Rosenberg: The character development in Not Safe as Prescribed is interesting as so much money is made. Some of Muckler's operatives are without conscience or able to rationalize their deeds. Jeremy, the protagonist of the book, was unable to rationalize his job once his cousin dies from opioids. Early in the book, a skeptic about OxyXR's safety who the company felt could do harm to its sales is literally killed. Jeremy ends up facing the same risks.
Golbom: Yes there is moral tension in the book and a shocking ending that people will enjoy. But sadly Pharma has money on its side because there is no money in prevention and education. As the kingpin OxyXR marketer, Auturo Muckler sums it up in the book, "I love drugs. Whether you take them, make them, use them, sell them, grow them, arrest people who have them, sentence people who got caught with them or run the jail houses, everyone makes money." I think I left out the undertaker.
