Comment:
Two bombshells have come out in the Vioxx litigation against Merck: (a) "Merck * * * apparently downplayed evidence showing the painkiller tripled the risk of death in Alzheimer's-prone patients" and (b) "many Vioxx studies were prepared or written by Merck employees or paid consultants, not the doctors named as the studies' lead authors". Link. This is starting to remind me of the never ending tobacco litigation. It was a long slow death. I think Merck is in for the same pain.
