From the article:

The makers of Prozac had to run five trials to obtain two that were positive, and the makers of Paxil and Zoloft had to run even more.

In other words, in three out of five Prozac trials the placebo was either equal to or more "effective" than Prozac.

And that drug "passed" easier than the others. this is how this junk gets licensed.

What about the other 1000 odd studies that were performed on Prozac?
