World Net Daily "Killing Consumers for the Almighty Dollar"

See the article by Joel Hesch

Check out this excellent commentary on the fraud perpetrated by Purdue Frederick Company Inc, the makers of Oxycontin. Hesch writes about how Purdue Frederick’s sales team lied to increase sales, telling doctors the drug was safe and effective, instead of addictive. The company’s researchers used misleading graphs to publish bogus articles in medical journals.

Oxycontin was first marketed in 1995. Billions of dollars of profit later, there was a trail of bodies and a huge group of addicts.

Last year, the government finally got a criminal conviction for fraud, tho no one went to jail and Purdue Frederick Company, Inc., paid a total of $635 million—nothing when you figure they got to keep $1 billion a year profits for over 10 years.

Enter a whistleblower! He got a monetary reward and more than that he’s responsible for saving countless lives. God Bless the Whistleblowers.
