How Pharma Works: Merck

Merck created and marketed Vioxx, an anti-arthritic.

After it was connected to a bunch of heart attacks, Merck pulled it.

But in the meantime.....

Merck made a "hit list" of doctors who criticized Vioxx, according to testimony in a Vioxx class action case in Australia. The list, emailed between Merck employees, contained doctors' names with the labels "neutralise," "neutralised" or "discredit" next to them....

 Aren't you happy to know that Merck has just invented a pill for the ChiCom Flu?
