Here's a story that didn't get much play from the Truth-Telling Regime media: Glaxo-Smith Klein hid the cancer risk of its best-selling anti-heartburn drug Zantac for forty years.
This story is actually from mid-February. Did any of you hear about this?
GSK (GSK) American Depository Shares lost ~2% pre-market Wednesday after a new report from Bloomberg Businessweek claimed that the British drugmaker chose to keep quiet on the cancer risks of the recalled heartburn medication Zantac.
Zantac, also known as ranitidine, was pulled from the U.S. market in 2020 amid concerns over the unacceptable levels of potential human carcinogen, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).
Since then, the makers of Zantac generics, including Sanofi (SNY) (OTCPK:SNYNF), GSK (GSK), Pfizer (PFE), and Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, have faced thousands of lawsuits for failure to adequately warn health risks of the antacid.
Citing court filings, studies, FDA transcripts, and new drug applications obtained through the Freedom of Information Act requests, Bloomberg said that the FDA considered the cancer risks when greenlighting the medication, but GSK (GSK) withheld key study data.
Even worse, the company, then known as GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), supported flawed studies to minimize the concerns and opted against using methods such as routine transport and storage that would have lessened the impact.
In one instance, ahead of pursuing approval for an injectable version of ranitidine, John Padfield, the head of pharmaceutical development of GSK (GSK), warned in 1982 that this version of the drug had to be kept chilled from importation to the warehouse storage.
Not doing so would be "a very dangerous thing," Padfield argued in March and the company executives wrote several months later that "refrigeration of the injection would not be acceptable to Glaxo marketing."
I used to take Zantac. My go-to antacid now is Apple Cider Vinegar pills. Yes, the key to acid in the stomach is more acid. I think most heartburn is due to inadequate acid production, which lets food sit in the stomach for too long. It takes about a half hour to work.
Via David Strom, the UK Telegraph reports than a Wales government-promoted education resource tells teachers and school administrators that children as young as seven might be a "mixed berry gender fluid muffin," and not to assume any child's gender just based on how they look, dress, or speak, or base assumptions on their gender about what their gender actually F*CKING IS.
Children as young as seven might be a "mixed berry gender fluid muffin", teachers have been told in a sex education resource promoted by the Welsh Government.
The 170-page "Agenda" pamphlet, which has been promoted to all schools in Labour-run Wales, claims that biological sex "is not just 'male' and 'female'" and lectures teachers on how some "want to change our gender pronouns (eg. from he to she) or want to be 'agender'", where they have no gender.
It has been described as the latest "highly inappropriate" example of sex and relationships education in Britain's schools to emerge, with critics claiming the Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford is "determined to push gender ideology".
An investigation by The Telegraph found last week that pupils in some secondary schools have been told there are 100 genders and children are being taught gender fluidity as fact in some major academy trusts and independent schools, which led to Rishi Sunak ordering an urgent review this week.
