It has been discussed in a national forum like the Wall Street Journal. It has been discussed on more than thirty websites. It has been mentioned in newspapers across the country. This makes me believe that it is news.
The news - - and it's actually old news - - is that Bristol Myers Squibb knowingly marketed Abilify for young children before it was approved by the FDA. For that, they paid the United States government $515 million. The fact is that Sonia Choi, the spokeswoman for BMS, denies knowing that akathasia is a side effect of Abilify.
And honestly, the video is important because it brings the subject of pharmaceutical companies and side effects into the mainstream - - not just on this website but on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.
And this issue will blow up in the coming weeks and months.
Again, it's time for big pharma to see this as a wake up call.
Is there something so wrong with bringing this issue out into the open in a forum like youtube?

I wouldn't have produced this video if I hadn't thought it was an important issue.
And there are plenty of other videos on the interent on the same subject.
