Yea. I'm not an antivax person. I got my meningitis shot in Uni, tool all the ones I needed when going overseas like Typhoid ... but I know about Vioxx and I am weary of stuff rushed to market. I'm not in a high risk group, so I would want to wait a year or two personally.
I realize for many that won't be an option. But with the way things are going in America right now, I'm afraid it might not be an option for anyone; it may be a requirement just to get a job or go to school. That frightens me.
Long term, vioxx has actually been somewhat vindicated as all other nsaids have been shown to cause equal rates of heart attacks. That is, your ibuprofen is just as dangerous, but no one is demanding it be recalled.
