Big Pharma has come under fire in recent years for its questionable practices, and now, new undercover footage has revealed even more lies and deceit from the industry.
In Episode 2471 of the podcast “The HighWire with Del Bigtree,” investigative journalist James Corbett joins Del to discuss the results of his undercover investigation into the practices of Big Pharma. Corbett and his team infiltrated the industry and uncovered evidence of bribery, kickbacks, and manipulation of clinical trials.
The team uncovered contracts that showed how Big Pharma companies were paying doctors to promote their drugs and to push them on patients, even when the drugs were not necessarily the best treatment option. Corbett also found evidence of kickbacks to doctors who prescribed certain drugs and of Big Pharma companies manipulating clinical trial results to make their drugs look more effective than they actually were.
The team also found evidence that Big Pharma companies were paying off journalists to write favorable stories about their drugs, and of doctors being paid to speak at conferences and give lectures that promoted Big Pharma’s drugs.
The results of Corbett’s investigation are shocking and disturbing, and they demonstrate the lengths to which Big Pharma will go to increase their profits. It is clear that the industry needs to be held accountable and that more oversight is needed to ensure that patient safety is not compromised.
It is also important to remember that Big Pharma is not the only industry engaging in these practices. Corbett’s investigation shows that these tactics are used across many industries, and it is important to be aware of them and to take steps to protect ourselves and our families.
The findings of Corbett’s investigation are a wake-up call for us all, and it is important to listen to the evidence and to take action to ensure that we are not being taken advantage of by unscrupulous industries.
