'Those of us who have long been describing
the pharmaceutical industry as a "criminal racket" over the last few
years have been wholly vindicated by recent news. Drug and vaccine
manufacturer Merck was caught red-handed by two of its own scientists
faking vaccine efficacy data by spiking blood samples with animal
antibodies.
GlaxoSmithKline has just been fined a whopping $3 billion
for bribing doctors, lying to the FDA, hiding clinical trial data and
fraudulent marketing. Pfizer, meanwhile has been sued by the nation's
pharmacy retailers for what is alleged as an "overarching
anticompetitive scheme" to keep generic cholesterol drugs off the
market and thereby boost its own profits.
The picture that's emerging is one of a criminal drug industry that has turned to mafia tactics in the absence of any real science that would prove their products to be safe or effective. The emergence of this extraordinary evidence of bribery, scientific fraud, lying to regulators and monopolistic practices that harm consumers is also making all those doctors and "skeptics" who defended Big Pharma and vaccines eat their words.'
