Here’s how we could fix drug safety overnight, says investigative journalist Maryanne Demasi.

“In the Vioxx scandal, not one CEO went to jail despite making decisions that resulted in tens of thousands of people dying from these medications. So I don't think that company fines are enough of a deterrent to stop this bad behavior.

You need to make the individuals responsible for this, and I think as soon as an individual at a pharmaceutical company is made accountable for the decisions under their watch, I think that this behavior will stop overnight.

Because nobody is going to take that risk.

At the moment, they think they're sheltered. They're protected by the company, and in fact, some of the time, they're rewarded by their behavior and promoted in other companies. That really has to change,” she says.
