But 40 percent of physicians surveyed by the Kaiser Family Foundation in 2007 didn't--and 74 percent disapproved.

No, the AMA's "issues agenda" is as plain as the drug ads which adorned its website as recently as 2007.

Why, for example, does it resolve this year to go after hormone selling "for-profit Web sites, anti-aging clinics and compounding pharmacies," when it has given hormone giant Wyeth who's hoaxed women into cancer causing hormone therapy for four decades a pass?

Why resolve this year there is "no need" for more research into a vaccine/autism connection and support "universal vaccination" while pledging to explore non-vaccine links further? Maybe green beans?

Why ignore the taxpayer funded warehousing of so many of the nation's children, poor and elderly on "atypical antipyschotics" even as over 20 states sue?

And why ignore the epidemic of veteran suicides and suicides on asthma, seizure, pain and anti-smoking medications approved as "safe"?

No, in a year in which two leading researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital, two at Emory University and one at the University of Minnesota are exposed for conducting checkbook science and pay-for-play drug schemes that promote unsafe drugs, the AMA wants to talk about Vitamin D.

Maybe it's someone else who should get booed.
