Default Re: Should the responsible Merck executives go to jail?

Okay, then we agree. I certainly don't presumptively think "big business evil, Merck bad" here, though I'm certainly more inclined to trust NEJM, on its face, than a boilerplate denial.

It would be great if there is no wrongdoing here, and hopefully the courts will function effectively. If there is, however, I hope they will also act as punitively towards this offence as they do towards, what are in my view, lighter crimes.
