A top-rated lawyer
who has beaten the Food and Drug Administration more times in court
than any other attorney is calling on the Trump administration to launch
a probe into possible links between commonly-prescribed psychiatric
drugs and the epidemic of school shootings.
“The financial interests of the psychiatric industry is to feed this drug industry,” said Jonathan Emord in
a short documentary video. “And the drug industry’s financial interest is to come up with the agents to feed the psychiatric industry.
“The psychiatric industry, then, is endlessly engaged in identifying new disorders,” he continued, “which can then
be treated with psychiatric drugs. Now psychiatric drugs are the primary drugs that are consumed in America.”
He’s right about that. In October 2011, Harvard
Medical School noted the “astounding” increase in
the use of antidepressants by
Americans. According to a report by “the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS), the rate of antidepressant use in this country among
teens and adults (people ages 12 and older) increased by almost 400%
between 1988–1994 and 2005–2008,” wrote Peter Wehrwein.
By December 2016, as reported by the Scientific American, fully one-in-six
Americans were taking a psych drug.
Emord says the studies show the number is higher — one-in-five Americans. And he believes there is a substantive
link between increased psychiatric drug use, especially by younger Americans, and the rash of school shootings.
The
attorney notes that psych drugs are known to produce dangerous side
effects that include thoughts of and/or
tendencies towards suicide and, importantly, violence. As such,
“shouldn’t we expect aberrant behavior to be cropping up all over the
nation?” Emord said.
The attorney added that it’s shocking there isn’t more outrage over the use of drugs even the FDA has admitted
can cause dangerous side effects and the high number of school shooters in recent years that have been taking them. (Related: On
the same day that 17 children were murdered in a Florida high school,
almost 300 Americans were killed by FDA-approved prescription
medications.)
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) International agrees.
“There
is overwhelming evidence that psychiatric drugs cause violence. 27
International drug regulatory warnings
cite violence, mania, hostility, aggression, psychosis and even
homicidal ideation. Individuals under the influence of such drugs and
committing these acts of senseless violence are not limited to using
guns are not limited to just schools,” the CCHRI said
on the organization’s website.
The organization reports that
“at least 36 school shootings and/or
school-related acts of violence have been committed by those taking or
withdrawing from psychiatric drugs.” The result: 172 people wounded and
80 people killed.
The number could be higher; medical and psychiatric histories are not known about all school shooters.
In
the video interview, Emord discussed his efforts on behalf of an
organization to obtain the medical records
of Adam Lanza, who committed the atrocious murders of six-year-old
first-graders at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
But state officials refused to turn them over, claiming that doing so would mean identifying the antidepressants
he was taking and thus “cause a lot of people to stop taking their medications.”
Emord
said that argument “is ridiculous.” He argued in a Freedom of
Information Act case to see Lanza’s records
that there were no longer any privacy interests among the concerned
parties because those were “extinguished by the acts of” Lanza, yet the
state of Connecticut continued to resist.
“Against
all of that is this huge financial interest of both the psychiatric
community and the drug industry,”
he said. “If this did not exist, if there wasn’t this huge lobbying
presence, I strongly suspect that the coroner’s offices would release
the information to the public.”
He also suspects there would be investigations on the state and federal level. But so far, there aren’t any.
Yet.
