A major scientific panel yesterday shook widely accepted beliefs about....
I'm sorry, ladies, but when I first say that statement I thought 9/11.
The guidelines, which the panel said were based on science, not cost considerations, probably will sow considerable consternation among women and their doctors....
First of all, WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE SOME AGENDA-PUSHING OUTFIT?
Secondly, WHAT makes the Glob think that ONLY WOMEN and their DOCTORS care!?
The new guidelines, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, stoked unusually harsh responses for the clubby world of academic medicine....
Then maybe there is something to it.
The mammography revisions come amid an intensifying debate about the merits of cancer screening in general. The tests are based on the notion that finding tumors early, when they are most treatable, saves lives. But many of the cancers identified are slow-growing and not lethal, critics say, raising the question whether the tests identify enough life-threatening cancers to justify the financial cost as well as the anxiety and sometimes unnecessary surgeries prompted by inaccurate results.
Advocates of screening frame the debate differently: If a single life can be saved or prolonged through early detection, isn’t that justification enough?
Yeah, HOW OFTEN do we HEAR THAT on SO MANY ISSUES, huh?

And you are getting OVERCHARGED FOR IT, too!!!!
*******************************
I would NOT DOUBT IT in the least, what with the HEALTHCARE TAX being RAMMED DOWN OUR THROATS! Here is ONE of the CUTS in Medicare and Medicaid! WHO CARES if YOU GET CANCER, old lady!
“How many cars do you have to put seat belts in to save a life? How many colons do you have to screen in order to save a life? How many people do you have to immunize for the flu in order to save a life?’’ said Dr. D. David Dershaw, a mammography specialist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. “These numbers are totally within the acceptable range of what we routinely do as part of a civilized society.’’
Yeah, if it is FOR the PEOPLE cut it off (sorry, bad pun)!!!!
But a Dartmouth researcher who has challenged the reflexive orthodoxy that cancer screening is always desirable hailed the Preventive Services Task Force recommendations.
I see that term and MAYBE THEY ARE ON TO SOMETHING!
ORTHODOXIES should ALWAYS BE CHALLENGED because they are USUALLY BASED on LIES!!!
Didn't Galileo get in trouble for that -- even though he was RIGHT?
“Even if you don’t care about money, you have to consider the trade-off of benefits to harms, and all screening has harms,’’ said Dr. Gilbert Welch, professor of medicine at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.....
What do you mean. doc?
And WHY doesn't the PAPER TELL ME?
You mean the RADIATION they PUMP INTO YOU to see the image?

Yeah, WHO KNOWS WHAT is up with "science" these dyas -- especially when such a LARGE LIE is SOLD as SCIENCE!!!!
"Carbon pollution up, despite recession; Growth driven mostly by China, study finds" by Seth Borenstein, Associated Press | November 18, 2009

The Boston Globe Cuts the Cheese
Yeah, I thought I smelled something gross.
WASHINGTON - Pollution typically declines during a recession. Not this time.
Despite a global economic slump, worldwide carbon dioxide pollution jumped 2 percent last year, most of the increase coming from China, according to a study published online yesterday.

Yeah, let's kill two agenda-pushing issues with one stone.
“The growth in emissions since 2000 is almost entirely driven by the growth in China,’’ said study lead author Corinne Le Quere of the University of East Anglia. “It’s China and India and all the developing countries together.’’
You have to LOVE THAT MSM CHUTZPAH and BIAS from an AmeriKa that CONSUMES 40% of the world's resources and yet contains only 5% of the POPULATION -- and INVADES and OCCUPIES NATIONS for CONTROL of those resources. But it's THE OTHER GUY'S FAULT!
Carbon dioxide emissions, the chief man-made greenhouse gas, come from the burning of coal, oil, natural gas, and also from the production of cement, which is a significant pollution factor in China....
Yup, STILL PUSHING the "man-made" lie!!!!
Watch: The Great Global Warming Swindle
Just saw it on one of the pay-movie channels.
Yup, GOVERNMENT and NEWSPAPERS are LYING TO YOU about the WEATHER, America!
But I'm sure they are telling the whole truth about everything else -- well, except for Iraq. And 9/11. And "terrorism." And health care. And....
Hey, wait a minute!
They are NOT TELLING the TRUTH about ANYTHING, are they?
The numbers are from the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and published in the journal Nature Geoscience....
Pfffft! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
The NUMBERS are from the GOVERNMENT, huh?
The United States is still the biggest per capita major producer of man-made greenhouse gases, spewing about 20 tons of carbon dioxide per person per year. The world average is 5.3 tons and China is at 5.8 tons. Last year, the US emissions fell by 3 percent, a reduction of nearly 192 million tons of carbon dioxide. Overall European Union emissions dropped by 1 percent. The United States is still the second-largest carbon polluter overall, emitting more than the next four largest polluting countries combined: India, Russia, Japan, and Germany.
Like EVERYTHING ELSE we have NOT a hole to fart out when it comes to ANY ISSUE in the world today.
China has been number one, since pushing past the United States in 2006. The world remains on a dangerous path, despite the recession, scientists said. “There’s a very clear gap between the path we are on and the path we should be on if the goal is to limit global warming....,’’ said Le Quere, who also works for the British Antarctic Survey.
Oooooh, a GLOBALIST PUKE PUSHING this CRAP!!!
Yeah, NOTHING about it SNOWING IN CHINA, huh?
"Obama arrived in the frigid Chinese capital....
FLASHBACK:
Censored Photo:
"DEADLY STORMS BLANKET CHINA -- Soldiers of the militia, a civilian reserve force under China's military, shoveled snow on a road in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. Unusually early snowstorms in north-central China have killed 40 people, caused thousands of buildings to collapse, and destroyed almost 500,000 acres of crops, the Civil Affairs Ministry said yesterday. Nineteen of the deaths resulted from traffic accidents related to the storms, which began Nov. 9 (Boston Globe November 14 2009)."

How many other things is the Boston Globe concealing?
I guess it would make all that GLOBAL WARMING TALK look FOOLISH and make the Globe look like a LIAR, huh?
Too late....
Outside scientists said the study was thorough and the results sobering.
Yup, the MSM ONLY TALKS to ONE GROUP of scientists!
That is why you can NO LONGER BELIEVE THEM!
People KNOW THEY ARE LIARS when they WALK OUTSIDE NOW!
That is why the global-farters have had to tell EVEN MORE EXTREME LIES!
See: Fart-Misters Dilemma
Yeah, HOW DO YOU FRIGHTEN the FUCK out of people with LIES so we can ADVANCE the AGENDA!!!
“Basically these numbers are screaming out at decision makers that whatever they are doing now is not working,’’ said University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, who wasn’t involved in the study. The report comes as countries from around the world prepare for a December United Nations conference on reducing carbon emissions.
Translation: It is an AGENDA-PUSHING PIECE of LIES and NONSENSE!!!!
Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen of Denmark, who will host the conference in Copenhagen, said yesterday that President Obama supported his proposal for a sweeping political deal that would include commitments by industrial countries to reduce carbon emissions and to provide funds for less developed countries to fight the effects of global warming.
PFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT!!!!!!

Yup, CAN NOT BELIEVE GOVERNMENT or MSM anymore because THEY LIE!!!!!!
Now I have to go out into the freezing cold if I want the daily morning shit-screed from the BG!
