Disgusting mob-like behavior. What an industry. So corrupt. In a just world, these companies would be absolutely destroyed over such behavior, instead of a fine that is 1% of the profits they made which is just "the cost of doing business"

It's more widespread than just Vioxx, none of the cox-2 inhibitors ended up being more effective than first gen NSAIDs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COX-2_inhibitor#Research for some more info on the fraud. Only celebrix is still allowed in the US.

the world is a crazy place today. when i went through my transition, it was such a hassle, i had to bring my parents with me and i was required to go to counseling. an entire drag.

now i identify as someone who has no identity, someone who is "nonbinary". this provides for me a lot of unexpected freedoms. i can be intimate with almost anyone, if i want to, and not if if i dont want to.

i am cut down to taking three hormone injections per week!

i hope to have pictures soon, my therapist says that i need to network with others and more frequently.

hello! my name is pat.
