About four years ago while having lunch in Boston, I ended up in a conversation with the CFO of a major pharmaceutical company. My concern at that time was the untimely and tragic deaths that were occurring in teenagers as a result of the side effect of antidepressant medication that were never disclosed. During the conversation, he told me that it cost 600 million dollar to develop a drug. He told me that drugs are developed for the majority of the population. He told me that some people don't do well on the drugs and they know that but as long as the drugs help majority of the population then according to him that's just part of life. I asked him how he would feel if he had a teenager who had taken their life as a result of the antidepressants drugs. I did not get an answer.
Do you know that the pharmaceutical companies in this country make trillions of dollars. Bayer developed a drug last year, a drug that was pulled of the market, whose profits would have been a billion dollars. That's one drug.
We are all experiencing the effect of what is happening as a result of the banking scandal that has threatened our economy. When there is huge money to be made, everyone needs to be ware. There was corruption taking place in our banking system which is causing our current economic nightmare. Do you remember back during the savings and loan scandal in the late eighties the FDIC went state by state a closed banks because of the greed that lead to that scandal. It's a similar story from the same industry. Pharmaceutical companies are no different than banks. Greed breeds corruption in any industry.
Did you know that the approval board for the FDA heads of pharmaceutical companies sitting on it.
In 1995, there was legislation passed to force the pharmaceutical companies to use woman in clinical trails. I kid around by saying the studies for the drugs and vaccines that are marketed toward women and children had been done on men, monkeys and mice. Unfortunately, I am far off the mark.
I am a very outspoken women when it comes to the drug companies and the clinical trail process which is used to get drugs approved especially when it comes to drugs and vaccinates that harm women and children because the drugs are rushed to the marketplace without proper testing. The FDA is responsible for the approval of these drugs.
Women have very complex reproductive systems. Why did they not develop this vaccination for the boys and men. I understand they are considering that currently. Did I hear men are the carries of this virus?
The death of one young women from this vaccination is one death too many for me. When someone is given a vaccination and they die, its tragic. The drugs companies will do anything and everything to prove their vaccination are not at cause when deaths occur. They have millions upon millions of dollars invest in this vaccination. Drug and vaccination development is highly competitive and hugely profitable business. There is a big difference between studies being done with federal grants by non profit organizations, hospitals and universities than those studies being done by the drug companies who fund their studies with there own money.
The FDA is responsible for making certain that the drugs and vaccinations they approve are safe. Maybe I was a bit too harsh on the FDA because it has become very clear in recent years that the drug companies are not reporting adverse events during their clinical trails to the FDA. I think what people need to understand is that pharmaceutical companies are in business to make a profit and their profits are huge. They develop drugs and vaccines to treat disease and disorder not to find cures or causes.
I will end by telling you that during the majority of clinical trails done for drugs individuals do as well taking the placebo, sugar pills, as those who are taking the drugs. When you fill your next prescription you'll find a small piece of paper folded up into a tiny packet with your medication. If you unfold that piece of paper, you will discover that it has the clinical trail results for the drugs. You may just find out that taking a sugar would provide you with the same benefit as the drugs.
