Is America’s Brain… Dead?

This isn’t a helpful article about anything, except the audacious, mind boggling honesty of the drug makers now.

I watched a commercial tonight, September 30th, 2008 for Chantix. It’s a drug that claims a 44% success rate of helping a smoker quit. This commercial spent 20% of time telling us how it helps a person quit smoking and 80% of the remaining time listing the side effects….

They clearly tell you it may cause suicide, thoughts of suicide and other very disturbing possibilities.

Is this a new honesty from the drug companies or are they so confident that people don’t care enough about serious side effects anymore, that they know enough people will still buy their poison in an attempt to gain the goal of the supposed purpose of the drug.

I don’t know, but I was stunned by the thought of any product ever being so blatant about the facts of danger to an individual. It’s like saying, “I dare you to take this.” Arrogant disregard for failure…

Have we become so desperate, so stupid, so blind, that we will still buy a drug on the outside chance it will help us stop one addiction and risk our lives to do it?

If you haven’t seen it yet… keep watching, especially on the network nightly news.
