FYI
The handling of the Eil Lilly -diabetes Zyprexa lawsuits is appalling.
In the first round 8,000 plaintiffs sued for failure to warn about the risks of diabetes--Lilly agreed to a $690 million settlement with a gag imposed on those who were victimized. How can such gag orders be justified???
In the second round, we're told another 4,000 persons allege they have been injured by this highly toxic drug.
Secret documents from the first case reveal that Eli Lilly knew about the diabetes risk at least by 1999--but the company and its representatives lied and used deceptive marketing campaigns--Viva Zyprexa--the documents' content was partially laid out in front page news reports in The New York Times.
So what does a U.S. court do about corporate misconduct?
Rather than holding Lilly accountable for its deceptive practices that concealed the evidence, the court is shielding the giant corporation from the revelations contained in its own documents about it sown marketing strategy!
The court in what seems to us as warped wisdom is chasing after those who are trying to bring the documents to the public arena--let the truth be discovered. Something is warped in this picture. The court is helping Lilly intimidate public advocates by issuing Temporary Mandatory Injuctions.
See the court injunction several of us received at: http://ahrp.blogspot.com
But the Internet is an uncontrolled information highway --you never know where or when the court suppressed documents may surface!
