Looking beyond the spin of Big Pharma PR. But encouraging gossip. Come in and confide, you know you want to! “I’ll publish right or wrong. Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.”

GSK - Cervarix: our thoughts today are with the family of Natalie Morton
3 comments:
"The MHRA said on September 23 that the balance of risks and benefits of Cervarix remains positive."
Cervarix "may" save up to 700 deaths from cervical cancer a year...
...and so far has caused 400 cases of anaphylactic shock in the same patient population.
I guess that's still a positive.
I'm also guessing that GSK doesn't tell its customers that they are only four times less likely to die from the cure as they are the disease.
What is the purpose of having a mass vaccination campaign for a condition that has a relatively low (and falling) mortality rate...
...unless the prime purpose of Cervarix is really to make lots of money for GSK?
Anyone for Gardasil?

maybe next time wait for the facts before hurling accusations
And what accusations would those be?
