Came from the Australian Financial Review, an Australian Wall Street Journal.
Wow. My ex-roommate is from Australia and he always raves about the AFR. So glad to see an esteemed business publication picking up the story. Thanks for posting.
Here’s my favorite line from Margo’s piece:
Could Merck BE any dumber? I mean, they know full well that most doctors have no idea how to treat PFS, let alone ever heard of it. But they keep trying to fob off responsibility for the problem onto doctors.
But now that someone came along and established a foundation that will eventually establish a scientific connection between Propecia and post-finasteride syndrome, Merck is essentially digging its own grave.
Because once scientists DO prove the connection, the public will be, like, “Huh? Why they hell was Merck passing the buck all those years? They’re supposed to be a health care company – which, by definition, is supposed to first and foremost (as Merck’s own tagline goes) ‘help the world be well.’”
And then the public will come to the realization that Merck’s defense was nothing more than a global conspiracy by a bunch of sociopathic executives bent on “helping themselves be rich at any cost.”
Even when that means killing innocent people.
Kenneth C. Frazier is looking more like Richard M. Nixon every day.
The only difference is that Nixon had at least SOME soul.
After all, he played a mean piano.

Just found another story from today in the AFR – this one about the hunger-strike guy, Kevin Malley:

Kevin, baby…
You…
the…
Man!
Excellent
Fifth straight month Merck has had to see me in the news. I hope to keep the streak alive.
Nice.
How would you rank the AFR in terms of popularity for Australian Newspapers?
It’s a pretty market specific newspaper. Depending on the demographic i’d say a lot of corporate workers would be reading it. As far as popularity I wouldn’t rate it the highest, but it’s defintley widely read in Aus.
That’s good news. In less than a month it’s been up, the PFS Foundation has already had a plug in a major world financial newspaper.
Look in the background. Inside those two cars are Merck employees watching us. 
Anyone have the contacts of the writer? might do a story seeing’s based in Aus.
Be sure to check out the additional overseas coverage (below) in the wake of the Australian Financial Review stories on the dangers of Propecia.
Ah, let me rephrase that…
Be sure to check out the additional overseas coverage (below) in the wake of the Australian Financial Review stories on Propecia.
After all, “danger” and “Propecia” are synonymous. So it goes without saying.
Ain’t that right, Kenneth C. Frazier?
