92: Swine Flu: It's a Beta!

Merck Vioxx Scandal, Microsoft Board

Internal memos from Merck revealed a "hit list" intended to discredit and destroy doctors who refused to prescribe the painkiller Vioxx, which was later linked to heart attacks and strokes. Former Merck CEO Raymond V. Gilmartin, who oversaw the company during this period, now serves on the board of directors at Microsoft. The hosts criticize the lack of accountability for corporate executives involved in such scandals.
