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.
Not only that, but drug companies did not advertise (were not allowed to? -- I need to do some research) until 1983. Before that, it was customary to send relevant information to doctors and pharmacists only. As soon as drug companies could advertise, health care costs in the US skyrocketed. Imagine that. https://www.statnews.com/2015/12/11/unto...n-drug-ad/
