FDA Corruption Exposed in 2004 Testimony on Vioxx Harms

Dr David Graham, a drug safety expert, outlined the FDA corruption racket in relation to the drug Vioxx, which killed and maimed many thousands, in 2004.

From A Midwestern Doctor:

Immediately after Vioxx killed 120,000 Americans, Merck copied that playbook and with the FDA's help dismissed numerous red flags pushed a rushed HPV vaccine onto the market. A tsunami of injuries followed but like COVID-19, the government covered them up.

It costs over a billion to bring a drug to market and corruption has infested our regulatory apparatus. For example:
•46% of the FDA's budget is paid by the pharmaceutical industry.
•Most regulators are paid by off by drug makers.

Much of this came from Fauci transforming the Federal government into a pharmaceutical production pipeline where we fund the creation of drugs, and then both our scientists and agencies get a cut of each (often very dangerous) drug that comes to market.

When Graham testified, there was significant controversy over the SSRI antidepressants as they had been linked to violent psychotic behavior (e.g., suicides and grisly murders) but the FDA had dismissed the deluge of reports and gagged their own scientist.

With the COVID vaccine, we saw a repeat of what happened throughout the Vioxx and Gardasil saga (plus many others). Clear evidence emerged the trials were doctored, and the drug was causing massive harm, but the FDA did all it could to defend the drug.

The parallels between Vioxx and now are truly remarkable. For those who wish to learn more about the Vioxx scandal (and the dangers of the common painkillers like the other NSAIDs), I broke it down here.

What's so tragic about this is that we don't even need the toxic drugs (eg. safe drugs like ivermectin would have ended COVID-19). Yet to protect business, the FDA buries them. Here I show how DMSO is a forgotten miracle for everything NSAIDs "treat."
