MAiD
I am on a listserve that includes Trudo Lemmens a vocal opponent of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Canada. Canada seems to be going about MAiD particularly enthusiastically. Quite apart from Trudo being a long standing friend, I am impressed with the coherence, morality and passion of his position.
There are others on the listserve like Jack Noble, mentioned some posts back, who have had brushes with serious illness and eloquently expressed a wish to have some control over the manner and timing of their passing. An increasing number of people probably feel this way.
Up till now my concerns with Canadian MAiD lay in two areas Trudo doesn’t cover. Young people with antidepressant induced treatment resistant depression (TRD) or post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) have turned to MAiD as a way out. I know 18 people who have MAiDed or Suicided in the last year or two for this reason.
Getting rid of drug induced problems this way doesn’t seem right. I invite people, who are in touch before MAiDing, to consider a hunger-strike outside the HQ of the company making the drug that caused their problem. The company wins if they just go quietly.
Coming to Jack, my problem with MAiD is this. If it were available over the counter so Jack and others were truly in control of it – this would be fine. It’s the prescription only status of it that worries me. I’m worried because everyone assumes doctors are nice people and cannot envisage the possibility that some of us might enjoy killing. Just like we once found it hard to believe clerics might abuse children.
If Jack approached me to help him exit and I agreed, I think he and the rest of you would be safer if I knew I might be charged with murder afterwards and required to present a case to a jury and Jack’s relatives. If they were persuaded I was helping Jack live the life (as it were) he wanted to live I think juries would acquit. Remove that oversight and I see abuse ahead.
Liberté Égalité Fertilité
Emmanuel Macron has put another option – Assistance in Dying Altruistically (AiDA) on my radar. Last week he announced a French Fertility Crisis. Invoking Wartime, he called for a Demographic Rearmament. A videoclip from his Press Conference features in Pharmageddon and HealthCare Climate Crisis.
Fertility rates are plummeting in the West (Japan, Australia etc). For forty years they have been below the 2.1 replacement rate. At 1.5, even if life expectancies were still increasing (which they have stopped doing), the population must decline. Japan is below 1.3 and estimates are it will have 80% of its current population in 2070. Spain and Italy are at 1.2 and estimates are they may only have 75% of their current population by 2050.
In addition to Macron’s video, Pharmageddon and HealthCare Crisis features a video lecture by Charles Medawar who coined the term Pharmageddon. Last week’s RxISK post Medicine, Civilization and Cradles covers other angles on this crisis.
We tend to think of what is happening in terms of an aging population – Vieillissement. It’s not. Youth are vanishing. There are fewer babies per woman and for two decades fewer women having babies. If we magically stopped the temperature rising now beyond 1.5 C, we are told the ice would still go on melting for decades. Prior temperature increases are built in.
As things stand, increasing fertility won’t now stop the population of young people falling. We are now opening nursing homes and closing schools. Hedge funds have spotted elder care facilities as the investment opportunity of choice.
Outside the US, social services and social structures were built on having 5 tax-payers per recipient of pensions etc in the 1960s. That fell to 3 per recipient in the 1980s. We now have 1.4 tax-payers per recipient.
The constant refrain with Covid was that we need to manage the virus not just to save lives but to prevent our health services being over-run and collapsing. Many people I know working in hospitals said this was a smokescreen for health services already cut to the bone and collapsing in countries from Canada to France.
Part of this collapse stems from putting vast amounts of health dollars into funding drugs given to healthy people for risk factors, which rather than keeping people out of hospital, as company adverts suggest, increase the risk of them ending up in hospital. It is likely that more than half of current hospital treatment centers on repairing the harms done by prior treatment.
Part of our problem stems from our inability to extract tax dollars from the wealthy. The Mephistophelean pact we now have lets Hedge Funds take over social care and elder care and then extract our tax dollars from social welfare budgets. It’s no longer Emmanuel, Justin, Bill or Rishi getting our tax dollars, it’s a Hedge Fund
Hedge Funds are also buying up housing stock and apartments for rent. This privatization lays the basis for one of the two major points Emmanuel and everyone else makes about fertility – people put off having children till they can afford housing and the age they can do this is getting pushed back to an age where women’s fecundity is rapidly declining.
