Whenever you see a commercial for any type of medication, there is a legal requirement to include warnings about possible side effects, allergic reactions, warnings for those with certain medical conditions, etc. The Republicans should introduce a bill calling for these same disclosures to be made during the commercials urging everyone to get the Covid vaccine.

It’s cya for when the truth comes out.

Seems every drug advertised on tv gets sued within 3 years.

These are the approved drugs, not the experimental ones.

“Hospitals actively discourage reporting”

Here’s one personal story regarding side effects that may not be evident for years:

My mother was on Macrobid (nitrofurantoin) for years for Urinary Tract Infections (UTI). Background data….she had been a smoker all her adult life (40+ years) but quit in 1999.

When she was in her 70’s she suddenly had a hard time breathing. Ended up in a hospital after a bronchial-scope resulted in puncturing her lung….the same doctor then said it could be TB so she was quarantined for 3 days until she tested negative several times….she never tested positive.. I stayed with her in quarantine because the nurses didn’t want to come in the room.
Finally took her to a big city/university med center where they diagnosed her with a severe pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of the lungs)…a side effect of Macrobid they said. She was finally taken off the macrobid….did rehab to get off of oxygen (had to carry oxygen where ever she went…had oxygen setup in the house, etc) but the effects eventually overtook her and she passed away earlier than she should have.

Have you ever watched someone struggle to breathe? Who can’t catch their breath and the panicked look in their eyes? It is hard to watch….all i have to say is thank God for hospice and morphine. She was able to be lucid and calm during her last months of her life by treading that fine line between taking the edge off of her condition versus knocking her out to sleep the last of her days.

I will always be grateful that I had that time with her.

Side effects can have terrible long term consequences…..be sure to understand what potential these meds have especially if you are on them for a long time or they are newer meds.

Pharma execs get a job with the FDA then rotate back into their old jobs. It is about money and not saving lives.

Yep, and this is for drugs that actually HAVE gone through the standard, years-long, long term clinical safety trials. NONE of the “vaccines” are going through those trials.

So it’s a simple inference that we’ll probably discover more long-term effects from these drugs than we usually do, since any effects that we might have discovered during the safety trials will remain unknown, and we will just have to discover them the hard way.

Yes, you MUST take experimental untested drugs, but you MAY NOT take approved drugs we have decades of reliable data on.

Another personal story:

My husband has rheumatoid arthritis and has taken methotrexate for many years.

This past year he was diagnosed with lung fibrosis.....caused by the methotrexate.

Ah good point. It wasn’t heresy yet.
