Lilly Settles with Whistleblower Doctor Over Zyprexa Files

Submitted by admin on Wed, 09/12/2007 - 18:55.

David Egilman, the expert witness who last winter caused a huge controversy by providing The New York Times with sealed documents indicating Lilly downplayed or hid harmful Zyprexa side effects and improperly promoted the antipsychotic to doctors, has struck a deal with the drugmaker.

(The court earlier ruled that Freedom Center organizer Will Hall and some others named were no longer under an injunction, but maintained the injunction on several others.)

Excellent Zyprexa Scandal Coverage from Evelyn Pringle + Furious Seasons; Also Check Psychrights.org

Submitted by will on Sun, 03/04/2007 - 12:30.
Evelyn Pringle, reporter for Op-Ed News, and Philip Dawdy, of the Furious Seasons blog, have been covering the Zyprexa scandal closely, as has psychrights.org. Other than Mindfreedom, AHRP, and ICSPP, the 'consumer-survivor movement' has been silent on this issue. Could it be money ties?
