Taking drugs like PPIs for far too long may not be good for your health, or your pocketbook. These are acid-reducing drugs like Nexium, Prevacid and Prilosec

Millions of Dollars of Pharma Money Went to the DSM-5-TR Authors

About 60% of the authors had financial ties to industry, which are not disclosed in the DSM. Studies show that conflicts of interest lead to pro-industry decision-making.

The votes are in. I was pleased (disgusted?) to be a judge once again for a particularly stellar (cellar-dwelling?) list of nominees. Read ‘em and weep. lowninstitute.org/projects/2023-…

Good to see @ralphnader still calling truth to power over unsafe products. I wish he'd direct some firepower towards the pharmaceutical industry which sells unsafe drugs that kill about five 737 jets full of people every day in the US. Yet he complains about a single door? 🤦

State-sanctioned lies can be hard to defeat. Especially when most people go along with them out of fear, discomfort, or embarrassment. Then they become elevated to the level of official 'truths'.

Thing is, we can prove the B.C. government lied to mandate proof of COVID-19…

Pfizer made 100 billion during the pandemic. They should have been required to prove that Paxlovid works in vaccinated people before we spent 10 billion on it.

The US FDA waived this requirement.
Sad.

It speaks so poorly of medicine to continue to require this, when the Cochrane review of RCTs is negative. And to require it without cluster RCTs. People who make this decision are not scientists. They are failed admins.

The drug safety giant Sid Wolfe just passed away. What a loss. Here's an interview I did with him in 2009: cmaj.ca/content/180/5/…

MGH and the Brigham and many hospitals are reimplementing mask mandates based on sewage water levels & other metrics--aka an unproven intervention.

Worse, they are not studying this with cluster RCTs.

Medicine is much more medieval than we think.

Pharma’s influence on academia not only creates KOLs but also influences the academics who sit on FDA advisory committees. It buys self censorship.

Even if they want to vote against a product, they know the power of pharma within their institutions…even if it doesn’t impact…
