So now I'm "random?"
Highly biased? Did the NVIC "make up" the numbers that were in the news release?
Trusting doctors? How many people trusted "their doctor" and were perscribed Vioxx? Bextra? Fen phen? Redux? Rezulin? Seldane? Posicor? Duract? Hismanl? Raxar? Propulsid? Lotronex? Baycol?
And... have you heard of the Swine Flu vaccine??? Hundreds of Americans died as a result of the innoculation. Others suffered from Guillain-Barre syndrome as a result of the shot.
To put this all in perspective... A quote from Dr. Raymond Woosley, (a candidate for FDA commissioner):
"I think Americans need to recognize tha
t every time they put a pill in their mouth, especially a new pill that they've never taken before, it's an experiment. When a drug goes on the market, only about 3,000 patients have ever been given that drug. We will never know all the toxicity that can occur, especially the one in 10,000 or the one in 20,000 that can be seriously harmed.
Our detection of that will only happen after the drug is on the market and exposed to huge numbers of patients."
Consider that Gardisal has only been out for seven months. Wouldn't you rather take a wait and see approach?
