Fin Fin.
Now this one was really recent.
It was actually in the 1990s,
if you've ever heard of this Fin Fin.
So it was in the weight loss industry.
It's a $60 billion business today.
$60 billion are spent on weight loss
in America every year.
It says basically Fin Fin, it's a Fin Fluoramine
or Anteheptamine, Phetamine, I can't say that.
Then they were marketed as short-term diet ads,
but proved largely ineffective on their own.
In the 1970s, they basically took these two drugs
and mixed them together.
And they had a study of 121 patients,
two thirds which were of women,
and they lost an average of 30 pounds
with seemingly no side effects.
It says, they started marketing,
and it says six million Americans started using it.
But in 1996, after a contentious debate,
the FDA agreed to approve the drug
pending a one-year trial.
Almost immediately, reports of gray side effects
started pouring in.
That in July, the Mayo Clinic said
that 24 women taking Fin Fin
had developed serious heart valve abnormalities.
Now, what do we remember?
What was the number one leading cause of death?
Heart disease, wasn't it?
People taking all these drugs,
taking all these things, damaging their heart,
doing all kinds of wicked things with their heart,
and they're like, oh, heart disease.
Yeah, because you're just destroying it
with drugs constantly.
It says 100 more cases were reported by September, 1997.
The FDA officially pulled Fin Fin in 1999.
The American Home Products Corporation
agreed to pay a $3.75 billion settlement
to those injured by taking the drug,
and there was more than 50,000 liability lawsuits.
So now, when these pharmaceutical companies,
they get caught as being a fraud,
it is a big penalty, $3.75 billion.
You know what, these companies,
they don't have that like sitting in the bank.
They've already spent all that money.
They've already given all that money to their CEOs,
riding on their yachts and doing whatever.
Look, they don't have this type of money to give away.
So there's a big incentive when pharma
pushes some product that's a fraud to cover it up,
to make sure that it doesn't get publicly announced
so then people can constantly sue them
and get all this money
and get all this retribution for their actions.
You say, what was Fin Fin?
Well, basically, what it would do
is it would destroy the sensors in your body
that caused you to be hungry.
You basically just had no desire to eat.
But the problem is,
is it would rapidly produce your heart rate.
I mean, your heart rate would just be pounding and pounding.
Look, your body can't sustain your heart
just pounding and pounding constantly.
And it caused all these problems in people.
It was destroying parts of their brain.
I mean, it said, and they knew in apes
that this Fin Fin drug
was causing all kinds of abnormalities in the brain.
It even made certain animals
not be able to sleep ever again.
Never sleep again.
They gave this drug to chickens.
The chickens died while never sleeping again.
Because it just, it just puts your body on hyperactive.
And you're just like, yeah, yeah, I'm so excited.
So yeah, they just lost all this weight real quick.
But what are they doing to their body?
Look, and that's what these drugs are doing.
They're trying to play God.
They're trying to cause all these fake, you know,
responses in your body that God did not produce.
And they're trying to do all kinds of damage to your body
because they don't even know what they're doing.
They just try it on people.
They just try it on animals and see all the animals die.
And they're like, well,
maybe humans can withstand it a little bit stronger.
Let's just try it on these women.
Oh, they lost some weight.
No side effects.
Look, you don't know what kind of long-term side effects
happen to any drug.
You need to be careful of any drug
that you inject in your body,
anything that you're doing to yourself.
