Purdue was not held accountable?We have a great healthcare system, but there are two major flaws as I see it, which both come back to money.
- It’s costly to continue to do post marketing studies after a drug is approved, but we have found in numerous occasions that many of these drugs do provide harm much later when adverse reactions are reported and more data is analyzed. Thalidomide is the most glaring example. We really need to focus energy on why we are unhealthy and make those changes.
- The food and the drug lobby is incredibly powerful. We are the only country other than New Zealand that allows DTC advertising. Think about how bizarre this is. Marketing drugs to the public to make it easier for their physicians to prescribe them. And what’s worse, we know that the FDA was complicit with Purdue Frederick and the opioid crisis. Amazing though, and no one was ever held accountable.
This is steep hill to climb, but think back to how the tobacco industry has changed through education and regulations.
Did you guys read the article? It’s behind a pay wall. Maybe read that first before assuming it’s a negative take down.
I do not know of one dermatologist that says its fine to be out in the sun without skin protection
I do not know of one cardiologist that says inactivity, alcohol, smoking and a high saturated fat diet is good for your heart
I do not know one endocrinologist that claims a high content sugar diet is good for your body
Going about it the same way we did the last 50+ years is not the answer, it's actually the definition of insanity.This is steep hill to climb, but think back to how the tobacco industry has changed through education and regulations.
I think we have to make some radical changes in health. People with backgrounds in health have been leading us down the wrong path constantly. It seems we are continuously reactionary as opposed proactive. We look to solve symptoms and not prevent the problem. Most likely these experts are put in those positions to advance the money of big food and big pharma. Not for nothing doctors take less than 20 hours of nutrition over 4 years of school. It's not like they're much greater experts than anyone else.
We have a great healthcare system, but there are two major flaws as I see it, which both come back to money.You're the pro system guy. You like fluoride in water because that's what the system has said for years. Doctors push drugs/vaccines because that's what the system wants and that's the system big pharma and big food have created. You probably love it.
And nobody over decades has done the right thing for the American people and said the system isn't just broken, it's F'd up. It takes balls to stand up to these systems with so much money and power. We watch commercials with disclaimers of thoughts of suicide, diabetes, possible stroke or heart attack, etc and we act like that's normal.
Sha is an outlier to how college basketball has evolved. It helps him in many ways as often opponents aren't prepared for playing his style. Slowing pace, very physical, attacking the paint, crashing the offensive boards is his offensive strategy. But it limits his offensive potential and can be a very grinding existence for his players.Holloway has always been a good defensive coach but he hasn't really shined on offense.
