1/ Das New England Journal of Medicine #NEJM spielte während der #Pandemie eine wichtige Rolle:

Viele der ersten Auswertungen der klinischen Studiendaten der #Covid19-#Impfstoffe wurden hierin veröffentlicht.

In seinem Buch schreibt @PGtzsche1 über das Fachjournal folgendes:
2/ „Auch das #NEJM ist in #Interessenkonflikte verstrickt. Es verdient Riesensummen durch den Verkauf von Nachdrucken von Studienberichten und durch Anzeigen von Arzneimittelherstellern - so viel, dass man uns nichts darüber sagen wollte, als wir nachfragten, und uns nicht …
3/ … einmal verriet, welcher Prozentsatz seiner Einnahmen aus Nachdrucken stammt.

Ich habe die Rolle der Herausgeber im #Vioxx-Skandal an anderer Stelle beschrieben. #Merck gab falsche Daten über Herzinfarkte an, die #Vioxx in einer zulassungsrelevanten Studie verursacht …

When a giant company wrecks your life, what are you gonna do? They can hire more and better lawyers, and they have people whose sole job is fighting off suits - are you gonna beat those people by suing as as a side-hustle? Do you wanna be a full-time, professional litigant?

For some people, the answer is yes: some people are angry enough, or sufficiently morally offended, to make suing a giant company their life's mission. Sometimes, they succeed, and force companies to cough up gigantic sums of money.

If you've never had a fight over the phrase #IntellectualProperty, count yourself lucky, you normie, you. In the land of #FreeSoftware and #FreeCulture, "IP" is fightin' words.

Not unreasonably, mind you. 1/ Benjamin Franklin's head from the US $100 bill; his mouth ha
"IP" was a deliberately ploy, undertaken by the world's largest, most aggressive corporations, who hated the existing terms of art, like "creators' monopolies." 2/
You can see why: it's hard to ask a legislature to strengthen your monopoly without provoking giggles, but "Help me defend my property"? That's an appeal to the American state religion. 3/

#1756 - John Abramson · The Joe Rogan Experience

Listening today. John Abramson is interacting intelligently and objectively with Joe.

I like that Joe is taking more time to express himself. before asking his questions. And, then he listens.

An important question answered is how a drug company owns the information related to the drug trial.

Only the drug company holds the data.

#MERCKyBusiness - IS THE CURE WORSE THAN THE DISEASE?

(thread)

Why today's announcement that #molnupiravir cuts risk of #COVID19 hospitalization and death in half IS NOT GOOD NEWS, but a demonstration of #BigPharma murky business, or in the case of #Merck, #MerckyBusiness.
If you believe, for example, @DrEricDing, a senior fellow of the Federation of American Scientists, it is time to open our Champagne bottles. An antiviral drug can cut hospitalization and death in half in a randomized trial. Finally!

#MERCKyBusiness
It is such great news that the U.S. government already made an advance purchase of 1.7 million doses of the drug at a cost of $1.2 billion.

Great news, we are being told.

LET US LOOK AT THE FACTS.

La réalité, est qu'il y avait un contrat sur sa tête, car elle devenait extrêmement dangereuse pour TOUTES les industries dites BigPharmas, surtout celles impliquées dans les vaccins.

📺 Conférence de Brandy Vaughan, une ancienne employée de Merck.

Brandy Vaughan, 47 ans, ancienne employée de Merck a été retrouvée morte chez elle par son fils de 10 ans.

Elle est morte en quelques heures, et n'a pas appelé les secours.
La thèse officielle est que son décès serait lié à une pathologie chronique de la vésicule biliaire, personnellement, je n'y crois pas.

Elle commence à travailler pour l'entreprise pharmaceutique Merck en 2000 en tant qu'avocate pour propulser la vente du Vioxx.

Por si alguien tiene dudas: "ni un solo estudio publicado ha demostrado que los pacientes con una infección previa se beneficien de la vacunación Covid-19." Drs. Ladapo (UCLA), Dr. Risch (Yale) wsj.com/articles/are-c…
El artículo del #WSJ es muy simple. Alerta sobre la cantidad de #eventosadversos que se informan "a tasas elevadas en los días inmediatamente posteriores a la vacunación"...
Con honestidad, los autores señalan que la seguridad de cualquier medicamento, incluidas las vacunas, se prueba al aplicarlo masivamente. Y recuerdan los daños en la salud que se produjeron con #pandemrix, #vioxx y otros medicamentos

Hello, @broderick - Are you aware #HHS hasn't delivered a #vaccine safety study report in 31 years? That since 1986 it's been illegal to sue #BigPharma for #vaccines injury? That US Govt. (taxpayers!) paid >$4Billion in damages for vax injuries since then?

2/ As the #globalism reporter, do you have any qualms about market forces no longer pressuring #BigPharma to get #vaccines right? Surely you know how often they’ve been caught doing duplicitous, human-hurting things—#Opioids, #Vioxx, #AIDS-tainted blood, etc. @broderick
3/ How about #BigPharma being the biggest #lobby in #DC? One of the top advertisers in corporate media? That weird revolving door at #CDC/#HHS? Might that influence politicians and journalists? Set off any alarm bells? Anything make you go "hmmmm"? #vaccines @broderick
