Pfizer to Pay Record Fines


You're likely not surprised that a big pharamcuetical company has recently been found guilty of unlawfully promoting their wares. Pfizer, a giant in the industry, is set to pay 2.3 billion in penalties, both civil and criminal, over unlawful prescription drug promotions.
One of their tactics was creating phony doctor's requests for information and then sending information about off label uses, unapproved uses and dosages. Additionally they would do the typical "wine and dine" of doctors to encourage them to prescribe their drugs.
Such companies have a strangle hold on us and they have their eyes set on the swine flu pandemic we are being sold. Such companies are set to make untold millions off the swine flu vaccines, literally selling an unproduced vaccine to countries who are stocking up for the swine flu pandemic they believe will happen this fall.
