HOME PAGE NEWS
On July 11th Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon received my first letter to him asking him to file Attempted Murder and Racketeering charges against Merck the Makers of Vioxx ... Within two weeks I got a reply back from the attorney General Jay Nixon's office .... Signed by Patricia Bax Complaint Investigator ..... It stated that their office could not help me because I was asking for Legal advice and their Opinion .....
So on Aug. 14th they received my second letter , I made sure I didn't ask for any Legal advice or Opinions ..... I stated that I had proof that Merck knew that Vioxx was killing people in 2000 and that they didn't take it off of the market till 2004 . In my letter I stated that if they can not help me or is unwilling to help me please let me know ... So on September the 7th I called the Attorney Generals office cause I hadn't received a letter stating if they was going to help me or not .... I talked to a young man there dont recall his name , but he said it was for consumers , I said I am a consumer and that I want to file charges against Merck , he put me on hold for a minute said that he had to take care of some thing ..... when he come back on the phone he said that the Attorney General is more of a mediator , I said well then he had better start mediating and call Merck and tell them that I'm gonna file charges against them if I dont hear from them soon ....
The young man got tired of argueing with me and put Patricia Bax on line for me to talk to .
She started defending the Attorney Generals office right off the bat..... I said look all I want is to have your office to file attempted murder and racketeering charges against Merck the makers of Vioxx.... I told her that I got proof that Merck knew that Vioxx was killing people in 2000 and didnt take it off of the market till 2004 .... then she said that I'm the only one wanting to do this . And that they need more people than just me .... I said lady there is 11,500 cases pending against them .... she said I need to file a class action law suite against them . I told her that Merck is not going to do that ..... there has been 8 cases that has went to court since 2004 ...
I told her that it would never go to court , having 11,500 and in three years only 8 has went to court .....
Public citizen do ya ever wonder why not one of the Attorney Generals or a politician hasnt filed charges against Merck .... ??? Do ya think that just maybe that the big pharmceutical companys run this country , along with the television stations , insurance companys , oil companys , and utility companys.......

ANOTHER KILL PILL
Another kill pill
Monday, May 21, 2007 A widely used diabetes pill raises the risk of heart attacks and possibly death, according to a scientific analysis that reveals what some experts are calling another Vioxx-like example of the government failing to protect the public from an unsafe drug. More than 6 million people worldwide have taken the drug, sold as Avandia and Avandamet, since it came on the market eight years ago to help control blood sugar in people with the most common form of diabetes. About 1 million Americans use it now. Pooled results of dozens of studies on nearly 28,000 people revealed a 43 percent higher risk of heart attack for those taking Avandia compared to people taking other diabetes drugs or no diabetes medication, according to the analysis published online Monday. The study, published by the New England Journal of Medicine, also found a trend toward more heart-related deaths. The findings are frightening because two-thirds of diabetics die of heart problems, so a drug that boosts this possibility is especially hazardous for them. Still, the actual risks to any single patient appear small. Diabetics should talk to their doctors before stopping any medication, said a statement issued by the American Diabetes Association and two groups of heart doctors. Avandia's maker, British-based GlaxoSmithKline PLC, disputed the results of the analysis but acknowledged that its own similar review found a 30 percent increased risk - information it gave last August and possibly even earlier to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. But the company said that more rigorous studies did not confirm excess risk. FDA officials issued a safety alert on Monday and said they likely would convene an advisory panel, but planned no immediate changes to the current side effect warnings on the drug's packaging. Several members of Congress expressed alarm. Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, announced a hearing for June 6 on FDA's role. On the Senate floor, Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, criticized the agency for not acting more swiftly. "Do we have another Vioxx on our hands with Avandia? I am not sure, but I intend to find out," he said, referring to the blockbuster arthritis drug withdrawn in 2004 because of safety problems. "Tens of millions of prescriptions have been written for Avandia, and Medicare and Medicaid have paid hundreds of millions of dollars for this drug." Avandia is used to treat Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease, which is linked to obesity and afflicts 18 million Americans and 200 million people worldwide. This form of diabetes occurs when the body does not make enough insulin or cannot effectively use what it manages to produce. Avandia, or rosiglitazone, helps sensitize the body to insulin and was considered a breakthrough medication for blood-sugar control. It also is combined with metformin and sold as Avandamet. Only one other drug like it - pioglitazone, sold as Actos and Actoplus Met by Takeda Pharmaceuticals - is sold in the United States. Avandia had total U.S. sales of $2.2 billion in 2006, slightly trailing $2.6 million for Actos, according to IMS Health, a healthcare information company. About 13 million Avandia prescriptions were filled in the U.S. last year. A one-month supply of Avandia sells for between $90 and $170. GlaxoSmithKline also has been testing Avandia to try to prevent diabetes in those at high risk of it, and, in separate studies, to prevent Alzheimer's disease. However, the new analysis casts a pall on its prospects for prevention as well as treatment, many specialists said. The study was led by Dr. Steven Nissen and statistician Kathy Wolski at the Cleveland Clinic. Nissen accepts no personal fees for consulting for any drug makers. While the analysis doesn't spell out the actual the rate of heart attacks among Avandia users, the 43 percent excess risk is in line with what a similar analysis found for lower doses of Vioxx use, Nissen said. Another context for that number: Heart attack risks are lowered about 25 percent by cholesterol-reducing statin drugs - ample reason to prescribe them. The Avandia studies Nissen analyzed were not designed to look for heart risks and many of them were so short - some only 24 weeks - that risks may only appear over the longer term, he said. Dr. David Nathan, chief of diabetes care at Massachusetts General Hospital, agreed. "This analysis is just scratching the surface of what may be there. It needs to be taken seriously," said Nathan, who reviewed the paper for the medical journal and has no financial ties to any diabetes drugmakers. The situation "reflects very badly on the FDA and on Glaxo," Nathan said. "It's the FDA's responsibility to be monitoring this stuff." The drug "represents a major failure of the drug-use and drug-approval processes in the United States," Drs. Bruce Psaty and Curt Furberg wrote in an editorial in the New England Journal. Psaty is with the University of Washington in Seattle and Furberg is with Wake Forest University. When the drug was approved, evidence of its benefits were "at best mixed," wrote the two doctors. Both have been frequent critics of the