What The Hell Is Wrong With Pfizer And The FDA?
Recently, we found out that Pfizer's arthritis drug, Celebrex, leads to high incidence of heart disease and heart attacks.
On the heels of the blow-up with Merck's arthritis drug, Vioxx (which was actually killing people), where the drug was immediately taken off the shelf, one would assume that George Bush's Food & Drug Administration and/or Pfizer themselves would rush to get Celebrex off the shelf.
Wrong.
Instead, they decided to stop advertising the drug, but continue selling it. That makes sense...
What is the White House adding to this mess?
Denial, of course!
