Pfizer efforts in trying to keep Medicare from being able to negotiate drug pricing....for drama ratings, it's right up there, although in my opinion, I don't this this is going to hold a lot of water in the current view of what is happening in Congress.

Thanks Barbara,

Haven't had a good belly laugh like that in a long time.

It is sad that this Flash video is so blantantly a lie, I really can't even conceive who might think it has any basis in reality.  Maybe a few patients might believe it, or someone else who knows very little about big Pharma. 

It is a great idea for American Medicare to negotiate drug prices with the Pharma companies.

The "FUD" campaign (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) that Pfizer attempts to portray is weak. 

Pfizer spends more money on Advertising than Research and thus should be thought of more as a Marketing company than a Research company.

And they spend more money on dividends and stock buy-back plans than on Advertising and Promotion.  Maybe they should be thought of more as a Finance company than as an Advertising company.

Big Smile  They do have some new ventures coming to market....


The Food and Drug Administration said Friday it approved a Pfizer drug designed to help cut the weight off fat dogs.


Pfizer will market Slentrol, a liquid formula, to owners of the estimated 5 percent of U.S. dogs that are 20 percent above their ideal weight.

This should make shareholders happy.

After all, based on the torcetrapib fiasco, Pfizer's hasn't done too well treating people lately .
