Pharmalot… Pharmalittle… The Weekend Nears
1 CommentBy Ed Silverman // April 2nd, 2010 // 7:03 am
And so, another work week will soon draw to a close. We look forward to quiet moments with the short and not-so-short people, another walk with the Pharmalot mascot and, perhaps, a cozy nap. What about you? Anything exciting planned? Maybe there is spring cleaning to be done? While you ponder, here are a few items to help you through the day. Whatever you do, have a great time…

Pfizer too big to nail:

Well there it is then. This company will never be held to any sort of standards. It would be good to have the names of all of their subsidiaries, partners, associations, partners in licensing agreements, lobbying firms, legal firms, legislators who accept their support, financial institutions, all of those that keep them too big to fail- so we can vote with our feet. Because NO ONE who is involved with the health and safety of the individuals of this (or any) country should be above the law.
As for their new alliance with Acacia- stay away from my parents.
