"The Texas Supreme Court has given Big Pharma a license to defraud Texas
patients. In a unanimous ruling that ignores the decision of a local
jury and overturns a lower appellate court, the Supreme Court ruled that
big drug companies have no responsibility to directly warn patients
about the dangers of powerful pharmaceuticals. With doctors and nursing
homes already shielded from accountability, this decision completes the
medical industry trifecta of immunity by adding drug makers to the list.
The decision is not surprisingly being hailed by pharmaceutical
conglomerates, medical industry lobbyists, and other special interests."
