The FDA Wants Your Medical Records
In an unprecedented move the Department of Defense has agreed to share at least some of its 9.1 million medical records of military personnel and their families with the FDA. The FDA says it wants the information for improved safety monitoring of drugs. This “safety excuse” is a cover for the FDA to set up the technology to efficiently track the entire population’s medical records. By working with the military records the FDA can set up and perfect the IT technology required to do this.

The FDA knows that the next generation of drugs it is seeking to design, for which it will control all licensing and patent arrangements through the Regan-Udall Foundation for the FDA, will require that individuals not only hand over their medical records but their blood and DNA as well.

Big Brother is watching. And no doubt the DOD’s cozy new relationship with the FDA will enable the DOD to get medical records of its choice from the FDA in the future. The Department of Homeland Security would like to know everything there is to know about you, include a specific profile of your DNA. The dubious relationship between the health industry and the defense industry is longstanding and has very little to do with your health. To understand the history as well as what is in store read Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA’s Betrayal of America.
