London’s Daily Mail reports that a scandal is escalating in England because their Schools Secretary appointed a GlaxoSmithKline executive to the board of the government’s official education watchdog agency, known as Ofsted. This appointment occurred less than a month before the government awarded a reported $200 million contract to Glaxo for its HPV (Human papillomavirus) vaccine for sexually transmitted diseases for school-age girls as young as 12 years, which some parents fear will give a green light to teenage sex. The appointment also comes at a time when children are being target marketed by the drug company with psychotropic drugs for treating ADHD, in particular, Glaxo markets Dexedrine in the US for ADHD and a growing number of families are filing lawsuits against Glaxo over its Paxil antidepressant, claiming the drug caused suicide or attempted suicides. (Paxil is called Seroxat in the UK).
