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

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.
