I wish to God in Heaven that he’d of given the Dept of Justice Officials /(U.S Attorney Eric Holder ex Pfizer employee yourself) !!!!the same brain I have,because for the love of me, If I went out and held a gun to someone’s head and told them that the bullet in it would not hurt them and they believed me and trusted me to pull the trigger and I did,
and then they obvisiouly died,I would be stripped of the Gun,be put on trial for Murder in the first degree….
It’s just like them IDIOTS in congress that had MR.Toyoda sitting right there and did not order every single Toyota off the hiways of America Right NOW! we are all sitting ducks,I swear if I get hit by one of them runaway toyota’s I’ll sue the pants off my own Congressman and the U.S. Government for allowing another toyota to even be sold…and still on the road !!!!
So why in God’s blessed name, would I want Mr. Pfizer(greedy coorporate fool) to still be selling any Perscription drug anywhere on this planet I do not,and would not allow it !!
And I’d put him in jail and on the same dam dose I was on ,attempted murder is attempted murder.And the folks whom did kill themselves on this product,their blood is on your greedy ass name too!!!
The U.S. Department of Justice needs to have some family members be former victims of Pfizer,then maybe they would grow some balls and prosecute and put them in jail,stop making plea deals,meanwhile, I’ll loan you mine !!!!

I find it odd that Pfizer agrees to pay the money, and it has been 7 years and no check in the mail. And I may as well written this of TP and flushed it

Having been forcibly medicated with Geodon, my mind is broken and body convulses every now and then when it didn’t before. To my friends at Pfizer: Thanks, keep up the good work! There is no settlement that will still my rage. It’s all I think about. It’s what I dream about. Geodon is a horrible debilitating drug. I could die from old age or from one of their medications in a nursing home or… Someone should do something about these creatures living off the misery and death of others. They tried to kill me, you think I want money?

16, June 08 awoke 7AM with severe pain Rt. hand for no reason, no injury of any type. Age 64, owner/president of one man pest control Co. working very lightly at abt. 4 days a mo. Finally went to se my family Dr. Anke Robinson 19020 Fort St. Riverview, MI 48192 & she gave me samples of Bextra for the pain/swelling to take one pill a day. Pain & swelling continued so went to see Dr. State an associate of Dr. Robinson. Dr. State told me to take two pills a day. Pain & swelling continued & went to see Dr. Robinson due to waking uo July 8th 03 with swollen face, tongue swollen with rash & hard to swallow, severe rash over my whole body & in my eyes that iitched like poison ivy. Saw Dr. Robinson the next day & told her what Dr. State told me to increase the dose to two a day & she said “Oh shit, he knows better than that”. All this time sleeping was near impossible because of the constant itching. Dr. Robinson had me quit taking the Bextra and gave me a new Rx. But the pain & swelling, headache, itching continued even the rash increased into my anus. I was totally miserable. This same day the rash entered my mouth and was hard to eat anything but soft foods. This continued daily till july 25, 03 when I noticed the itching lesening a bit. This condition continued til I noticed my tongue sewlling lessening on August 1ts, 03, but now the rash was starting to turn into bloches & still itching. This condition lasted till September 16th 03.

So if Jane and John Q Public can find out that these drugs are NOT to be used how they were being marketed, WHY aren’t the doctors looking at it before they prescribe them. Slap their hands too, for poor medical practices. And punish them too so that the kickbacks become a thing of the past. I just removed my mother from a nursing home in N.M. that had her on GEODON which is posted on every web site NOT to be used for seniors over 65 or with dementia, both of which she is. And this was just one of 14 drugs, none of which should have been mixed. Displayed every side effect listed, and the doctors just kept adding more drugs.
Now I’m being told “what are the damages?” because she’s still alive.

Does anyone else find it ridiculous that the consequences to the company after their first and third strike are the same???? It seems that these “corporate integrity settlements” and “agreement” aren’t worth much. Perhaps the government could take a more stern approach with “the world’s largest drug company” that treats our health as an irrelevant and inconvenient obstacle in its grand scheme of money-making. What is $2Bil to them, when they already made hundreds?
