CDC Update - Merck & Eli Lilly tell IMUS to "shove it" .... no interview

[cthrumatrix]

IMUS just shared on his show that Merck & Lilly have "declined"

to discuss facts with Robert Kennedy Jr. and David Kirby (who have

recently shared data on the vaccine/autism relationship.


As you know "corporations run our govt". they drafted the bill

which limits lawsuits vs. Pharmaceutical Companies and Santorum and

Frist "run cover" for these companies.


So there you go... it is acceptable for them to poison your children,

receive lawsuit proetction and NOBODY can "touch them".


I think Lilly & Merck need to hear from DU.... what do you think?

Eli Lilly knew Prozac had 1200% higher suicide rate than other antidepressants
Posted Jan 3, 2005 PT by the Health Ranger (Mike Adams)

It's yet another example of the widespread negligent actions committed by Big Pharma in the quest for profits. It's not just Vioxx, Bextra or Celebrex. Now the truth is finally starting to come out on antidepressant drugs like Prozac.
And what is the truth? That drug makers like Eli Lilly not only knew their star drugs were more dangerous than alternatives, but that they actively sought to suppress the release of that information in order to protect profits.

What we are witnessing today is the beginning of the end of an era: the days of the Big Pharma con in which direct-to-consumer advertising pushed a drug industry to unprecedented levels of corporate greed.

Of course, Eli Lilly denies everything. It's the same story talking to Merck. All these companies claim to be actually protecting the public health and working for the common good. Yet they continue to sell drugs with questionable safety records that are only now coming to light. And in none of these cases did these companies produce these documents on their own. In every case, they were "caught" by other people or organizations such as the British Medical Journal, which has gone public with these documents on Prozac.

US regulator suppresses vital data on prescription drugs on sale in Britain

Vital data on prescription medicines found in millions of British homes has been suppressed by the powerful US drug regulators, even though the information could potentially save lives.

An investigation by The Independent on Sunday shows that, under pressure from the pharmaceutical industry, the American Food and Drug Administration routinely conceals information it considers commercially sensitive, leaving medical specialists unable to assess the true risks.

One team of investigators found that 28 pages of data had been removed from the FDA files on one of a new family of painkillers because of confidentiality.

Last week a major research study led by Professor Julia Hippisley-Cox at Nottingham University, revealed that ibuprofen, the supposedly "safe" painkiller, increases the risk of heart attack by almost a quarter. The finding was a particular blow to thousands of users who have already switched from the best-selling drug Vioxx, which was withdrawn last year after evidence that it too could increase the risk of heart attacks.

Key information about Vioxx and other drugs that form part of the new generation of painkillers called Cox-2 inhibitors had been suppressed, it emerged. Now researchers are questioning the reliability of the data about other drugs, including the full range of painkillers.
