January 20th, 2008 · No Comments
Fox News ran a provocative story Thursday slamming Big Pharma for overhyping the benefits — and downplaying the dangers — of anti-depressants such as Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac and Effexor. You can read the transcript here or watch the piece below.
Frankly, it’s surprising to me to see this kind of anti-Big Pharma slant from Fox […]
