So a useless drug has made billions and took 30 years to be taken off the market . And who knows what damage it’s done ? Can we go back to being suspicious of pharmaceutical companies and the fda ?
- relistan 2y agoIt was on the market more like fifty years.
- tonymet 2y agoWow that’s even more alarming
- Suppafly 2y agoI don't think it's done any damage, it's just not effective.
- mrob 2y agoWasting people's money is damage.
- whamlastxmas 2y agoPreventing people from getting real medical care due to fraud is absolutely damage.
- rustcleaner 2y agoThis is why sovereign immunity needs to be rescinded: bad law should get politicians incarcerated for long periods of time and their assets stripped to help pay back the treasury for the piles of money it should be printing and handing its victims. It should also be legal to lie to police while they're barred from lying to you (again, at threat of incarceration). We are supposed to be sovereign, not them!
- Suppafly 2y ago>Preventing people from getting real medical care due to fraud is absolutely damage. Sure, but I don't think you could reliably charge that, at least in the US, where homeopathic medicines with absolutely no effect are allowed to be sold. We're talking about over the counter remedies for temporary sinus congestion often caused by pollen allergies, not prescription medicines that treat actual serious conditions.
- tonymet 2y agoEvery treatment has ill effects . Look at the number of liver failures from Tylenol
- Suppafly 2y ago>Every treatment has ill effects Not necessarily.
- tonymet 2y agocan you give an example?
- Suppafly 2y agoGiving you the benefit of the doubt, I think you mean mean that everything has side effects, not that everything has actual ill effects. But even then, not everything has measurable side effects. There is a common saying of "the dose makes the poison" for a reason. I'll leave it up to you to think up some examples, they are innumerable.
- briandear 2y agoSome of us were suspicious all along. Especially of Pfizer. But such suspicions became socially dangerous right around the time that Pfizer stood to make multiple billions selling a novel treatment for a recent pandemic.

- immibis 2y agoLet's be honest about this: the reasons people were skeptical of COVID-19 vaccines had nothing to do with the actual corruption in the pharmaceutical industry, and everything to do with the corruption stories told by people who profit when more people die.
- tonymet 2y agoI still don’t get it . Is the corruption there or not ?
- aucisson_masque 2y agoNo you're believing in conspiracies. It would require the whole scientist communities and the sanctioning organisations to work together in order to validate a drug that is basically infective. Because you see before a drug is out on the market there are a lot of testing on animals, then humans and they have control group to measure how effective (or not) it is. Things like that CANT happen. Obviously I'm being sarcastic, that's the usual argument: you can't possibly have all scientist and federal organisation work together on malicious drugs. The truth is that it happens, see that drug or the oxycontin. It just requires some shity people and the rest of scientist community to not care.
