A new HIV drug from Pfizer was approved today - shortly after three HIV executives were terminated.

Pfizer Inc announced in a press release today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved SelzentryTM (maraviroc) tablets, the first in a new class of oral HIV medicines in more than 10 years. What is interesting about this announcement is that it comes after an earlier delay of approval, shortly after an internal Pfizer whistleblower alleged Pfizer had illegally premarketed maraviroc. And even more interesting is that this approval comes only a few days after it was revealed on BrandweekNRX that three executives in Pfizer's HIV division had been terminated. All of this could, of course, be a highly unusual string of coincidences. If it is not . . . continue reading here. TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT AND PRIVACY POLICY

"In Bottom-Up, Rob Kall offers important insights on why our society is in such disarray and what we must do to change it. He demonstrates how "top down" thinking is what has produced our current mess, and how bottom up thinking is much more efficient for solving problems and producing change. Rob shows how lasting change must come from the people themselves and not from the leaders. This was as true in the days of the Magna Carta as it was for the Bill of Rights as it was for the Union movement that first gave workers' rights and protection in this country, as it is today. Indigenous elders have told me, "if you want to change the world, start talking and keep talking." Rob is doing this with this book and with his OpEdNews, and he is making a difference. I recommend this book to all who wish to see lasting, human-friendly, compassionate change that will sustain humanity is this crazy world of today."
