BIG PHARMA

Jerry, you will be happy to know that Bill Frist MD heart surgeon (R.Senate

majority leader with his pockets full of Merck) has decided not to run for

president in 2008. He claims he needs a rest from politics but I think it'

because of the shift in power is going to Democrats next year, and he realizes

he won't have a flicker of a chance of winning. But the bill that will clamp

down on the vitamin industry still looms. Had Frist won in 08, I fear flu

vaccine would have become mandory on the entire population of the USA.

“The combined profits for the ten drug companies in the Fortune

500 (35.9 billion) were more than the profits for all of the other 490

businesses put together (33.7 billion). Over the past two decades the

pharmaceutical industry has moved very far from its original purpose

of discovering and producing useful new drugs. Now primarily a

marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this industry uses

its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in

its way, including the U.S. Congress, the FDA, academic medical

centers and the medical profession itself.”

The author is not a flamboyant reformer but rather Dr. Marcia Angell,

currently Senior Lecturer in the Department of Social Medicine at

Harvard Medical School. She stepped down as Editor-in-Chief of the New

England Journal of Medicine on June 30, 2000.
