Vaccine Fraud Exposed
Glaxo Pleads Guilty, Fined $1 Billion in Drug-Marketing Case
GlaxoSmithKline Plc (GSK) pleaded guilty to
illegal promotion of two drugs and failure to provide clinical
data on another as part of a $3 billion settlement announced
earlier with the U.S., the Justice Department said.
U.S. District Judge Rya A. Zobel in Boston orderd Glaxo to
pay a criminal fine of $956.8 million and forfeit $43 million,
the DOJ said today. Glaxo and the U.S. reported July 2 that the
company had agreed to plead guilty and pay $1 billion in a
criminal fine and forfeiture.
The $3 billion settlement, the largest-ever in a health-
care fraud case in the U.S., includes $2 billion in civil
payments to the U.S. and the states. The settlement also
requires Glaxo to abolish incentive compensation for its sales
force and publish all GSK human research studies, not just those
with positive outcomes for the company’s drugs, the DOJ said.
“With these groundbreaking changes, GSK has committed to
putting patients before profits; science before sales,” Carmen Ortiz, U.S. attorney for the District of Massachusetts, said in
a statement today. “We hope the rest of the pharmaceutical
industry follows suit.”
GSK pleaded guilty to marketing the depression medications
Paxil and Wellbutrin for uses not approved by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration and for failing to report clinical data on
Avandia, a diabetes drug, federal prosecutors said.
Unapproved Uses
Under federal law, while doctors are allowed to prescribe
medications for unapproved uses, drug companies are barred from
promoting such sales. Promotion by a manufacturer for off-label
uses renders the product misbranded, the U.S. said July 2. GSK
pleaded guilty to misbranding Paxil and Wellbutrin, the U.S.
said.
The $3 billion total settlement surpasses the previous
record, a $2.3 billion accord that Pfizer Inc. entered in 2009
over marketing of the painkiller Bextra and other drugs.
Glaxo, the U.K.’s largest drugmaker, last year set aside
2.2 billion pounds ($3.4 billion) to cover the cost of the
settlement, which resolves a seven-year investigation of the
company’s marketing practices for the three drugs. The reserve
brought to $6.4 billion the amount the drugmaker has set aside
for legal costs tied to Avandia and the other medicines.
Federal prosecutors began an investigation in Colorado in
2004, later taken over by the U.S. attorney in Massachusetts,
into whether Glaxo promoted drugs for unapproved uses and into
ways Glaxo potentially influenced doctors. The probe concerned
nine of the company’s best-selling products from 1997 to 2004,
including the Advair lung treatment, Glaxo said in its annual
report.
The case is U.S. v. GlaxoSmithKline LLC, 12-10206, U.S.
District Court, District of Massachusetts (Boston).
Merck vaccine fraud exposed by two Merck
virologists; company faked mumps vaccine efficacy results for over a
decade, says lawsuit
According to two Merck scientists who filed a False Claims Act
complaint in 2010 -- a complaint which has just now been unsealed --
vaccine manufacturer Merck knowingly falsified its mumps vaccine test
data, spiked blood samples with animal antibodies, sold a vaccine that
actually promoted mumps and measles outbreaks, and ripped off governments and consumers who bought the vaccine thinking it was "95% effective."
According
to Stephen Krahling and Joan Wlochowski, both former Merck virologists,
the Merck company engaged in all the following behavior:
• Merck knowingly falsified its mumps vaccine test results to fabricate a "95% efficacy rate."
• In order to do this, Merck spiked the blood test with animal antibodies in order to artificially inflate the appearance of immune system antibodies. As reported in CourthouseNews.com:
Merck
also added animal antibodies to blood samples to achieve more favorable
test results, though it knew that the human immune system would never
produce such antibodies, and that the antibodies created a laboratory
testing scenario that "did not in any way correspond to, correlate with,
or represent real life ... virus neutralization in vaccinated people,"
according to the complaint. (http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/06/27/47851.htm)
•
Merck then used the falsified trial results to swindle the U.S.
government out of "hundreds of millions of dollars for a vaccine that
does not provide adequate immunization."
• Merck's vaccine fraud
has actually contributed to the continuation of mumps across America,
causing more children to become infected with mumps. (Gee, really? This
is what NaturalNews has been reporting for years... vaccines are
actually formulated to keep the outbreaks going because it's great for
repeat business!)
• Merck used its false claims of "95 percent effectiveness" to monopolize the vaccine market and eliminate possible competitors.
• The Merck vaccine fraud has been going on since the late 1990's, say the Merck virologists.
•
Testing of Merck's vaccine was never done against "real-world" mumps
viruses in the wild. Instead, test results were simply falsified to
achieve the desired outcome.
• This entire fraud took place "with the knowledge, authority and approval of Merck's senior management."
•
Merck scientists "witnessed firsthand the improper testing and data
falsification in which Merck engaged to artificially inflate the
vaccine's efficacy findings," according to court documents (see below).
US government chose to ignore the 2010 False Claims Act!
Rather
than taking action on this false claims act, the U.S. government simply
ignored it, thereby protecting Merck's market monopoly instead of
properly serving justice. This demonstrates the conspiracy of fraud
between the U.S. government, FDA regulators and the vaccine industry.
Chatom Primary Care sues Merck for Sherman Act monopolization, breach of warranty, violation of consumer protection laws
Following
the unsealing of this 2010 False Claims Act, Chatom Primary Care, based
in Alabama, smelled something rotten. Three days ago, Chatom filed a
lawsuit against Merck. That lawsuit record is available here: www.naturalnews.com/gallery/documents/Chatom-Lawsuit-Merck-Mumps.pdf
It alleges, among other shocking things:
[Merck engaged in] ...a decade-long scheme to falsify and misrepresent the true efficacy of its vaccine.
Merck
fraudulently represented and continues to falsely represent in its
labeling and elsewhere that its Mumps Vaccine has an efficacy rate of 95
percent of higher.
In reality, Merck knows and has taken
affirmative steps to conceal -- by using improper testing techniques and
falsifying test data -- that its Mumps Vaccine is, and has been since
at least 1999, far less than 95 percent effective.
Merck designed
a testing methodology that evaluated its vaccine against a less
virulent strain of the mumps virus. After the results failed to yield
Merck's desired efficacy, Merck abandoned the methodology and concealed
the study's findings.
...incorporating the use of animal antibodies to artificially inflate the results...
...destroying evidence of the falsified data and then lying to an FDA investigator...
...threatened a virologist in Merck's vaccine division with jail if he reported the fraud to the FDA...
...the
ultimate victims here are the millions of children who every year are
being injected with a mumps vaccine that is not providing them with an
adequate level of protection. And while this is a disease that,
according to the Centers for Disease Control ('CDC'), was supposed to be
eradicated by now, the failure in Merck's vaccine has allowed this
disease to linger, with significant outbreaks continuing to occur.
Chatom
Primary Care also alleges that the fraudulent Merck vaccine contributed
to the 2006 mumps outbreak in the Midwest, and a 2009 outbreak
elsewhere. It says, "there has remained a significant risk of a
resurgence of mumps outbreaks..."
This investigation is only beginning
NaturalNews
has only begun to investigate this incredible breaking news about Merck
and the vaccine industry. We are pouring through the court documents to
identify additional information that may be relevant to this case, and
we plan to bring you that information soon.
For the record, Merck denies all allegations. Is anyone surprised?
