Video: Making a Killing (Big Pharma Documentary)

[Matt Hatter]

Hey guys just finished watching this last night.

Great video about the horrible Drug Industry and the FDA. Im sure you are aware of some of this but I had no idea drugs were being rebranded to cure new made up diseases.

Enjoy!

I think I saw this a while back but I'm presently re-enjoying it. Drugs to treat normal human emotions rake in $330 Billion a year (and growing). Also, more and more people today feel comforted that they can label their emotions, even though the root cause of most of these "conditions" is simply the matrix we all find ourselves in today. If you can't conform 100%, then you're somehow sick. f**k socialism and all those who champion it.

The entire psychiatric profession is a bad joke, and as usual, the reason it's able to exist is "government functions".

"That government is best which governs least." (Thomas Paine)

Well it's copywrite free! Go make some moola!

PS - The video just claimed that the FDA charges $1M just to review an application for a new drug. Is that true, anyone know? If so, that puts them in an extreme conflict of interest. Imagine two guys in a bar: "I'm developing a drug to help aleviate the embarassment associated with farting in a crowded elevator, but we have more research to do before seeking government approval." FDA guy: "What!!!??? That's brilliant! Gimme a million bucks and we'll start selling it tomorrow." (insert salivating smiley now)

There's no end to the illusion.

 Clintoon GUTTED the FDA budget..told them they could ask the drug companies for the funds they needed , since it would  be beneficial  for the drug companies to have the FDA well funded and staffed to  do their job, and fast.
 I remember the douche  making those statements and  the minor uproar by  a few citizens.  I think the consumer advocate(cannot think of his name this minute) he ran for Prez last year too, was  one of only a handful who protested this.
It has only gotten worse...
