This is too much, Some docs say it works and some say it dosent. Since it works in only 50% of the cases I suppose this is accurate, Nothing works that well for that many people. No drug. Still I would suppose it works in some cases since they are selling something, I would think sales would slow down quite a bit after the first few months once news got around that it dosent work, I dont think VVUS has the power or money to suppress any kind of bad news like that, Unlike some other companies.

So VVUS does make money, What I dont understand is, why are the shorts so adamant about the company? Passionate even. I would think that a lot of us would develop problems in life, companies like VVUS helps those of us who might develop these problems. If I didnt like the company I would just stay away. The people praising Viagra has no clue to the harmfull effects of drugs. Not that VVUS aint a drug but I would think its much less harmfull than Prozac and Zoloft, two best sellers. Maybe thats the problem with society. No one thinks of the future, Any way to make an easy buck is okay but there is a price to pay and if the revenues from the top 10 drugs are true, a lot of people are really suffering inside and maybe its cause the need to think first about 'others' and find peace.