This supposedly explains why for the first time in history, women over 30, who are less fecund, and turning to IVF/ART, which has a low success rate, are having more children than women under 30.
There has been much talk about diverting public funds into affordable housing and providing other incentives to women to have the 2.3 children they say they want. But there are no funds in the public purse to do this. We blame the 1% who are not paying taxes but it’s not less and less funds in the public purse – there is less and less of a public.
Liberal democracy depends on this public base. Perhaps this is why Vladimir and Xi are pretty sure the days of liberal democracy are over.
The political perception of a looming crisis goes back to the 1990s. In 2005 George W Bush picked up Clinton-Gore plans to reform the much thinner US social security net. Without reform W said, we will be faced with impossible choices between – “staggering tax increases, immense deficits, or deep cuts in every category of spending”.
Part of the Bush-Clinton-Gore idea was to get ordinary folk to pay their benefits into hedge funds who could buy up social care and housing stock – in some sense, we could be told we owned it.
Liberals were outraged. Tax the wealthy was the answer. Even some of the wealthy began pleading to be taxed.
Trudo’s, my Trudo not Canada’s Trudeau, response to people opting for MAiD because there is no other ‘treatment’ and no social supports is to insist we should not let the State neglect its duties and actively or passively push people into dying for want of ‘Care’. This response might once have been called Liberal but as it’s the Liberal Party pushing MAiD in Canada, Liberal no longer seems the right word.
It is hard to argue with Trudo’s point but, as Macron seems keenly aware, current population dynamics mean it will now take decades before we can do this.
Salomé
President Macron’s new policy is heavily influenced by Salomé Berlioux and La Peau des Pêches, her book about her infertility. Salomé was under 30 when she had to face the prospect of infertility. As she portrays it, this was a couple issue, neither him nor her.
Salomé and Samir Hamamah lay the basis for Emmanuel’s demographic rearmament in:
Rapport sur les causes d’infertilité : Vers une stratégie nationale de lutte contre l’infertilité
Besides Hedge Funds laying a no risk bet on women’s ovaries beginning to fail by the age of 30, their report outlines another factor in Rearmament – perturbateurs endocriniens – endocrine disrupting chemicals.
In a 137 page report, over 50 pages are given over to these PEs, as found in air, water, food, places of work, cosmetics, plastics etc, with the different classes of tricky agents we are besieged by almost lovingly described.
One page, in contrast, is given to prescription drugs which, like the SSRIs and other psychotropic drugs, are more potent endocrine disruptors than anything else we have. No mention of drug names here, or drug classes other than the cytotoxic drugs and over-the-counter poisons like alcohol, nicotine and cannabis – see Sex, Fertility, France and Serotonin.
This dynamic seems to map onto a Rapists and Abusers are always Strangers dynamic when in fact Familiars, known to us, are more likely to be the Rapists and Abusers. Pesticides are strange to us, and easily blamed, like immigrants. Our SSRIs are familiar, accessed through the comforting reassurance of a doctor, who tells us there can be no harm.
SSRIs wipe out sperm counts, cause implantation failures, miscarriages and birth defects but above all are leading to younger people having less sex and if they get PSSD unable to have sex.
See Medicine, Civilization and Cradles, Sex, Fertility and SSRI Timeline.
In terms of what comes next, note there is a rapidly growing Male Infertility Industry along with MAiC medical assistance in conception, aka AMP assistance médicale à la procreation, aka IVF, aka ART – all of which at present have dismal success rates but all of which point to our growing belief in technologies.
Our From Cradle to Grave framing of life may need to be replaced with From MAiC to MAiD.
Alternate Solutions
1A. A vast increase in immigration.
Some countries will deny citizenship to immigrants – Japan, Germany, and Switzerland. The US prided itself on taking people in and making them citizens, but this was when they had a West where people could go. In a lot of countries, possibly including the US still, a majority of current citizens will likely see the need for immigration and welcome diversity, but others won’t. A currently very hot political issue seems likely to get hotter
Spain is estimated to need several million immigrants pretty soon to avoid its social structure collapsing.
