RE: Boy With 46 DD BREASTS that Sued Johnson & Johnson & WON!
So many terrible things about this situation. I'll start with the positive though -- at least the victims won the lawsuit of $2.5 million. If this had been a vaccine killing or maiming, they would not have even allowed to sue.
It's despicable that this drug was marketed to children, when it was clearly known to be unsafe for them. But Pharmaceutical companies do that all the time, don't they?
Thirdly, an autistic child should have never been treated with any type of anti-pyschotic drug, as that is not helpful in treating them,and only harmful. Clearly specialists have no idea how to help autistic people. I have heard stories over and over from families that finally stopped all the medical drugs prescribed for autism and went 100% to alternative medicine, because their child was getting worse on the drugs and usually had improvement on more natural methods.
You have raised some very good points.
I agree, this family was 'lucky' (financially) in winning a $2.5M lawsuit however the waiting line (in the US) alone is well over 5,000 families (and they are only the ones with the means and desire to stand up to Big Pharma) and each of these cases takes many years to settle or reach court. Those that finally reach the courts are buried by Big Pharma lawyers and few families that can make it this far (financially, mentally and physically). Big Pharma knows that few families are able to sustain a protracted lawsuit against the Big Pharma Legal Army.
I have friends who's children have been damaged by vaccines that refuse to begin legal proceedings or speak up - that is (just) one reason why I am speaking up. I want to give them courage and I want to do whatever I can to spread this message and stop others having to go through these same experiences.
Risperdal was developed as an anti-psychotic medication - it is marketed to children and the elderly - for profit!
Think about this - mental disorders cannot be scientifically proven e.g. via a blood test, MRI or CAT scan. These 'illnesses' are diagnosed at the sole discretion of doctors and every doctors medical license is at the sole discretion of the Medical Associations and the MA's are bought and paid servants for Big Pharma - its a vicious cycle.
It is no coincidence that mental health issues are on the rise (look at the evidence). The media and Gov't does all that they can to split and divide societies and families and anyone that questions' the system, doesn't fit in, or has a few challenges in life has suddenly become a mental health patient and a prime candidate for Big Pharma meds.
It's a vicious cycle that must be stopped!
That's horrible how hard it is to successfully sue. Thanks for explaining.
Yes, so many things are just called mental health problems just because they don't want to or can't figure out what is physically wrong. I have heard sad tales of people damaged from HPV Vaccine or other vaccines, and the doctors say that they are just faking their systems and need mental health or that the parents aren't parenting properly. It's pathetic.
