How many deaths from Vioxx?

So how many people actually died in the US after taking Vioxx? While Merck argues that no one has ever died due to Vioxx, but Dr. David Graham initially estimated that up to 50,000 Americans were dead after taking Vioxx. Earlier this month, he estimated that as many as 60,000 American deaths may be attributed to Vioxx.

In an interesting development, Natural Solutions Foundation, a health freedom advocacy organization, in a press release is estimating that as many as 55,000-188,000 American deaths occured due to Vioxx. They attribute their estimate to FDA.

So how many Americans are dead due to Vioxx? Only time will tell.
