The pharmaceutical industry is dangerous to health. Further proof with COVID-19

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 period highlights a huge problem that has been developing for decades, the control of science by industry. In the 1950s, the tobacco industry set the example, which the pharmaceutical industry followed. Since then, the latter has been regularly condemned for illegal marketing, misrepresentation of experimental results, dissimulation of information about the dangers of drugs, and considered as criminal. Therefore, this study was conducted to show that knowledge is powerfully manipulated by harmful corporations, whose goals are: 1/financial; 2/to suppress our ability to make choices to acquire global control of public health. Methods: Pharmaceutical industry techniques for manipulating science and COVID-19 reporting were reviewed. Several sources of official documents were used: PubMed; National Institutes of Health resources; pharmaceutical companies; policy documents; national newspapers and news agencies; and books by prominent professionals (scientific and legal). A few studies have not been published in peer-reviewed journals; however, they have been conducted by reputable scientists in their respective fields. Results: Since the beginning of COVID-19, we can list the following methods of information manipulation which have been used: falsified clinical trials and inaccessible data; fake or conflict-of-interest studies; concealment of vaccines’ short-term side effects and total lack of knowledge of the long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccination; doubtful composition of vaccines; inadequate testing methods; governments and international organizations under conflicts of interest; bribed physicians; the denigration of renowned scientists; the banning of all alternative effective treatments; unscientific and liberticidal social methods; government use of behavior modification and social engineering techniques to impose confinements, masks, and vaccine acceptance; scientific censorship by the media. Conclusion: By supporting and selecting only the one side of science information while suppressing alternative viewpoints, and with obvious conflicts of interest revealed by this study, governments and the media constantly disinform the public. Consequently, the unscientifically validated vaccination laws, originating from industry-controlled medical science, led to the adoption of social measures for the supposed protection of the public but which became serious threats to the health and freedoms of the population.

Conflict of interest and funding in health communication on social media: a systematic review

“…Future research should explore the impact of COI in social media on the perceptions, beliefs and behaviours of their users. Despite the extent of misinformation, and disinformation on social media during the COVID-19 pandemic,27 no study has assessed the prevalence of COI in that context. Interestingly, one study found a correlation between the amounts received by academic infectious diseases physicians from Gilead Sciences, producer of remdesivir and their public opposition to the use of hydroxychloroquine 28.…”

The politics and ethics of academia in the Covid-19 era: A view from Canada

“…This claim overlooks centuries-long evidence that the major declines in mortality by such diseases have been due not to mass vaccination but to improvements in nutrition, sanitation, and other social determinants of health [122][123][124][125] . It also overlooks historical and current evidence of grossly inadequate safety testing of vaccines 126 , of the conflicts of interest corrupting the vaccine "approval" process 127 , and of mounting vaccine injuries 128,129 . In sum, despite very high vaccination rates in their midst, academic institutions have consistently framed "vaccine hesitancy" and "uptake" as problems, a position, as we have argued, untenable on scientific, legal, and ethical grounds.…”
