Inept Vanda CatsEO brags about award from bogus physician group

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. PCRM is a fanatical animal rights group that seeks to remove eggs, milk, meat, and seafood from the American diet, and to eliminate the use of animals in scientific research. Despite its operational and financial ties to other animal activist groups and its close relationship with violent zealots, PCRM has successfully duped the media and much of the general public into believing that its pronouncements about the superiority of vegetarian-only diets represent the opinion of the medical community. Less than 5 percent of PCRM’s members are physicians.

While PCRM presents itself as a doctor-supported, unbiased source of health guidance, the group’s own literature echoes Newsweek’s observation that 95 percent of its members have no medical degrees. And even the five-percent doctor membership that PCRM claims is open to question. Anyone claiming to be a physician or a medical student can join without paying a dime — even if their only motivation is to collect free waiting-room reading material. Current data indicates that only 10 percent of PCRM’s members graduated from medical school

The American Medical Association (AMA), which actually represents the medical profession, has called PCRM a “fringe organization” that uses “unethical tactics” and is “interested in perverting medical science.”PCRM is a font of medical disinformation. The group has argued, with a straight face, that experiments involving animal subjects “interfere with new drug development.” PCRM even rejects the consensus of the respectable medical community by claiming that animal experimentation “leads AIDS research astray.”

PCRM discourages Americans from making donations to health charities like the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the American Foundation for AIDS Research, the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, the American Red Cross, and even Boys Town. All because they support research that requires animals, in order to cure human diseases. PCRM’s multi-year crusade against the March of Dimes, which includes protests directed at March walkers, volunteers, and donors, has been reported widely

AND the Washington DC based group has a psychiatrist running the show. HMM. Imagine that.

Thank you for embarrassing Vanda yet again.

 

CatsE0 was a slip I assume but who cares. That award is more worthless than if it came from Dr Phil or Dr Oz. Pompous Dr P assumes people are dumb. PCRM has been a huge joke for years and everyone knows that but him.

 

HAHAHA. All hail the great and mighty Mihales.

 

The CEO of the bogus "physician" group is an associate professor at GWU, Vanda HQ is at the corner of GWU. Dr Poly got his neighbor to give him an award. WOW. That is so special. I may ask my neighbor to give me a bogus award.

 

It is time for a change at the helm. This CEO is purely delusional.
