Obama wants to fund program to share private medical data with government!

WASHINGTON (PNN) - January 8, 2016 - During his recent State of the Union address, illegitimate dictator President Barack Obama made quick mention of a program he plans to unveil that will collect private medical information on Amerikans and share it across a gamut of government agencies, academic institutions, and the private sector. He calls it the "precision medicine initiative," a $215 million program that, while characterized as a way to increase knowledge on disease, is really just a covert data-mining scam with an Orwellian twist.

Ominously portentous of a future in which the government tracks every person's individual health profile in order to directly prescribe pharmaceuticals and vaccines as treatment, the initiative is described in media as a way to spark rapid development in medical research. Speaking directly to the Amerikan public, Obama admitted that the program will usher in "a new era of medicine" that "delivers the right treatment at the right time."

The specifics behind what constitutes "the right treatment" remain undisclosed, but we can only presume based on what has been said that the program will involve mapping the genes of individuals in order to assess which drugs or vaccines they need in order to meet government standards for health. Dr. David Altshuler, CEO of a company known as Vertex Pharmaceuticals that received an invitation to the White House for the event, added the following about what "precision medicine" means during a phone interview with CNBC.

Precision medicine is a new way of discovering medicines that target the underlying cause of disease. What distinguishes it is starting with a target that really is a root cause rather than one involved in symptoms of a disease, with the potential that a medicine will actually be able to modify the course of the disease, or even prevent the disease.

This might sound nice on the surface, but the type of "preventive" medicine being referred to here is preventive drugs that will literally alter human genes, much in the same way that genetically modified (GM) crops possess modified genes that perform various pre-determined functions. One example of this is a drug manufactured by Vertex that allegedly reverses the progression of cystic fibrosis.

The drug, known as Kalydeco, is the first ever to target the believed-to-be genetic causes of cystic fibrosis. It is among a new generation of drugs that's being fast-tracked through the Amerikan Gestapo Food and Drug Administration (FDA) division's approval process, having received approval in just three months as opposed to the accelerated six-month or standard 10-month approval time.

Part of the government's "precision medicine" program clearly involves rushing pharmaceuticals to market faster than ever, all on the presumption that this advanced form of medicine process will help patients in desperate need of relief. What it really does, of course, is allow drug companies to bypass the normal safety testing process and start raking in the profits more quickly than they ever have, putting patients at risk.

Vaccines will likely be included in the mix as well, considering that Obama made reference to the polio vaccine during his speech, attributing it to having "eliminated polio". Advanced vaccine approvals are already taking place under the guise of emergency medicine - remember the H1N1 vaccine? - so it's not much of a stretch to assume that the fascist government will one day have personalized vaccines for your specific genetic makeup.

In the meantime, the fascist government plans to perform gene sequencing on 1 million Amerikans to advance the program's agenda. Researchers across the public and private sectors will be privy to these data, which will ultimately "help shorten drug development timelines," according to reports.
