Reuters: "U.S. court let Merck hide secrets about popular drug's risks"

That’s the plan! I’ll be contacting them tonight. Hopefully they want to interview us or get some our insight.

I messaged the journalist of the article via LinkedIn. Can anyone find an email address for him attached to his job (Reuters)?

If finasteride is not “antiandrogenic” then why would it slow “Androgenic” alopecia??

This article made me angry but I’m very thankful that some exposure on Merck’s evil is starting to come to light. Hopefully this will pave the way for the drug to be re-evaluated by the FDA or better yet the FDA to order Merck to research a cure for PFS.

He responded to me saying he will keep us in mind for the future. Dan Levine is a great example of why journalism is so important. Hats off to him for uncovering this and making the injustice known. He is a professional and I’m very thankful for him and his work.

Imagine when fin gets pulled off the market and the millions of men using it all have to stop. I’d imagine there’d be at least 100,000 new PFS cases.

No doubt the endocrine system of these guys are going go out of wack once there is a surge of DHT returning.

This is really big news. Although this whole story and history of PFS is beyond sad, I am glad that things are finally moving forward for You guys and that You are getting acknowledgement. I think the future looks brighter already and will be gradually becoming brighter even more

It should be interesting to see how Spencer Kobren and Joe Tillman react to this story.

I am shocked by the response to this news on Reddit. The response appears to be overwhelmingly against Merck, including on tressless, where finasteride is reveered and PFS is denied, as we know. Apparently people didn’t know drug companies manipulate drug data and lie/kill for profit. I find it very strange as I see nothing particularly new or surprising in this news piece. I hope this wave of sudden awareness continues and is picked up by more mainstream news outlets.

This is massive. Would be excellent if Joe Rogan covered this on his podcast.

Maybe the anti trump people could jump on this story.

They could say trump is crazy because he takes propecia.

Yahoo news tip might push the story if someone wanted to send it. They are actually the biggest News and Media website in the US. A billion users a month.
