Sayeth Ben: “You know, it kind of highlights one of the problems that we have, and that is that the Supreme Court has become a political tool. That wasn’t the intention originally, when things were put together.”
When things were “put together?” WHAT things? Are you referring to the Articles of our Constitution, you fucking moron?
Also sayeth Ben: “I think we need to relook at the whole Supreme Court issue, because it has become completely different than was intended. And we need to be looking at term limits for Supreme Court justices, when we enacted that program the average age of death was 47.”
So when did the Supreme Court become a “program,” Ben? It’s a permanent branch of our government! And are you advocating mandatory death sentences for Supreme Court justices on their 47th birthdays? What the fuck!
It’s time for this pathetic jackass to fall off our radar already. And I still want to know where the hell he gets all this money for his campaign.
Pradaxa first became available in October 2010. Within the first year thousands of patients suffered devastating side effects and hundreds of people died. This included gastrointestinal, rectal and brain bleeding even though the drug was marketed heavily as safe and effective. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals eventually paid a $650 million settlement while cleverly denying any wrongdoing. Because nothing says you’re innocent like a $650 million payout!
As for Xarelto, it was first approved in 2011 as a temporary blood thinner for patients who had knee or hip replacement surgery. Following a fast-track regulatory review, the FDA approved the drug for general treatment of other conditions even though (no shit!) the most severe side effects of Xarelto is uncontrolled internal bleeding. And when uncontrolled bleeding occurs near a major organ — i.e., your brain, lungs or kidneys — blood flow to that organ is interrupted or cut off completely, causing it to STOP FUNCTIONING. Important fact: Death of a major organ is a severe health risk. Duh!
For the record, I’ve had some previous experience with killer meds. When I was first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2008 my internist prescribed a brand new designer drug called Actos with an insane monthly co-pay. I gained close to 100 pounds in six months, suffered severe muscle pain, uncontrollable diarrhea and wheezed so hard when I walked around the house I almost passed out. Bottom line? Actos is off the market (finally!) and the target of a class-action lawsuit for causing HEART FAILURE and BLADDER CANCER.
Here’s something else, guys. Apparently a “popular class” of over-the-counter heartburn meds might raise a senior citizen’s risk of dementia! Called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), these drugs include Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid, and they work by lowering the amount of acid produced by the stomach. However, German researchers have discovered that people 75 or older who take these medications regularly had a 44% increased risk for dementia as compared with seniors not using the drugs at all. THIS COULD BE HUGE.
Thank you for reading this and have a really, really nice life.
