Brave New World of Zero Risk

In 1997, New Labour brought to power a strange brew of liberalism,

anti-socialism, public relations and corporate lobbying. While

Thatcher had encouraged the pharmaceutical industry, Blair made it

a partner in government. The National Health Service, set up

originally to provide health care to the British people regardless

of income, has been sold off bit by bit, mainly to pharmaceutical

interests. The most serious consequence of ceding to corporate

interests responsibility for science, medicine and health, is that the

independence of science and any possible independence of health care

has been sacrificed. Corporate lobby groups, in bed with Big Pharma,

insurance companies and New Labour, now press for the least expensive

and the most profitable health care solutions. They

attack alternative medicine and campaign for animal testing and

vivisection. They have politicised science and now control its

methodology and its research results. Using spin, lies and

propaganda they harass and isolate anyone who comes to conclusions

critical of new technology or pharma-science. They preach zero

risk and claim that new technologies can cause no harm.

This book examines the contemporary corporate politics of science

in two areas, that of MMR (mumps, measles and rubella) vaccination and

the illness ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis). It shows how those who

have fought for independent science have been bullied, attacked and

discredited, using political strategies that have nothing to do with

science and everything to do with power and profit.
