Top Pain Scientist Fabricated Data in Studies

In my continuing rant on how pharmaceutical companies intentionally kill more people than terrorists comes further evidence in today's Wall Street Journal. The headline is the title of this blog. It starts "A prominent Massachusetts anesthesiologist allegedly fabricated 21 medical studies that claimed to show benefits from painkillers like Vioxx and Celebrex, according to the hospital where he worked." Of course he was funded by the pharmas he promoted. In reality, Vioxx and Celebrex work less well than IB Profin, which doesn't cause the heart attacks like the other two ... oh and it is 100 times cheaper ... gee I wonder why the big ad dollars are spent by the pharmas to get us to take a dangerous drug that doesn't work as well as an old, cheap drug. Go figure.
