The government's Healthy People program was started in 1979 during the administration of President Carter to expand health fascism from smokers to the population as a whole. James Mason, Julius Richmond, Edward Brandt Jr., Robert Windom, Philip Lee share their deluded premises and self-congratulatory feelings, Sep. 12, 2000.
"Reflections of Former Assistant Secretaries for Health"The first, de facto Assistant Secretary for Health was Boisfeuillet
Jones, the father of the publisher and CEO of the Washington Post
of
the same name. The early Surgeon General reports were put out by the
National Clearinghouse for Smoking and Health, which was part the
Regional Medical Programs established in 1965.
Promoting Health Preventing Disease; Objectives for the Nation came
out in November 1980. Isn't it wonderful to live in Bloodsucker Land,
where our bloodsucker dictators decree that, by 1990, 60% of physicians
must interogate their patients about "stress reduction techniques" and
"coping mechanisms," while the bloodsuckers spew their 24/7 stream of
lies and defamations and baboon-stupid pseudo-science in our faces.

Board of Directors / Friends of the National Library of MedicineWilliam H. Foege is a virologist, but he's a Lasker Syndicate virologist, meaning that he believes infection is only responsible for deaths from acute illnesses. He has helped to kill more people than smallpox because of this deluded belief. He and J. Michael McGinnis are the authors of the specious study of causes of death that was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1993, which the health fascists continue to use as their rationalization for meddling in peoples' lives.
J. Michael McGinnis has been an architect of health fascism since the 1970s. He has been a senior vice president at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation since 1999, and was a consultant prior to that.
Philip Lee's father wrote the Lasker national health plan during the Truman Adminsistration, and one of his father's cronies whom he met at the Bohemian Grove recruited him to push for the Lasker Medicaid program in 1965. Lee returned again during the Clinton Administration's Lasker-initiated push for a national health care program. Anti-smoking warhorses Lisa Bero and Stanton Glantz are on the staff at Lee's Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF.
Jo Ivey Boufford had a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellowship at the Institute of Medicine in 1979-80. She was an advisor to Lee during his service in the Clinton Administration, and Acting Assistant Secretary for Health after Lee's departure.

Roper was Special Assistant to the President for Health Policy from 1983 to 1986 in the Reagan Administration, then HCFA Administrator until 1989; and Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy and Director of the White House Office of Policy Development in the G.H.W.

seem to connect to Ruth Kirschstein," who with her husband Alan Rabson,
has been at the National Institutes of Health for 50 years. Plus, the
SV40-contaminated vaccine coverup.