FDA's failure to spot dangers in the drug approval process and its conduct involving Vioxx. Avandia's label already warns about possible heart failure and other heart problems when taken with insulin. The drug also raises LDL or bad cholesterol, and can cause fluid retention and weight gain. Glaxo also has reported some patients suffered more bone fractures, swelling of the legs and feet, and rare reports of swelling in the eye that can cause vision problems. However, in a conference call Monday, Dr. Lawson McCartney who leads Glaxo's diabetes drug development, said: "We remain very confident in the safety and of course in the efficacy of Avandia as an important diabetic medicine." Dr. Robert J. Meyer of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, also defended the agency's actions, saying information about risks is not clear-cut. "We've tried to weigh the risks of going forward with an uncertain message ... with the level of uncertainty about the safety signal before us," Glaxo's shares trading in the United States closed down $4.53, or 7.9 percent, at $53.18. Nissen used publicly available information from an earlier $2.5 million Glaxo settlement with the state of New York to do his study. He also led earlier research that derailed a similar diabetes drug, Pargluva, that seemed headed for FDA approval until safety issues emerged. A fourth drug in the same class, Rezulin, was withdrawn in 2000 after it was linked to liver problems. ----

Mike Leavitt was on C-SPAN yesterday
Well who is Mike Leavitt you may ask .... President Bush put him in his present position ,,,, and I mean PRESENT>>>> Was a gift wasn't it Mike .... Michael Leavitt, President Bush's choice to be secretary of Health and Human Services , may have to cut billions of dollars from the government's mammoth health programs for the elderly, poor and disabled to pare the budget deficit. The Medicare and Medicaid programs, consuming nearly $500 billion a year and growing quickly, could be vulnerable in the context of last year's $413 billion budget deficit, the ongoing war in Iraq, costly domestic security commitments and administration plans to revamp Social Security without raising taxes.Bush selected Leavitt, the Environmental Protection Agency chief, on Monday, filling one of the last two openings in his second-term Cabinet. Bush praised Leavitt as a "fine executive" and "a man of great compassion ... an ideal choice to lead one of the largest departments of the United States government." Leavitt, Utah's governor for 11 years before joining the administration in late 2003, would succeed Tommy Thompson
Now lets take a few minutes and be anayltic about what we just read ...Medicaid and Medicare is $500. billion a year .... and their going to revamp Social Security .... Without raising taxes... ??? Now how they gonna do that ,,,, ??? hummm ,,, I guess they could give all the people on medicaid and medicare a pill that can give them a heart attack an kill em .... that would lower the budget deficit now wouldn't it ? ? ? Oh now heck they couldn't do that not to all of em .... not all of the elderly , poor , and disabled .... or could they ??? ??? Ya ask yourself ...??? where did he come up with that ? ? ? Well I guess its cause I'm poor and disabled and took vioxx , see Merck the makers of Vioxx has killed over 100,000 people and they got 11,500 cases pending on them .... and one night i took a vioxx and had a heart attack .... when I went to the emergency room the dr. on call ask me what meds. I took , I told him Vioxx is all , no drugs or alcohol ... see thats some of the questions they ask you while your awake in the E R.
Well President Bush chose Mr. Leavitt the Enviromental Protection Agency Chief ,,, Now why did he do that ???? Our Enviroment is in really bad shape ..... all they talk about now days is global warming , contaminated water in our streams .... green house effect .... Most people I talk to they buy bottled water ..... The scientist say that its caused by people .... more energy used more cars driven , more boats in the water ....flooding and so fourth . Before becoming governor, he was chief operating officer of the Leavitt Group, a family insurance firm in which he maintains an investment worth between $5 million and $25 million, according to a financial disclosure report he filed in 2003. The company owns 100 independent insurance agencies that sell supplemental Medicare policies, among other insurance products, according to company literature. The Medigap policies account for less than 1 percent of company revenues, said Dane Leavitt, the president and CEO. He is Michael Leavitt's brother.
Michael Leavitt also has stakes in pharmaceutical makers Johnson & Johnson and Merck & Co., and in medical equipment maker Medtronic Inc. "Now can you feel confident that Gov. Leavitt will take the necessary steps to avoid any conflicts of interest."Now how come I don't feel so confident that he will ?"
He said the Department of Health and Human Services plays a vital part in the lives of every American. "I look forward... ... to the implementation of the Medicare prescription drug program in 2006, medical liability reform and finding ways to reduce the cost of health care," Leavitt said. Leavitt also has experience with the Medicaid program from his time as Utah governor. The Bush administration granted Utah a rules waiver that Leavitt said Monday resulted in health insurance for thousands of working families. Critics have said the waivers have produced minimal increases in Medicaid enrollment, but have cut benefits and increased costs to others who receive Medicaid. The HHS secretary also oversees the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health and the Indian Health Service. In all, the agency has a budget of more than $500 billion and 67,000 employees. If Congress undertakes serious budget cutting next year, Medicare and Medicaid would be unlikely to escape, senior Republican congressional aides said last week. Ron Pollack, executive director of the consumer group Families USA and an administration critic, said the costs of Bush's second-term agenda coupled with his opposition to tax increases "points to Medicaid potentially taking a very large hit."Dr. Mark McClellan, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, had been a leading candidate for the HHS job.He is the brother of the White House spokesman...... But Mark McClellan is overseeing the new Medicare prescription drug benefit, which takes full effect in 2006, and Bush was said to have been reluctant to take him from his post.Leavitt shares Bush's enthusiasm for market-based approaches to fixing problems......( Yeah , as long as their playing the market and making money they are happy ) ...........

Organized Crime and another Conspiracy Theory
Organized Crime and another Conspiracy theory
I'll try to break it to ya gently but there is no easy way to tell ya where were at today ... I guess organized crime has been around for a long time , I've only been around 54 years . and all I can tell ya is what I've heard and read .... You'll ask your self how we got to this point in our life's and how did it happen .... Gradually is how we got here .... Just like moving from the country to the city .... you soon get used to the traffic as you try to sleep .... or the planes taking off and landing .... it happens over and over again and it becomes normal .... Kinda slips in and ya get comfortable with the situation ....
Remember how the west was won , two ranchers would be feuding and fighting and they would hire fast guns , or gunslingers .... and eventually one would come out on top .... In the movies it would all ways be the good guys , and he would get his woman and his spread would be doubled . And then there was Al Capone and all of the bootleggers back in those days ... Mob against Mob .
