$253 million Vioxx verdict

Post Reply New Topic

I have heard estimates of how many people that have been injured by Vioxx, Celebrex, and Bextra keep going up. If you have heard anything on the news about the Vioxx trials, I would like to talk to you about it, because I keep up to date on lawsuits. Haven't you heard it has been causing skin related problems, heart attack, stroke, and even sudden cardiac death.

The first major case in the Vioxx saga involved a man in the Houston area.

I was medicated at the tender age of 12 with vioxx! Luckily, It didn't have any serious side-effects(as far as I can remember) but I am lucky to stay alive. I was medicated for a knee injury.

People need to realize the world is massively overpopulated we do not need to be developing medical technology (its too risky anyway). We need people to die. And if
extreme pain from arthritis can trigger people to lose the will to live because no
non-narcotic pain meds are available that do not cause gastrointestinal bleeding
thats a good thing. Plus it will avoid lawsuites in the future. Oh and thanks to the
DEA for making it so hard for people in extreme pain to get narcotic pain meds in the
US. If people were getting treatment for their extreme pain they may want to live.
Anyway herbs are all we need to treat illness. Vioxx made me super mad it made millions of people live in less pain and prevented thousands of earily deaths while only
increasing cardiovascular events in a small number of people. Thats just the kinda med that will make over-population and human happiest grow. Anyway my realtive with crippling disfiguring arthritis make funny youtube video material for rich lawyers to watch. Thanks to all my anti-technology aspies brothers and sisters for their support
in this matter with out you no telling how much medical techonlogy may get out of the pipeline.

like to say one thing thats just as bad as taking the vx to want illegal drugs theres a reason they called illegal..

be safer taking the vs

"" would be sarcastic and saying don't worry about death's we have the americans backing us in war ""

Thats what you get with modern tablets they get pushed out - so they can beat other companys and the bad information goes in the back draw so the research is not steped back... Thats why I don't read FDA sites...

TheMachine1, you just made the stupidest post ever! Congratulations!

Not all the world is overpopulated - only some parts are.

I think too much effort is spent on keeping people alive when their quality of life sucks. I don't suggest active euthanasia, but there comes a point when it is cruel to keep people alive if they are in too much pain or they become vegetables.

If an elderly person dies of a heart attack or stroke then that must mean it was their time to go. It is only cruel to rescuscitate them and put heaps of tubes in them just so they might survive a few more weeks or months. That is probably why DNR is getting popular - "Do Not Rescuscitate". However, the person's wishes in this matter can still be ignored.

There comes a time when it is better just to keep the person comfortable (palliative care) and let nature take its course rather than using heroic methods to save them for a life of pain and suffering.

How can I detect the sarcasm when you write it in a completely serious manner? There was nothing in that post indicating sarcasm, and even NTs would misunderstand that. It's not very nice to bring up my posts to ridicule me either.

I thought the :/ , Be nice if they add a sarcastic face Emoticon or even so use this in the "view more Emoticons

I used to take Vioxx and still would if it wasn't banned.
