Approved message? Fair balance?

I see a GSK SVP can post a link to NYTimes article on LinkedIn called No excuse people. Get the new shingles vaccine. Where is the fair balance, how does pass the sniff test? No other commentary given on the post, just a repeat of the headline.

 

What ?

 

Desbiens shared the NYT article on LinkedIn. If we did that or on Facebook, we would be fired!

 

Perhaps there are two different sets of rules?

 

Facts:

• Current US SVP of GSK vaccines was also GM of Romania from January 2009 to September 2010
• Reporting to him is marketing/commercial head of US Vaccines who was his successor in Romania as GM from Jan 2011 to Mar 2014
• See article excerpts below

Perhaps this helps you answer some of your questions or at least puts things into perspective.

Reuters article reported July 29, 2015
GSK faces new corruption allegations, this time in Romania
"The latest allegations say GSK paid Romanian doctors hundreds, and in one cases thousands, of euros between 2009 and 2012 for prescribing its medicines, including prostate treatments Avodart and Duodart and Parkinson’s disease drug Requip.

According to the email, the doctors were notionally paid for speaking engagements, but in three out of six cases, including the most highly paid one, they did not give any speech. The other three medics gave only one speech each, despite receiving multiple payments.

GSK also provided doctors with many international trips and made payments to them under the guise of participation in advisory boards, the email said.

The company said it would look “very thoroughly” into the claims, which cover a period before its pledge in December 2013 to stop paying doctors to speak on its behalf or to attend international conferences."

 

And this is a surprise? Really? No just a bad company run by bad people!

 

Well if little Bobbie is unhappy and afraid of bad people, why doesn't he quit ?

 

Defending the Child killers again?
