Take a look at who is board leader in conflict cash for the upcoming Avandia Adcomm.
Steve Nissen is pocketing nearly $1 million in study money from companies that are directly competing AGAINST Avandia. The rest of the folks have stock and speaking fees less than $10K per. In fact, St. Steven the Pure has racked up more conflict cash than the rest of the exemption seeking members combined..
And the media? Why, nary a word on the conflict back when or now even as Steve spins them feverishly in the lead up to Adcomm.
