Yes, we've been aware of this result of anti-depressants. The lengthy list of violence in this article is way more than what has been publicized. It's criminal negligence for these drugs to be on the market at all. Going back to the Covid vaccines, the landscape of deaths and injuries they caused is a wake up call that big pharma is not to be trusted, is not our friend, and investigations should commence right now. The truth is they went way too far this time with unsafe drugs.

"...a wake up call that big pharma is not to be trusted, is not our friend, and investigations should commence right now..."

All of that is true. What most folks have not yet realized is that investigations have been done and punishments imposed, but still the damage they do keeps snowballing.

I have posted this ( Do We Need a Census of Worthless Drugs? by John Lear

The Saturday Review, May 7, 1960, pp. 53-57 https://www.unz.com/print/SaturdayRev-1960may07-00053/Contents/) previously and do not mean to spam, but I urge everyone to read that brief article from `60 years ago. The point is that society has yet to find an effective cure for the crimes committed and for now people must learn to question authority, to stand up for themselves, and to spread the word.

"Authority" should never be handed either a blank check or a tabula rasa. I used that term because "tabula" is related to "table" and the word for "bank" in Greek is "trapezi" which is also the word for "table." A while back someone ran around with a switch upsetting tables full of money and there may be some good reasons for his behavior and some lessons there, I think.

However, none of us should think that such behavior will be either a panacea or permanent.

Unfortunately I can't read the article with that fine print. But I agree we need a census of worthless drugs. But even with all the worthless drugs and the deaths they cause, here and there are excellent drugs like Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, Fenbendazole. The issue is to weed out the worthless and deadly drugs from the good ones.

The link should have an icon that you can click on to enlarge the print. All of Lear's articles are as fascinating as can be. The issues he raised 60 years ago are even worse today.

I agree with the points you made.

We need a physician for our society!

The icon you wnat is just to the left of the print button (icon). It is a square with arrows inside pointing to all 4 corners of the sqaure.

Clik that and you get to a PDF file which you can enlarge with the plus (+) symbol. It's a short but revealing article. Please pass it on and thanks! Lear also wrote several other articles that are very relevant to today.
