My argument was entirely logical, Vioxx's one big advantage was that it did not cause stomach bleeding but Merck and doctors pushed Vioxx on patients who had no need for Vioxx and were fully served by Ibuprofen. This I consider immoral and unethical. Stealing almost. Charging old folks and medical plans that taxpayers and workers paid into, much more for their drugs than was necessary.
I see that you accepted my other points.

It appears that Pfizer is doing the same with Celebrex, so far no-one has been identified as dead as a result of Celebrex.
