Big Pharma has been busted again! They secretly commissioned a thriller novel whose aim was to scare the living daylights out of folks who might want to buy cheap drugs from Canada.
When the project fell through in July, the drug lobby then offered $100,000 to the co-authors and publisher in a vain effort to sweep it under the rug.
"This is the most outrageous example of deception and duplicity on the part of a Washington lobby in the history of the country," said Capitol Hill denizen Jeff Weaver, chief of staff to Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a diehard foe of the pharmaceutical industry.
Insider is considering writing a book about Big Pharma, as he has plenty of true stories to tell.........

I agree. Truth is often stranger than fiction!
Both the "hcrenewal" view and "Pharma Watch" takes on the affair add to the picture.
Cynical manipulation!
