A pharmaceutical company has a new miracle drug with doubtful results when tried on rats and chimps.
The only way the company can learn if the drug works is by trying it out on humans.
The company doctors-up the trial results and applies to their friendly FDA for approval. The FDA approves it.
Thousands of humans are told this is a miracle drug for a currently incurable disease. Doctors are handsomely paid to push the new drug on their unsuspecting guinea pig patients. These humans rush to get the new drug.
A short time later, ten humans die and many more are permanently disabled.
The FDA investigates and finds the new miracle drug is the problem. They pull the drug from the market.
The pharmaceutical company settles with the family of the dead and with the disabled for millions of dollars.
The company now has specific data from the dead and disabled humans to further develop the drug.
Eventually, the company feels they have removed the problems and they put the drug out again with a completely new name, maybe even made by one of their different-name subsidiaries so no one will notice. The FDA approves the new doctored documents supporting the drug's efficacy.
Again, doctors and human guinea pigs rush to get the new miracle cure. Again, some die and some are permanently hurt and the experimental circle continues.
These pharmaceutical companies have unlimited tax-free Research and Development money, which is the money that pays the dead and disabled. All legal.
Now, do you wonder why pharmaceutical companies and doctors are lobbying congress to limit the moneys awarded to their dead and disabled "guinea pigs"?
Already, vaccine makers have complete immunity from prosecution so that form of human experimentation is now totally legal and free to Big Pharma.

AND THIS, MY FRIEND, IS THE TRUTH! I SPEAK FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. ANGER AND RESENTFULNESS IS HIDDEN AWAY DEEP INSIDE, AND I GET BY EVERYDAY BECAUSE I REALLY AM BLESSED. I TRY TO BE AS POSITIVE AS I CAN !
Can you please be more specific as to which drugs or formulations your blog is referring to? I completely understand the power the pharmaceutical and medical device industry has on the way medical associations dictate medical treatment since those industries enable the change in therapeutic guidelines. I will say that you blog is a bit of stretch.
Hi Sunny! Thanks for your comment. Your experiences with VIOXx and oyher medications and doctors and hospitals gave me the idea for this post. If you weren't knowledgeable and kept on top of what they were doing, you probably wouldn't be around now.
I wonder if Gardasil and Cervarix (the HPV vaccines) come under this process - sure sounds like it.
They make Gardasil - too many adverse reactions - remarket as Cervarix - more adverse reactions.
I wonder what the next HPV vaccine will be called?
