Pretty soon I'll be highlighting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) on this blog.
The AFSP have been exposed by many before. I will be focusing on their online Digital Memory Quilt, whereby they invite relatives to post photos of loved ones who have fallen to suicide. There are, of course, restrictions, one being that nobody is allowed to mention any medications the suicide victim may have been taking at the time of their deaths. However, that's a future post.
In the meantime here are some tweets I've sent the AFSP tonight:
Anyone have any idea why @afspnational removed their disclaimer in December 1998 stating that they "receive an unrestricted grant from Solvay Pharmaceuticals Inc."? pic.twitter.com/GjakCLwFnY— BOB FIDDAMAN 🔹 (@Fiddaman) December 8, 2017
Any idea why, in 2002, @afspnational celebrated their Lifesavers Dinner Award Ceremony by inviting, to chair the event, none other than David Stout, president of U.S. Pharmaceuticals for GlaxoSmithKline? pic.twitter.com/zKOr1arBAL— BOB FIDDAMAN 🔹 (@Fiddaman) December 8, 2017
@afspnational 1999 Lifesavers Dinner has some interesting sponsors. The pharmaceutical companies are interesting but pay attention to Scientific Therapeutics Information, Inc. - They're the PR Agency that was hired to write the fraudulent Paxil 329 study. pic.twitter.com/bYJ21jpDt5— BOB FIDDAMAN 🔹 (@Fiddaman) December 8, 2017
Any idea why, in 2001, @afspnational handed over a Research Award to Charles Nemeroff, M.D, Ph.D.? Here's the proud Nemeroff showing off his award with David Norton, President of Janssen Pharmaceuticals. pic.twitter.com/B6AboCKYqb— BOB FIDDAMAN 🔹 (@Fiddaman) December 8, 2017
In 1997 @afspnational in conjunction with Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories made a short film entitled, The Suicidal Patient: Assessment and Care. Look at their target audience. pic.twitter.com/cw0RNe5QPi— BOB FIDDAMAN 🔹 (@Fiddaman) December 8, 2017
Three of the four "experts" that appeared in @afspnational 1997 short film have all been on the payroll of pharmaceutical companies. The first one can be seen here. pic.twitter.com/hncqxXzY5R— BOB FIDDAMAN 🔹 (@Fiddaman) December 8, 2017
