Mercury Amalgam Fillings: Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics

Recently I reported on the methodology and machinations involved in vaccine-related injury cover-ups by the elitists in science and government at the Simpsonwood Conference on Thimerosal in vaccines. A new scandal has been recently released concerning the safety of mercury contained in dental amalgam, which is of equal magnitude and again showing the modus operandi of the government/elitist scientists coalition. The official name of the report is: Dental Amalgam: A Scientific Review and Recommended Public Health Service Strategy for Research, Education and Regulation. This report is described as the Trans-agency Working Group on the Health Effects of Dental Amalgam, which included representatives of the National Institutes of Health, the Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Office of the Chief Dental Officer of the Public Health Service. These organizations requested that the Life Sciences Research Office (LSRO) as a subcontractor of BETAH Associates undertake an independent third-party review of the topic. BETAH received the contract from the Department of Health and Human Services without bidding, as is proscribed by law. To carry out this mandate, they were asked to consider peer-reviewed, primary scientific and medical literature published between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 2003 addressing this specific question. This begins our lesson in how to cover-up a major health disaster using scientific “evidence-based” methods meant to impress the media and public at large. In this review, I will consider only the Executive Summary, which is written for the media and the lay public.
