    • YES!
      This is finally turning the corner ...perhaps we can make TV advertising for drugs illegal like cigarette ads...they do as much damage.
      I posted a link to

    • Pharmaceuticals serve one purpose: to make money for the rich bastards who own the corporations.

      Side effects may include: treating the symptoms (not the disease or individual) while creating new and worse ailments.

    • Apparently Merck is refusing to pay patients who live outside the US. Sure, no problem selling their drug all over the world, 400,000 were on it in the UK and 300 are taking action. But when it comes time to pay for damages, I guess they prefer to sit in court as long as possible before they're made to pay.

    • Bruce Anderson suffered heart failure from using Vioxx. After being sedentary for three years, he decided to enter a swimming competition. Nearly 60,000 people have been hurt by Vioxx.