And then there was the assassination of the Kennedy's and Martin Luther King ... was like some one saying .... Look congress . look what we can do . we can take out anyone .... Lyndon B Johnson didn't want to run for another term for some reason ,,,, Then Nixon gets in and all the stuff with Viet Nam was finally over , and the Insurance Co. start lobbying .... they past laws that ya can't drive a car without insurance .... ( Now the city's liked that Idea cause they made money off of it making you pay a fine if caught, bringing income into their community , court , lawyers , and so forth ) yes folks I had to pay 35 bucks a month to drive my old 500 dollar car .... another 15 bucks and I could of been making another car payment .... on a 500 dollar car that is ... Then it seemed like everyone started cashing in on their insurance .... denting a fender getting 1,000 bucks to fix a 40 dollar fender .... Then the insurance went up and the prices of the cars went up to ..... A 64 Chevy Impala went for 3,200 .... I guess what I'm getting at is that if I got hail damage they wouldn't of paid , I'd had to be paying more for full coverage .... but anyway the insurance lobbyist got in there and made it mandatory for everyone to have insurance .... and the people in Mississippi that got hit by Katrina in small print , flood damage not covered .... and they get away with it ..... and why do they get away with it , Because the insurance company's and big business put them in congress ..... donated to their cause .... and besides we have gotten used to paying out insurance payments every month .....
Now lets take an up to date look at whats going on in congress .... Ya got the Presidential runners hollering and shaking their fist , No child left behind , health care for all , medicaid and medicare , electronic medical records ..... and ya got the governor in Texas saying that all 6th grade girls should take Gardacil and make it mandatory .... and medicaid and medicare will pay for it .... and the congress says they need to cut entitlements??? .... So if they pay for the shots costing 360 bucks then I guess in the long run they are cutting entitlements if the girl becomes sterile .... and cant have any kids .... after all they stay on welfare generation after generation ... And not one congressman or woman has said any thing about Merck the makers of Vioxx killing over 100,000 people .... the same people making Gardacil ...... Yes public citizens our congress knows whats going on ,,, their not stupid, folks .... So they sit back and don't mention a word about it .... hoping that we'll get used to it .... after all we had , ( resperdol phyn phyn paxil Vioxx, and many more ) after all , the more people that they stop having kids the more gas and oil will be for their kids and grand kids ..... So what it looks like to me is that all the Democrats and Republicans and big business has Syndicated together....
WHAT ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES ??? Why you ask ? Don't ya think that they got Oil Men and Pharmacy's and television stations .... C-span is a cable news that shows our congress men and women at work .... they also listen to are gripes and complaints .... and praises .... but they also survey .... Here is a little something I found on the net ....
Tuesday March 13, 2007 web city press - Adolf Hitler used the theory of eugenics in his quest to create a master race, legitimizing the murder of thousands deemed unfit for the German race and culminating in the genocide of 6 million Jews. But the idea behind eugenics - improving a population's health through genetics - was hardly unique to Germany, as shown by a traveling exhibit developed by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., and on display at The Andy Warhol Museum. "Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race" uses 200 photographs, videotaped survivor stories and several dozen artifacts to trace eugenics' development as a perversion of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to its Nazi justification for genocide. The exhibit also looks at eugenics in other countries, including Norway, Spain, Brazil, Japan and the United States, where nearly 300 "eugenic sterilizations" were done at Mendocino State Hospital between 1909 and 1935. Perhaps most chilling is how seemingly easy its noble-sounding goal was twisted. After all, who could argue against improving health? It was Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton who coined the term eugenics from Greek, meaning "good birth," in 1883. Eugenic "ideas took on a different cast depending on the particular political and social culture in which they were expressed and that changes over time and over place,In Nazi Germany, it was a very explosive combination of ultranational racist ideas with eugenics." "Anti semitisim and anti-Jewish policies and politics had their own role that they played in Nazi Germany, but what this exhibit tried to show is that Nazi policies had a much more overarching basis that really is linked to eugenic ideas, "This exhibit has such a broad appeal because so many people, even if they are not Jewish, have someone who would be covered in some way." the museum hosted the exhibit for its historical importance and "to make the point that it's not simply something that died in 1945 when the war was won. "We need to be aware that the view of perfection, whether in humanity or in art, can under the aegis of someone with a twisted or very focused agenda lead to the kind of negative and horrific actions that took place during the late '30s and '40s," At first, the use of eugenics in Germany avoided anti semitisim until the Great Depression, when the Nazis began to hold up the "Nordic race" as the ideal. When Hitler came to power in 1933, state-backed eugenics led to increased sterilization and marriage laws. Between 1934 and 1945, following passage of a law to prevent genetically diseased offspring, an estimated 400,000 people were surgically sterilized. While eugenics encouraged purging the unfit, it also encouraged fit Germans to marry, and bearing children became a national responsibility. The Nazis also created an office to combat homosexuality and abortion, which were blamed in part for declining birthrates. A display of the "10 Commandments for Choosing a Mate" advises people to "Remember that you are a German" and admonishes "everything you are is not of your own but through your nation." It goes on to suggest picking a Nordic mate, advises against picking the "one good person" in a "bad family" - "No medical art can change ruined medical material" - and tells couples to wish for as many children as possible. One display shows swastika-emblazoned honor crosses of German motherhood: bronze to mothers of four or five children; silver for six or seven children; gold for eight or more children. Another shows a photo of a smiling mother wearing one such cross and pushing a stroller. Another display shows a picture of a man forced to wear a sign declaring himself a race-defiler, apparently for engaging in a forbidden marriage. Beginning in 1939, the Nazis began euthanizing infants and children with physical and mental defects. More than 5,000 were killed between 1939 and 1945 through overdose, starvation and gassing. Between 1940 and 1941, some 70,000 institutionalized adults, largely non-Jewish Germans, were killed. The exhibit winds up with the Nazi's plan to eradicate Jews in death camps and ends with a section on postwar activities of Nazi Germany doctors, most of whom faced little or no punishment. ( Some even continued their careers after the war) . Bachrach said it's important that people understand the history of eugenics, given advancements in science and ethical questions they raise. For example, she said people can draw a distinction between killing, sterilization and abortion in cases such as birth defects or genetic disease.( "Where do you stop? And that's a question for today,") she said. The exhibit ends March 18 at the Warhol and will move to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta from April 30 to Aug. 10 and then on to The Science Museum of Minnesota next year.

So lets stop and take a look back in the beginning of President Bush's Presidency .... One of the first things he wanted to do was fix social security .... and no child left behind .... Take a look at all the kids that took paxil ... tried to kill their self ... or died ... those was the kids that were disruptive in class ... The teachers was told that if they want to make their job easier get those kids on drugs , calm them down .... My nephew was one of the lucky ones ... he was put on paxil late , in the year ,... I told my sister that all he needed was a good ol arse whoopin .... The paxil wasnt workin so finally my sis got him off of it .... arse whoopins do work by the way ....
