The Corporate Capture of Democracy (and Community Pharmacy)
GetUp! sent me an email that included the following words: “Major corporations in Australia just threatened a $20 million campaign blitz, to hold onto their power and avoid scrutiny of their scandalous conduct.

How Australia is losing the health fight
Imagine telling the good folk of 1990 that in the near future, we’d be redesigning hospitals to accommodate the influx of obese patients.Or that almost all of our sporting legends would be contractually obliged to advertise alcohol. Or most kids would be driven less than a kilometre to and from school. Twenty-five years ago, these…

The Lessons From History – From Someone Who Has Lived It
Two weeks ago we published an article called Make the Right Turn at the Next Crossroads . It was based on a story written by a senior US pharmacist named Truman Lastinger and published in the US magazine, Drug Topics.

Japan stopped recommending HPV Vaccines in 2014!
All Australian adolescent girls and boys participating in school-based HPV vaccination programs need to be aware that the Japanese government placed a moratorium on the use of HPV vaccines (Gardasil) in 2014 and many other countries are considering similar action. This was due to its unproven outcomes. Gardasil and its GlaxoSmithKline equivalent, Cervarix, are vaccines which claim to…

Murdoch Press Continues to Drive an Alarmist Zika Virus Agenda

Dumbing us Down with the Zika Virus
When a television report was released on Australian TV showing a number of Brazilian infants affected by a condition called Microcephaly, a condition in which infants are born with smaller than normal brains, alarmist media reports surfaced simultaneously.

The Evolution of the Walk-In Clinic to Urgent Care Clinic
Australian pharmacy is now well behind its US and UK counterparts in the development of walk-in clinics and appears almost frightened, certainly reluctant, to build on this obvious platform that has proven successful in re-aligning many large pharmacy groups back to a balanced core health business. CVS in the US appears to be the main…
