USA: An overwhelming report of corruption between the FDA and big pharma.

A new article will soon be published in " The Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics (JLME) And it is likely to make a lot of noise. Bearing the title Institutional corruption of pharmaceuticals and the myth of safe and effective drugs This article written by Professors Donald W. Lumiere, Joel Lexchin, and Jonathan J. Darrow presents evidence as to what close to 90% of all new drugss FDA approved over the past 30 years have seen little or no benefit over existing drugs.

The article points out how the FDA that is supposed to be in charge of the health and safety of the public is in fact nothing more than a puppet group for drug companies. Overwhelming! The point is, the medical industry's presence has become a major cause of death in the United States! Every year, 12.000 people die because of unnecessary surgeries, 7.000 people die due to medical errors, 20.000 people die due to other errors, 80.000 people die from infections acquired in hospitals and 106.000 people die from harmful side effects of the drugs consumed.

FDA-BIG PHARMA - HARVARD-MEDICINES

According to Harvard report, every week in the United States, it's about 53.000 people who end up in hospitals and 2400 people who die as a result of taking prescription medications:

The Harvard report shows one in five approved drugs the FDA is seriously harming the public and that prescription drugs are the 4e cause of death in the country. It also includes other issues related to medications such as overdoses during hospitalizations, errors or the use of medication as recreational drugs. Namely that approximately 80 million people per year suffer from mild side effects such as insomnia, dizziness, pain and digestive problems associated with taking medication.

The next article of JLME shows that the pharmaceutical industry is making big contributions to the FDA for the review of its drugs and also making big donations to the United States Congress to pass laws that would benefit the pharmaceutical giants.

According to the authors: "Congress has underfunded the enforcement capacity of the FDA since 1906 and has looked to industry to pay "user fees" since 1992, this funding was requested in order to limit the capacity of the FDA. FDA to protect the public from serious adverse drug reactions and the few claims for compensatory benefits »

Pharmaceuticals and chemical companies spend far more money promoting a product or drug than researching or studying the safety of their products :

With the incompetence and failure of the FDA to take a stand and act in the interests and safety of the public, consumers and patients are now turning innocent victims to the giants of biotechnology, industry. chemical and pharmaceutical. In addition, in order to gain FDA approval and thereby gain public confidence, Big Pharma funds a team of doctors and researchers who are responsible for masking the side effects of drugs as well as overvaluing their benefits by publishing articles in one of the scientific journals.

On the other hand, the FDA which is paid by the giants of the pharmaceutical industry makes no effort to conduct independent studies and relies solely on the information presented to them. This false information is approved and regulated by the FDA, in the end it is sometimes good doctors who then come to recommend drugs or toxic products to their patients.

Today, the majority of large donations for our schools and universities come from pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical and oil giants. Hard to think that university research is not biased given that the government is frolicking with the oil, biotechnology, chemical and pharmaceutical giants.

Would we be naive to think that these billions of dollars of contributions by big companies (which pollute our food, our air and our environment), do not guide the conclusions of these so-called "scientific studies" ? Regarding the e-cigarette, this is partly the subject of Aaron Biebert's film " A Billion Lives »Which we offer you again the trailer below.
