Heart valve failure

[Guest guest]

In an interview, Greg Palast (author of The Best Democracy Money can Buy)

said:

 

Look at the documents I've seen and you'll get ill. Example: Pfizer

Corporation, which makes Viagra, used to make a heart valve designed by a

doctor named Viking Bjork - who found out the company's save-a-buck method of

manufacturing them caused the valves to snap apart inside patients. 

Literally hundreds of hearts exploded, one ugly way to die.  Dr.  Bjork

thought he should issue a public warning, but kept his mouth shut when a

Pfizer exec telexed, " ATTN PROF BJORK: WE WOULD PREFER THAT YOU DID NOT

PUBLISH THE DATA RELATIVE TO STRUT FRACTURE.''  The reason to withold the

warning your heart valve could fail?  " WE EXPECT A FEW MORE.''  Nice guys.

Pfizer continued to sell these heart-breakers worldwide.

And now the Bush Administration is using the World Trade Organization to

prevent dead patients' families from suing Pfizer and other makers of bogus

'medical devices.'
