Once again we're back to the standard Corporate line
from Lilly.The argument seems to be that even thou she was in a healthy volunteer study, she had a history of depression, and that being the case, its obvious
that our wonderful pill wasn't the cause of her suicide.Well, in order to believe that, you have to believe that Lilly's clinical investigators are so incompetent as to mislabel a 'sick' person as healthy for the purposes of the trial. Or that they use extreme shoddy screening procedures. Or both for that matter.
I question whether they should even be conducting
clinical trials at all if they are that incompitent.So you have two options:
1. she really was NOT a healthy volunteer, and Eli
Lilly's crack scientists just happened to miss that. Wow, I'm sure impressed with their scientific prowess2. she really WAS a healthy volunteer, and Cymbalta was the cause
and just for fun I'll add option 3.
3. the Easter Bunny made her do it.
