I agree. But are we going to pretend that this was some rogue scientist just fucking with people for his own amusement...

Dr. Reuben had been a paid speaker on behalf of Pfizer's medicines, and it paid for some of his research. "It is very disappointing to learn about Dr. Scott Reuben's alleged actions," Pfizer said in a statement. "When we decided to support Dr. Reuben's research, he worked for a credible academic medical center and appeared to be a reputable investigator."

Dr. Reubin did research on Bextra and Celebrex for Pfizer.
