GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) - Fined $3b by US Feds

[setell]

I am very disturbed by this news regarding withholding data on drug data that is related to safety of people taking their drugs. I am less concerned with their fraud charges as I am sure everybody greases some sort of wheel but as a drug company public safety is a big issue and concern.

Are you surprised? The goal is to make money. People's safety is only secondary.

Having said that, I would love to be a physician getting perks from drug companies to promote off-label use.
