Papantonio: Industry Covers Up Blood Thinner Dangers

[GoLeft TV]

One of the first things that George W. Bush did when he took office was to pack every possible federal agency with industry hacks. The result is that we were left with an FDA staffed with former employees of drug manufacturers like Pfizer, Merck, and Bayer. Those industry insiders were more concerned with helping their former employers by approving deadly drugs than they were with protecting the public’s safety. Mike Papantonio discusses the latest in a long line of dangerous drugs that have been approved by our still-industry-friendly FDA with attorney Ned McWilliams.

2. This drug has been heavily advertised on TV.

"Ask your doctor if Pradaxa can help reduce your risk of stroke." And people will insist that their doctor prescribe the newest drug thinking that it MUST be better.

Time to BAN all direct consumer marketing of prescription drugs.

4. The Mr saw the ad for that drug

and figured it sounded pretty good and that he should "talk to his doctor". My daughter and I adamantly told him NO, you never take a drug unless its been on the market for years. Then I see this video... thanks so much for posting.
