“THOUSANDS OF PREMATURE DEATHS” article
Reuters can’t say psychiatrists are killing their slaves to help them,” premature deaths”.
The War in Iraq had 23 premature deaths today…
“Despite this, an analysis of 10 years’ records for 67,000 patients in Finland found that, compared with treatment with the first-generation drug perphenazine, the risk of early death for patients on clozapine was reduced by 26 percent.”
10 years, and Not longer, when the true Premature mortality figures would show as rocketing into the Stratosphere.
The only good to come of this study is its keeping the spotlight trained on how Destructive the other drugs are. It’s going to be interesting (yawn) to find out who got money from Novartis on this one.
