Yesterday was a good day for Google and Twitter users. It was a good day for science. And it was a good day for the Internet. Why?

The reality of this shift is clearly evidenced by this news last week from Ontario. After years of obvious problems, Hydro One finally admitted that rural ‘smart’ meters do not work, and has decided to pull the plug on 36,000 of them — to start.

“against this background con-
sider the following: a recent review of studies submitted to the FDA as part of
license applications for five antidepressants licensed in the 1990s, two SSRIs (ser-
traline and paroxetine), two agents with other actions on the serotonin system
(nefazodone and mirtazapine), and buproprion (Khan,Warner, and Brown 2000)
produced figures of 27 suicides and 90 suicide attempts on new antidepressants
from 12,897 patients, compared to two suicides and 14 suicide attempts in 3,079
patients randomized to placebo. In fact the two suicides apparently on placebo,
as well as five suicide attempts, occurred during the withdrawal phase from other
treatments rather than while on placebo, leaving no suicides on placebo and nine
suicide attempts (Brecher 1991; Lee 1990/91). These revised figures give a sta-
tistically significant increase in suicides and suicide attempts on active agents
compared to placebo. These figures also contain a statistically significant excess
of suicides on paroxetine compared to placebo.” Continue reading Simply dying to have known….Conflicting Interests in Toronto
