Pfizer's First Female Whistle Blower Is Grilled by Lawyers and is set to MARINATE!

Question Authority with Dr. Peter Rost: PFIZER CATCHES MARAVIROC WHISTLEBLOWER

In a previous posting
I re-posted and commented upon a story by Dr. Rost about the illegal marketing of an HIV/AIDS medication. I thought it was horrible what was being done, and I was so DAMN proud of Jane Roe. Well, now I am even MORE proud of her. WAY TO GO JANE!! For being cool and representing well. Your comments and statements were rational and articulate. Thank you so much for all your efforts, really for all of us.

Whistle Blowing Explained Articulately for the Masses

I find it interesting that this blog reposted my Jane Roe Whistleblower Posting. I was very honored by that. This posting can tell you all who walked in after the movie started, what Rost really did, and what I can only aspire to.

PFIZER CFO RESIGNS after PFE finance executive blows the whistle

Pfizer's CFO Alan Levin's resignation was hastily announced 9:25 PM on Sunday evening in a BusinessWire news release. Mr. Levin, 45, took over as the chief of finance in 2005.Mr. Levin's resignation comes after three days of disclosures of corruption in Pfizer's finance department, revealed by former Pfizer finance executive Mr. Ashok S. Idnani.

"The documents the whistleblower provided show that high level Pfizer executives in India and the company's New York headquarters, including Jeff Kindler, had been made aware of the allegations before the whistleblower, who'd been with Pfizer for 28 years, was fired."

Pfizer's First Female Whistleblower: Illegal Marketing of HIV Drug

Health Care Hitman - Dr. Peter Rost breaks another big story. Jane Roe (aka) claims that Pfizer used the HIV sales force to illegally promote the drug to doctors before approval. The drug is called Maraviroc, and it will be the first CCR5 receptor antagonist on the market.

Rost talked to Roe, and her answers are very cogent and articulate with respect to the role of Pfizer in marketing a drug before it has been approved by the FDA. This is very illegal, yet the medical director of the HIV unit, who has no HIV clinical experience himself, along with a drug rep, went to MD offices to try to sign up patients for "trials" of the medication.

I find it amazing and 60 Minutes-like in reporting the fact that Dr. Rost has copies of the SLIDES for the presentation that was given to MDs on the sly. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THEM. The Powerpoint is full of graphs and cool pictures. The graph here shows that the viral load is significantly decreased in comparison to placebo. Its also true that being open about your sexual orientation and HIV status lowers Viral load and CD4 count, and its drug-free.

This looks like SALES to me, however, tt is my opinion, that Pfizer needed to UP their N (number of people successfully taking the drug) and that, rather than advance sales, is what drove Pfizer to supposedly break the law. No matter the reason, the deed was wrong.

WHAT is UP with Pfizer these days? Are they on Crack?

It seems as though they are acting like meth or crack addicts by greedily breaking all the rules to infuse themselves with their favorite green happiness... the dollar.

SHOUT OUT TO JANE ROE FOR HAVING THE COURAGE AND INTEGRITY TO SPEAK OUT. THANK YOU!

Dr. Peter Rost Reports ANOTHER Drug Company Marketing Unapproved Drugs

There he goes again:

"Wait for the next story I'm working on: Major drug company is alleged to have used the sales force to market a drug way before approval. And the drug is still not approved! I have the slides, I have the story and I'm talking to another anonymous whistleblower."

I am going to close my eyes and meditate on the positive intention, that he means me. I know this is NOT the case, but a Kitty can dream!

I am so very close, personally, to writing my story. This is a story of an innocent idealistic little black kitten that was adopted by a departmental CHAIR in a very famous medical school in the early 1980's. It is a Dickens's type story.

The kitten turned Kitty, who once was the CHAIRS favorite pet, personal psychotherapist and idea fountain, for reasons that were understandable and not understandable, became pathologically hated by the CHAIR.

The Kitty became psychologically and physically too ill to dwell in the Ivory Catbox over time. At this point in time, negotiations for my replacement(s) are 2.5 full FTEs to replace .65 of Kitty FTE. The only good I can see out of it is that my staff will all hopefully, if the Kitty is scary enough, get promotions and more permanent job. I guess three young kittens getting good jobs are worth one old black kitty getting kicked to the curb!!

Today the hard core issues were laid out... lets put these in kitty terms: bad and abusive owners over the life of the kitty.. about 26 yrs to be exact; food that was not produced according to legal standards; fishing and fishing for that toy that will lure in the kitties to the catnip; and of course.. all the interesting characters one meets in the collective Ivory Catboxs that comprise the feeding frenzy of NIMH and PHARMA $$.

This kitty wishes she knew if the big ALPHA DOGS which she loves actually can earn a living from writing and blogging. This Kitty is totally camera shy, so Rost type TV appearances are not possible. If any Health Care or Pharma blogger would wish to help me with understanding this situation I would greatly appreciate it.

Peace and Love and Catnip

Dr. Black Kitty

Peter Rost Actually Talks with Fellow WHISTLEBLOWER at AstraZenec

Dr. Peter Rost reports on a short but very meaningful conversation with a whistler blower at AZ. Here is his text below. Peter Rost is a very busy man. I constantly DIGG and write about him, but on the lists he publishes of OTHER blogs that quote HIM, I AM NEVER INCLUDED. This Kitty craves attention... but alas, she is a small flea in a pack of very big alpha wolves.

My positive intention is to spread his word - minus his self promotion. I wish he would see the light of how I can help him in the future. It really doesn't matter, because Peter is the best blogger I have ever read, hands down. For that reason only, I give him the respect he deserves. But personally, I am done emailing him. Its up to you now Peter!

Interview with AstraZeneca "Group of Seven" Whistleblower

This is an interview between Question Authority and one of the AstraZeneca whistleblowers:

QA: "I appreciate the fact that you contacted me about this story . . . but seriously, why don't you want to talk to the other big media outlets? You have one of the three national television networks asking for an interview and the biggest US newspaper also trying to find you. You could have much more impact that way."

AZ: "We will seriously consider going to the media but right now I only trust you, as a fellow whistleblower."

QA: "Have you actually mailed your Open letter to the OIG, and have you signed with your real name?"

AZ: "We mailed, emailed, faxed and called in this information to OIG LAST MONTH to the OIG Hotline. No real names given. Just the report number. By Phone: 1-800-HHS-TIPS (1-800-447-8477) By Fax: 1-800-223-8164 By E-Mail: HHSTips@oig.hhs.gov By Mail:Office of Inspector General Department of Health and Human Services Attn: HOTLINE 330 Independence Ave., SW Washington, DC 20201."

QA: "Any other thoughts you have on this story?"

AZ: "Three more things:
1) An even bigger scandal would be if OIG did nothing and didn't care.
2) Why didn't Zubillaga's Boss, Scarlett Spring, National Sales Director Oncology, fire Zubillaga months ago?
3) Also, Mid-Atlantic Oncology Newsletter Editor District Sales Manager [Name redacted] has a history of producing newsletters for the South West Region."

QA: "So I guess there may be more to come?"

QA: "Hello?"

QA: "Anyone still there?"