Now ya ready to hear about social security .... Well , what about the 100,000 + people that Vioxx killed ,,,, they was all older folks on social security or had arthritis so bad that they was trying to get on social security .... Now to round things out , if those people was drawing 1,000 $ a month and there was 100,000 of them for one year the government saved 1,200,000,000 in one year on social security , and Merck made billions also .... Now there is 11,500 people that have filed cases against Merck the Maker of Vioxx .... Don't forget folks the baby boomers are retiring .... See the president appoints who's head of the FDA ... And one of the first things that President Bush did was to get a bill that limits a 250,000 $ compensation pay , and congress passed it overwhelmingly ....
And your probably wondering what my thoughts are on 911 .... Well all I know is that we needed a reason to go in to Iraq and we got one .... Some of the terrorist trained in Florida ,,, seems convenient ... Yeah the oil company's are making a killing now , more than they ever had ... and the war in Afghanistan , well it's for the opium ,,, yep drugs .... Yeah , the government is saying that the war is a holy war , war against Muslims and Christians .... when really it is all about oil , drugs , and power .... Opium is the dried , condensed juice of a poppy , it is a narcotic , they make morphine and codeine with it .... they make pain pills with it and they put it in cough medicine , So now ya know why were in Afghanistan..... it's the big pharmaceutical company's and in Iraq the big oil company's .... it's not a holy war like they would want you to believe , but yes when both sides are in their fox holes their both praying ....
Merck the makers of Vioxx has come out with a new drug called Gardacil ... its supposed to prevent cervical cancer and genital warts .... The Governor of Texas wants to make it mandatory for 6th grade girls .... and medicaid will pay ..... Yep ... and it wasn't to long ago they was saying that their spending too much on medicaid and need to make cuts .... they say that Gardacil works best before the girl has sex .... NOW I WANT TO KNOW HOW THEY TESTED THAT DID THEY HAVE A VIRGIN TO HAVE SEX WITH SOME ONE WHO HAS WARTS ??? THINK ABOUT IT PUBLIC CITIZEN ..... ... ... ... ??? OR DOES IT MAKE THE YOUNG GIRLS ON MEDICAID STERILE ..... ??? after all it wasn't but a few years back they ( the congress ) was saying that the people on welfare are on it for generation after generation ,,, See it opened my eyes the night I took voixx and had a heart attack ...... ... ... ...
I'll try to break it to ya gently but there is no easy way to tell ya where were at today ... I guess organized crime has been around for a long time , I've only been around 54 years . and all I can tell ya is what I've heard and read .... You'll ask your self how we got to this point in our life's and how did it happen .... Gradually is how we got here .... Just like moving from the country to the city .... you soon get used to the traffic as you try to sleep .... or the planes taking off and landing .... it happens over and over again and it becomes normal .... Kinda slips in and ya get comfortable with the situation ....
Remember how the west was won , two ranchers would be feuding and fighting and they would hire fast guns , or gunslingers .... and eventually one would come out on top .... In the movies it would all ways be the good guys , and he would get his woman and his spread would be doubled . And then there was Al Capone and all of the bootleggers back in those days ... Mob against Mob .
And then there was the assassination of the Kennedy's and Martin Luther King ... was like some one saying .... Look congress . look what we can do . we can take out anyone .... Lyndon B Johnson didn't want to run for another term for some reason ,,,, Then Nixon gets in and all the stuff with Viet Nam was finally over , and the Insurance Co. start lobbying .... they past laws that ya can't drive a car without insurance .... ( Now the city's liked that Idea cause they made money off of it making you pay a fine if caught, bringing income into their community , court , lawyers , and so forth ) yes folks I had to pay 35 bucks a month to drive my old 500 dollar car .... another 15 bucks and I could of been making another car payment .... on a 500 dollar car that is ... Then it seemed like everyone started cashing in on their insurance .... denting a fender getting 1,000 bucks to fix a 40 dollar fender .... Then the insurance went up and the prices of the cars went up to ..... A 64 Chevy Impala went for 3,200 .... I guess what I'm getting at is that if I got hail damage they wouldn't of paid , I'd had to be paying more for full coverage .... but anyway the insurance lobbyist got in there and made it mandatory for everyone to have insurance .... and the people in Mississippi that got hit by Katrina in small print , flood damage not covered .... and they get away with it ..... and why do they get away with it , Because the insurance company's and big business put them in congress ..... donated to their cause .... and besides we have gotten used to paying out insurance payments every month .....
Now lets take an up to date look at whats going on in congress .... Ya got the Presidential runners hollering and shaking their fist , No child left behind , health care for all , medicaid and medicare , electronic medical records ..... and ya got the governor in Texas saying that all 6th grade girls should take Gardacil and make it mandatory .... and medicaid and medicare will pay for it .... and the congress says they need to cut entitlements??? .... So if they pay for the shots costing 360 bucks then I guess in the long run they are cutting entitlements if the girl becomes sterile .... and cant have any kids .... after all they stay on welfare generation after generation ... And not one congressman or woman has said any thing about Merck the makers of Vioxx killing over 100,000 people .... the same people making Gardacil ...... Yes public citizens our congress knows whats going on ,,, their not stupid, folks .... So they sit back and don't mention a word about it .... hoping that we'll get used to it .... after all we had , ( resperdol phyn phyn paxil Vioxx, and many more ) after all , the more people that they stop having kids the more gas and oil will be for their kids and grand kids ..... So what it looks like to me is that all the Democrats and Republicans and big business has Syndicated together....
WHAT ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES ??? Why you ask ? Don't ya think that they got Oil Men and Pharmacy's and television stations .... C-span is a cable news that shows our congress men and women at work .... they also listen to are gripes and complaints .... and praises .... but they also survey .... Here is a little something I found on the net ....
