Pfizer has dragged their feet til im to the point of having to depend on charity organization to even eat. Pfizer knew the drug was dangerous even before they put it on the market and lied about the results of their testing to the FDA. They are refusing to offer enough monies to me so i can pay my rent every month, or eat, or get health care which i need now due to my heart problem. People need to get up in arms because apparently even the courts are allowing Pfizer to do what they are doing, dragging their feet on this.

Pfizer is mocking all victims of the drugs they make and are playing a game with them. For Pfizer, all is just an economical question and not about ethics! They have no respect of the law or the life of other people. I am German and my wife killed herself three years ago after she took the antidepressant Zoloft for two weeks. Never before has she been suicidal but the drug changed her mood. At the time she took the drug the package insert contained no warning about the risk of suicide and that Zoloft can make some people suicidal and that the patients should be observed closely, especially at the beginning of taking the drug and when changing the dosage. Pfizer doesn’t admit any fault! They try to put the blame on my wife’s illness, but she was never suicidal. She loved life and had so many plans and ideas about our future! Now Pfizer has changed the label of ZOLOFT. After all they couldn’t ignore the facts and feared more legal damage and costs if they didn’t change the label. I tried to sue Pfizer for manslaughter and concealing the risk of suicide. But the German courts dismissed my case despite all the evidence. Pfizer is playing a game on me and the german public. But I won’t stop. I have created two blogs, one in English http://contra-pfizer.blogspot.com and one in German at http://gegen-pfizer.blogspot.com to tell my story. You are right, anonymous.

Pfizer was the company that started the collapse of Cox-2 inhibitors, in the end denying good pain killers for many of us. They made such a stink about Vioxx having heart side effects, but Celebrex and bextra being clean. The lied all over the place casting doubt on the whole class thinking that they were just attacking vioxx. Now they are paying the price for stupidity and bad ethics.
