TBTAM chimes in on the continuing controversy:
Right now, because the HPV vaccine does more good than harm, the healthcare community and the media seem to be willing to let Merck slide on this one. But I believe it is a very slippery slope upon which we are allowing them to ride. They still need to get better at covering their tracks, but their recent absence from the WIG website proves they are fast learners in this regard. If they get any better, then a day will come when we will no longer know from where the influences are coming. And if the product being pushed is not the HPV vaccine but another Vioxx, I don’t want to imagine the outcome…
