Why do we put up with this? Drug/adds OP ED

[Mermaid]

Again, I am NOT against the private sector, but far too much of the laws we have befit the top at the risk of the rest of society.

I constantly hear, not just with human medicine but pet products, the disclaimers of all the possible side effects. And some of them depending on product disclaim very dangerous even deadly side effects? Why is it OK for these companies to get away with this shit? Get it out first, worry about lawsuits later? 

Just like cars with defective parts, why is the chase for the buck more important than getting it right before you sell the product? It always ends up costing the consumer and company more in health and injury and courts. 

I hate the right wing always screaming "COMMIE" just becuase you suggest putting out a safer product.

The company is required to list all side effects if more than 2% of the subjects have the symptom, even if there was no difference between the control group and the tested product.

By the way, the FDA makes companies prove safety and effectiveness of everything before approval. They do the very best they can, but no system is perfect.

You are talking about two different topics here though. Advertising prescription medication to the public is a valid concern, IMO. It's arguably shaped the course of modern medicine since its inception. Before this, nobody went to their doctor and asked for a specific drug.

Out of curiosity, which pet medication did you see the ad for that triggered this thread? Or am I misunderstanding you?
