See I took Atorvastatin and you wouldn't let
the project report that the
Stanford Medical Journal reported that it causes more damage to the heart than
is acceptable. You want us only to report things once the controversy is
over, in other words once 25,000 people have gotten sick from salmonella
eggs... not just a thousand. No wait, actually after all the lawsuits are over
and the people involved are all dead as well.
We should not be using our own judgment in these matters. If the
London Times or BBC report problems with Lipitor, or anything else,
that's a good enough source for us, and we should not be allowing
editors to stop it from being added to our articles.
Yet both these sources can be sensational. The science reporting is
abysmal at times. When they have a science scare I have to turn the BBC
radio4 news off because of the crap reporting. If any one is in the UK
they'll know exactly what I'm taling about.
