In perhaps the most accurate media assessment to date of Merck and its CEO Kenneth C. Frazier, Dr. Daniel R. Hoffman in his Philadelphia Inquirer “Check Up” column today uses the terms:

-loathsome
-detestable
-bogus
-blatant deception

Also, please email Dr. Hoffman a note letting him know how thankful we all are to him for having the guts to tell the truth:

Meanwhile, I just noticed a number of comments on this story:

Interesting, the reaction among readers.

The truth is getting out…

From now on I am referring to this company/terrorist group as Al-Merqaeda.

In this story a few weeks back…

…did you catch the quote from Ben Evins?

“That petition makes Dr. Tamra Goodrow sound more like Dr. Josef Mengele,” said fellow PFS victim Ben Evins, 26, of Austin, Texas, referring to the infamous Nazi physician at the Auschwitz death camp. “Thank god the FDA saw through her BS and tossed her request in the trash.”

And within the article, Thomas J. Walsh at the NIH (a US Government Agency), stood up in support of prescribing Propecia to Teens.
[Dr. Thomas J. Walsh assured the committee that Merck’s data describing the patients was “extremely robust and very, very rigorous.” He said his government staff had assisted in vetting the company’s data. About 30% of the patients were helped by the drug, he said.]

The main point here is that corruption and greed have no boundaries. The NIH has employees moonlighting for consulting fees from Big Pharma to promote drug candidates. Here’s one that was prosecuted:

I didn’t realize that Walsh was prosecuted.

The lesson is: trust NO ONE.

Please read this column by former Merck attorney John Osborn, titled “Feds Have Beaten Pharma Into Submission Over Off-Label Drug Use, But At What Cost?”…

From a July issue of Infowars I just came across:

"A Candadian medical study, conducted by the University of British Columbia’s Neural Dynamics Research Group, first reported by the Washington Examiner, included a list of Gardasil side effects that entailed, death, convulsions, paraesthesia, paralysis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, transverse myelitis, facial palsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, anaphylaxis, autoimmune disorders, and deep vein thrombosis, among others.

"This isn’t the first wave of medical corruption Merck has promoted. Merck is known for falsifying test results for their own mumps vaccines. Two former employees filed a lawsuit in 2010 alleging the company convinced the federal government to purchase hundreds of millions of dollars worth of worthless vaccines. Merck is also known for their drugging of cattle with a recycled anti-partitioning drug called Zilmax. They are most infamously known for their Vioxx scandal from 1999 to 2004, which yielded 38,000 deaths and a massive recall.

“So why does anyone, any government, any sane person trust pharmaceutical giants like Merck? Why is this organization of murderers and thieves still in business? Why aren’t all government withdrawing their support from these dangerous HPV vaccinations like Gardasil?”

From today’s Philadelphia Inquirer story on the possible link between marijuana and gynecomastia:

“More than 90 drugs have been linked to gynecomastia, including some antidepressants and antibiotics and ulcer, heart, and HIV medications. Men who are obese are susceptible. So are bodybuilders who use anabolic steroids, men who use Propecia to prevent hair loss, and those who self-administer testosterone.”
