FDA is taking a tougher stance on misleading drug
On second thoughts, why not just ban these ads, as in the past. I challenge anybody: Show me a TV drug ad that is not misleading.
Plavix ads (cont’d): Take me or die
Yesterday, I saw a TV ad (a repeat, I think) for Plavix – the drug that is supposed to keep you from getting that “big” one , as Sanford (Sanford and Son vintage) might say. Here the doctor (dresses like one anyway) writes PLAVIX (all caps) on a prescription pad. Made me wonder: Which accredited medical school did he graduate from?. In another (or the same) ad, a gurnney keeps following the guy in the ad. Now that is funny – a “heart attack” watch gurney.
Stem Cell Research: Clash of Science and Religion (again)
Judge Keeps Ban on Stem Cell Funds
I just can’t believe that in the 21st century we are talking as we are living in the 1500’s. Remember Gallileo.
Embryos are destroyed routinely in in-vitro fetilization clinics. Just imagine: Thanks to laws enacted by religious zealots, judges are jumping into the frey.
A mere $50 billion for jobs, when about 20 million of us are jobless
Obama Offers a Transit Plan to Create Jobs
I did a simple calculation: $50 Billion/20 Million American $2500.00/American. WoW! And that is before “leakage” for red tape and fraud. Mr President, why so little? We are wasting more than $50 billion a month in Iraq and Afghanistan, aren’t we?