Tuesday March 13, 2007 web city press - Adolf Hitler used the theory of eugenics in his quest to create a master race, legitimizing the murder of thousands deemed unfit for the German race and culminating in the genocide of 6 million Jews. But the idea behind eugenics - improving a population's health through genetics - was hardly unique to Germany, as shown by a traveling exhibit developed by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., and on display at The Andy Warhol Museum. "Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race" uses 200 photographs, videotaped survivor stories and several dozen artifacts to trace eugenics' development as a perversion of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to its Nazi justification for genocide. The exhibit also looks at eugenics in other countries, including Norway, Spain, Brazil, Japan and the United States, where nearly 300 "eugenic sterilizations" were done at Mendocino State Hospital between 1909 and 1935. Perhaps most chilling is how seemingly easy its noble-sounding goal was twisted. After all, who could argue against improving health? It was Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton who coined the term eugenics from Greek, meaning "good birth," in 1883. Eugenic "ideas took on a different cast depending on the particular political and social culture in which they were expressed and that changes over time and over place,In Nazi Germany, it was a very explosive combination of ultranational racist ideas with eugenics." "Anti semitisim and anti-Jewish policies and politics had their own role that they played in Nazi Germany, but what this exhibit tried to show is that Nazi policies had a much more overarching basis that really is linked to eugenic ideas, "This exhibit has such a broad appeal because so many people, even if they are not Jewish, have someone who would be covered in some way." the museum hosted the exhibit for its historical importance and "to make the point that it's not simply something that died in 1945 when the war was won. "We need to be aware that the view of perfection, whether in humanity or in art, can under the aegis of someone with a twisted or very focused agenda lead to the kind of negative and horrific actions that took place during the late '30s and '40s," At first, the use of eugenics in Germany avoided anti semitisim until the Great Depression, when the Nazis began to hold up the "Nordic race" as the ideal. When Hitler came to power in 1933, state-backed eugenics led to increased sterilization and marriage laws. Between 1934 and 1945, following passage of a law to prevent genetically diseased offspring, an estimated 400,000 people were surgically sterilized. While eugenics encouraged purging the unfit, it also encouraged fit Germans to marry, and bearing children became a national responsibility. The Nazis also created an office to combat homosexuality and abortion, which were blamed in part for declining birthrates. A display of the "10 Commandments for Choosing a Mate" advises people to "Remember that you are a German" and admonishes "everything you are is not of your own but through your nation." It goes on to suggest picking a Nordic mate, advises against picking the "one good person" in a "bad family" - "No medical art can change ruined medical material" - and tells couples to wish for as many children as possible. One display shows swastika-emblazoned honor crosses of German motherhood: bronze to mothers of four or five children; silver for six or seven children; gold for eight or more children.

Irans Oil , How long will it last
I got on my computer one day a couple of months ago , and I read my headline news . The headline read , Iran's oil shortage . So I read down through the article . It said that the scientist has made a determination that Iran will run out of oil in 15 years at the rate were going now and a steady increase .... Well I can see how they come to that conclusion .... There has been wells run dry in Oklahoma an Texas ..... so they just figure , so much area holds so much oil .... So I can see how they come up with that ,,, Not so sure about the one's that are still trying to prove that there is no God . So I can some what agree with them about the oil shortage .... Not going to argue with them ....
So what as a country should we do . ??? What should are leaders be doing .... Well I don't think war is the answer .... seems like a waste of gas to me .... Not to mention lives .... Let's put this in more simpler form .... let's replace oil with beans ... since I'm more of a country boy than a city slicker .... I deal with beans more than oil .... Now if I take a look at my bean supply and figure out that to have a bowl of beans once a week I will need 52 bowls of beans .... So what do I do if I only got 46 bowls of beans .... I know I got to make my bowls of beans smaller .... But then I wont have any seeds to plant so now I have even got to make them smaller or skip a few weeks with out beans .... But I do what I got to do so I can have beans next year ....
Last year President Bush said that we need to make more efficient cars , that don't look like a golf cart .... Now what's wrong with golf carts .... except the police would arrest you for driving them in town .... the way laws are now .... So I will continue to get in my 5.0 gas burner to go to the store , or go to visit a friend that lives 16 blocks away .... besides the speed limit is 25 mph.
Yeah , we need to change some laws on golf carts .... I just wonder how many people would drive a golf cart in the summer time to the store or work place if its not to far away ... 3 , 4 million or more .... not every one lives 40 miles from work or store .... Now it wouldn't be to pleasant in the winter time but the summer time I bet you would be surprised to see how many people would rather drive a cart than a gas guzzler in the summer time ,,,, .... That would be a start .... a lot better than sending young men and women to war .... and it might help the OZONE .... And just think of how much you would save in car insurance .... OH well maybe not , I'm sure that the Insurance company's still got their foot in the door of the White House with their hands full of envelopes full of money ....
Now lets stop and think of what the Bush administration has done to deal with the oil shortage ..... ( I'm thinking , I'm thinking really I am ) Oh well he did get us in war with Iraq so we could keep an oil spicket there .... and uuhh , uuhh ,,, well maybe I should of thought of an easier question ..... but how long do you think that it would take for our high school kids to get a 20 mph golf cart to 40 mph .... didn't take them long to get a 60 mph car to 90 in the quarter mile did it ..... ??? .....
So Public Citizens am I full of beans or what ? And if I'm full of beans then I must of done some thing right the year before ..... Think about it >>>??? ...

So if your reading this your probably wondering why am I writing to the attorney general Jay Nixon ..... If you've read this blog you would know that I took vioxx and been trying to settle my case with them .... I've sent all my papers to Merck like they asked me to do , and make copies ........ had to send some more copies to them they said they didn't have them , but they did !!! any way Merck don't want to compensate me for what they put me through . and So I guess I'll have to press attempted murder charges against them along with racketeering ..... Every one that I've ask they say yes I should put charges against them ..... they all know that Merck Knew that it raised the risk in heart attacks and has killed 100,000 or so and has 11,500 cases pending against them .... as of this date they won four and lost four cases .... but I want you people to know that I am asking the Attorney General Mr. Jay Nixon to file attempted Murder and Racketeering charges against Merck ...... Like I said Every one that I have talked to know that Merck knew in 2,000 that vioxx was causing heart attacks ..... and that they deleted the information and kept it on sale till 2004 ..... I know if I would sell something to some one that knowingly it could possibly kill some one that I would have murder charges against me ..... and keep on selling it and make a profit , now that's racketeering ...... well folks I will let ya know if I here back from the attorney general Mr. Jay Nixon ...... he will have a lot of explaining to do if he don't ......... might be because he's got stock in it ..... ya never know .......... more at a later date .................

FDA Studying Safety of Arthritis Drugs
Top Stories
By Caveman , Associated Web City Press Writer Webb City Mo. - Vioxx and other pain-relieving drugs have given many people with chronic pain the chance to resume some what of a normal life. But an increase in heart attacks among users of the popular arthritis drug led the manufacturer to pull it from the market and has cast a shadow over similar medications. Did Merck pay off the FDA to get this drug on the market ? If so should the Goverment help Merck pay for their mistake .
