GERIATRIC ISSUES


GERIATRIC ISSUES



There is something very wrong when so few of the drug tested end up in the green, and so many that don't work are given anyway. Those who have a financial interest in the outcome manipulate the results, Major study finds that all 37 journal articles, positive effects were over stated--the average was 32%. Thus even the drugs above in the green, must shouldn't be there. There is a corruption of the production of information through the efforts of big Pharma. It is driven by their unrelenting march to greater profits. There is a need for the publishing of cautionary statements, made all the more necessary by big Pharma’s influence upon the media through advertising dollars, which entails that the media provides a less than balanced treatment in the reporting of medical information., by big Pharma’s role in the production of information (research, journals, text books, leading researchers, advertising, conferences, and because of big Pharma manipulation of the attitude of care givers and also of the general populace—man is a social animal. It is not how much progress our system of medicine for profits has made, but how much more would have been accomplished if a different system was in place (ran properly) in which scientists made decisions by the yardstick of the public weal.

There is grass root revulsion to the current corporate health industry, with pharma doing the most harm. The best account of bad pharma is by Danish Prof. Peter Gotzsche in his 2013 book Deadly Medicine and Organised Crime: How big pharma has corrupted healthcare. Prof. Gotzsche’s book has won the British Medical Book Award given by the BMA (British Medical Association which is comparable to our AMA). Further endorsement comes from the Richard Smith former Editor-in-Chief of the BMJ (British Medical Journal) and Drummond Rennie, Deputy Editor of JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association) which are 2 of the 4 leading English medical journal. The President’s Lecture on YouTube by Harvard Professor Marcia Angell confirms Prof. Gotzsche’s book. Pharma is worse than you can imagine.
