From Article #4: Dr. Vinay Prasad, an oncologist and medical ethicist at the Oregon Health and Science University. “The system is broken, and all the financial incentives are lined up to keep it broken.”

It's a shame that it took COVID-19 for me to realize just how hopelessly broken the system is, and unfortunately, the corruption of the FDA/Big Pharma is just one example of the regulatory capture that infects our entire government.

Love that you out all this crap. I stopped using any pharma years ago. I'm 68, pretty darn healthy, still work, and it's heavy laborious work, and my go to modalities are homeopathy, osteopathy and herbal medicines. TCM fascinates me but there are no practitioners near me. I do read and have books on TCM and the food as medicine I dabble with. I had a doc who is now retiring and according to him me & hubby are the only 2 over 50 y.o. patients not taking a single pharmaceutical in his county wide practice! He even said to me that pharma is corrupt and he thought I was doing the right thing, yet it bugged me that he would treat patients allopathically with pharma. If a physician knows he's using unethical methods, he needs to go back to school, and learn alt modalities and hang a different shingle. I imagine money is the driving force. It is beyond sad.
