Joe Ferguson forever

it was for fraud, not "malpractice". They illegally promoted the drugs for off label use. It actually is pretty common but at the time was systematically done by Pfizer drug reps under direction of management. Of course, we should not take pharma's word as gospel. And we don't. That's why they were found guilty and fined billions in these 2 cases. Additionally, there are checks and balances from regulatory bodies such as the FDA and for vaccines, the aforementioned VAER program and others mentioned in the piece I reproduced here. Finally, physicians who prescribe the products act as watchdogs by reporting adverse reactions. Vioxx and Phen-fen were pulled from the market for just this reason. The FDA is not perfect but is generally more conservative about approving drugs than European regulatory bodies. My big complaint with Big Pharma is drug costs. We should have a national formulary with negotiated prices for all Medicare patients and eventually all patients under single payor. Biden started the ball rolling for Medicare. I don't have much faith in trump continuing it.

You got the company wrong, the date wrong and the ruling wrong. you didn't get anything right.

from the actual HHS VAERS site: VAERS accepts reports of adverse events that occur following vaccination. Anyone, including Healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public can submit reports to the system. While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. Vaccine providers are encouraged to report any clinically significant health problem following vaccination to VAERS even if they are not sure if the vaccine was the cause. In some situations, reporting to VAERS is required of healthcare providers and vaccine manufacturers. VAERS reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. Reports to VAERS can also be biased. As a result, there are limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind. The strengths of VAERS are that it is national in scope and can often quickly detect an early hint or warning of a safety problem with a vaccine. VAERS is one component of CDC's and FDA's multifaceted approach to monitoring safety after vaccines are licensed or authorized for use. There are multiple, complementary systems that CDC and FDA use to capture and validate data from different sources. VAERS is designed to rapidly detect unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse events, also referred to as “safety signals.” If a possible safety signal is found in VAERS, further analysis is performed with other safety systems, such as the CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) and Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment (CISA) Project, or in the FDA BEST (Biologics Effectiveness and Safety) system. These systems are less impacted by the limitations of spontaneous and voluntary reporting in VAERS and can better assess possible links between vaccination and adverse events. Additionally, CDC and FDA cannot provide individual medical advice regarding any report to VAERS. Key considerations and limitations of VAERS data: The number of reports alone cannot be interpreted as evidence of a causal association between a vaccine and an adverse event, or as evidence about the existence, severity, frequency, or rates of problems associated with vaccines. Reports may include incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental and unverified information. VAERS does not obtain follow up records on every report. If a report is classified as serious, VAERS requests additional information, such as health records, to further evaluate the report. VAERS data are limited to vaccine adverse event reports received between 1990 and the most recent date for which data are available. VAERS data do not represent all known safety information for a vaccine and should be interpreted in the context of other scientific information. VAERS data available to the public include only the initial report data to VAERS. Updated data which contains data from medical records and corrections reported during follow up are used by the government for analysis. However, for numerous reasons including data consistency, these amended data are not available to the public. Additionally, reports to VAERS that appear to be potentially false or fabricated with the intent to mislead CDC and FDA may be reviewed before they are added to the VAERS database. Knowingly filing a false VAERS report is a violation of Federal law (18 U.S. Code § 1001) punishable by fine and imprisonment. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing...

would you still be alive if big pharma didn't manufacture anti rejection drugs? I was a speaker a few times for drugs I thought worthy. It was work. It took time and preparation. Speaking to knowledgable colleagues can be challenging. But no as challenging as trying to convince dolts of obvious truths. so you're not admitting u were incorrect....riiiight

you don't know what you're talking about. the largest set5tlement was 7 billion from purdue pharma for oxycontin. And they deserved to be forced into bankruptcy. Pfizer just lost a much smaller case for kickbacks to prescribers. There's bad actors n every business. But overall, pharma companies are essential to keeping millions of people alive..

as i said, it's public knowledge. you can even get a transcript! Cassidy is chair of the committee. he seems skeptical at best. And he's right. the guy's opinions change with the wind, not with the science. he's a crock.

look it up Einstein. Its public record

yes, because to MAGA nuts, there is no settled science. except what they choose to believe regardless of available data. dumb f's. and who the hell sis Ian Miller? another renowned scientist from (gasp) Hillsdale College?

umm, no! only straight. you? strange question. Repressed longings?

Ok then. Rock on Q! play it backwards. Meanwhile this is what I meant for weirdo in NC https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=aaplw&ei=utf-8&p=when+you're+strange+video#id=15&vid=d0db00ad62f3367ccf7d331236efb786&action=click

Not the beatles best but neither are you humanity's...or even the top quartile.

We're both narcissists, that's for sure. ***** has been enjoyed for centuries. What's the problem? Why do you approve of trump's narcissism?

5the codons for arginine are the answer to all the mysteries of the universe. Of that I'm quite certain I'm sure you're the only human who ever considered the condons of Arginine. Perhaps u should write a sci fi plot...

gibberish. i'm not going to google codons for arginine because I'm a clinical scientist. I will ultimately look it up however because your science is bs, clap trap. My job was trying to fix sick people. Where i practiced, If I felt I needed a virologist, I would have referred to uva or cleveland clinic. elite clinicians. elite minds. love to interact. most are nerdy but nice. unlike you...

how much did you pay in income tax last year? just a rough estimate... did u file? did you pay enough that you feel you have a major say in where it went. Did u pay more than u benefitted? I did. Lots of magas didn't.

at this point, I really only answer to the bonds and stock market. So I probably should man love trump like you. But the guy is disgusting. He's vile. He's excrement. you really should consider therapy.

you are so tone deaf. It's serious problem. There's no viagra XX equivalent. TMI? ah, hopefully you'll live to see it...

I'm proud of our Virginia Senators today. Warner was appropriately wary and clawing into Gabbard. Kaine is just solid as a rock and a stalwart, unapologetic Dem. He seriously considered hanging it up but stuck it out. He's a true patriot.

They just runaway

i just don't see too many committed orange or lemon pickers as dangerous felons. most are making an honest living and sending as much as possible back home. and paying taxes and medicare andd social security. their labor is gravy to American borns. I wonder if all the MAGAs here are doing the same. My guess is no. but sure, deport the felons. how many do you figure there are? Is Tang still thing. F'in yummmm.. Ya know astronauts like it. It's in the maga science books.