Advisers to the Food and Drug Administration meet to see if a balance can be found between benefits from these kinds of prescription drugs and the dangers they may pose. Over three days , two advisory groups will hear from regulators, pharmaceutical companies, researchers, doctors and the public in an effort to understand what went wrong that led toVioxx being withdrawn and raised doubts about others and what needs to be done now. Merck & Co.'s Vioxx and two similar drugs — Pfizer Inc.'s Celebrex and Bextra, both — are among a new class called Cox-2 inhibitors used widely to treat arthritis and other chronic conditions. These drugs, which target the Cox-2 enzyme involved in inflammation, avoided the stomach and intestinal problems that can occur with other medications that affect both Cox-1 and Cox-2 enzymes. TheCox-1 enzyme helps the stomach maintain its protective coating.Clinical trials found few serious problems with the new drugs. But there was an increase in heart attacks and strokes among patients"".As a result, Merck halted the study and pulled Vioxx from the market on Sept. 30.In a memo to the two FDA advisory committees, the agency's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research noted that many consumers and scientists have questioned whether any Cox-2 drug should be allowed to remain on sale." "What is your view? Is there a patient population for whom the risk is warranted,( I DON'T THINK SO ) given the known potential for benefit?" the agency asked the arthritis and the drug safety and risk management committees.It is not clear how the drugs may cause heart problems; that is one more question the committees will consider. (One suggestion is that because Vioxx seems to increase blood pressure, heart trouble could result.) A second possibility is that Vioxx directly affects endothelial cells, which line the heart and blood vessels. The Cox-2 enzyme affects those cells and some researchers believe blocking it may have led to the heart problems. The withdrawal of Vioxx also raised questions about the safety of Celebrex and Bextra. A 1999 study of Alzheimer's patients taking Celebrex indicated that the patients had four times the risk of heart problems. Pfizer contends that definitive conclusions cannot be drawn from that study. In December, a different study linked Celebrex to increased cardiovascular problems. Pfizer's president of worldwide development, Dr. Joseph Feczko, said the results in that study were not consistent with a "large body of data" the company had collected. In November a preliminary study discussed at the American Heart Association annual meeting indicated Bextra more than doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke among heart disease patients. Pfizer said those findings were "unsubstantiated conclusions" that had not been subjected to independent scientific review. But the company advised regulators that it will add to the Bextra packaging a warning of a potentially fatal skin reaction linked to the drug. The FDA has received a request from the consumer group Public Citizen to order Celebrex and Bextra from the market, which the agency is reviewing. While awaiting findings of the advisory committees, the FDA has urged physicians and patients to use caution with any painkiller. Dr. John K. Jenkins, the FDA's director of new drugs, said even such popular over-the-counter products as Aleve, ibuprofen and aspirin should not be used longer than 10 days without consulting a doctor. Naproxen, a popular painkiller sold as Aleve and Naprosyn, has been implicated in heart problems in a National Institutes of Health study."This is a rapidly evolving area," Jenkins said. ___ On the Web. Food and Drug Administration: http://www.fda.gov/ So Dr. John K. Jenkins , the FDA's director of new drugs just said that over the counter products as Aleve , Ibuprofen , and even aspirin should not be used no longer than 10 days without consulting a Dr. So I ask you Dr. Jenkins did Merck pay you off to accept Vioxx .... ??? IS MONEY YOUR DRUG OF CHOICE ? What is your opinion on this public citizen ?

TheCox-1 enzyme helps the stomach maintain its protective coating.Clinical trials found few serious problems with the new drugs. But there was an increase in heart attacks and strokes among patients"".As a result, Merck halted the study and pulled Vioxx from the market on Sept. 30.In a memo to the two FDA advisory committees, the agency's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research noted that many consumers and scientists have questioned whether any Cox-2 drug should be allowed to remain on sale." "What is your view? Is there a patient population for whom the risk is warranted,( I DON'T THINK SO ) given the known potential for benefit?" the agency asked the arthritis and the drug safety and risk management committees.It is not clear how the drugs may cause heart problems; that is one more question the committees will consider. (One suggestion is that because Vioxx seems to increase blood pressure, heart trouble could result.) A second possibility is that Vioxx directly affects endothelial cells, which line the heart and blood vessels. The Cox-2 enzyme affects those cells and some researchers believe blocking it may have led to the heart problems. The withdrawal of Vioxx also raised questions about the safety of Celebrex and Bextra. A 1999 study of Alzheimer's patients taking Celebrex indicated that the patients had four times the risk of heart problems. Pfizer contends that definitive conclusions cannot be drawn from that study. In December, a different study linked Celebrex to increased cardiovascular problems. Pfizer's president of worldwide development, Dr. Joseph Feczko, said the results in that study were not consistent with a "large body of data" the company had collected. In November a preliminary study discussed at the American Heart Association annual meeting indicated Bextra more than doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke among heart disease patients. Pfizer said those findings were "unsubstantiated conclusions" that had not been subjected to independent scientific review. But the company advised regulators that it will add to the Bextra packaging a warning of a potentially fatal skin reaction linked to the drug. The FDA has received a request from the consumer group Public Citizen to order Celebrex and Bextra from the market, which the agency is reviewing. While awaiting findings of the advisory committees, the FDA has urged physicians and patients to use caution with any painkiller. Dr. John K. Jenkins, the FDA's director of new drugs, said even such popular over-the-counter products as Aleve, ibuprofen and aspirin should not be used longer than 10 days without consulting a doctor. Naproxen, a popular painkiller sold as Aleve and Naprosyn, has been implicated in heart problems in a National Institutes of Health study."This is a rapidly evolving area," Jenkins said. ___ On the Web. Food and Drug Administration: http://www.fda.gov/ So Dr. John K. Jenkins , the FDA's director of new drugs just said that over the counter products as Aleve , Ibuprofen , and even aspirin should not be used no longer than 10 days without consulting a Dr. So I ask you Dr. Jenkins did Merck pay you off to accept Vioxx .... ??? IS MONEY YOUR DRUG OF CHOICE ? What is your opinion on this public citizen ?
