allergan, the makers of botox, wants to pitch their drugs for uses for which they have not been approved. they call this 'free speech'.
(we have some pills that we'd like to sell to you, too. they make you immortal. want some?)
jesus christ! isn't it enough that big pharma owns the fda without letting them sell their wares for conditions that they haven't even been tested on? isn't it enough that so many of the drugs that do get approved for a particular condition don't work at all, work poorly, or cause worse issues than they're meant to treat?
here's another one: there appears to be little good science behind the need for a swine flu vaccine, testing has been spotty, yet if something goes wrong and you have a bad reaction to the vaccine, you can't sue the drug maker. no matter how bad it gets. because congress says so.
we shit you not.
