I've just started looking and already I've found a $617+k grant to UCSF from one of the three Pfizer listings.

Every time hubbs and I go to the doc's ofc., we see pharma reps wearing suits and toting a wheeled tote bag full of samples.....I call them "drug pushers". Also, lots of TV ads lately for Chantix.....the last half of ad covers all the "bad" things that you can experience.

That's because it's black box labeled: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/833402

So that explains their anti-vaping fanaticism? They're on the take.

Yes it is a "black box" medication, Endor, which can do some serious damage to your system if you're unlucky; AND since the class action suit against the pharma co. (forget which one who makes it) was settled last yr, the co. has been trying very hard not to have that black box notification.

Yes. Yes it was.

Serious is a little easier to to take when amusing.
