Would You Believe Drug Trials Do Not Look At Safety?

Keith Scott-Mumby

It’s a bit hard to swallow but manufacturers are so busy scrambling to get their product approved, they carry out the fastest and shakiest tests that could possibly be considered “legal” (but not scientific). Trials are so short that safety issues never show. Well, hardly ever. When they do, the drug manufacturers just suppress it. Yet again Merck is in the frame for lying and covering up the fact that Vioxx (rofecoxib) kills. Why are the directors of this organization still walking the streets instead of being in jail for manslaughter, at least? It has emerged through independent investigation that the fact that Vioxx increased risk for heart attack, stroke and death, were known for years before the drug’s voluntary withdrawal from the market in 2004.
