Pfizer - Bextra: whistleblower millionaire John Kopchinski speaks to the BBC


One of the whistleblowers in the Pfizer healthcare fraud scandal has said he felt he was "swimming upstream" when the firm was illegally promoting drugs.

"It's hard to do what's right when everyone else around you is following management sales directive," John Kopchinski told the BBC's World Today.

Mr Kopchinski was awarded $50m (£31m)for helping expose Pfizer's wrongdoing.
Pfizer is paying $2.3bn after promoting four drugs for conditions different to those for which they were approved.

I congratulate Mr. Kopchinski. With more of us like him we can fight the greed and limitless ambitions of many people.

Yes, if he was not set up to prop up GlaxoSmithKline, watch out for these guys...in for the kill. Let's hope they trip up before it's too late.
Oh, and because the WHO has declared the H1N1 as a pandemic (mandatory vaccinations, OOOOHHHH!) the drug companies are not liable should we all start dropping like flies from the vaccine.
Timing is impeccable don't you think?
