Merck Admits Cancer Virus In Vaccines
This stunning censored interview conducted by medical historian Edward Shorter for WGBH public television (Boston) and Blackwell Science was cut from The Health Century due to its huge liability - the admission that Merck drug company vaccines have traditionally been injecting cancer viruses (SV40 and others) in people worldwide.
This segment of In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood & Bioterrorism, produced and freely contributed by consumer protector and public health expert, Dr. Leonard Horowitz, features the world's leading vaccine expert, Dr. Maurice Hilleman, who explains why Merck's vaccines have spread A.I.D.S., leukemia and other horrific plagues worldwide. -

Pfizer fined $2.3 billion in drug-marketing case
The drug giant pleads guilty to illegally marketing Bextra, a painkiller removed in 2005. It's fined for illegally marketing 13 drugs.

Drug giant Pfizer (PFE) agreed today to plead guilty to a charge of illegally marketing the now-withdrawn painkiller Bextra.
But that's not all. The drug giant agreed to pay $2.3 billion in fines to settle allegations that it illegally marketed 13 drugs, including Bextra. It is the largest fine ever levied for fraud in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Shares of the Dow component were down 0.9% to $16.23. The shares are down more than 8% this year.
Pfizer was deemed a repeat offender in pitching drugs to patients and doctors for conditions not approved by healthcare regulators.
Pfizer had pleaded guilty in 2004 to an earlier criminal charge of improper sales tactics and its marketing practices have been under federal supervision since then.
The company, which is acquiring rival Wyeth (WYE), had warned in January that it had taken a $2.3 billion charge late last year to resolve allegations involving Bextra and other drugs. However, it didn't provide details.
Pfizer pulled from the market in 2005 after the Food and Drug Administration said the drug could cause a dangerous skin condition and as well as cause heart problems. At the time, Bextra was generating $1.3 billion a year in sales
The settlement announced on Wednesday by Pfizer includes a $1.3 billion criminal fine related to methods of selling Bextra.
It also includes $1 billion in civil payments related to so-called "off-label" sales of drugs -- meaning for uses not authorized by the FDA -- and payments to healthcare professionals.
Marketing fraud cases against pharmaceutical companies have become almost routine, The New York Times said, with almost every major drug maker being accused of giving kickbacks to doctors or shortchanging the Medicaid program on prices.
Prosecutors said that they have become so alarmed by the growing criminality in the industry that they have begun increasing fines into the billions of dollars and will soon start charging doctors individually as well.
In January, prosecutors announced that they would fine Eli Lilly (LLY) $1.4 billion for its illegal marketing efforts on behalf of Zyprexa, an antipsychotic.
Drug companies often pay physicians to prescribe their drugs to patients.
In fact, The Times reported today that marketing plans developed by Forest Laboratories (FRX) for its drug Lexapro included using cash and other perks to persuade psychiatrists, primary care doctors and other medical specialists to prescribe the antidepressant.
Forest Labs shares were down 3.3% to $27.96 today.
Today's announcement was made by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
