The pharmaceutical industry "Florence
Nightingales" and how they screw us
“The more he spoke of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.”
--Nathaniel Hawthorne
There is much grumbling going on in the drug business and in the financial markets. These audacious scum formulators will be picking your pockets with renewed vigor after Celebrex and its financial following took a dive this week. They shouldn’t have much to worry about, having bought a huge insurance policy from Bush Unlimited and his cadre of “good guys around him.”
Pfizer is caught in bogus trials; the FDA is once again exposed as an accomplice to corporate crime in the ostensible mission of keeping the people safe and healthy. Celebrex can kill you? So what, that’s better than pulling it off the market and opening up litigation. Sell, sell, sell. Who cares? Bush Unlimited will soon strike down all lawsuits as “frivolous” (but you killed my daddy!). Heartbreaking, isn’t it?
Are these drug-industry quack scientists Christian values voters and Bush Unlimited contributors? Then how does that explain billions of dollars in hard-on ads aired in prime time? You know, the ads with necked women in bathtubs luring daddy over for quickie. Or couples at bars with voiceovers, When the urge may strike (should throw a condom rift into the copy here, don’t you think?) These guys took the cure and now they can get it up! What hogwash. Look at the models. They’re young and beautiful. They probably need saltpeter just to shoot the damn spots. They need “the cure” for limpdick about as much my son, and he’s twenty-one.
Now the $500 billion industry is crying in its formula because they aren’t coming out with new drugs (profits makers) so they’re trying to push existing drugs on doctors who wish they’d go away and on patients who don’t need them.
Keep counting the flatware, folks.
Brrrrrr!
The first arctic wave should be here by tonight. Temperatures in the teens with twenty to thirty mph winds = zero and below. The kids’ gas bill went from $45 to $145 in the past month. I was over there showing them ways to seal windows, cut the usage.
