Double Bad followed by Double Funny




Will Brown University Investigate Keller?

a couple of excerpts:
"Seems that our other esteemed colleagues at Healthy Skepticism have been after Brown to get the University's help to withdraw the Study 329 claiming that Paxil was safe and effective in children. They argue that the article continues to be cited and can be implicated in suicides in children prescribed Paxil. Brown basically has gone into hiding and has not responded to these overtures."
 
"Thanks to the exposes noted in previous posts on this blog, we know that Dr. Keller received huge sums of money from Pharma; that Study 329 was originally by scientific standards a negative study of Paxil in kids and was spun to make it sound like a positive study when it was published; and that the published version was essentially ghostwritten by a company hack. At least that's what's now on the public record (Dr. Keller routinely refuses to comment), and if Brown knows a different version, it's about time they let us hear it." read it here.

Seroxat is also known as Paxil and Aropax. Blog from Bob Fiddaman. Winner of two human rights awards.

832 Bottles Hanging on the Wall - Paxil/Seroxat comes out on top with the greatest number of suicide attempts


Snippet:

"The distribution of reported suicide attempts per drug was highly positively skewed (Figure 2). That is, 690 out of 832 drugs (83%) had fewer than 10 attempts reported during this 4-year time period, while there was a long tail of drugs with 10 or more suicide attempts. The median number of attempts was 0 attempts per drug, while its SD was 84 (Table 3). On the high end, there were up to 1,323 suicide attempts out of 27,012 AERs (4.9%) for paroxetine."

ALL OF THIS IS TOO SERIOUS TO NOT HAVE A LITTLE LAUGH, SO...
