Pfizer Executive Says Company Shut Off E-Mail, Phone Over His Public Endorsements of Drug Imports

A Pfizer Inc. executive said his employer's campaign to freeze him out because of his public support for importing cheaper drugs from abroad intensified after his appearance Sunday on the CBS show "60 Minutes."
Dr. Peter Rost, a Pfizer vice president of marketing, said he found on Monday that he could no longer use his corporate e-mail account or cell phone. Rost said the e-mail was restored on Tuesday after media calls to Pfizer asking about Rost's employment status.
Rost added that late last year his two supervisors told him that he no longer reported to them but refused to identify his new boss.
