Papantonio: Merck Emails Show Company’s Indifference Towards Injured Consumers

When you watch the ads that big pharma runs on television, they give us the impression that they genuinely care about the well-being of consumers. But behind closed doors, they let their true opinions come out, and these are less than flattering. The latest example comes from Pharmaceutical giant Merck, who we found out recently was actually mocking victims who had been injured by their products in internal emails. Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio talks about this with Martha Rosenberg, author of the new book “Born With a Junk Food Deficiency.”

I wish I could say this was unbelievable but we've just become a bizarre society of knowing we can't trust pharma, and at the same time the world's largest consumers of pharma.

Wonderland, indeed.
