Point of situation in Italy

Hy guuys,
I m a italian guy involved in Pfs from 4 years. But, during this time i thought about our situation and i have to say we are in the shit. Because of there is not interest on pfs, because of we are a spit of neighter 1000 people around the world.
In my small world, here in Italy, i conviced 30 person to follow me in a class action against merck. I found a big lawyer which helped us to organize an Association, called Associazione Vittime Finasteride (www.associazionevittimefinasteride.org) .
The goal of the association is to bring together all those who have been trained by finasteride and promote collaboration with research institutions
Together we found an important medical examiner which proove our condicion and request the anmount of damage.
Finally, in 2019 we gonna ask to merck the noney for what they done to us.
I done all tthose things because with good amounts of money we can involve the best researchers at the global level, or even the pharmaceutical companies to find a cure.
Therefore, I am available to teach you how to organize an initiative of this kind wherever you are, America, South America, Europe, Asia.
If we eventually combine our proceeds and donate them, surely things will change.
Just wait for years for a study! .

We are in bad situation , but they did not take everything from us: We can still fight to make sure that what has been taken from us tomorrow will come back to us.

@awor @axolotl Do you guys know one of those guys who participated in the American class action? Is it here on the forum?
Thanks and think about it.

Hello. You might also benefit from posting a few topics about your victim’s association and pending legal action in the Italian-Language Forum.

I can’t help but think that lawsuits won’t be helpful until we can prove more about the condition. Until everything can be explained they’ll either get away with it or will pay a derisory sum, as with the USA cases (less than $10k per claimant).

well, many studies on 5alpha redutta inhibitors have been published in recent years. Furthermore, Professor Melcangi is about to publish two more important studies on PFS subjects (the one on methylation and the one on the microbiome).
So proves will arrive at the right time.
In addition, I think that the class action occurred in America has not been carried out in the right way: that’s why the compensation has been so low.

You are doing a great job! Optimally a part of the money would be to find a cure! (but you have the decision on that).
