"It's scary to see how many similarities there
Among this industry [Pharmaceutical] and the mafia.
The mafia makes obscene amounts of money, as this industry.
Side effects of organized crime and deaths are homicides,
And the side effects are the same in this industry.
Mafia bribed politicians and others,
And so does the pharmaceutical industry ... "
former Vice President
Pfizer Pharmaceuticals 1
If you believe that pharmaceutical companies have the health of the general public in high esteem, it is time to reconsider this.
The industry is full of examples of wrongful death, extortion, fraud, corruption, obstruction of justice, embezzlement, false magazines, harassment and blacklisting that would make even the godfather flush more accustomed mafia.
Big Pharma have been fined thousands of millions by the United States Department of Justice, but these huge fines do not stop corruption, is only seen as "the cost of doing business", similar to pay utilities.
As a physician and researcher, Peter C. Gøtzsche has firsthand experience with crime behind the pharmaceutical industry - and then he exposes the massive fraud "Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime - How Big Pharma has Corrupted Healthcare."

Perilous science
Dr. Gøtzsche has an impressive clinical background, such as the Nordic Cochrane Center said - a non-profit organization that produces reliable and accessible information health that is free of commercial sponsorship and other conflicts of interest:
Professor Peter C. Gøtzsche graduated as a Master of Science in biology and chemistry as a doctor in 1974 and 1984.He is a specialist in internal medicine, has worked with clinical trials and regulatory affairs in the drug industry 1975-1983, and 1984-1995 Copenhagen hospitals.With about 80 employees, he helped initiate the Cochrane Collaboration in 1993 with the founder, Sir Iain Chalmers, and established the Nordic Cochrane Center in the same year.In 2010 he became professor of Clinical Research Design and Analysis at the University of Copenhagen.
Peter has published more than 70 articles in "Big Five" (BMJ, Lancet, JAMA, Ann Intern Med and N Engl J Med) and scientific papers have been cited more than 15,000 times.
Peter is also author of:
Much of the academic career of Dr. Gøtzsche has focused on bias, tests and evidence synthesis.
In "Drugs Mortals and Organized Crime," Gøtzsche reveals corruption behind the exorbitant prices for brand name drugs, draws attention to the fact that drugs are not expensive because of the costs of development, but due to political pressure , marketing and excess profits.

Also it notes that many trials are nothing more than smoke and mirrors, where pharmaceutical companies organize research so that the best stocks and comparison groups are selected for the simple reason that support the preferred result of the company; they control the data and make analyzes in-house and hire professional writers to write papers.
Pharmaceutical companies then collect the results to meet your marketing needs, rather than what is in the best interest of patients.
Often, they are paid academics to be listed as contributors to the study, however, in reality, have access to very little information and can not corroborate the data.
According to Gøtzsche,
"The 'best' drugs may be just those with the openly biased data."
Moreover, Gøtzsche brings home the truth that pharmaceuticals are simply dangerous for a variety of reasons:
"Our prescription medications are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer in the United States and Europe.About half of those who die have taken their medications correctly; the other half die of errors such as too high a dose or using a drug despite contraindications.Our drug agencies are not particularly useful, since they depend on false corrections, which are a long list of warnings, cautions and contraindications of each drug, although they know that no doctor can possibly master the information of all these drugs.The main reasons why many drug deaths are incapable drug regulation, widespread crime including corruption of scientific evidence on drugs and bribery of doctors, and is in the marketing of drugs, which is so marketing harmful as snuff and, therefore, it should be prohibited.We should eat far fewer drugs, and patients should carefully study the prospects who bring drugs their doctors prescribe them and consult independent sources of information about drugs, such as Cochrane reviews, which will make it easier for them to say ' no, thank you '. " 2
Before Gøtzsche shrink the argument as a simple point of view of a man on a complex issue, consider tainted history of pharmaceutical giant Merck.
blacklisting, false Magazines, Harassment and money
During testimony in a case for action in Australia, emails between Merck employees have labels such as as "neutralize", "neutralized" or "discredit" next to the names of doctors who criticized the drug Vioxx .
One email said:
"We may have to seek them out and destroy them where they live ..."
The court was told that James Fries , professor of medicine at Stanford University, wrote to the head of Merck in October 2000, complaining of harassment that were receiving some members of his team who had criticized the drug.
"It was worse allegations Merck damage control by intimidation," he wrote."This has happened at least eight researchers (clinical) ... I suppose I myself was slightly threatened, but never spoke or wrote about these issues."
Leaping to 2001 and the company was still engaged in unethical tactics.
Merck apparently:
It produces a fake magazine 'peer' under the name of "Austral-Asian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine" for the sole purpose of marketing articles for Vioxx.
He published a magazine article written entirely by ghosts and made a doctor sign his name to it, even though Merck employee felt that the data presented were "illusory".
With this three - ring circus of corruption is conceived to become worse in the future, the American Medical Association (AMA) - at the right time - has introduced new guidelines essentially placed a gag order on any doctor who does not tow the line party, including those who speak against pharmaceuticals .
"There are a lot of disapproval among medical professionals when it comes to natural health, and many refuse to consider the idea that healing involves more than pharmaceutical chemicals.The Medical Association of America has recently put forth new guidelines:'They create ethical guidelines for physicians in the media, writing reports on how doctors can be disciplined for violating medical ethics through its participation in the press and release a public statement denouncing the spread of dubious medical information through radio, television, newspapers and / or websites', "said Dr. Edward Group, founder of Global Healing Center.
Incredibly, the AMA represents only 17% of doctors, many of whom are medical students who were given a free subscription.
And yet, the organization is the fifth special interest group most powerful on Capitol Hill, paying a staggering $ 19.7 million for lobbying efforts only in 2014.