Despite riots linked to non-native communities feeling alienated by France’s ideal of universality, until recently in official statistics, the French felt reasonably comfortable with immigration at a 50,000 per year rate. It has just jumped to 200,000 and will be a key card across Europe in June elections.
In Germany, right wing parties have coined a new term to add to Great Replacement ideas – Remigration. Trains East anyone?
The Main News on BBC and French radios today cover the rise of the Right in Germany and the acceptability of referring Remigration which German commentators saying investment in Germany will dry up because without migrants there are not enough workers. While in Frances, as in the UK, the news is one third of births have a parent born outside Europe.
Britain is paralyzed by its inability to not just stem a flood of possibly 400,000 migrants per year but even to process them. It is desperately trying to put them on planes to Rwanda and pay Rwanda lots of money to keep them there – while at the same finding it has been accepting refugees from Rwanda.
1B. Immigrants and Communities
Whatever about citizenship, given the effects of SSRIs – Sex, Fertility and SSRI Timeline – if immigrants become not just the way to fund current social security but perhaps offer a mass surrogacy program to kickstart a demographic rearmament rather than replacement, they will have to be prevented from taking Western Meds
Non-native doctors, for instance, will have to stop telling the communities they come from to stop stigmatizing mental illness and antidepressants. Stop telling their parents and siblings not to opt for community support rather than Western technical advances.
This will be a very un-comfortable step for the French who pride themselves at aiming at universality and are wary of the idea of communities.
When the histories of this period are written, will Western technical advances, like the SSRIs, be seen as advances in therapeutic techniques or advances in propaganda techniques?
When Trudo talks about MAiD he finds it hard to resist a jab at Stan Kutcher, a Liberal Party Senator, who is a leading pusher of MAiD in Canada. Given the demographic doomsday we face, perhaps future generations won’t view Stan Kutcher in the light Trudo now views him.
But, of course, Trudo (and I) also mention SK’s role in Study 329 and his links to GSK. The spinning of an ineffective and dangerous drug as safe and effective is emblematic of what has led to the current problem. So maybe SK won’t be viewed in such a good light.
2. Assistance in Dying Altruistically (AiDA)
Many people on the listserve including Jack and I are all part of what might once have expected to be the pointy top of the population pyramid. The pyramid, however, has inverted and we are now part of a top-heavy bit balanced, with an ever increasing wobble, on a pointy base. We all have children, who likely won’t easily be able to get housing and have our grandchildren who might in several decades time stabilize the pyramid.
For those who haven’t heard The Grand March from AiDA – its worth listening to.
Verdi’s AiDA essentially altruistically committed suicide by hiding in the prison of her love Radames, who was condemned to death for love of her over country. There could be no better name for this option.
Who’s for AiDA?
3. The Shipwreck Option
Shipwreck of the Singular develops ideas in Pharmageddon, the book. The book took 4 years to get published. There was no prospect of Shipwreck being published by a mainstream publisher. A new publishing venture, a co-operative had to be set up Samizdat Health.
Co-operatives may be part of the social capital we need to invest in as capital goes out of fashion. Co-operatives were once a way in between capital and labor. They were not a wishy-washy, middle of the road, we believe in nothing movement – much more a we believe in each other movement as the Irish name for its cooperative movement, Sinn Fein, indicates.
Shipwreck is built on the idea that we need biological answers to our current problems.
The 1930s and 1940s saw an embrace of biological determinism with biological answers to social problems being promoted and put into action in German hospitals and on Trains heading East.
The biological answer now needed is a reverse biological determinism. Biology is a source of diversity. Social structures give us Standardization. At the very least the answer we now need is to reduce heavily standardized therapy burdens, primarily medication burdens.
Written 6 years ago, Shipwreck ends with what still appears to be a unique proposal for an escape route from the difficulties Emmanuel and Salomé and an increasing number of folk are grappling with. You’ll have to buy it to find out what that escape is. It’s not AiDA.
