MERCK HIRED WRITERS ... NOT SCIENTISTS ... FOR VIOXX COVER UP

Note from Health Lover, Ilena Rosenthal.

* ilenarose.blogspot . com

I feel thrilled to see this exposed. Merck's propaganda is everywhere.

It's very present on Usenet and these groups particularly.

The Merck Gardasil Pushers here on Usenet try to cover-up all the
problems, and repeat industry claims that have no scientific backing
whatsoever. They rely on small, recent 'studies' to make claims as to
Gardasil's effectiveness and safety. It's identical to the silicone
industry using tiny, manufacturer designed and purchased 'studies' to
claim breast implants are 'safe.'

I believe that Barrett and his Snake-oil Vigilantes push vaccinations
and attack and sue those of who concerned over vaccination safety.

w w w .BreastImplantAwareness.org/Snake-oil.htm/Mark-Probert

Quackwatch and the related Health Frauds groups and blogs claim to be
'consumer protectors' ... yet where are their warnings and expose's on
Vioxx?

Barrett, a medical writer, goes ballistic over homeopathy ... suing
homeopaths and activists in the name of 'safety' ... but has no
trouble with the thousands of Vioxx related deaths.

These Healthfrauds go on massive media wars to discredit homeopaths,
chiropractors, scientists working to unravel the complicated MCS, and
fluoride and breast implant awareness activists ... suing us and
unleashing Snake-oil Vigilantes to smear our reputations ... yet are
blind deaf & dumb about the harm of Big Pharma.

It is exactly as if they were hired to run around various medium like
flak in Iraq ... taking attention from the dangerous drugs ... while
attacking activists and scientists they oppose.

In a new twist to the ethical issues Merck Inc, faces over Vioxx
(rofecoxib), the company’s one-time best seller that was pulled from
the market in 2004, because it became closely associated with patient
heart attacks, some argue that the company hired writers to fashion
the medical publications that their scientists are believed to have
written. Many of these publications claim to be based upon the same
scientific evidence which supposedly documented the safety of the drug
in order to obtain approval from the US Food and Drug Administration
(FDA).
Ghostwriters and Vioxx researchIn what seems to be deceptive maneuvers
to many people in both the medical and the publishing fields, Merck
acknowledged that it has been known to hire outside professional
writers to develop research-related documents that eventually get
published under the name of reputable leaders in the medical
community. Critics are expressing doubt about the validity of the
research and about the actual involvement of the scientists listed as
authors of the papers. One especially galling example is that of the
paper being developed as solid academic research but the lead writer
is listed as “External author?”

Dr. Joseph S. Ross, of New York’s Mount Sinai School of Medicine, came
across the apparently ghostwritten research studies while reviewing
documents related to lawsuits filed against Merck. Because Ross has
served as plaintiffs’ consultant in some of the legal cases, he had
access to the millions of documents Merck supplied plaintiffs’ legal
teams.

Merck has agreed to pay $4.85 billion to settle claims in tens of
thousands of lawsuits filed by people who once took Vioxx or their
surviving families.

Merck officials claim the practice is not uncommon throughout the
pharmaceutical industry and that Ross’s conclusion that the authors
named in these publications don’t actually participate adequately is
false. Merck’s claim is seconded by Dr. Steven H. Ferris, a psychiatry
professor at New York University, who is himself listed as author on a
Merck publication suspected of being ghostwritten. Ferris describes
Ross’s accusations as egregious and false.

An editorial published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association (JAMA) puts forth the question of whether Merck might have
deliberately manipulated dozens of seemingly academic published
documents in order to promote Vioxx under false pretenses.

Dr. Catherine D. DeAngels, editor of JAMA, says that journal published
a Vioxx study in 2002 that is now in question. This particular article
did list a Merck staff scientist as lead author but ghostwriters were
involved, too. DeAngelis considers it a dishonest move that the work
of the ghostwriters were not fully disclosed when the document was
submitted for publication.

Saying she feels the journal has been scammed, DeAngelis suggests than
an even less desirable practice is when a for-profit company hires a
for-profit writing firm to produce scientific research studies and
then finds a doctor willing to endorse it before publication.

In about 96 journal publications, Ross and his colleagues discovered
internal Merck documents and e-mail messages pertaining to clinical
study reports and review articles, some of which were developed by the
company’s marketing department, not its scientific department. In
others, there is little evidence that the authors recruited for the
report made substantial contribution to the research itself.


Some of the authors listed in the Merck study reports of concern deny
their lack of involvement or question the true nature of ghostwriting.
One neurologist, originally listed as “External author?” and then
listed as Dr. Leon J. Thal, of the Unviversity of California, San
Diego, in the final draft died a year ago in an airplane crash.

The journal Neuropsychopharmacology published the Thal paper on
Alzheimer’s disease in 2005. Citing prohibitions against the practice
of substituting a well-known doctor’s name to research conducted by
others, the journal’s current editor, Dr. James H. Meador-Woodruff,
plans to investigation the allegations.

