Looks like this site suffered a bit of comment spam above. As if email wasn’t enough, now blogs and anythign with comments. I had a small article on Vioxx at http://romej.com/content/2/The_Pains_of_Vioxx_and_Celebrex.

Now celebrex and even aleve are under investigation.

To me it is appalling that Merck was hiding and minimizing known heart risks from its consumers and doctors. What makes their conduct even worse is that Vioxx was priced unreasonably high given its effectiveness. This is a true case of profits being placed before people and I applaud lawsuits such as is described in this article. I also applaud the suits being brought by individuals to hold Merck responsible for the damages they have caused.
