The Skittles Defense

by Peter Pitts

From the WSJ Health Blog ...

Claiming he popped Merck’s former painkiller “like it was Skittles” (sic), the pitcher expressed his concerns about the potential impact of the drug on his health. “Now these people who are supposedly regulating it tell me it’s bad for my heart. I don’t know what the future holds because of the medicine I’ve eaten, but I trusted that it was not harmful,” Clemens told Mike Wallace.

I may be wrong here, but I do not believe the FDA-approved label for Vioxx included any mention of either stupidity or hanging fastballs.