Merck officials said on Tuesday that even when outside authors are
listed for publication, they are in fact involved in the research
process as well as the drafting and final review of any paper which
bears their names. They also admitted that professional writers have
sometimes been hired to develop drafts early on but the final work
belongs to the doctor named as author. Merck lawyer James C.
Fitzpatrick says this practice doesn’t necessarily mean the final
product doesn’t reflect the listed author’s opinion of the work.

The Ross article includes a review of companies in the business of
medical writing, including Scientific Therapeutics of New York. Ross’s
research uncovered one of their memos to Merck dated 1999 in which the
status of eight separate reports was mentioned.

One of those eight reports was targeted for publication in JAMA. When
it was completed, it was indeed published in JAMA in January 2002. At
publication, the paper listed two outside academic physicians acting
as co-principal investigators and the lead author was identified as a
Merck employee. There was no mention of the role Scientific
Therapeutics played in writing the paper.

The JAMA editorial notes that editors of these journals bear some
responsibility by allowing companies, such as Merck, to manipulate
their publications.

Putting Merck in even more hot water is a second article in
Wednesday’s JAMA that is based on some of the same documents Ross
reviewed. Written by Drs. Bruce Psaty and Richard A. Kronmal, both of
the University of Washington, the paper claims Merck was not fully
candid when submitting data for review by the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) during the time before Vioxx was recalled.

Calling the Psaty/Kronmal analysis misleading, Merck says the FDA knew
of cardiovascular risks linked to Vioxx and was involved with on-going
discussion of the matter with Merck.

Thnx Ilena. Let's also remember David Graham, who blew the whistle on
Vioxx at FDA and was punished for it.

Merck Caught in Massive Scientific Fraud

Merck Caught in Massive Scientific Fraud as In-House Authors were
Disguised as Independent Scientists (opinion)

by Mike Adams

(NaturalNews) Drug giant Merck has been caught red-handed in a scheme
to deceive the FDA and the public over the integrity of its scientific
studies, say top medical authorities. According to reports that were
(amazingly!) published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association and detailed in the Washington Post, Merck waged a
"campaign of deception" to disguise its in-house study authors as
independent scientists working for universities. This scheme made the
studies appear independent and unbiased, allowing them to carry more
apparent credibility to FDA officials, doctors and other scientists.

This fraud was conducted to boost the apparent scientific credibility
of the studies backing < * w w w .naturalnews . com /Vioxx.html>Vioxx, a
drug that has caused well over 100,000 heart attacks and likely killed
well over 50,000 Americans, according to Senate testimony by the FDA's
own senior drug safety researcher Dr. David Graham. Vioxx earned
< * w w w .naturalnews . com /Merck.html>Merck $2.3 billion in 2003
alone, and was one of the most lucrative drugs ever sold by any
company. But since 2004, when some of the real dangers of the drug
became known, a tremendous amount of evidence leading to fraud has
surfaced.

It now appears quite clear that Merck deliberately lied about the
dangers of the drug, misrepresented the results of
< * w w w .naturalnews . com /scientific_studies.html>scientific
studies, deceived the FDA to win drug approval, knowingly covered up
evidence of the drug's dangers, and now it seems Merck even conducted
a deliberate campaign of deceptive ghostwriting designed to attach
independent-sounding names to in-house studies that were essentially
pro-Vioxx promotional pieces disguised as scientific reports.

NaturalNews has reported on many of the fraudulent actions conducted
by Merck over the years. See our reporting on Merck here:
< * w w w .NaturalNews . com /Merck.html>w w w .NaturalNews . com /Merck.html

... and read our stories about Vioxx here:
< * w w w .NaturalNews . com /Vioxx.html>w w w .NaturalNews . com /Vioxx.html




Why Merck wants to keep the truth hidden from the public

What's interesting about this latest revelation of Merck fraud is that
the documents revealing the depth of this fraud were only made public
due to < * w w w .naturalnews . com /lawsuits.html>lawsuits filed by
citizens who claim they were harmed by Merck's drugs. And yet at the
same time, Merck and < * w w w .naturalnews . com /the_FDA.html>the FDA
are arguing that such lawsuits should not be allowed at all -- that
they should be "preempted" by FDA approval for drugs, thereby keeping
Merck's dirty secrets buried forever, even as consumers harmed by
Merck's drugs are denied any right to sue for damages caused by such
drugs!

It is now rather obvious why drug companies like Merck so desperately
want immunity from lawsuits -- because the "discovery" phase of these
lawsuits is causing Merck's dirty science to be publicly aired! It's
allowing the public to have a peek at the skeletons in Merck's closet.
Merck no doubt wants its secrets to remain secret so that nobody is
really aware of the
< * w w w .naturalnews . com /scientific_fraud.html>scientific fraud
we're now learning so much about. I often wonder: What else is Merck
hiding that it doesn't want to become public knowledge?




