Schering Plough - Vytorin: quote(s) of the week


"I'm an honest guy, and my first obligation is to tell the truth. Even if it means I'll probably never get to do a scientific investigation with Schering-Plough again."

And:

"For anyone to say the data in the study are bad, they either need to say that John Kastelein is a liar, which I'm certain he is not, or they need to talk to the [Schering-Plough] statisticians for the study and ask them if there are any problems with the data,"
