Side effects may include having all your dreams come true (notes)

Side effects may include having all your dreams come true (true)

I am so glad to see the new Jude Law movie coming out presented as the unfortunate side effects risked from the new drug.

I just watched a commercial for a sleep drug that included the qualification, "depressed users may have increased thoughts of suicide".

We are the bright red lobsters in the pot. Doctors and pharma reps will tell you that these crazy addendums are mandated by a mega-restrictive legal environment that is parenthetically also responsible for greatly magnifying R&D costs in a rock and a hard place configuration effectively strangling these good companies from doing their good work and selling their good product. Whew.

I dunno. I am most moved by friends and close associates who (vast majority) suffer and muddle through following current medical advice, including taking whatever pills they are provided, AND THEN THE OTHER GROUP (much smaller) who have completely rejected all pills and invasive procedures and who have in large part greatly increased their quality of life if possibly forced to endure a condition of debilitating health.

The thing for me is this : who told these people they wouldn't get sick and die? What is it that scares the American public about ending this parade of confusion and pain?

As long as there is a profit available, business will figure out a way to attempt to gain it. But today during the Super Bowl there will be drugs shilled that include words that should scare the hell out of us. Let's ____________________, and do it NOW. Whadaya say?