Looking back in History
I'm sure this picture will be around a long time to haunt Donald ..... I can remember when a hand shake meant something .....Well at least Donald got Saddam's hand gun for a souvenir, I wonder what President George W. Bush got ? OH YEAH !!!!! He got the oil .... But what about Dick Cheney .... OH YEAH ,,,, I forgot about Halaburton .... And Blackwater.... Heck ... I bet there is a bunch of them on capitol hill making all kinds of money from wall street .... in this blog ( I call it a trail ) everyone calls it a blog but I call it a ( Trail ) because that's what it does gives ya a trail to follow .... and if ya follow the trail long enough and enough people follow it , it will become a path ..... So now you know how I come up with the straight and narrow crooked path ..... I don't think I'll have to explain the straight and crooked .... Now , take a look at this picture now .... You see two men shaking hands .... Now why couldn't they talk .... well from what I got out of every thing that's happened ,,, looks like Saddam was telling the truth .... No Weapons of Mass Destruction ..... Now that's what they said is the reason that we went to WAR with Saddam ,,, Maybe in this picture Mr. Rumsfeld was selling him the weapons of mass destruction maybe that's what the hand shake is about , cause I don't think that it was the FOOD FOR OIL DEAL. Saddam had trucks loads of money but ya can't eat money when there's no food to buy .... We went in and attacked Iraq .... Bombed their ground defence .... and the infantry walk out and gave up , thinking that ... hey their Americans they was good people in the second world war , they will treat us good .... if we give up now it will end early and we can go back home .... But what did we do , ? ... We took naked pictures of them for one thing .... humiliating them .... Now what would you think if it was visa versa .... We went in not trying to kill every one ... and we do that to them ,,,,, I would be very mad ... and so someone who was hurt , mad , and angry they cut off some heads .... and we call them savages and they call us infidels .... when will the madness stop ./? I know and most of you know that this war is over oil , and power .... Heck , just take a look at things , ya got President Bush he was in oil , probably still got interest in it . ya got Putin from Russia ,,, ya got Chavez and Iran's Ahmadinejab .... Putin from Russia has got or had one of the main leading oil men in jail , he wanted to pay 4 billion dollars to pay his back taxes and he didn't let him .... so Putin took over from what I understand ,,, And President Putin would probably like to get President Bush in jail too ..... Hey , now think about it ,our president had King Hussein put in jail .... ???? ... Now then ya got Venezuela's Chavez , now he's an oil man .... Now I like this guy ,,,, I know most Americans wont agree with me , but listen .... These guys are OIL MEN .... he's at THE UNITED NATIONS ... and calls the President the DEVIL ..... I never laughed so hard in my life ..... I had to watch the rerun of it lol ..... Yeah President Bush left the United Nations and when Chavez got up to the podium . he says , is that sulfur I smell ..... Now the republicans probably don't think that this is funny , but I do ,,,, I mean this guy is just saying what people are saying about our President on c-span ....
Now then there's Iran's President Ahmadinejab I've seen him on TV. I think that it was Mike Wallace that interviewed him , not sure but I think it was , but Mike was very rude to him .... Mike acted like he was the President and President Ahmabinejab was getting interrogated by a detective .... he wanted a yes or no answer ,,,, and it seemed like a court of law to me .... And if I was President of Iran I wouldn't do another one with Mike Wallace ,,,,, I really feel sorry for both of them ,,,,, The President probably had some good stuff to say ..... but Mr. Wallace wanted a yes or no answer ... Mike ya screwed that interview up bad .... So Mister President of Iran , Mr. Ahmadinejab .... Next time ya get an interview . say yes but tell them not to interrupt you till your done explaining .... when they do , walk out ,,,, I'm sure you got something to say and I and many more people want to here it ....
And now to answer the republicans , Saddam Hussein might of killed thousands of people in one town ,,,, but they attacked him .... and I don't know if they was being invaded or what , So let me ask you , what is worse ? Him trying to get rid of the people that tried to kill him or our President putting some one in the FDA and letting them pass a pill that will kill .... like Merck . the makers of Vioxx it killed thousands of people as many as Saddam did .... if not more ... it killed the people that was getting ready to retire ... and wasn't that one of the first things bush wanted to do .... was take control of the social security .... think about it .....
SO THIS IS JUST SOME THINGS I THINK ABOUT .... LIKE MOST OF AMERICA ... SO SUE US ,,,,, CAN YA SUE US FOR HOW WE THINK ..... ???? THINK ABOUT IT ..... ????? KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS COMING IN .... ... ... .

Merck the makers of Vioxx
Merck the makers of Vioxx has killed 100,000 or so people depending on the news source . They have 11,500 cases pending against them . Only seven cases as to date have went to court and they lost four of the seven cases .... The FDA said that vioxx was safe and effective .... Vioxx was a pain pill for arthritis ,,, Friday, April 21, 2006 RIO GRANDE CITY, Texas - A state jury found Merck & Co. liable Friday for the death of a 71-year-old man who had a fatal heart attack within a month of taking its since-withdrawn painkiller Vioxx and ordered the company to pay $32 million. Merck said it would appeal.The damage award will likely be reduced because of a state law capping punitive damages.The jury of 10 men and two women deliberated for about seven hours over two days before returning the verdict in favor of the family of Leonel Garza, who had suffered from heart disease for more than 20 years and had taken Vioxx for less than a month.The company was ordered to pay $7 million in non-economic compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages.But the punitive damage amount is likely to be reduced since state law caps punitive damages at twice the amount of economic damages - lost pay - and up to $750,000 on top of non-economic damages, which are comprised of mental anguish and loss of companionship.Because Garza was retired, the jury awarded no economic damages. That means the most Garza's family could receive under state law is $7.75 million."Merck will appeal," spokesman Kent Jarrell said."This is the first case in the country where short-term usage has been found by a jury to be causatory of heart attacks," said plaintiffs' attorney Joe Escobedo. "We hope this will go a long way in dispelling this '18-month' science fiction myth."...................................................................................... ........... .............................. ................ ......... NOW how can we trust Merck and the FDA ... These people that Vioxx killed was people that was retired or starting to retire ..... That sure is a way to take control of the entitlements that the government wants to cut down on with the baby boomers retiring ..... Now if that's what the government is doing I don't know but it sure looks like it , even the congress wont talk about it .... Now if I made a candy bar that killed 100,000 people or more I would be in jail and broke . I'd never see daylight ..... Now if i remember right wasn't one of the first things that the President George Bush wanting to do was fix Social Security ..... In this blog I'll try to show you the reasons why i feel as I do ..... ... I don't like feeling like this about my country but the congress is making me feel this way ...... Democrats and Republicans are both talking about medicare and medicaid reform .... I know people on medicaid and they only have to make a 2.00 co-pay ..... why are all they making such a big deal out of it , do they want to lower the co pay to one dollar . I do know that they all want your medical records on electronic records .... Just another way to keep track of you .... This next article is about Merck and the new hpv drug Gardisil .... This new drug is supposed to stop cervical cancer and genital warts . Now , I just wonder how they tested that , did they have a virgin girl to have sex with some one that had genital warts ? and one last thing I was wondering about this why did they stop giving the shots after 26 years old , don't older women get cancer to ? or is the shot for some other reason , like make young girls sterile if their on medicaid .... you make up your own mind , check it out ....

