Bloomberg.com: U.S.. For some, it is difficult to let go of $2.5 billion annually, but for the top execs in Merck, letting go was the right decision. When it comes to human health and human lives at stake, this type of decision should never be a difficult decision. And if I am ever in the position to make such a decision, I hope that my action would be swift, undetered and unflinching. It is still up in the air, however, how this action will affect public attitude towards Merck and the pharmaceutical industry, for that matter.
