I've done work for Pfizer, sanofi-aventis, Bayer, Merck, and a half-dozen

More "stinky stuff" floats to the surface about our "ethical"
drug companies.

In many ways this parallels the financial sector in that the many
highly ethical and committed people involved in building the
sector long-term are having their legs cut off by the crooks and
incompetents at the top looking for short-term "results" and
bonuses. It is called killing the goose that lays the golden
eggs....

These are only some of the latest articles identified in a very
quick web search. There are thousands more.


More on research outsourcing [and those high paying jobs]. The
reason these are mainly foreign or obscure US sources is that
appears to be the main-stream US media is not carrying the story.
Possibly advertising revenue is a consideration. Note that in
several articles the new GM/bioengineering large molecule drugs
are specifically covered. These are only the most recent
articles I found in a very quick web search.
