I'm getting so sick of the f'n propaganda!
This is on WSJ's home page:
*Medical experts expressed concern Aleve's risks may be overblown. Separately, Vioxx was shown to prevent colon growths.

What a bunch of BS! That's great that Vioxx was found to prevent colon growths, too bad it increases your risk of having a heart attack. These pharma corps. are about as bad as it gets when it comes to ethics. And they are propaganda "gods" with all of their damn commercials and crap....

1. Aspirin does the same thing.

No prescription required. I can't find a current reference to Vioxx prices since the recall, but I know it couldn't compete with aspirin pricewise, either.

On edit: Another contrast is that Vioxx caused heart attacks, but aspirin is given to help prevent heart attacks.

2. What's worked for me since the election is
turning off CNN, FOX, NBC, ABC, MSNBC and CNBC. I don't listen to talk radio, anyway.

And focusing on other apects of life - family for instance. We all need a break from the insanity.

3. Since when was Vioxx prescribed for colon growths?
And a gunshot is good for preventing warts in specific locations.
