> "The short attachments to this paper contain deposition transcript excerpts and a couple of exhibits from a public domain deposition of Eli Lilly's Dr. Charles Beasley. Dr. Beasley was, for several years, Lilly's "point man" on the issue of SSRI induced suicidality. It was he who flew immediately from Indianapolis to Boston, in January of 1990, to meet with Dr. Martin Teicher in an attempt to neutralize the now famous Teicher & Cole articleii. It was he who authored the "meta-analysis" of Lilly's studies, an analysis which, among other serious flaws, excluded 76 out of 97 actual suicides! And it was this same Dr. Beasley who was the principal author of a study protocol, written with the input of "somewhere between 10 and 100" in-house and outside scientists. But more of that below.It is appropriate to provide a reference to quoted material. Where did you find this?
