"And the allegation against the folks at Merck is that they were making such enormous profits on a drug that killed people that when they knew or suspected it was killing people, they kept right on selling it. When the information that Merck had known for a long time about Vioxx and heart attacks became public, the company's stock fell by 9.6 percent. That's the system George W. Bush stands for: where a corporation can knowingly kill people for profit and, when it finally comes out, everyone knows the penalties will be so light the company doesn't even lose a tenth of its worth. Hey, just a little bump in the road." ---MOLLY IVINS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> My internist knew a number of years ago that Vioxx might cause heart attacks if you took a higher doese.

Notice, they were Canadians and Bush claims he worries about the safety of importing American drugs from Canada.
