I would guess the scamming has been around since the polio days in the 1950's. This was the launching platform for big pharma medical tyranny and terrorism. No terrorists have murdered this many people and yet our government fully approves without question.

I like the parallel, It fits with the NHS view that you can take safety from aviation and apply it to Health - total BS for a number of reasons that incentivise aviation but not health

1. Planes cost circa £100 million, you don't want to lose one; on the other hand patients are free and plentiful.

2. The pilot hits the ground first and is therefore heavily incentivised to get it right - the pharma executive, politician or medic doesn't even reach the ground

3 Have a plane crash and it reduces passenger confidence in your airline - there is little choice with the NHS, except to take your ball home away from all the purported preventative advice.

Have a good Festive Season
