Deepak Chopra attacks Skepticism

RE: Deepak Chopra attacks Skepticism
Thank you for the lesson on drugs, and moral relativity. This is not kindergarten.

My point is that in my opinion it does not cancel out that one day some corps allow people access to insulin and other days they break the law. I know there is a good and bad, and that we need to weigh one against the other. I have done that process, and I believe that pharma is causing more harm than good, even taking insulin, and the more necessary spectrum of medicines and drugs. you think that instead they are causing more good than bad, and I appreciate your opinion on the matter. We just disagree, but it may be more fun for you to tell yourself I am just out of context with reality.

Look it up, I would posit that a literal majority of kids in the US and Canada are on mood altering drugs, and certainly not a small minority as you suggest. That it helps them fit in and live productive lives is subjective. It represents poor problem solving, and the lack of casual thinking endemic to the entire pharma industry. Are children now more mentally ill than before in history? If so, is it that there are causes for this change? Should we asses and control the causes of mental illness, or just perpetually medicate the symptoms? Flawed problem solving.

Quote:Did they knowingly ship HIV tainted material? I hope not, is their any proof that it was intentional?
It stops being hearsay when you look it up yourself. Access to free information is one of the hallmarks of the early 21st century my friend. Don't take my word on it. And we've been over this already. They have to have known that the Hemophilia injections were tainted with HIV, they were removed from the American market for that exact documented reason. And then instead of being disposed or destroyed, they shipped them out the Europe. It is provable that they new those vaccines were tainted in as much as the public record of them losing a lawsuit about it. It could be a most unfortunate accident in the shipping department, but if so that doesn't change the need for full accountability. It would have been beyond tragedy for a bunch of children with a blood disorder to get HIV from the action, accident or no.

Then the second case, which I have also already explained. The storage of live H5N1 is supposed to be more than a little secure. It is listed as a bio-weapon, and it may even be patented. So for an accident to occur in the Level 4 facility they housed it in should be an impossibility. Granted, it could be an accident, but it seems overwhelmingly unlikely when you start to research the level of security involved. But by all means, look it up. You don't have to know what you're arguing about, but it helps.

Now you're saying that I am not weighing the good against two strong examples of malpractice, and I say you are not looking at it from the right angle.

If I kill someone, either by negligence or intent, but I am an overall decent guy, should I walk?
Weighing the good against such flagrant misconduct is beside the point.

Everything I say on this website seems to be taken as poorly as possible. I am trying to be coherent.
