Pharmaceuticals: Just Say No

Vioxx, Celebrex, Aleve, etc...how many times must this shit happen before we wake up? Pharmaceuticals are a disaster. Every day, 80 percent of Americans take a prescription drug. From 1962 to 1988, street drug addiction in America increased by 30 percent while prescription drug addiction increased by 300 percent. In most cases, these drugs are improperly tested and based on fraudulent science.

According to the U.S. General Accounting Office, of all the new drugs put on the market between 1976 and 1985, 52 percent had to be either pulled from the shelves or relabeled because they proved to be more hazardous than studies had indicated.

Vaccines do more harm than good. Animal experimentation is a scientific sham. Pills will not cure our ills.



Here’s an old piece I wrote on our health (sic) care system:
