RE: Fact

Dear Robert,

The simple, ineluctable fact upon which this matter rests is this:

Merck and Pfizer have always published product information with Zocor™ and Lipitor™ which instructs patients to immediately report muscle pain and weakness to their doctors. Doctors are instructed by good clinical practice, common sense and product monographs to withdraw these drugs if a patient reports problems. Period. The latter never happened. I was saved from torture and death by coincidence, twice.

Everything else is of academic interest only.

All the lying and dissembling of Alport, Ast and Annandale over the years and the subornation of perjury by their council today only buries them deeper. Their only defence is to turn on the pharmas to testify that someone suggested they should ignore their patient's complaints. Which they did. Perhaps they can reduce their liability to a life sentence, one for each.

People are going to prison and the multi-billion dollar anti-cholesterol racket will be destroyed.
