Its a lot more than a fraction one study showed that 1.4% of people who take Fin will get PFS.

Trump was also suppose to blow the lid on the MMR (Merck Vaccine) link to Autism but he never did.

To be honest it looks a little too nutty. We are in an age where there are crazy conspiracy theories everywhere. I wouldnā€™t push anything resembling conspiracy angle. Iā€™d go for more an angle like that there isnā€™t enough funding for people hurt by drugs rather than helped. All the funding is for developing new drugs. Nothing for helping people when a small portion of them inevitably cause harm. Men, women, children, families suffering badly and no one listening. We should look at asking drug companies to set aside some of their profit for taking care of people not just reinvesting all toward more drugs.

Thatā€™s a systemic shortcoming of current way drugs are developed rather than a conspiracy. Itā€™s saying the way Govt and pharma have been doing things could be improved to reduce suffering of innocent families.

How about we not do anything radical- even those who truly believe we are nuts can not argue merck should have the right to withhold their drug trial information. Therefore, we should try and appeal to president trump on the fact that a judge allowed them to cover this up. Maybe tweet to others too.

Side note: its fucked up on a level that we live in a society where a company is found guilty (or at least paid out a big settlement, forget which one) for a drug (vioxx) that caused many deaths, and the lawyer that attempted to defend them was promoted to CEO. Thatā€™s like capitalist hell. Makes me want to fuck merck up.

Add: we should compile a list of famous people who we know have taken finasteride:

Iā€™ll start:

Trump,
Ashton kutcher,
Wayne rooney please add!

Just pointing out that Trump seems to be fine. His health seems to be very good for his age, he has an incredible wife, heā€™s a freakin president, billionaire, etc. Telling him he is suffering isnā€™t going to work. I would forget that Trump took Propecia. Indeed, the fact the media has attacked him for using Propecia may mean he will never be able to acknowledge it might be harmful. To do so would be to open himself up to more of that criticism. The last thing in the world you would ever want to do is to talk about that Trump took Propecia. To do so would be to invite the media to use Propecia as a political weapon against him.

We get this. We arenā€™t mentioning it. That doesnā€™t mean we canā€™t ask him to help without mentioning he took it.

#73

I think it might. Propecia is probably the last drug he wants to hear about now.

Northern Irish actor James Nesbitt admits taking Fin.

Iā€™ve heard his name as well. Also Joe Rogan at some point? I think thatā€™s how Joe ended up on TRT/HRT, although Iā€™m not 100% sure.

No working celebrity would want to take up the mantle against Merck as an advocate for PFS awareness. To do so would be career suicide.

I think he posts as user Greek on this forum.

Theyā€™ve talked about having been on propecia on his show and Joe Rogan luckily didnā€™t get any PFS from it, but mentioned that it could cause severe depression and other sides. He failed to mention that itā€™s PFS:

Wow, joe rogan would be someone who would talk about it though. I honestly donā€™t believe people donā€™t get sides- just that some people donā€™t notice them or attribute them to finasteride. But i took it at 21- maybe when you are older, some of the changes it causes already occurred through aging.
