October test (thread) @VPrasadMDMPH @adamcifu @EricTopol @HealthWatchUK
1) Let’s suppose that you screen for cancer people aged 50 to 75 years every 2 years and remove all the cancers you detect for 25 years.
After 25 years of this, in people over 75 years, will you find:
2) Answer: fewer prostate cancers; but more breast cancers.
In 75+ year olds: Corcos & Bleyer, NEJM, 2020
3) Why are there more cancers in old women after mammography screening?
4)
3a. Radiation causes cancer.
You are right. The phenomenon is seen in registries from every country where it is studied:
biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
researchgate.net/project/A-mamm…
5)
3b. Can’t be X-rays because the dose of radiation for a mammo is the same amount a woman would get from her natural surroundings over 7 weeks, right?
- Sure. Swallowing all your pills at once is the same as taking them in 7 weeks.
6)
3c. Don’t know but in case of doubt, I prefer to take the risk of causing cancers (precaution principle). Correlation is not causation. Could be that X-rays are caused by cancer.
7) Who is to blame for mammography-induced cancers?
a) The screening program organizers
b) The scientist who discovered mammography causes cancer
8) Who has been punished for it?
a) The screening program organizers
b) The scientist who discovered mammography causes cancer
9)
a) The organizers: wrong answer.
b) The scientist : right. I have been fired from the INSERM.

L’article d’EPI-PHARE sur le vaccin anti-Covid qui protège de toutes les maladies et fait revenir l’être aimé nous a valu une bonne tranche de rigolade, mais je voudrais revenir sur un aspect plus sérieux de cette affaire.
1/
Cet article est un bon témoin du niveau de nullité et de corruption systémique de l’épidémiologie française, ce milieu qui a été complice de mon renvoi de l’@Inserm par Yves Lévy (le mari de Buzyn) en 2018, pour la découverte des cancers causés par les mammographies.
2/
Nullité d’abord. Pour la petite histoire on a pu voir Catherine Hill, la papesse de l’épidémiologie française, justifier la fraude Surgisphère (qui venait de créer un scandale sans précédent en inventant ses données) par le fait que les résultats étaient valables malgré tout.

Those who blame @NIHDirector_Jay should understand that our common adversaries are in the Pentagon. Their budget is larger than that of the NIH. They will always invoke national security.
But they have an Achilles heel.
Please RT

1) There is no justification for concealing the risk of X-rays other than to protect themselves.
2) Anyone can verify that mammography screening has been followed by a wave of cancers in older women that cancels out the benefits of screening (Corcos & Bleyer, NEJM, 2020).
2/
If everyone who sees this information spreads it, the US military's responsibility will eventually become known.

Dear Peter, as you rightly noted: "Many cancer screening trials randomise participants between invitation/no invitation to screening. The effect of lack of compliance with the allocated intervention is often catastrophic."
1/
Despite these limitations, most mammography screening trials indicate a benefit on breast cancer mortality.
It would be preferable to evaluate mammography screening based on the long-term effect of implementing screening programs on breast cancer mortality.
2/
However, all studies are consistent: there is no long-term reduction in breast cancer mortality following screening.

Fil sur mon renvoi de l’@Inserm pour la découverte des cancers causés par les mammographies par Yves Lévy, l’ami de Fauci.
Ce dernier était à la tête de la biodéfense américaine et c'est à lui nous devons la pandémie de Covid qui a fait des millions de morts.
🧵
1/
Tout ce que j’y affirme est vérifiable. Les informations sont soit dans le fil, soit disponibles sur demande.
2/
J’ai travaillé dans l’équipe d’Yves Lévy de 2009 à 2012, date à laquelle il m’a renvoyé de son équipe. Mon projet concernait des lymphocytes dont j’essayais de montrer qu’ils étaient à l’origine d’une forme de leucémie.

10-Year Timeline on Discovering Cancers Caused by Mammograms

🧵
1/
2014
On David Gorski's blog, I learn (belatedly) that mammography screening has not reduced breast cancer mortality. In the comments, I make the hypothesis that this is due to cancers caused by mammography radiation.
2/
2015
Welch and Gorski publish an article in the New England Journal of Medicine showing that mammography screening has not decreased the incidence of metastatic breast cancer. I post a comment on the journal website suggesting this could be due to cancers caused by mammograms.

Why Cancers Caused by Mammography Pose a Serious Problem for the U.S. Department of Defense.
🧵
1/
After the atomic bombings in Japan in 1945, the U.S. government presented nuclear weapons as conventional bombs of extraordinary power, dismissing reports of radiation sickness as Japanese propaganda.

2/npr.org/2020/08/19/903…
However, not only was radiation sickness undeniable, but even then, it was foreseeable that radiation exposure could lead to cancers.
