Someone like Fox New’s Tucker Carlson would never survive on Australasian mainstream media, however popular. He recently took aim at Big Pharma, and gave them a volley, in the context of the mass shooting/gun debate. SSRI meds have been implicated in almost all of the mass shootings, done by mentally ill and socially isolated young men. “A lot of young men in America are going nuts. Are you surprised? And by the way, a shockingly large number of them have been prescribed psychotropic drugs by their doctors, SSRI or antidepressants and that would include quite a few mass shooters and keep in mind, again, these drugs are meant to prevent crazy behavior and yet there seems to be a connection,” Carlson said. “This seems like a massive and extremely obvious problem, extremely obvious. People aren’t themselves. They’re taking drugs that appear to be causing the behavior that drugs are designed to prevent,” Carlson noted. “Why don’t they talk about this on TV? Oh, let’s see. In 2020, the pharmaceutical industry spent more than $4.5 billion advertising on national television in this country. Now, how much is that? Well, to put it in some context, Pfizer spent more on advertising in 2020 than it did on research and development.”
This all seems to be a self-supporting system, much like attempting to put out a bushfire with petrol, and getting handsome profits for it, thank you very much!
