FDA Wins Major Award!

While the nation's most notorious drug dealers -- you know, Pfizer, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, and the rest of the gangs -- were meeting in Boston to give themselves prizes for the best Direct to Consumer Advertising, my friends at Community Catalyst and Health Care for All were down the hall giving out their own awards.

The FDA got the "Asleep at the Wheel" prize, although personally I think that gives them too much credit. They aren't negligent, they're co-conspirators.

The judges couldn't decide on the "Performance Anxiety Award," so it was shared by Pfizer, Lilly, and GlaxoSmithKline for their competing stiffening agents. Merck and Pfizer also shared the "Speak No Evil" award for their Cox-2 inhibitors.
