"What you got is a number of authors here who are linked to either APA or ACOG who have said this," he told Varner. "The reason that I make this point is I have been party to processes like this on behalf of the British Association for Psychopharmacology and I can tell you exactly, if you want, how statements like this arise."
"I'm not asking that," Varner stated, cutting Healy off.
In fact, during the trial, the jury saw a January 2009 paper published in the ACOG Journal, by authors from Yale, in which Paxil was number two on a list of commonly prescribed "teratogenic" drugs.
It should also be noted that in 2006, about 30% of the American Psychiatric Association's $62.5 million in financing, came from the pharmaceutical industry, which means the group received close to $19 million from drug companies in 2006 alone.
During Healy's testimony, Varner read a portion of the study that stated: "While some linked database reports find that compared to unexposed offspring, those exposed to Paroxetine during the first trimester are at higher risk. These results are disputed by other reports including several large case cohort studies."
The actual study lists citations to papers that supposedly support this statement, which included papers by Louik and Alwan. On redirect, Tracey asked Healy: "Do those two papers stand for that proposition?"
"No, they don't," Healy said. "They both show an increase in risk with Paxil."
Tracey pointed out that this study "curiously enough came out this month."
