Report: Pfizer ‘Hid Link’ Between Anti-Depressants and Birth Defects
Something we've been reporting on for years
Pharmaceutical mammoth Pfizer faces more than 1,000 lawsuits from
victims who say that the company knew about the relationship between
birth defects and their #1 best-selling anti-depressant. A claim that
Pfizer has, of course, battled against.
Now, however, new reports have surfaced that Pfizer’s own scientific advisers were warning of the deadly link for more than a year. Something that my team told you in 2012 was already going on. According to Bloomberg:
“A Pfizer Inc. report shows a scientist warned executives
last year about a potential link between the anti-depressant drug
Zoloft and birth defects and recommended changes to the medication’s
safety warning.
The document from a Pfizer drug-safety official might complicate the
company’s efforts to fend off lawsuits brought by parents of children
with malformed hearts. Pfizer has consistently rejected suggestions
Zoloft caused newborn abnormalities and said Monday the document was
taken out of context by lawyers suing the company.”
