Word on how Merck marketed Vioxx throught clinical “studies”. Lost of chatter on this topic recently. Roy Poses provides a good place to start:

This is a real achievement, since obviously the companies involved make every effort to hide what they are doing, and it only through discovery during litigation did the facts come out.
