AstraZeneca financial ties to Nobel Prize Foundation

AstraZeneca's Financial Ties to the Nobel Prize Foundation Raise Suspicions

From the article Dec, 2008

"Questions are being raised about a web of financial ties between the drug maker AstraZeneca and the Nobel Prize Foundation. According to reports from Pharmalot and Discover Magazine, AstraZeneca has financially sponsored two of the Nobel Foundation subsidiaries and maintains strong financial ties to decision makers who actually award the Nobel Prize."

AND

"But that's not all: A member of the Nobel Committee serves on the AstraZeneca board, and another top representative of the Nobel Committee received money from AstraZeneca in 2006." (conflict of interest; COI)

I don't know if this is related to the WTF award, I mean Obama's award. I do know one thing, the pharmaceutical industry and our government are corrupt. No worries, Obama's vision will save us!
