It may be relevant to consider the affiliations of the scientists involved. Were they related to drug companies? Who financed them.

It seems that for USD 29.58 plus tax you can buy a copy of published article here. The free abstract gives details of the authors' affiliations as follows:

Authors: Bate, R.¹; Jensen, P.²; Hess, K.³; Mooney, L.⁴; Milligan, J.¹

Affiliations:1: American Enterprise Institute, Washington, DC, USA 2: Pivit LLC, Washington, DC, USA 3: Africa Fighting Malaria, Washington, DC, USA 4: Africa Fighting Malaria, Cambridge, UK

I wonder whether the article gives the names of the products bought in Thailand, the FDA registration numbers, and the names and addresses of the manufacturers as printed on the packs.

The article here does not.

THe affiliations look a little suspect too.

A right wing industry think tank and a web design company? The Wikipaedia article on the AFM is also interesting.
