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. Merck 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, of which 38,000 of them died young as a result[4]. Merck, eventually settled the biggest pharma lawsuit in history, to the tune of 4.85 billion US dollars[5] to thousands of people.
Activities
After leaving her job, Brandy Vaughan lived in Europe for 8 years with her son.[6]
Disavowal of suicide
In December 2019, Brandy Vaughan explicitly stated that she would never commit suicide, stating "I’ve NEVER had any thoughts of taking my own life, not once, ever. Even before I had my son...".[7][8][9]
