Democrats introduced legislation that will require Big Pharmaceuticals to submit trials into a public database. Of course, this was supposed to happen under a Clinton-era piece of legislation which they have generally ignored, expect when the research follows their marketing claims which sometimes happens and sometimes does not happen. They all dumbed up and acted as though they didn't know about registering all trial results in rececnt times, leaving no option other than to demand accountability. In light of the recent scandal with Vioxx, the widely used arthritis drug that has been estimated to have caused 27,000 heart attacks, it's time to have real results from real tests and not just leave it up to the Big Pharmaceuticals. It would be nice if they could be honest with their results but unfortunately the track record in the industry is about as poor as the Bushies.
