Wasn't that long ago when Merck aggressively marketed the painkiller Vioxx, spending $500 million promoting the drug in 2003 – an amount equal to the FDA’s total annual budget for all human drugs. Introduced in 1999, Merck knew well before it applied for FDA approval that there were serious and unacceptable risks to the drug. The drug was withdrawn in 2004, but not before a conservatively estimated 55,000 Americans lost their lives to Vioxx induced stroke and heart attack. Merck paid $4.85 billion in a class action suit in 2007 (http://www.cardiobrief.org/2009/11/23/vioxx-what-did-merck-know-and-when-did-it-know-it/).

"To the States, or any one of them, or any city of the States...
Resist much.Obey little.
Once unquestioning obedience,
Once fully enslaved,
No nation, state, or city of this earth,
Ever afterward,
Resumes its liberty."

Walt Whitman
