AstraZeneca Seroquel Studies Buried

The London-based company faces about 9,000 lawsuits (15,000 patients) claiming it failed to properly warn users that Seroquel can cause diabetes and other health problems for this FDA approved drug. According to an AstraZeneca official, "The drugmaker failed to publicize results of at least three clinical trials of Seroquel and engaged in “cherry picking” of data." ... "AstraZeneca has studied Seroquel extensively and shared all relevant and required data with the FDA -- both before and after the agency approved it as safe and effective.” I wonder how we would react if bin Laden had a way to give 15,000 people diabetes?
