Where is your outrage over the hundreds of thousands of deaths each year that result from FDA approved and declared safe, pharmaceuticals? Where is your outrage and your demand for change regarding the drugging of our children and the elderly: many to the point of death. Why are you not outraged over the use of psychotropic medications that cause suicidal and/or homicidal ideation in children deemed too young to be forced onto these drugs, and what is referred to as brainstorms that cause aggressive, violent and psychotic behavior? Why are you not outraged and demanding change over the hundreds of thousands of deaths each year from the use of known toxic pharmaceuticals?

With sheriff’s across the country lining up, drawing a constitutional line in the proverbial sand, this will be an all out power struggle to retain the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. Homeland Security Terrorism Department is arming itself to the teeth in preparation for what can only be a potential attack on America; we need to preserve our 2nd Amendment.
What is missing from the gun debate?
Just imagine for a moment, that congress and the president and all his czars and UN buddies had to 
publicly acknowledge the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries caused by toxic pharmaceuticals each year! All approved safe and effective by the FDA!
Gun deaths accounted for in the FBI Uniform Crime Report, between 2006 and 2010 ,856 people were murdered in the U.S. by firearms. Its unfortunate that we cannot get the FBI to do a Uniform Deadly Medication Report.
Total 2006-2010 deaths: 270,827 and, 1,702,973 serious injuries from toxic pharmaceuticals as reported on DrugWarFact.org , taken from the AERS [FDA's Adverse Events Reporting System] Patient Outcomes by Year Causes of Death (See graph below)
Guns vs Vioxx !!
In the period between 2001 and 2004, Vioxx, manufactured by Merck killed a hundred thousand individuals. Actually the death toll from Vioxx is still rolling.
Conservative writer and activist Ron Unz has concluded that data indicate that the death toll from Vioxx was closer to 500,000 just in 2004.
What? No fake public polls saying the public was in favor of Vioxx control?
Did no one think to print up t-shirts with the slogan “I don’t want to be Vioxx’ed”?
Did the (then) president shed crocodile tears for these half million people? Did he mount a public campaign to outlaw Vioxx? Did he promise swift action on making Vioxx illegal or harder to obtain? Has our current president? No? What’s up with that?
Did any activist groups appear on the streets decrying the deaths from Vioxx and demanding that the marketing of numerous pharmaceuticals known to be deadly, be outlawed? After all, we have an estimated half million people dead from this one drug in just one year. Don’t they count?
Did any big global banks seize the accounts of Merck and refuse to do business with them? No, again? That’s strange…….that’s what they are doing to gun manufacturers.
Has the United Nations begun any negotiations for a UN Global Vioxx Banning Treaty? Declaring the manufacture of even small doses of Vioxx to be banned unless owned and in the possession of the “state”?
Now I get it!
If you are a big pharmaceutical company with thousands of lobbyists crawling like maggots on the corpse that is the District of Criminals, you can kill all the people you like with what you know to be deadly and lethal medications.
No banks will refuse to do business with you, the UN won’t be colluding with our government to end your right to manufacturer and sell Vioxx. There will not be one MSM talking potato head who will even mention shutting down the operations of Merck and holding the corporate leaders and scientists accountable for all these deaths for no other reason than, profit. These privilged S.O.B’s will never be charged with even one murder and hundreds will continue to die as a result of known lethal medications.
If anything horrible should result from the use of these killer drugs, you can always point the finger somewhere else as to the cause. Just keep those “campaign contributions” amounting to millions upon millions rolling in to the coffers of those political whores in the District, and you can get away with murder….for real.

Ozzie Thinker, you have certainly done some serious thinking…something that all of us had better start doing. It seems as though the vulnerable patient/consumer has become the guinea pig. Why not? The profits from sales are far greater than the money paid out in lawsuits.

Louie, you appear to have hit the jackpot [again]! Wasn’t Oliver North [Iran Contra] linked to Merck in some way? Then there’s Haiburton’s “diplomatic bag”. Finally full circle with Tim McVeigh and Gulf pharmaceutical murders all in the “spirit of war”. It is fittingly ironic that the Oklahoma Federal Building was used as the “template” for 9/11 “Twin Towers” {and building 7].

Merck began in the United States in 1887 as a branch of the German company E. Merck AG of Germany. In its original incarnation, the company was a marketer of drugs produced in German. Merck began drug manufacture in the United States in 1903.
Merck became a public company as a consequence of the entry of the United States into the First World War. At that time, George Merck, grandson of the founder of the German company, owned 20 percent of the equity stock in Merck (United States), while the German parent company owned 80 percent of the equity stock. George Merck retained his 20 percent of the equity stock, but transferred the 80 percent equity interest held by the German parent company to the United States government. Following the end of the First World War, the United States government sold its 80 percent share in the company to the public (Hoover’s Inc., History, 2003).

Pharmaceuticals are the “greater of two evils” as they will never be tested “sufficiently” to be “safe”. Nevertheless examples such as Vioxx, Aspermante show criminal neglegence that deserves punishment at the highest level in a fair, democratic world.

Peter R. Breggin, MD, has been called “The Conscience of Psychiatry” for his many decades of successful efforts to reform the mental health field. His scientific and educational work has provided the foundation for modern criticism of psychiatric drugs and ECT, and leads the way in promoting more caring and effective therapies. He is the author of dozens of scientific articles and more than twenty books including the bestseller Talking Back to Prozac (1994, with Ginger Breggin), Medication Madness: The Role of Psychiatric Drugs in Cases of Violence, Suicide and Crime (2008), and Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal: A Guide for Prescribers, Therapists, Patients and Their Families (2013).
Dr. Breggin acts as a medical expert in criminal, malpractice and product liability suits, often involving adverse drug effects such as suicide, violence, brain injury, death, and tardive dyskinesia. He began testifying in the early 1970s and has been qualified in court 85 times or more since 1987.
As an example, in November 2012 a jury in the Supreme Court of the State of New York awarded $1.5 million malpractice verdict to the family of a man who committed suicide while taking psychiatric drugs, including antidepressants (read more). Dr. Breggin was the medical expert for the plaintiffs. In addition, on September 16, 2011, based on Dr. Breggin’s report and testimony, a Winnipeg provincial judge concluded that Prozac caused a sixteen-year-old boy to knife a friend to death (read more).
Dr. Breggin is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and former full-time consultant at NIMH. In 2010 he testified before Congress about psychiatric-drug induced violence and suicide in the military. Dr. Breggin’s private practice is in Ithaca, New York where he treats adults, couples, and families with children. He has a subspecialty in clinical psychopharmacology, including adverse drug effects and psychiatric drug withdrawal.