‘the hum of an efficient engine of death.’
These are very important observations to make.
1985 Volunteers like Traci Johnson below in company SSRI Phase 1 trials – viz fluoxetine, sertraline, duloxetine, paroxetine studies commit suicide, become aggressive, become dependent after exposures of only 2 weeks
1987 By 1987 published SSRI trials show an excess of suicidal events on SSRIs.
‘But, of course, Trudo (and I) also mention SK’s role in Study 329 and his links to GSK. The spinning of an ineffective and dangerous drug as safe and effective is emblematic of what has led to the current problem.’
Important people — prominent politicians, physicians, and judges — promised Canadians that their rights to autonomy would be expanded. But the picture that emerges is not a new flowering of autonomy but the hum of an efficient engine of death.
https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/no-other-options
A core reason that Canada’s assisted dying program has grown so much faster than any other program in the world is that it is the most permissive. Eligibility criteria began loose and are rapidly getting looser. You do not need to be terminally ill, only to have a “grievous and irremediable” condition, a standard that is open to significant differences in interpretation. In March 2023, mental illness alone will qualify as an acceptable medical reason to die. And the Quebec College of Physicians now suggests that Parliament expand euthanasia eligibility to minors and even newborns.

“Even doctors can doctor-shop.”
Could Macron buy it?
This post is going to take no more comments about MAiD per se. It is not about MAiD – its about the factors that are closing in on Western economies that mean they are going to go bankrupt and the possible solutions for that .
Among the possible solutions are
1. Increase Fertility
2. Increase Automation so we don’t need as many workers
3. Increase Immigration – provided the immigrants work and/or have children who identify as French or German or whatever.
Only after this do we enter into domains like
4. Get older people to voluntarily cast off their mortal coil
5. Incorporate an elimination of the inefficient and unfit into the medical mission
When we get to options like option 5 we are back in the 1930s. Where we have gone before we can always go again. The questions facing us are :
1. Are there any other options
2. What are the drivers to what is happening ?
Zygmunt Bauman wrote Modernity and the Holocaust which said yes we can and will go there again. He followed that up with Liquid Modernity, Liquid Times and Liquid Fear. Technocratic politics from the Left and Right following targets have created the liquidity we have now where people move to where the jobs are – they are no longer rooted in places and cultures and relationships they were once rooted in. He would likely say to Macron, Biden, Trump and other Western politicians that they have created the liquidity that is coming home to roost in Western democracies.
David
I perhaps should add some points. A draft of this post went to the listserve mentioned. All of the responses focussed on MAiD – none on the deeper issue. MAiD is a superficial aspect of some deeper issues and for the moment I can do without any more MAiD comments but comments about possible deeper issues and solutions other than MAiD are welcome.
There will be a further post about what I think are the deeper issues next week – tentatively called Technological Assistance in Living – TAiL Wags God

Why would it be so disastrous if the populations fertility shrinks even more and therefore the size of the economy shrinks.. We could live on less. Profiteering would become more difficult – if we all had less to spend the cost of eg housing or clothing and food would come down according to the less money we had to spend Producers wouldn’t want to just hoard their goods . The economy needs wealth but if fertility is decreasing we will have fewer mouths to feed. There are tech farming methods which use less people power which could be used, if local needs were met due to lower population numbers as there would be a surplus to help struggling countries including those being destroyed by war .Or the surplus would just go to waste.
The more children are born the more costly it is to the economy. A child needs looking after for n years to come, There would be fewer elderly people needing to be looked after without any gruesome solutions necessary. Perhaps more of us would be more content to live in a shrinking more human world where those in need of health services would actually be treated with kindness and respect as again fewer people equals more time to care. It’s not harking back to the past but a future where once more ordinary people instead of being ground down and made ill by society could enjoy being alive without being stuffed with drugs or made to jump through capitalist hoops in order to survive Forget who wrote it but there was a warning by a poet in the olden days ‘What is this world if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare…………’
The economic problems current policymakers grapple with is you need a certain ratio of taxpayers to benefit recipients for benefits to work. If there are too many over 65s per under 65 tax payer then our current system won’t work.
