"The study showed that out of 48,000 patients, those given a placebo pill had an annual heart attack rate of only 0.52%. Those taking Vioxx suffered heart attacks at a rate of 0.74%. Celebrex patients ran the highest risk � at a whopping 0.80% heart attack rate. That is an increase from 249 deaths to 384 per year, or an additional 135 people - out of just this small sample group! Some research indicates the numbers may even be as high as two to three times the baseline - thats going from 249 to 749, an additional 500 deaths a year just from those 48,000 patients! What most people do not realize is how many millions of people were taking Vioxx and still take Bextra and Celebrex!"
