Pfizer ordered to pay up over ‘AIDS-like’ virus infections

By Daniel Tencer
Friday, April 2nd, 2010 -- 4:51 pm

In what is being hailed as a major victory for workers in the biotech and nanotech fields, a former scientist with pharmaceutical firm Pfizer has been awarded $1.37 million for being fired after raising the alarm over researchers being infected with a genetically engineered "AIDS-like" virus.

'TOO BIG TO NAIL'


A report at CNN about a separate legal matter involving Pfizer states that the Department of Justice considered Pfizer to be "too big to nail" in an investigation of the company's illegal marketing of the painkiller drug Bextra.

This part says so much. . . Let's think about some of this.

This story proves without a shadow of a doubt, 3 things. One is that it is indeed possible for the drug corporations to engineer deadly and ''incurable'' diseases, for profit. It also proves that it's perfectly plausible that these same corporations might have done this in the past with such diseases as AIDS, the part of the article that mentions trademark protection FOR GENETICALLY ENGINEERED DISEASES PROVES THAT. . . Few people know this but, in Africa many people suffering from easily curable diseases and disorders like Malaria and malnutrition are often diagnosed with AIDS and are given expensive drugs that these corps profit off of while they die. Thirdly, and in a way a bit more scary is the fact that corporations indeed do have more rights than human beings in this country. Here, we have Pfizer taking itself off the hook by creating a dummy corp to take the loss and scrutiny, while doing no harm to itself. . . Do you know any humans who can legally take a crash test dummy and put it in their place to take any legal fall? I have yet to see such a thing exercised. . . These are the things our elected officials PROTECT. . . This is the system Obama protects, GWB protects, all of your favorite status-quo guys protect. . .

Thanks for posting.

This is an example of fascism beyond Hitler's wildest dreams.

Too big to fail, too big to nail. And now we have proof they are calling the shots.

Baxter is another one but their "mistake" didn't happen in the US. They shipped bird flu virus "by mistake" instead of normal seasonal flu vaccine. When the test critters keeled over is when the lab discovered it. Nothing happened to Baxter. This is the "bird flu" that kills people..this is the deadly one.

"P&UCI sold no drugs and had no real employees, and its creation was simply a figleaf to allow a Pfizer entity to take the rap without harming Pfizer itself," explains Jim Edwards at the Bnet business blog.
Well one mistake in this was that Pharmacia/Upjohn was not a real corporation. It most certainly was because I worked for them in NJ and have the pay stubs to prove it. Pfizer bought them out.

If you read the CNN article you'll see this:

"So Pfizer and the feds cut a deal. Instead of charging Pfizer with a crime, prosecutors would charge a Pfizer subsidiary, Pharmacia & Upjohn Co. Inc."

Yes but they also said that there were no employees and that is not true.
