Peter Rost: Whistle Blower, Pharma Blogger, ???

SUMMARY

It might be fair to call former Pfizer marketing VP Peter Rost "Pharma's Black Knight" because of his confrontation with the drug industry over drug importation and his "whistle-blower" case against Pfizer. He achieved notoriety on 60 Minutes and in testimony before the US Senate regarding high US drug prices and drug importation from Canada by US citizens. Using these pulpits, Rost has criticized the drug industry on their stance against importation, calling it "fundamentally unethical." After his 60 Minutes interview, Pfizer temporarily cut off his phone and email service and eventually fired him.

This article is based on an interview in which Rost describes his new post-Pfizer vocation: Blogger!
