Too Little , Too Late - Texas Lawsuit Claims AstraZeneca Pushed Seroquel Antipsychotic to Kids

 

Bloomberg News reports Texas and AstraZeneca are near a settlement in AZ's purposeful marketing of Anti-psychotic Seroquel to kids for profit as part of the state’s Medicaid program. Of course this is an example of AZ paying off another government entity with chump change and no admission of guilt; while the real child victims of these unconscionable crimes receive absolutely nothing for the damage done, the suffering endured, and their lives ruined.

I call it "Political Theater" where a State Government portrays themselves as some kind of White Hat Wearing Cowboy Sheriff's lassoing up bad guy pharmaceutical bandits; when in fact the Town (child victims) has already been abandoned long ago.  Who's fooling who here? Government isn't interested in the damage done to these kids...they just want to refill their own Medicaid money coffers.

Lawsuit accuses AstraZeneca and others of indirectly funding terrorists who killed US soldiers

 Fox News big-pharma-funded-anti-us-militia-in-iraq  Financial Times https://www.ft.com/content/d5c1b734-b353-11e7-a398-73d59db9e399?mhq5j=e7 and The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/17/us/johnson-ge-pfizer-terror-iraq.html report that Big Pharma funded anti-US militia in Iraq, US veterans allege in lawsuit

U.S. and European drug companies indirectly yet knowingly funded Iran-backed Iraqi militias that carried out attacks against U.S. troops, veterans of the Iraq War alleged in a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

The lawsuit alleges that five drug companies won contracts with the Iraqi government during the 2003 peak of the war with knowledge that free drugs and medical devices would end up in the hands of a Shiite militia.

That militia would then sell the drugs and devices to the black market to fund its operations against the U.S., the New York Times reported.
Named in the lawsuit are U.S. firms General Electric, Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer and European drugmakers AstraZeneca and Roche Holding A.G.
The companies won contracts with the Iraqi Ministry of Health that at the time was controlled by the leader of the Mahdi Army, a group known for attacking U.S. troops and working closely with Lebanese paramilitary group Hezbollah, which the U.S. has designated a terrorist group, the Times reported.
The group was known as the “Pill Army,” according to the Financial Times, as some of the fighters were known to have been paid in drugs rather than cash.
