of rates of toxically-induced disorders.

Drapetomania: a circa-1850 psychiatric diagnosis of slaves who

wouldn't stop running away. Because, you know, slavery must have

been fun and only someone crazy wouldn't appreciate it.

Gives a bit of insight into modern DSM entries. For instance,

Breggin contemptuously dismisses the new dx-of-the-

decade, " oppositional defiant disorder " and its adult counterpart,

antisocial personality disorder, as equivalents of drapetomania

since their criteria are universally applied to inner city children

and young men. What I gather from his descriptions is that applying

this diagnosis is the equivalent of trapping someone in a room with

a rabid bear and then pathologizing them for screaming and

thrashing. They're diagnosing behavior which is natural to the

circumstances, i.e., was developed for survival on the streets and

says nothing about the person's (or demographic's) inherant capacity

for humanity, sanity, achievement, etc..

So we can't trust the APA's or NIMH's numbers on mental illnesses,

especially since many of these dx's are overapplied to groups with a

seemingly racist or at least culturally incompetent agenda. But

here's more data which suggests a way of deciphering poor diagnosing

standards by psychiatrists in order to determine actual rates of

toxic-induced psychosis...

The book mentions that schizophrenia is diagnosed more than twice as

often in black women than in white men and blacks are

psychiatrically incarcerated for longer periods and drugged more

heavily than whites for this. Environmental racism which could lead

to high toxicity aside (inner city neighborhoods which are

predominantly black end up being chosen as the sites for toxic

industries or toxic waste disposal), this gives a heads up that some

expressions of emotional stress are overdiagnosed as APA-

approved " genetic " conditions because they justify drugging instead

of societal changes.

For example, in another book, I read about how the diagnosis of

schizophrenia among minorities and immigrants is also a reflection

of cultural bigotry. People from some cultures grow up believing

it's normal to talk to spirits, for one. And in one case, a black

man was picked up on the side of the road in Georgia. He was

screaming and bedraggled and was hospitalized. He told a story of

how his son had been dragged behind a pickup truck and decapitated

in another state. The story was assumed to be a delusion and he was

psychiatrically hospitalized and diagnosed with schizophrenia. Yet

the story turned out to be true- the man's son had been gruesomely

murdered in a racially motivated incident. The white doctors could

not conceive of such a thing as a " normal life experience " and

assumed it was an hallucination, yet there are whole sectors of

society and whole parts of the world in which atrocity or terrifying

injustic is not an unknown thing (this sector's growing daily, as we

all know too well- because we're all " crazy " here).

I'd assume that, since the authorities are more reluctant to

diagnose white males with schizophrenia, this may be more

representative of the actual rates than general numbers.

Psychiatrists in general are too subjective in making diagnoses for

certain mental illnesses to be completely trusted as resources for

epidemiolocal data for our purposes.

But rather than making the rates of people effected by toxins appear

to be lower, I wonder if the rate of increase in schizophrenia dx

among non-military white males (schizophrenia is bound to be

overdiagnosed in the military at present because it's regarded as

a " genetic precondition " . Making this dx for traumatized troups

helps the army get out of paying for treatment of PTSD, therefore

the data from troups would most likely be unreliable), for instance,

has risen even faster than in the general population. I have no idea

where that information could be found.

Are there oil adjuvants in infant and childhood vaccines?
