MILLION DOLLAR PAYOUTS?!
In big pharma
Julie Gerberding, who headed the Center for Disease Control (CDC) for eight years, doubled the childhood vaccine schedule during her tenure. She left the CDC and took a job at Merck leading their global vaccine division — payback for a job well done?!! You decide…
Two months after she took the high-paying Merck job, she cashed in $2 million in stock options and just last week sold another $5.6M worth of Merck stock. $8 MILLION dollars richer…anything suspicious here?!!
In the meantime, US children are suffering unprecedented rates of chronic disorders. Now, 1 in 2 children are suffering from a chronic health issue. Is this how pharmaceutical companies are creating future customers? Can we really trust government agencies when there is a revolving door between the pharmaceutical industry and the agencies that are supposed to be regulating it?
