If Drugs From Canada Are So Dangerous, Where Are All the Dead
Canadians?
Amid all of the frantic warnings from the FDA that prescription drugs
from Canada are somehow dangerous, a question arises: where are all the
dead and injured Canadians? If drugs are somehow more dangerous in Canada,
shouldn't the FDA be able to produce endless examples of people who have
actually been harmed or killed by these medications? In fact, no such
evidence exists. The FDA's Director of Pharmacy Affairs, Tom McGinnis,
says, "I can't think of one thing off the top of my head where somebody
died or somebody got put in the hospital because of these medications.
I just don't know if there's anything like that."
Let's drop the charade here for a moment. The real reason the FDA is
using FUD and spreading fear about drugs from Canada is, of course, to
protect the financial interests of the U.S. pharmaceutical industry.
The FDA has long established itself as being a promoter of the financial
interests of Big Pharma rather than a regulator of it. And now, even
as the FDA is spreading disinformation about the supposed danger of prescription
drugs from Canada, it can't document or demonstrate even a single case
of a person who has been harmed by such drugs.
Meanwhile, people are harmed, injured and even killed with alarming
frequency right here in the United States from errors committed by U.S.
pharmacies. In fact, there was a recent settlement from Walgreen's, where
the Walgreen's pharmacy had given the wrong drugs to an individual who
later died from the prescription. The person's family sued and won a
settlement from Walgreen's for that case.
There are many examples in the United States of pharmacies giving patients
the wrong prescription drugs at the wrong dose or with incorrect information.
It doesn't mean such mistakes can't happen from a pharmacy in Canada,
but those risks are the same in Canada as they are in the United States.
In fact, a report by the Congressional Research Service says that drugs
from Canada are perfectly safe. They insist that quality control guidelines
set by the FDA are met or even exceeded by pharmacies from Canada. So
the whole argument that drugs from Canada are somehow dangerous is, of
course, bogus. It has been invented and marketed to the press in order
to scare Americans away from buying prescription drugs at lower prices
that would deplete the profits of U.S. pharmaceutical companies.
Make no mistake -- the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry in this country
want to have monopoly control over the prescription drug market in this
country. They want to force all consumers to buy drugs from sources they
control, at sky-high prices that they set, and to limit the free market
options of American consumers. In other words, the FDA and Big Pharma
both stand in opposition to the free market principles upon which the
United States of America was founded. That's why the U.S. drug industry
is often referred to as a drug racket, or the drug cartel. Those are
accurate descriptions given the behavior and stance of the FDA and U.S.
drug companies.
In an even bigger picture way, all of this is a moot point anyway, because
even the correct prescription drugs turn out to be extremely harmful
to human health. There are no people who have been made healthier by
taking multiple prescription drugs for a lifetime. As I've written in
another article published on this site, if prescription drugs make people
healthy, why can't the pharmaceutical industry produce thousands and
thousands of healthy individuals who are multiple prescription drugs?
These people simply don't exist, because people who are on multiple prescriptions
are in fact suffering from the ravaging side effects of those prescription
drugs and their health is declining, not improving. In fact, the healthiest
people in this country and around the world are people who avoid prescription
drugs and take control of their own health outcome by avoiding prescriptions
and relying on physical exercise, outstanding nutrition, and positive
lifestyle changes to improve their health. |
