Pfizer:Killing people for Profits

[Dzone]

Anyone watch this show American Greed? Tonight Its about Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, the biggest drug company in the world. The pain relief drugs Bextra and Celebrex were found to cause strokes and heart attacks, no doubt about it. Pfizer would have lost BILLIONS...so they skirted the law and pushed Bextra for wider use, even to dentists. Marketed the pill to EVERYONE, hired 11,000 to push their bextra and celebrex with huge bonuses for sales. Sales People were getting cruises, golf vacations, trips to europe, etc etc, while people were dying from side effects of their drugs, bextra and celebrex..Strokes, renal failure, ..Pfizer placed their priorities above lives. Drs. were wined and dined by Pfizer salespeople, taken to sporting events with VIP seats, given Tropical resort vacations, said that some Drs were living in homes paid for by Pfizer...etc...Criminal charges were filed against Pfizer. 2.3 Billion in fines for Pfizer...Biggest fines in US history....celebrex has been allowed, but with warnings about stroke and heart attack...Unreal. The richest guy from my high school is a simple drug salesaman, He lives in a mansion in Connecticut. Makes ya wonder...

i took celebrex for a long time. it worked great for me. i wonder what % of people died from taking one of these two drugs and didnt have underlying medical probs.

remember they said ephedra was deadly and killed people too

The research showed that a big % died on bextra than the placebo group... bextra, vioxx and cellebrex are cox2 inhibitors, which clearly have deadly side effects in a disproportionate %

Don't get me started here. I think it goes even bigger than Pfizer....the government is involved and allows this to happen in order to control the population.
