they have published their findings in the journal "lancet."esearchers tested blood samples from hundreds of cows, goats, sheep and camels from oman, spain, and other countries. they found traces of antibodies linked to the mers virus in all 50 camel samples from oman. the traces indicate the camels were once infected. scientists note it is too early to identify the camels of the source of human infections. they say they need to determine whether infected people ate camel meat or if they came in contact with the animals. the mers corona virus belongs to the same family of virus that caused the sars. mers first appeared in saudi arabia in september 2012. the world health organization has so far confirmed 94 cases, 46 of them were fatal. >>> japan and the united states have failed to narrow their differences in the first round of their bilateral trade discussions. the two countries are holding talks while also taking part in the transpacific partnership free trade negotiations. the tpp involves ten other countries. japan and the united states wou

in 1998, there was one specific paper that was published in a medical journal called the "lancet" that was a case study of a dozen children that claimed to have found a connection between the measles virus and a gut disorder and then that gut disorder and autism. that paper has been not only completely disproven, the person who wrote that paper has lost his medical license. the paper has been retracted. so there is -- that notion has been refuted as soundly as it could possibly be. i think what we have seen here, unfortunately, is that it is much easier to scare a population than to unscare them. >> right. >> once you have infected a group of people with this information, it's very, very difficult to then get them to stop thinking about that. >> and part of this, and part of this, arthur, speaks to me about the way we think about medical authority, and i think there's a fine line between healthy distrust of medical authority, healthy distrust of necessarily what, for instance, the pharmaceutical industry wants you to believe about, for instance, restless leg syndrome or whatever new ma

the editor of the lancet of the british journal went so far to say that academic medical journals have become all little more than money laundering operations for the drug industry. meaning that the drug industry finances the study, but it's published under the name of a prestigious academic. it looks as if it has been conducted independently but in fact it's a foil for the drug industry standard. how does this affect us? even the antidepressant that were pulled off, the outcome of the law of the research that showed that the antidepressant were safe for children and teenagers but when the fda went back and look at the data from clinical trials the found that it wasn't in fact consistent with what these academics published in their own research. then you go back and look at the academic scientists who publish the papers and find out that nearly all of the authors had very significant financial ties to the anti-depressant manufacturers -- antidepressant manufacturers. if it becomes commercialized we lose one of the centers of independent critical fault in this country and that is very t

lancet people were coming from overseas. ellis island was about to open up on the upper class saw folks is a dangerous group. they saw them as poor, dirty, pulitzer didn't do them that way. he saw them as potential readers. so he went and what about their lives. the paper was a tiny tot falls to his death from his tenement loading. the upper class in such sensation is. they were missing the point. to the people of the lower east side in the overcrowded tenements, this was their life being portrayed in print. kids did fall to their death. in the summer was so hot in those buildings. this is the most densely populated place in the world. people would go up to the roof and children fall to their deaths and this is chronicled by the journalists. by writing about them, he was dignifying their lives. i have people, if you were to take me home, i bet on your refrigerator is a clipping of some sort that you've kept. your child's graduation, accomplishment of school. those events occurred. so why do we keep these? because writing in

we have a lancet that the doctor would have used to cut her open. we have some things about this morning. a black calling card -- his mourning. a black calling card to suggest he was in deep mourning. a book that was given to him by a friend of his that has a long inscription. it is a book called the mourner comforted help them read things that would help them along. jackson was completely devastated. had it with him all the time, on his chain or in his pocket or on his bedside table so that he could see it in the morning when he awakens. for her to die just as he was actually preparing the plan is to get on the steamboat to go to washington was almost more than he could deal with. this was painted while he was in washington after rachel's death. had it with him all the time, on his chain or in his pocket or on his bedside table so that he could see it in the morning when he awakens. she was with him pretty much all the time even though she had passed away. this was a book that was important to jackson. this was in rachel's psalm book. she made this

the editor of the lancet, the british medical journal went so far as to say that academic medical journals have become little more than money laundering operations for the drug industry. meaning that the drug industry finances the study but it's published under the name of the prestigious academic and looks as if it's been conducted academically but it's foil for the drug industry's spin. so how does this effect us? even the antidepressants that were recent he pulled off the market, i turns out academic scientists had conducted the early research that said that they were safe for the teenagers but when the f.d.a. went back they found that it wasn't in fact consistent with what the academics had published in their own research. then you go back and look at the academic scientists who published the papers and find out nearly all of the lead authors had significant ties to the antidepressant manufacturers. clearly, we lose one of our centers of independent critical thought in this country and that's very troubling. i really want to make sure that we keep focused also, this is not just about t
