Pfizer Pfizzle

Look, the pleasure receptors in your brain are no different than mine. Find someone who is taking Chantix, take one, just one. You might be okay, or you might want to claw your face off…literally. Just as important, if you smoke, keep trying to quit, by any means necessary. Thanks for your time

James,

You are about as uninformed on a topic as one can be. To suggest that Chantix has had more problems than anything else out there is insane. There is always a risk/benefit with every drug and it so happens that Chantix targets the addiction that causes more harm than anything else.

Do some research before you make these claims, I can name 5 drugs that provide less benefit to reducing chronic illness that have more serious side effects.

Get a clue.

Hey James,
when it comes to the stock market, it all about the money and only when you feed (revenue) the wall street machine does it love you. There are many things more important than making money: you family, life, etc but business is busines….You make it sound as if Pfizer should be a benevolent charity….that is not their model…they are “for profit”.

I am a former PFE employee and current stockholder. Pfizer was a great company to work for, the employees were always considered their most valuable asset, I hope they are still maintaining that perspective in these unsettling times. There was a time when the CEO knew everyone in the original Brooklyn plant by their first names, I think I’ll buy some more stock now at these prices.

So far, pilots, air traffic controllers, crane operators, train operators, bus drivers, and truck drivers can not be medically certified if they use Chantix. There will be more restrictions on it’s use in coming months. To say that this will not affect Pfizer’s stock is not based in reality. I think that everybody should quit smoking, but Chantix is not the way to do it.

ASk them why they have a former macdonalds executive running a pharmaceutical company. At some point that business is about science.

first off, learn proper grammar before making posts. sometimes there ARE not is. then try to understand the difference between a stock and the company. Pfizer does not make money from the stock market, they make money by selling drugs. You speak of chantix, do you know what the drug is for? Smoking cessation. So are you saying it is better for people to continue to smoke? And more importantly, with regards to problems with drugs, I want you to name a drug that carries with it no side effects. Such a drug does not exist. Every drug, including an antibiotic, tylenol or even OTC supplements caries some risk of harm. NOTHING is side effect free and 100% safe. Pfizer problem is that wall street is short sighted and no analysts are willing to tell their clients to commit their money to it. why, because it isnt growing fast enough. 3% growth on 10 billion dollars is still 300 million dollars which is a hell of a lot more money than some of these small cap agro and energy companies make. But, wall street is so fixated on percentages and growth rates rather than actual money. Maybe these stupidalysts shoud listen to Tom Cruise in JM, when he said, “SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!”

Chantix is great medicine. The ‘independent’ study that made Chantix look so bad was done at Wake Forest University which sits on property donated by R.J. Reynolds. Get the picture?

I think that part of PFE’s decline can be attributed to problems with Chantix. I can not think of any other medicine with the amount of problems that this medicine has. I believe that there will be more problems with this drug that have not been fully realized yet. I feel that Pfizer should recall this medicine, take it’s losses and move on. Sometimes there is more important things that just making money in the stock market.
