Seroxat Users Group a front set up by money grabbing lawyer Mark Harvey

Seroxat User Group - a group for Seroxat Users?



This of course is not what it is – it is a group of anti-seroxat users, and a trojan horse if ever there was one. The names deliberately disguise their real purpose.

The Seroxat claims have all the hallmarks of a classic David and Goliath meltdown. The wronged will deal the evil giant (GSK) such a blow that it will never recover, and the world will be a safer place. It all sounds very emotionally reassuring, especially since we all hate the idea of a company profiting from treating illness. I am however far from convinced that the alleged ‘facts’ stack up. Could it be that it is not the little man fighting for the common good, but in fact a bunch of money hungry lawyers quick to see that they might be on the road to a nice little earner?There is a new group in the UK called the Seroxat Users Group. This of course is not what it is – it is a group of anti-seroxat users, and a trojan horse if ever there was one. The names deliberately disguise their real purpose. “Oh I see, these people represent all the people who take Seroxat” you might reasonably think. Of course they don’t - nothing could be further from the truth, and that’s the trick. Mark Harvey is a solicitor who also represents this self appointed Seroxat Users Group in the UK, and who says that the number of people joining this group is growing daily, rapidly reaching 1,000 members. Last    Thursday   GSK won a lawsuit in California which had been taken against the company accusing it of wrongly advertising Seroxat as being “non addictive”. The federal judge ruled the case had no merit. The current ruling in California will no doubt be something of a setback to Mr Harvey, and Messrs Hugh James. In the meantime Mr Harvey and others continue to try to get more members to join the Seroxat Users Group.
