Outrage Of The Week

This weeks outrage of the week is a tough pick with accusations of Senate seats for sale and the auto bailout stalling in the Senate, and wall streets scandals but this weeks winner are those greedy drug companies. The ones who put profits and sales before the health and safety of the public. On the heels of finding out some drug companies have a tendency only to publish research that shows positive results and not publish or bury negative ones. The funny thing about research it anything, it often turns out the way who ever pays to have it done wants. Researchers want more funding and whats the likely hood of getting more if your research proves your client wrong.

Now a new scandal has emerged involving a on going investigation into Wyeth Pharmaceutical and allegations that it had ghost writers write favorable articles on its female hormone replacement drug Prempro, even after it was shown to increase the risk of breast cancer by at least one federal study.

Its little wonder why many people have lost faith in traditional medicine w hen profits are continually put ahead of people, there has to be a special spot in hell reserved for those making these key decisions.
