The problem is that the drug companies KNEW alot about many things concerning their drugs.

Merck KNEW Vioxx was a problem. They had memos made to deflect doctors' questions even. (those memos were shown on 60 minutes).

Lilly is now paying 1.3 billion in fines for misrepresenting Zyprexa.(the largest ever fine... but Hey...they made 39 billion by lying!) So what is 1.3 billion to them?

One of the Zyprexa doctors in studies shredded files of patients who died of long QT syndrome on it. (this was discussed on CafePharma a while back).

So yes, Lara... mega big time exploitation.
