Two years more experience on non-disclosure of documents, two years more of watching pharma companies getting criminally indicted for off label promotion, hiding information etc. Two years more of medications that were passed as safe being removed from the market. Two years more of black label warnings being put on drugs - mostly due to pressure and exposure being put on the FDA and drug companies by people who care about life and want the facts out in the open. Two years of watching corruption, greed, lies, litigation. And yet DESPITE these two additional years of knowledge and information - enough people are so uninformed that they do nothing to enforce scientific integrity, nothing to relate children like Christopher to DOCUMENTED side effects to ensure the protection of children, nothing to bring the corrupt (ADULTS) to justice, that this is still a problem. The blame for it all lies on people, without the apathy, lack of understanding and lack of compassion of masses of people, the pharmaceutical industry, the industry psychiatrists, the regulators, could NOT carry on the farce as they do. The results are their doing, but the fault lies with all of us who are can't be bothered to do anything to correct it or can't be bothered to use that brain to work it out. How much is it going to take, how many suicides, homicides, cardiac arrests, diabetes onsets and various other adverse effects is it to take before THE PEOPLE stand up together and say STOP, which is the only thing that can and will stop it all? Is it because so many people enjoy having legal mind altering drug easily accessible that they'd rather children die of physical side effects, or psychological side effects such as suicide or others get imprisoned for life due to drug induced homicide, than act like adults should and protect the young BEFORE our own wish for an easy drug way out? Shame on us, the human race, top of the food chain and too lazy and self interested to protect our children from the bigger predators amongst us. 612715@blogcritics.org Thu, 19 Jul 2007 21:41:01 EDT
