Evelyn Pringle: August 24 DC Protest - What's Everybody Mad About?
Evelyn Pringle: August 24 DC Protest - What's Everybody Mad About?: "Approving and marketing lethal drugs, while concealing the results of studies that reveal deadly side affects, should be a jailable offense. This conduct is not due to mistakes, it is representative of by now an all too familiar pattern of criminal behavior by top officials within the nation's top regulatory agencies and the pharmaceutical industry.
According to Rosie, "About two million people enter a psychiatric hospital every year, 11% then is over 200,000 people a year who have an antidepressant-induced psychosis and who are hospitalized," she reported.
"Not all are hospitalized," Rosie warns, "Some of them have either committed suicide, a homicide, or a murder/suicide."
The truth is, nothing phases the greedy band of thugs involved in pushing these lethal drugs for profit. Only when they see CEOs and government officials being marched off to prison, right along side of other murderers, will they knock it off.
Why are other protesters angry at the FDA and Big Pharma?
Allen Routhier is the main organizer of the event, let's look at his reason.
In June 2002, Allen's wife, Diane, was suffering from abdominal pains, nausea, indigestion, migraines, and backaches, and consulted her physician. Even though she had no history of depression, the doctor attributed her problems to stress and depression.
The question remains why, when according to all accounts, Diane was known to be a fun-loving, lively, upbeat person.
Without advising her of any side effects, her doctor sent her off with sample blister packs of Bupropion, a drug manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, also known as Wellbutrin. The packs contained no labels, no warnings, and no indication of any adverse effects or reactions that she may be experience while taking the drug.
Almost immediately after taking one pill, Diane became violently ill, with diarrhea, nausea, shakes, and a fever. She also felt irritable, agitated, anxious, dizzy and nervous.
On Friday, June 20, 2003, Diane felt terrible and called in sick to work, which was highly unusual. On June 23 and 24, she was again bedridden and suffered from insomnia, nausea, headaches, toothaches, dizziness, and among other things, diarrhea.
At approximately noon on June 25, her sister, Lynn, called and Diane cried and said she did not feel well. At some point that afternoon, Diane took a gun, went to a corner of the basement, laid in a fetal position, put the gun to her head and pulled the trigger.
During the autopsy, the medical examiner discovered Diane had gallstones, a condition not diagnosed by her doctor, but which fit perfectly with the symptoms she complained of.
Allen was left to explain a mother's death to their 2 young sons.
