DIANE SAWYER – ENCORE ON FOSAMAX FEMUR FRACTURES

Last night, Diane Sawyer on ABC News continued her investigation into the causal link between Fosamax and femur fractures. A video of her follow-up report can
be viewed by linking onto:

This story, coupled with the one Ms. Sawyer did the night before, is beginning to alert the nation about the horrific incidence of femur fractures occurring without trauma in such insignificant motions as getting up from a sitting position. Being one of the strongest bones in your body, the fact that bones become so brittle and weak can simply snap has raised the concern that Fosamax, designed to make bones stronger, over time has the opposite effect.

There is also a news report on Good Morning America:

Merck continues to deny liability and the FDA will not send out warnings as of yet, but assert that they “are looking into it.”
