Will big pharma take the high ethical road...? Not likely...

in another stomach-turning display of, at the most charitable, naivete but, more likely, pure disingenuousness, the nyt again suggests truth-telling...

[Pharmaceutical] companies must jump at the first hint of risk and warn patients and doctors of any dangers as clearly and quickly as possible. They should not be stonewalling regulators, soft-pedaling risk to doctors or promoting drugs to millions of people who don't need them.

what makes this noble recommendation so odious is that it completely ignores that big pharma is only following the lead of the current administration and, to be scrupulously fair, previous administrations as well... spinning, soft-pedaling, stonewalling and false advertising are the order of the day and karl rove is chairman of the board... for bushco, it's all about power and control... for business, it's all about money... and the two fit together right nicely, don't you think...?
