Jesus. Even I am surprised at how sleazy the pediatric-study bid was.
The PFS victim in the story who equated Goodrow to Josef Mengele hit the proverbial nail on the head.
Also, I see you can leave comments on the page. So please voice your opinion about the story:
On a related note:
Israel’s Maccabi Health Services, which houses medical records for 25% of that nation, has signed a deal to allow Merck to access all its patient records:

True, Maccabi won’t be, ah, naming names –
“Maccabi’s data sets are deidentified to fully protect and maintain patient privacy”…
but it’s ironic that the company that brought you Dr. Tamra “Mengele” Goodrow is now being allowed to run amok through the medical records of two million Israelis.
Is it safe?
And if that were not enough…
Merck’s new chief scientist, Roger Perlmutter (who–don’t quote me on this–appears to be of the Semitic faith) wants safety to take a backseat to efficacy as part of the company’s major overhaul:
“Perlmutter wants the R&D group to ask whether a drug works well first, and next whether it’s safe enough to go ahead with development. Before, there was too much emphasis on safety and not enough on breakthrough science, he told the analysts,” Bloomberg is reporting.
“‘He would rather see efficacy as the main objective and thinks that going down the safety route leads to too much risk-aversion,’” [Tim Anderson, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.], told the group.

Also, everyone on this forum MUST watch this about Fosamax:

Mike and Martha are dead on in every single point they make about Merck.
This is a complete disgrace !!!
Merck Scientist laughs at female victims with Jaw disease as a result of yet another one of they’re poisoness pills.
Full Report here…
Please explain what this means.
Was just joking. If you read the entire thread, and the story here, you’ll get the Nazi/Jewish references:

You might also want to watch the classic '70s film “Marathon Man.”
Cool, thanks. Was trying to ask without implying.
I should’ve taken more time reading the thread.
Now the next goof ball like me that comes along won’t have to ask.
There are no words to express the anger I feel when I read something like that. People like him, should be fed the same poison until the body was completely devastated, and then be released to live in agony until the day he finally decides to commit suicide. Americans, how the fuck can you allow a company such as Merck to keep ruining lives like they do? I believe that everything is planned. They probably know that certain drugs are dangerous, but at the same time that only a small amount of people will experience it, and more importantly - it’ll be difficult to prove that any damage is actually caused by the drug. Vioxx, Propecia, Singulair and Fosamax. It’s no fucking coincidence.
I have ideas and opinions about this, but I don’t feel like getting to much into it. Long story short: A lot of American culture is complete garbage.
I’m sure, however, there are other countries where this stuff happens.
Yup. If 75% of people who used these drugs got PERSISTENT horrible side effects, they wouldn’t be on the market. Why? Because a vocal majority would be outraged. They key is to have only a very small amount of users get these horrible sides.
And there are other people fighting battles over other drugs. So here we are, a small minority, fighting over Finasteride. Then we have other scattered minorities fighting over sides from other drugs. We are not UNIFIED, so we are weak, and the majority doesn’t pay attention because they are worried about who the next “Bachelor” is going to be.
Apparently it is OK if only a small amount of users get their lives completely ruined. I don’t understand that logic, but somehow, it is OK. This actually makes sense if the drug is for LIFE SAVING means. So, if you decide to take a drug to possibly SAVE YOUR LIFE, and you are told the risks, then you take the risk, and if you die, well it’s on you.
We took the drug for VANITY purposes, and were not told the truth about the sides. Drugs like Fin should NOT be given for vanity purposes, PERIOD! My, and many others have had their life stripped from them. Not to mention the toll is takes on our families. IMHO, this is a form of manslaughter or maybe more.
The death penalty would be too good for these Merck Scumbags. They should be forced to take all their own dangerous drugs.
The crux is, we’re probably the least sympathetic of all illnesses. The general public couldn’t care less about PFS, they’d say it was our own fault for taking a drug for vanity purposes. They’d say MPB is nothing to be upset about, and it’s expected of men to be completely unphased by it.
This is my main worry, as there’s real no incentive for external parties to become involved in finding a cure. We’re such a minority that most brush it off as a purely psychological issue, that we’re crackpot conspiracy theorists blaming our life problems on a drug.
Well put.
I just found a reputable European blog called Dark Pharma…
…that picked up the FDA-Propecia story:
darkpharma.nl/1/post/2013/09/propecia.html
So whoever is behind that PropeciaSideEffectsUK site, nice going.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that’s THETIGERSHULL.
Yes, thanks – the British PFS patient.
Whoever he is, he has made waves by further exposing Merck:
Why dont they push Propecia to newborn Babys, to regrow their Hair faster??Motherf… Scum of the Earth
As a sidenote: Good that you can be still in such Anger. I remember I was too…but now Depression is to deep.
Hoping desperetaly this disaster can be fixed one day…