ATLANTA - Taking up a sensitive issue among religious conservatives, an influential government advisory panel Thursday recommended that 11- and 12-year-old girls be routinely vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices also said the shots can be started for girls as young as 9, at the discretion of their doctors.
The committee's recommendations usually are accepted by federal health officials, and influence insurance coverage for vaccinations.
The recommendation involves Gardasil, which is made by Merck & Co. and is the first vaccine specifically designed to prevent cancer. Approved earlier this month by the Food and Drug Administration for females ages 9 to 26, it protects against strains of the human papilloma virus, or HPV, which causes cervical, vulvar and vaginal cancers and genital warts.
Health officials estimate that more than 50 percent of sexually active women and men will be infected with one or more types of HPV in their lifetimes. Vaccine proponents say it could dramatically reduce the nearly 4,000 cervical cancer deaths in the United States each year.
The vaccine is considered most effective when given to girls before they become sexually active. About 7 percent of children have had sexual intercourse before age 13, and about a quarter of boys and girls have had sex by age 15, according to government surveys.
The committee's vote was unanimous, with two of the 15 members abstaining because of they have worked on Merck-funded studies. ( SURE WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW WHO THESE 15 MEMBERS WERE )
The committee also voted to add the HPV vaccine to the coverage list for the federal Vaccines for Children program, which pays for immunizations for the poor. That could mean $50 million to $100 million in additional spending in the first year, government officials said.
Some health officials had girded themselves for arguments from religious conservatives and others that vaccinating youngsters against the sexually transmitted virus might make them more likely to have sex. But the controversy never materialized in the panel's public meetings.
Merck officials said that in the past 18 months they met with several conservative and religious groups to educate them about the vaccine and the illnesses it is designed to prevent.
Earlier this year, the Family Research Council, a conservative group, did not speak out against giving the HPV shot to young girls. The organization mainly opposes making it one of the vaccines required before youngsters can enroll in school, said the group's policy analyst, Moira Gaul.
Another organization, Colorado-based Focus on the Family, was even stronger in voicing fears that states would require schoolchildren to get HPV shots.
"By giving its highest level of recommendation, the panel has placed strong pressure on state governments to make HPV vaccinations mandatory," Linda Klepacki, a Focus on the Family analyst for sexual health, said in a statement.
"If that happens, state officials, not parents, would become the primary sexual-health decision makers for America's children. That's the way things are done in dictatorships, not democracies."
The government advisory panel did not recommend that the vaccine be required by schools, though some organizations - including Planned Parenthood - have advocated such a step.
Surveys suggest the shots will have little effect on youngsters' sexual behavior, said Nicole Liddon, a behavioral scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In a recent survey of virgins 15 to 19, only 10 percent of boys and 7 percent of girls cited fear of disease as a reason not to have sex, Liddon said.
The vaccine comes as a $360 series of three shots, and in tests has been highly effective against HPV. The vaccine is formulated to address the subtypes of HPV responsible for 70 percent of cervical cancer cases and 90 percent of genital warts.
In a public comment session at Thursday's meeting, all nine speakers supported recommending the vaccine to females 9 to 26, the broadest possible group under FDA license. The speakers included a state senator from Maryland and the chief medical officer of AmeriChoice, a UnitedHealth Group company that manages state Medicaid programs.
The panel focused on 11- to 12-year-olds in part because children that age already routinely get two other shots.
Several speakers also called for the immunization of boys, as soon as studies are completed on the vaccine's safety and effectiveness for males. HPV has been linked to penile, anal, and head and neck cancers and a tumor-like condition of the respiratory tract.
Merck officials said clinical effectiveness studies in males should be completed by 2008.
Merck officials also said they can provide the more than 19 million doses that health officials expect would be used in the next year.
Now let me do some figuring .... 19 million times 360$ a dose is ah let me see ... that comes to 6billion 840 million $$$.... So if it cost 840 million to to produce or 50 to 100 million like they said earlier ..... Merck is going to make at least 6 billion ..... Now if those 19 million doses of Gardasil go to girls that's on medicare or medicaid , the Government will be paying Merck 6,840,000. $$$ ..... But lets take a look at what could happen if that Gardasil would have some kind of side effect like lets say , make a young girl sterile .... How would the young girls prove it , their on medicaid , cant afford a real lawyer , Now they could wait for a lawyer to advertise on tv. and have them say that they don't get paid intill you get paid .... and promise them that if they win the case you can get a 250,000 $$ settlement ,( 250,000 $ is the cap limit that President and congress has put on liable suites , after vioxx , so you know who ;the congress is for ) So they sign the papers to let the lawyers represent them . But in the papers that they sign its noted that if they change their minds on using this law firm that they will be charged a 25,000 $ service fee ..... Now what girl on medicaid can afford that .... So the young gal calls the law firm every four to six months , and they tell her that there is thousands of cases pending be patient .... and that continues for years ..... But what the young gal don't know is that Merck the maker of Vioxx and Gardasil has called lawyers throughout the fifty states and paid them to advertise on TV. to take the class action lawsuits... and she happens to get one of them . . . this goes on for years , and she calls back and they tell her that they have no record of her filing a claim ...... The young lady falls into a deep deep depression and she goes to a Dr. that medicaid provides for her , he gives her some anti depressant pills , they don't seem to work so he gives her another kind , this goes on for a few years , longing for a family of her own , and finally committing suicide .... Her family knows that it was the drugs that caused her to committ suicide cause there is thousands of young women that became depressed just like her wanting a family of their own .... there is lawyers on TV. all over the county advertising for class action lawsuits against the anti depressants that the Dr. have wrote scripts for .... and the cycle continues ...... ( FOLKS SOME OF THIS HAS COME FROM THE MAIN STREAM NEWS MEDIA AND SOME OF THIS HAS BEEN FICTISHIOUSLY MADE UP , TO MAKE YOU THINK BEFORE YOU TAKE A DRUG... AND PLEASE DON'T LET THE GOVERMENT DICTATE TO YOU WHAT KIND OF DRUGS YOUR TO TAKE OR YOUR FAMILY ) SOME OF THE NAMES HAS BEEN CHANGED TO PROTECT THE INOCENT AND SOME WERE KEPT TO PUT YA ON THE SPOT .....
