Pfizer - Now Rost speaks

In his first "post-Pfizer" speech, fired VP Peter Rost has spoken at a Community Catalyst meeting in Washington DC:

"I do believe things can change and you in this room, you are the first step. You can light that fire. What you’re doing, trying to improve access to drugs, is in the best interest of the nation. One day people will look back at this period when we abused our weakest the same way we look back at the time before the civil rights movement. One day our children will look back at our time, when we denied our sick access to drugs based on price; when drug companies fought to keep cheaper drugs from poor Americans, as just as barbaric."
