A lab technician tells Scott Pelley he warned his supervisor at the New England Compounding Center that their drugs were going to harm people a month before a medication the pharmacy produced began killing patients.
Joe Connolly, in his first interview, says his concerns were literally met with a shrug by the supervisor at the center, which is now under criminal investigation. Connolly appears in a 60 Minutes investigation into NECC, the compounding pharmacy that produced thousands of vials of a steroid pain medication that caused fungal meningitis that has so far killed 48 Americans and sickened over 700 more in the worst pharmaceutical disaster in decades.
