Jim Edwards said, on Bnet (CBS interactive):
It’s good that Merck is finally opening up about this issue and moving to repair some of the damage to its reputation that it created with its own patients since the shortage began.
Nonetheless, it’s surprising that the mainstream press has mostly failed to cover this issue. Clearly, there’s more here than meets the eye. Merck has not revealed the name of the supplier who made the “decision” that triggered the switch. It’s astonishing that healthcare providers, doctors and regulatory authorities have shown such little curiosity as to how this happened.
