The film details the many aspects of the Vioxx debacle from the perspective of patients who assumed the life-threatening pain reliever was safe because a bureaucracy stacked against anything and everything but big business didn't tell them otherwise.

ReplyDeleteThank you for putting this video on your site. Firmian and Baudo deserve the publicity you can give them. This movie rocks. I bought the 71 minute documentary and it is spell binding.
Why would you bother posting such a piece of shit? There was zero substance to this trailer. Even the numbers quoted by Waxman are hyperbole.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to respectfully disagree with the last posting. I would say that the hyperbole is an UNDER STATEMENT. The public has no idea how many non-efficacious drugs are really out there. Remember, placebo is 40% efficacious, does that remind you of any treatments.... can we spell antidepressants?
ReplyDeleteThis video is a brilliant eyeopener. thanks!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe western-style spoof (second trailer) is particularly brilliant and properly describes the greed of Big Pharma. I will buy the dvd.
ReplyDeletei think hogs do not deserve to be compared to these pharmaceutical companies...
ReplyDeleteI'd say you're right.
ReplyDeletei've seen the entire movie, these people are doing their job of making money for themselves and the stockholders, they are average greedy folks, it's the fda guys that are weak and deserve to be fired, that galson for example...
