Feeling like telling a pharma story

~part one~
I was trawling the depths of the fresh internets on wired, and found some big pharma culture praising fodder. living in austin and having seen ppd pharmaco fund /el mariachi/ I realized this was some hackneed oboe peddler trying to entice young boys. [that just sounds bad, used for onomatopoeic effect only]

so I found this little strand of a press release from 2003 and a 2006 news item relating to the partnership of two big european pharma wigs, check this hubris:

We are very pleased to team up with Boehringer Ingelheim, a global and experienced leader in antibody development and manufacturing. The opportunity to have our promising therapeutic antibody being developed and produced by an approved high expression system of a top tier partner constitutes a major step forward towards the realization of our clinical development program. It increases the value of our first development candidate substantially.-
(upside down backwards quotes courtesy of the germans)

copy-n-paste you muthas, no referral logs please:

~Part II~
And then... the 2006 state


German biotech firm TeGenero has filed for bankruptcy just four months after a catastrophic safety trial with its immunomodulatory drug candidate TGN1412 left six healthy volunteers fighting for their lives...

Just sharing another nugget of a factoid that will be vaguely remembered in 8 years and probably miscommunicated.

idjots! them, they have meeped up again.

the bought guinea pigs suffered, we hear talk about liberating chimps by whacko fur-spray painting nudists {peta} but what about the fools that donate their livers to the drug trials that invariably meep them up?

and I know you remember the "involuntary drug trial in emergency medicine" with the artificial blood right?

right?

Are we in Africa yet ?

I'm going to die in Africa.
