...speaking of drug companies, how many people are killed by legal drugs each year?
This article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) is the best article I have ever seen written in the published literature documenting the tragedy of the traditional medical paradigm.
- Big Pharm may sing the blues about research costs, but the taxpayers via our government fund a good big of the basic research. The fact is that the pharmaceutical industry is the most profitable (and most powerful) industry in the world. The medicalizing of every conceivable part of the human condition is only increasing the profit and power of the pharmaceuticals, since for every new "disease," there is--natch--a new drug.
Further, the pharms virtually own the AMA, and they are essentially partners with the U.S. government (and public partners with the WHO). Something like half the panelists at the FDA who approve new drugs are financially connected with Big Pharm. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (biggest single shareholder in Johnson & Johnson) is a partner with the CDC in the war against smoking, and many of the biggest pharms DONATE MONEY directly to the CDC via the Foundation for the Centers for Disease Control. In fact, pharms constitute the majority of these donors. Don't you think these donations would influence the public health policy of the CDC? Of course they do!
Those who think the tobacco industry is the evil empire haven't taken a good look at Big Drugs.
