I remember what the jury foreman said after the Vioxx trial, that the jury understood the defense's arguments no better than, "Mwa, mwa, mwa", like how the adults sound in a Charlie Brown cartoon. And then they voted to convict anyway. Very scary. -- Tegger

The entire company was run into bankruptcy for a decade as the result of nothing more than incorrect speculation not backed up by scientific research.

Sounds like you like speculating without the benefit of any scientific research or facts. There has been little scientific research that shows the implants are harmless. And that was why Dow eventually lost lawsuits. They lied - claiming they had done the research that showed it was safe when they hadn't. -jim

Numerous studies arouhnd the world have show Silicone breast implants were not responsible for the problems claimed. |