Shouldn't Merck be brought to justice?

Now, I have an important question to ask you. Given the magnitude of
the scientific fraud being discovered about Merck, and the number of
people who have reportedly been killed by Merck's products, why does
Merck still manage to escape any real scrutiny from the Dept. of
Justice and the FDA? Why does Merck seem to have an unlimited "get out
of jail free" pass from the U.S. government? Even while it's arguing
for immunity from public lawsuits, it seems Merck has already achieved
a silent, practical immunity from U.S. government regulators and law
enforcers.

Can you think of any other corporation that, if caught engaging in
widespread fraud that resulted in the death of over 50,000 Americans,
wouldn't be hung out to dry by Congressional investigations and
Justice Dept. arrests? It is flatly unbelievable to me that a
corporation engaged in such massive campaigns of deception and death
could be allowed to continue conducting business as usual in the
United States. It's far worse than what Enron engaged in. We're not
talking about simple white-collar crimes here; we're talking about an
ever-expanding collection of body bags, corruption, bribery, secret
payoffs, science fraud and, in my opinion, crimes against humanity.
And yet the mainstream media keeps on running Merck's deceptive ads,
holding their noses while they pocket Merck's illegitimately-earned
cash.

When individuals commit fraud and engage in deceptive practices that
result in the deaths of other people, we charge them with crimes:
Involuntary manslaughter, negligent homicide or even murder. So why,
then, does a powerful corporation get to go free for committing
essentially the same crimes?

In other words, shouldn't corporations be held to the same laws as the
People? Why, in our nation, are individuals charged with murder or
manslaughter when they kill people, but corporations are allowed to
kill any number of people with absolutely no consequence? They are not
arrested, not charged with crimes and not prosecuted. And on top of
that, they have the audacity to argue that they should be granted
legal immunity from ALL lawsuits that might be filed by the people
their products harm or kill! It's truly astounding...




Do not allow Merck to conduct further business in this country

I believe that law enforcement authorities in
< * w w w .naturalnews . com /America.html>America have both the right
and the responsibility to arrest top Merck executives, seize Merck's
inventory, and deny Merck the right to conduct any further business in
this nation by cancelling its corporate charter. I believe Merck is
engaged in serious crimes against the People and that its business
practices are clearly being conducted in violation of federal law (not
to mention in violation of basic business ethics and human
compassion). If this was any other corporation we were talking about
here -- and not Merck -- this company would be subjected to a massive
campaign of media scrutiny and Congressional scrutiny. But not Merck.
It's too powerful, too influential.

Merck should be renamed "The Teflon Company" because even though it's
pushing dangerous chemicals, nothing seems to stick.

Let me break it down for you and tell you what's really happening
here. It's the same old story, after all: Rich, powerful white-collar
criminals get away with murder, while the poor, the disadvantaged and
the sick get shafted.

I pray for the day that Merck is put out of business, shut down by law
enforcement authorities who finally decide to apply existing federal
law and prosecute this dangerous, destructive corporation for its
organized-crime-like operations. Americans would be far safer if Merck
were shut down. In fact, the threat to Americans' health from Merck
far outweighs any threat to national security by terrorists. Think
about it: The current war in Iraq has killed 4,000 Americans. Just one
drug from Merck has killed over 50,000 (and that's a conservative
estimate). That's more than ten times the number of Americans killed
in our current war!

Is Merck a < * w w w .naturalnews . com /terrorist.html>terrorist
organization? No, it's a dishonest, corrupt corporation that pretends
to be engaged in good deeds and genuine science. But if you peek
behind the curtain, you find nothing but fraud, deception, and the
complete disregard for human life. Merck isn't a terrorist
organization, but it's killed far more Americans than any terrorist
organization could. Even a dirty bomb set off at the Superbowl (which
was one of the FBI's recent terrorist concerns) wouldn't kill as many
Americans as Merck's drugs have in the last five years. That's no
exaggeration.

In my opinion, Merck is an evil, out-of-control corporation that's
destroying lives and obliterating any remaining credibility of the
pharmaceutical industry. One day, when the truth finally emerges about
the totality of Merck's crimes against the People and the depth of its
willful deception, the public will be stunned, frozen in a state of
disbelief that they could have tolerated such heinous crimes right
under their noses. They will think the same thoughts of Nazi
supporters seeing Hitler's concentration camps for the first time...
How could we have allowed this to happen right here, on our own soil?
To our own children? To our own families?

It's time to apply federal laws to Merck and start making arrests. Too
many lives have been lost already, and the extreme fraud being
routinely exhibited by Merck should not go unpunished. It's time to
finally protect Americans from Big Pharma.

They should take who ever is responsible for the deaths of all that
were harmed from this criminal act and dump them at the North Pole!

Who gives these people the right to act in a criminal behavior and get
away with it?
Its criminal when people die because of your negligence.
