Celebrex and FDA killing folks

So much for the continued illusion of government
protection in anything.

Time to wake up.

But the sleep is deep...
Celebrex, a huge-selling painkiller sold by
Pfizer, more than tripled the risk of heart
attacks, strokes and death among those taking
high doses in a national trial, the company said
Friday.

The results raised new questions about how well
federal drug regulators protect the public and
worsened drug makers' already dismal
image.

I can hear the buzzing in the background about
reform of the FDA.

Sheeit.

Flush it.

Full report.