If new tech as for instance farming or A.I. helps solve the worker problem. there is still the problem of no workers paying taxes.
We are likely facing a need to restructure. This will involve addressing the question of where the wealth of a country lies. Are the people just a bunch of ants doing the ant-work or are people the wealth of a country because that’s where creativity comes from. If they are the wealth of the country, then the distribution of income-resources in some way needs to reflect that.
This seems to mean that as the people who labor to produce wealth and produce wealth in the sense of do the primary people making through childhood and the primary people making through Care – where care means the most likely people to agree for instance that you have been harmed by a drug and help you get listened to – rather than just clean bottoms and make beds – then women will be the primary wealth creators. Men will be useful to have around but the wealth of society will need redistributing and something will need to be done to ensure that women’s voices are heeded.
In a situation like this, fertility will be celebrated in its own right, rather than seen as a means to entice corporations to invest in our country – offering our children up to them.
This was all in Shipwreck when first written 6 years ago.

. People have children for the happiness they bring. But a smaller population not as a policy simply wouldn’t be having as many The last fiddling around with taxes by the government in uk and probably everywhere else ensured the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The great divide makes sure the rich know nothing of the reality and don’t care anyway Our taxes ,we have no say in how they are spent, are not used to make ‘benefits’ enough to live on. They are not meant to .Many Farmers are split they know tech will earn more money but they also know it is not a healthy way to feed populations They pay more tax but it makes people ill. Those who leave still pay taxes doing other work. There are proposals to yet again to ‘get them back to work’ in jobs where the level of tax paid is minimal .There is untold wealth floating around but challenge that and the accusations of envy are used People have eyes to see the gap is widening and taxes don’t protect us. people in UK are suffering from poverty ensuring they die earlier than the rich and use drugs to deal with the stress of living in a failed society..There is a proposal to start enlisting our youngsters into combat readiness for a war – we know who will be the losers . Milliones of dead people won’t be paying taxes. Which section of society is always in power. It’s not just a problem with men. There were huge numbers of women who tortured, experimented on and killed their ‘sisters’ in the last world war and they are freed It could happen again and does of course It’s more than a gender thing but i agree how society is structured . it cant just be through voting , There are some decent peole but it enable people at the top to wield unaccountable immoral power.Only a tiny number get prosecuted because the prosecuters are from the same group in society . The justice system needs to change as well We will never change the flaws in human beings altogether I have lost track of all the investigations into corruption which caused knowing harms including deaths which amount to the murder of citizens and those at the head who pay enormous amount of tax at society’s expense still have positions in areas of power which decide how we are governed Tax payers money is being poured into rich people peoples’ pockets to defend corrupt politicians and corporations.
By the way I passed your book around a number of womens’ groups so hope some of the message will be heeded. There’s plenty of Womens’ (and mens’)groups but they continue the same old ways and they don’t have much lasting effect – the ‘leaders’ don’t last long and the same old power games develop. The ones that do are mainly small local groups in their own communities running without tax payers money doing much more than wiping bottoms. They are ususally in so called ‘deprived areas’ where tax payers money is non existent
CDC warns about RSV vaccine administration errors in babies, and pregnant women
Prescribers have been told not to use these vaccines on pregnant women or babies so presumably the known adverse effects discovered during the trials were serious enough for that ‘do not use warning’
Something smells a bit fishy here – never mind they will all be let off the hook.I say so because only very small numbers of adverse effects get reported so it’s not known how many women and babies have been effected or what the long term effects might be. The issue is just played down.
Prescribers have been told not to use these vaccines on pregnant women or babies so presumably the known adverse effects discovered during the trials were serious enough for that ‘do not use warning’
But none of the errors are considered serious and no reports describe exactly what ‘non-serious’ effects were recorded.
This is the definition of adverse effects given on the official site;-
Serious adverse event report ― These reports meet the definition of “serious” specified by the Code of Federal Regulations because one of the following is reported: death, life-threatening illness, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, permanent disability, congenital anomaly, or birth defect.
