The snowball of media attention just keeps on rolling, this is excellent news! Good job whoever participated in the interview!

My deepest gratitude and respect to whoever went on air for this interview. A major reason why this subject hasn’t hit the fan yet is because everyone is too embarrassed to talk about it, so it stays under ground. Indeed, this subject will start snowballing now and the person who went on air will have contributed to this in a major way. Once everybody starts talking about this, it will be much easier to get much needed research funding. Heroic, THANK YOU!

Ditto to awor’s post! This is finally media coverage that has non-Merck bias. Thank’s to whomever did the interview!!!

Thank you very much for participating in that video to whoever it was. The progress in terms of media coverage has been immense this last year.

Is FOX 9 popular in the US?

I don’t know why this thread is titled “fox news”

This is NOT fox news, the 24 hour cable news channel. If it was, this would be huge because it’s the most watched 24 hour news station in the country. This is a local fox affiliate, apparently broadcasting out of Minneapolis, MN. I’m still hoping one of the big guys will pick up this story (CNN, MSNBC, FNC)

I thought that was the case. Oh well, let’s hope one of the bigger stations pick up on something very soon.

I don’t understand why this has limited its scope to sexual persistant side effects. This isn’t some phenomenon about some men being ‘less horny’ or having ‘a little ED’ that some could blame on anxiety etc.

This poison completely mutilated my body. Turned a man that was as healthy as you could possibly be in every way; tip top shape, sexual health, diet, physical activity, mental ability, etc. etc…into a mongoloid.

I hope these media folks are aware of the muscle loss, mental imparement, genital shrinkage, digestive functionality, loss of facial structure, bone loss, prostate mutilation, prostatitis, etc etc etc.

This drives me crazy too - people are thinking PFS just amounts to some ED. All the press focuses on sexual sides. Zero mention of digestive issues, inability to sleep, extreme muscle waste, weight management, depression and so on. Any mention of PFS should include all these issues.

I do not believe we will gain the support of the research community without a general understanding of how PFS effects all aspects of our health.

For some reason, the sexual sides have a much bigger impact on people. If you tell them you have brain fog, you’ll get a perplexed look from people. If you say you are impotent forever as a result of taking a medication, well, that’s every man’s worst nightmare. In this sensationalistic, ratings driven world, this is the best coverage we can really hope for

Oh I see. Ya, waking up one morning and seeing a one inch bent penis wasn’t that big of a deal.

Very nicely done. Whoever that man is, he is very courageous to put his face out there. Well done.

What a brave guy. He’s a bigger man than me, I could never do that.

I’m wondering when they are going to even see mention of the other sides the drug caused, that IMO are much worse than the sexual ones. The loss of energy, focus, motivation, desire, emotions, muscle?

Merck wants to have it both ways, they want to cover their asses by including the new wording on drug pamphlet, that the drug can cause permanent sides, but then try to claim there could be an underlying health condition in these men.

I hate sleezeball company. Why haven’t we seen a high profile attorney join the class action suit? I would think we would need this to take down this company.

There are…

Rousing applause

Hell yeah guys. Stuff is happening in a major way for us. We just have to take advantage. What their defective drug did to us will NOT go unaccounted for, and they’re backpedaling now.

Really? Who?

we need more studies to support our situation …

however this guy deserve full respect

one question, he looks so full of hair, why he took fina ?

Just saw this. Incredible. I have so much love for that dude who showed face and was interviewed. Thank you so much my friend for having that much courage!

I just wish the mental cognitive brain impairment parts were covered (in my humble opinion-please don’t take offense- most devastating) I think if people can describe brain fog more understandably, and less pathetically, then this horrific condition would become much more understandable to the general public. I’m starting to believe the term brain fog is much’ too light/passive’ of a description and quite easy to brush aside as the mere ‘awe shucks; my life sucks depression’. Fuck all. It’s not.

This is NOT a fucking depression people! Get this shit straight and proper. The people lucky enough not to have mental sides are very fortunate in my opinion. This condition is much more terrifying than simply being ‘bummed out’ mother fuckers! What the fuck?! Are you kidding me?! Simply put, every single day you have the daily torture of knowing your brain, is fucked up and something is wrong! You truly feel as if you have a form of brain damage. It’s not a mere matter of mood or feelings!

What’s wrong with being able to tell the general public, news people, whoever, that you simply feel as if your brain is cognitively different and your horribly frightened as a result. It is NOT a depression at all in my opinion. It’s the feeling of being constantly mentally impaired or constantly sedated; forgetful, irritable, memory is shot, extremely sensitive to stress, borderline PTSD symptoms, dazed, apathetic, medicated as if your functioning merely as a result of relying on your instincts, rather than your mind, to get to point A and point B. Ghost walking, and the feeling of not being artificially disconnected from the environment and people around you…seriously, this is a very serious and debilitating (borderline disability benefits) issue…at least guys with the problems downstairs can work and hold jobs. Not very easy with this problem, as it is definitely NOT a mere depression and please don’t dismiss it as simply being that.

robertino totti, that is a brilliant post. I would gladly live with the sexual sides if my “brain fog” would go away.
It feels like everything is going to fast, like i am not real, in a dream or something, like my eyes and ears are not connected to my brain, i cant interpret available information in real time.

Its not brain fog, its brain damage and it fucken sucks!
