You know things are bad when Washington politicians are implying you are lazy good for nothings and do your job for you. I don't think I can ever recall when a Senate committee actually hired its own researchers to answer a medical/drug safety question. Their conclusion, Avandia has caused 83,000 heart attacks! Actos, meanwhile is equally efficacious and does not have the associated cardiac toxicity concerns. Avandia needs to be pulled from the market post-haste.

Nice to find out AFTER the damage has been done. Yet ANOTHER great reason why you should NOT get an H1N1 flu shot. Why trust their frankendrugs?
