Big Pharm is in big trouble, but they don't see it yet. The entire medical-industrial complex is imploding as doubt sets in among the masses. Medicine has occupied the place of the "priests" of our modern society. It's about belief. When the plebes stop believing in the efficacy of the rites their priests are engaged in, trouble is brewing...

It wasn't just Vioxx, it was nearly the entire line of cox-2 inhibitors, and Pfizer was found guilty of manufacturing positive studies. Only one cox-2 inhibitor is still on the market, Celebrex, but I wouldn't take it. Anymore.
