Big Pharma Killed 800,000 People In The Last 5 Years

[PhillyFlyers]

"Last summer, British researchers provoked concern when they published a paper raising the possibility that by following an established guideline UK doctors may have caused as many as 10,000 deaths each year,²" Larry Husten, editorial director of WebMD professional news, writes.

"Now, they have gone a step further and published an estimate that the same guideline may have led to the deaths of as many as 800,000 people in Europe over the last five years³...

The 800,000 deaths are comparable in size to the worst cases of genocide and mass murder in recent history."

Its crazy how corrupt that sector of industry that is. That is only one part of the huge Pharmaceutical "criminal puzzle"

1.) Mercola is on Quackwatch.com and was warned by the FDA to stop spreading misinformation about medications.

2.) So much of what is in this article is blatantly false. Beta blockers are actually one of the few medications that have shown to actually reduce morbidity and mortality. They are essential in the treatment of patients with heart failure.

3.) the article is one mans opinion based on one paper out of the UK. And in that paper they use generalizations like "may have" or "could possibly". This article is the equivalent to the national enquirer. It literally says nothing.

4.) the article is not peer reviewed.

Philly, you like to post links to BS like this frequently but you've yet to post anything substantial. Everything is one quacks opinion. I'm not trying to be ugly but honestly, this is ridiculous.

Beta blockers have been studied 100's of times and continue to be studied. We dont use them based off of some doctors study out of the netherlands. They are used because they continue to show benefit in a large spectrum of patients.

FDA is controlled by special interests, namely the big pharmaceutical companies. It's no shock they would want to shut Mercola up.

FDA is the criminal organization that allows GMO in our foods that give us cancer and all types of other diseases.

FDA is the criminal organization that let Donald Rumsfeld give people cancer, tumors, and other types of diseases through the approval of Aspartame, a deadly poison.

FDA is the criminal organization that let's a company like Monsanto control our food supply.

Let's see....Dr. Mercola or the FDA who do I trust more?........yeah, real difficult decision here.

Why trust Mercola more? What has he done to earn trust?

Many physicians independent of special interest groups and the FDA have performed studies on Beta Blockers showing that they're benficial

The better question is what has the FDA done to earn your trust?

The guy is an idiot, I believe he may be dumber than rifle. The irony of this particular thread is not only your comments but the guy claims to be a conservative and here he is complaining about capitalism and mega corporations. They adhere to a a particular political philosophy and then constantly argue the exact opposite of those beliefs. Bottom line is they haven't one single clue about political science, government, history and everything else they spout about. If it wasn't so laughable it would be pathetic.

And btw, he couldn't identify a beta blocker from a sewer plate.

Huge Corporations are evil by nature, there is no other way they could make it so far up the ladder.
