First, Mike Zubillaga was fired by AZ. Then Don Imus was fired by CBS! Both for saying something stupid! It goes to show that employees everywhere, not just in pharmaceutical companies, do dumb things.
But these incidents are connected in another way: bloggers in the Pharma Blogosphere may have played a role in getting these guys fired.
Peter Rost (Question Authority) was quick to take credit for Zube’s demise. I don’t think anyone in the Pharma Blogosphere would dispute that. See “Peter Rost gets an AstraZeneca employee fired.” (Medical Weblog)
But did you know that a famous Pharma Blogosphere blogger may have been partially responsible for the firing of Imus? And who would this blogger be? Why, me, of course! Whaaa?!! you say? It’s true.
