Quote:But you are a fool if you don't think big pharma doesn't pump the government with laws that allow them to peddle their drugs. We all know there has never been any class action suit against drug companies right? Because they are always humanitarians and not out for money.Did I even address corruption in big pharma? No, I don't think I did, so no, I'm not a fool. My point was, the warnings are there because the drugs are unpredictable in such a diverse population; they are not there because of a lack of adequate testing.
Quote:I just find it sick that they think it is ok to give medical advice in 30 seconds as if that qualifies as an office visit. The fact still remains that they are out to make money.No idea what you are talking about here, but my doctor has never given 30 seconds of medical advice. Even if he/she did, I'd probably go along with what they say anyway. Why? Because they're a fucking doctor and I'm not arrogant enough to think that I know more than they do when they've spent over 6 years at medical school and I haven't.
Quote:Drugs are a good thing and doctors are a good thing and DUH, we all respond differently, but any blind trust of anything is stupid especially anything sold on tv with that much fine print.It's not blind trust; doctors earn degrees and often have them displayed prominently in their practices. Drugs are heavily tested on both rats and (willing) human subjects before the packaging has even been designed. The fact they have fine print is a good thing. What would you prefer, drugs that tell you what could possibly go wrong, or drugs that conceal that information?
Quote:That disclaimer is a cover your ass crap so they cant be sued if someone dies.Yeah, maybe, but it's also so that less people do actually die. You see, pharmaceutical companies, like any company, rely on consumers to purchase their products. If they invent a drug which kills a load of their consumers, they won't be viewed very highly by the remaining consumers, or by any governments that have business contracts with them.
Bottom line is: when you can come up with a drug that works perfectly and has no negative side effects, then you can complain about warnings on drugs.
