<<the majority of lawsuits are coming from one ambulance chasing attorney>> Kahuna--this same attorney is the ONLY attorney who has filed any lawsuits. But expect many more lawyers to file many more lawsuits against Pfizer. Your comparison to Prozac is very poor. The Prozac patients already had either severe depression or some other form of mental illness. Prozac also did not have experts from the fields of cardiology, opthamology, etc. warning about the potential problems associated with Prozac as we now see with Viagra. The lawsuits filed in regards to Prozac were blaming Prozac for an individuals behavior ie suicide or murder. There is a big difference between defending a case where a severely depressed person took Prozac and killed himself vs where a person took Viagra and had a coronary or crashed his car etc.. No comparison between these two drugs. Its like apples to oranges.
