Awww poor Pfizer..
Well I can’t say that i’m not happy that Pfizer is seeing a forseeable problem, because I am.
As the world’s largest medicine maker and industry bellwether, the New York-based Pfizer’s setbacks always occur on a grand scale. As everyone knows by now, Pfizer executives wrung their hands all day Saturday, eventually deciding to terminate research on torcetripib, a once-promising experimental medicine designed to boost “good” cholesterol.
Well the bad thing about this is they will now seek to keep a Stalin-like grip over the patents they know hold and will do everything they can to extend them thus keeping more affordable generic copies from being made.
