POPS39,870 That's the total number of jobs cut by pharmaceutical companies this year, according to Ed Silverman of Pharmalot. If Ed's count is right, that's a stunning total. At the beginning of 2006, Challenger, Gray & Christmas estimated pharma job cuts had hit 70,000 over three years. And that was more job cuts than in the previous decade.

POPSWHO on additives to Flu Vaccine Are squalene-containing vaccines safe? * Over 22 million doses of squalene-containing flu vaccine have been administered. The absence of significant vaccine-related adverse events following this number of doses suggests that squalene in vaccines has no significant risk. This vaccine has been given primarily to older age groups. * As this vaccine and new squalene-containing vaccines are introduced in other age groups, post-marketing follow-up to detect any vaccine-related adverse events will need to be performed.

POPSFDA rejecting more drugs There are 2 sides here. First I can see that the FDA would want to protect their image, and the drug companies avoid lawsuits (which we just end up paying when they raise drug prices). Second -- I can see terminally ill people desperate to try anything. I don't believe that the courts should deny the dying as long as they stipulate an understanding of the nature of experimental drugs. People need to stop being so ready to "sue". I used the drug remicade (it was not experimental, the potential side effects were documented). I happened to be in the small percentage of people who could not tolerate it; I developed diabetes & some other side effects. That's just the way it was - I choose to take it, knew possible side effects - have to deal with it now. I am not joining any groups that are suing....would that give me my health back????
