W25-31 Big Pharma REPEAT
Class | This class is completed
Big Pharma is an expert at promoting fear of disease just so they can sell us hope. In this class we look behind the scenes to discover the disturbing truth about Big Pharma. We’ll examine conflicts of interest, deceptive ghostwritten articles in prestigious medical journals, “me too” drugs and fear-based media ads. Drugs in search of an illness, drug promotion meetings disguised as education programs, minimizing reports of side effects and disposal of negative studies. We’ll also examine how too many drugs, body scans and over-diagnoses can cause more harm than good.
Repeat from Winter 2020
