    everyone knows Pfizer is responsible for these injuries, illnesses and deaths. But because the Bush Cheney cronies have stacked the deck so badly with judges unsympathetic to the plight of children and the middle class, the courts have managed to limit prooduct liability claims in such a way as to prevent innocent injured claimants from ever recovering one cent in compensation.

    Good presentation of factual, scientific evidence to support your statement. You go, girl!

    Rosie, your claim that Pfizer is solely responsible is off the mark.

    A point that you must consider is that the FDA approved the drugs to start.

    Another point is that choice to use this drug was a mutual decision between the doctor prescribing the drug and the patient; and there are several points at which the patient could have said maybe I shouldn’t take this.

    1) When a doctor prescribes a drug with known potentially harmful side effect, they go over those side effects and symptoms there of.

    2) When the person picks-up the medication from the Pharmacy. The pharmacist prior to dispensing the medication is ALSO supposed to over those side effects and symptoms, as well as going over how often and when the person needs to take the drug.

    3) Prior to taking the medication, it is generally recommended that you read the informational page the pharmacy give you. If you didn’t get the literature, LOOK IT UP.

    If you still have any qualms about the side-effects after all these points, do not take the medication without discussing the matter further with your physician.

    There have always been alternatives with lesser side effects but the benefits are less as well.

    You seem to blame the “Bush/Cheney” cabel for everything you disagree with.
    The two courts ruled on the facts not opinion, judgement or whatever. One of them was the US District in SF hardly a bastion of conservitism.
    Do we have a problem with conspiracies?
    Excuse me I have to go check for black helicopters in my garage.

    C’mon now, you know Rosie makes her comments & then abandons the site by putting her head back in the sand. She doesn’t revisit to see what we all have to compliment her on….thoughtful, reasoned blogging. At least we know one village has an idiot (or two?).

    This is a fantastic ruling. Hopefully we will hear more good news like this and thus stop (or slow down) the huge proliferation of junk and/or class action lawsuits.

    Wow… Even in San Francisco they dismissed this case. Let me guess, Rosie you are the same person that screams about the ever increasing cost of health care. Yet you want these same companies (who by the way spend more on new medical R&D than most countries do in a decade) to be cut off at the knees anytime someone brings a suit. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

    P.S. Nothing Rosie said was “factual” or “scientific”. It was an illogical opinion. So whoever wrote the first reply (You go, Rosie) needs to learn how to read and comprehend.
