First they try to scare one into believing that even normal conditions, such as having hair are deadly, then they try to convince one that the possibility of death is only a minor side effects among the 78 others on the list. Then to ease the pain, they offer Oxycontin or an opioid for pain that you never had.
The makers of oxycontin, after helping to kick start a serious addiction crisis are now set to profit from a drug to treat opiate withdrawal. Only in (Republican and corporate whore Democrat) America.
The fundamental rule of analysis is always to ask “Compared to what?”. DDT is banned in the US because of its harmful side effects. But it’s widely used in Africa, where the alternative is malaria.
Direct marketing of pharmaceuticals… another side effect of insufficiently restrained capitalism. Good thing most of the developed world noticed and made it illegal.

Must weigh up the side effects of the drugs against their affects on the problem being treated.

What a wonderful thing is business
In all its permutation
Much money is spent attempting to
Avoid all regulation.
Then they lie to scare you
Until you get to where you
Will die from agitation
