Merck Employment
She was initially a pharmaceutical employee who sold Vioxx, a painkiller medication sold by the company Merck[2]. It eventually came to light that Vioxx was found to double the risk of stroke and heart attacks in people.
The company Merck, knowingly continued to distribute the painkillers[3], knowing its prospective dangers. The medical journal Lancet estimates that 88,000 Americans had heart attacks from taking Vioxx, and 38,000 of them died[4]. Merck, eventually had to settle the biggest pharma lawsuit in history, to the tune of 4.85 billion dollars [5] to thousands of people.
