A former British Columbia government
health economist who was fired under controversial circumstances says that his
research was showing that 60,000 Americans now taking antipsychotic medications
will die prematurely, reports The Tyee.
"There are 60,000 people who are
going to die needlessly because they haven't been warned of the side effects of
these drugs," Bill Warburton tells The Tyee. Warburton
previously had research access to the health records of millions of British
Columbia citizens, but was dismissed by the government during a controversial
"purge" of an entire team of pharmaceutical drug policy analysts in
2012. The government has been gradually backtracking on the firings after media
exposed questions about pharmaceutical industry influence.
The Tyee reports that,
"Bill Warburton's notice of claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court in 2013
said, 'The province's acts against Dr. Warburton are part of a bad faith
program by the defendants to end the investigation of harmful effects of drugs
which risk leading to diminishing payments to their political
contributors.'"
