If Merck made a 1% donation based on profit of one year Propecia sales, it would be $4m. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_pharmaceutical_drug_sales)
Obviously they won’t because that would be admitting liability. Sincey Merck won’t either compensate victims or fund research unless legally compelled, has anyone got information about the legal action taking place? I read that the number of men seeking to sue Merck is rising but when is action actually happening?
It will take years yet
wtf? In the time since the lawsuits were first announced, I could have assaulted a Merck exec, been convicted and freed and from prison by now. And they’re still not close? Is anyone going to actually confirm this on the forum? Pissed off with this tiptoeing around the subject, and this subterfuge that surrounds everything until it goes to court. If it’s still years away then we need to start escalating protests regardless.
Merck should be made to donate a year’s profits from the drug given it’s been on the market for over fifteen years. That would be $400 million. It’s almost laughable to suggest that of course in this fucking oligarchy society but no way would $4 million suffice.
actually we can have some idea with vioxxx lawsuits. how long did they take i wonder…
This is sad. This guy was a doctor with a family.
If anyone is in contact with his family, please ask them to start a petition at Change.org in honor of his death.
Dr. Daniel M. Stewart would of been 38 today.
Lets not forget him and all the other PFS victims.
Anyone find out cause of death?
Um suicide. Does it matter what method he used? The only people who know (his family) will probably not want to talk about it and have the details brought up again.
It’s mind blowing how much damage this drug causes. Yet not enough to finish the job. Also the medical community brushing it all off as psychological. So outrageous. I am the same age as Daniel with kids and a family depending on me. So this really got to me. The difference would be life insurance. If I die from this naturally at least my family can survive. If I take my own life because of this they get jacked. At any rate, I can relate. This is hell on earth. No one should ever have to go through this for cosmetic reasons.
Look at this on Andrew Stern’s suicide:

And note the picture of Stern – who shot himself in the head Sunday.
Ditto this photo:

If he was taking Propecia… well, you draw your own conclusions.
It looks like it to me. His face is thinning and his eyes look like he hasn’t slept.
So he was jealous of Leonardo DiCaprio’s hair, tried to save his own, wound up with PFS and put a bullet in his head?
Sadly, that could be true.
Aren’t we reading quite a lot into that story with not much proof?
Unless someone close to him comes forward saying he was on f inasteride I’d be reluctant trying to link it.
Anybody know the username which Daniel Stewart went by on here?
I think it was… jurgisRudkus1906 but not 100% sure. His last post was on , April 8, 2014.
Yes I think your right
Thanks for your reply
RIP