Non-serious adverse event report ― These reports do not meet the regulatory definition of a serious adverse event report. (worse than laughable)
1 VAERS (managed by CDC and FDA) is a passive surveillance system that is used to detect possible vaccine safety problems and also monitors for vaccination errors. VAERS reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable and VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem. VAERS data are updated frequently and may change. VAERS reports that meet certain criteria are classified as serious.

The U.S. govt is withholding knowledge of fraud in these clinical trials. I’ve shown them mountains of evidence; handed it right to them.
Why won’t any agency listen? Because they know an internal Pfizer audit of this RSV trial paused the entire racket at Ventavia, my former employer. Too many dead babies, other serious adverse events & a whistleblower that just won’t shut up to keep it going, AND findings from this investigation turn the allegations I’ve made in the COVID trials in to cold, hard FACTS!

Reminder of Recommendations for Seasonal Administration of Maternal RSV Vaccine
When broken, damaged, hurting human beings turn to the health services industry for succor, instead of being given meaningful help they are given neurotoxins with a known link to worsening depression and suicidality going back for decades, in combinations that have never been tested, for years and years beyond the duration of any clinical trial. Then, when they become depressed and suicidal, they offer the assisted suicide.
I cannot find the words to describe how appalling this is.

GSK posts blowout RSV vaccine sales, raises outlook as shots give big pharma a boost
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/gsk-posts-blowout-rsv-vaccine-sales-raises-outlook-as-shots-give-big-pharma-a-boost/ar-BB1hyit2
The company’s RSV shot in part drove the higher forecast. The vaccine is approved for use in adults aged 60 and older, but could eventually get a greenlight for those ages 50 to 59, Chief Executive Officer Emma Walmsley said on a media call.
Pfizer aims to increase its RSV market share by establishing vaccination as a “year-round discussion” and expanding the company’s retail contracting and offerings, CEO Albert Bourla said during an earnings call Tuesday. The company is also examining the shot in people ages 18 to 59.
Bourla said during a conference earlier this month that the shot had a “bad launch.”
Meanwhile, biotech company Moderna hopes to launch its own RSV vaccine this year.
GSK settles Zantac case in California without admitting liability

GSK announced on Thursday that it had reached a confidential settlement to effectively resolve the legal case over Zantac filed in a California state court.
The FTSE 100 pharmaceutical giant firm said a trial was originally scheduled for 20 February, but the case would now be dismissed.
GSK said it was committed to avoiding prolonged litigation-related distractions.
It noted that it did not admit any liability as part of the settlement, adding that it remained dedicated to defending itself against other Zantac-related cases.
Zantac, or ranitidine, was once a blockbuster heartburn medication for GSK, but was withdrawn from sale worldwide in 2020 after a probable carcinogen was discovered in products from a number of manufacturers.
At 1034 GMT, shares in GSK were up 0.63% at 1,577.8p.

Updated Covid vaccine has 54% effectiveness, new data suggest
“We know that Covid is continuing to cause thousands of hospitalizations and hundreds of deaths in this country each week,” Link-Gelles, the vaccine effectiveness program lead in the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told STAT. “And 50% added protection against Covid-19 is really going to be a meaningful increase in protection, especially for those at highest risk.”
https://www.statnews.com/2024/02/01/updated-covid-vaccine-effectiveness/?utm_campaign=daily_recap&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=292430862&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9BYr2Ps9cnYiWp-Q5qG2ZMtbaUK8C-LmMWmzTCIEMuR-jfNaCNYNVsYZ4aX6abGsuZ9DoOBfsitNvKoFU7IoZKQNvvrA&utm_content=292430862&utm_source=hs_email
Though Covid transmission has begun to subside somewhat in the country, Link-Gelles said people who have not yet received the latest version of the vaccine should still do so.
“Especially for our highest-risk individuals — people who are pregnant, people who have high-risk conditions — it’s really important to go out if you have not already and get that vaccine this year.”
