I have made a decision not to trust the drugs companies, fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice , shame on you. The amount of drugs Iam willing to take have been shaped by their actions.
Judge Weinstein is plain spoken. What the drug companies have done is so bad, if the full extent of the law was applied they would be out of business because of their greed. Judge Weinstein understand that is not his job, but maybe the D.O.J. job. We understand some, will have lawsuits that will hurt the drug companies. I have been educated about off-label, drug companies and lies and what it means not to have my day in court, mass tort. M.D.L.. I do not blame Judge Weinstein for the greed in the world.
Doctors have lost their standing with me, I no longer trust them. I never knew they could look us in the face and be killing us, their patients, who trusted them.
Iam glad it is almost over. All be said and done. Iam no longer mad, just HURT.

Indeed, it does. Look up the Oraflex case some day if you don’t know it. “The dog ate my homework.”

It also killed my mother.

Lilly has a solid history of corruption.

Eli Lilly? Criminal entity, Eli Lilly (hurrah, one may state this factually, now!)?Purveyor of narcotics to the “intelligence” services? Go bankrupt? What a loss that would be.

Eli Lilly sells a drug (Zyprexa) that can cause diabetes and then turn a profit on the drugs that treat the condition that they may have caused in the first place!

Eli Lilly has made $38 billion on Zyprexa and it was way oversold and caused diabetes and in some cases sudden death.
Eli Lilly has received a huge criminal fine over their Zyprexa cash cow,add it all up comes to $4.6 billion, in Zyprexa settlements,fines,litigation.

Did you know that Lilly made $ billions last year on diabetic meds, Actos,Humulin and Byetta?

They sell a drug that can cause diabetes and then turn a profit on the drugs that treat the condition that they may have caused in the first place!

Sounds to me like the judge is punishing Hood for not entering into the settlement with Lilly that the judge pushed so hard for.

It sure will send a message to the few other states that refused to obey and accept a paltry amount.

The line about bankrupting Lilly is the most laughable. How many families have went bankrupt paying for medical bills after being injured by the drug?

How many funerals had to be paid for and how about the lost earning potential of the dead victims.

And how about the part Lilly and other psych drug makers haved played in bankrupting our pubic health care programs over the past 15 years?

Also, what expert told this judge Zyprexa works any better than the old cheap drugs that cost pennies a day?

In any event, we’re talking about “off-label” uses meaning the drug was never proven to work for the indication to begin with.

Finally, what statistics is this judge looking at that shows any improvement in mental illness since Zyprexa came on the market or any lowering of people disabled by mental illness and collecting government checks each month?

There has been no improvement nor reduction of people on SSI rolls.

I don’t have to read the whole hundred and some odd pages to know that tax dollars were wasted in printing this opinion.

How many patients in hospitals were given informed consent of the drug Zyprexa’s side effects before being forced to take it?

How many people, are permanently disabled as a result of the drug?

This man is deranged, corrupt and probably paid off by Lilly.

Does the internal use of Zyprexa in certain hospitals on Medicaid patients mean anything?

I am a person who is bankrupt and the parent of a child who is disabled and whose life was ruined as a teenager when Zyprexa was prescribed off-label, under age 18 in 1999-2006.

Sorry Judge, but you FAIL.

Important Question,… Has anyone asked, as to whether or not, the Federal Judge, has any financial holdings in Eli Lilly, that could have prejudiced his decision? Judges should also disclose any potential biases, he or she may have,…Yes?

whoa! Lilly won a Zyprexa case?

through use of Zyprexa by preventing users with serious mental problems from requiring hospitalization

Mississippi must have a lot of mental illness. But, well, it is the South.

the state’s claims could result in serious harm or bankruptcy for this defendant and the pharmaceutical industry generally

Has anyone seen any sign of pharma about to go belly up? Perhaps he means his investments.

Yet pharmaceutical companies routinely use the legal system to tie up and bankrupt individuals who simply try to obtain justice for harms caused including death.
