17 Ways to Smuggle Dangerous Drugs
Create Fake Medical Journals
Intimidate or discredit critical scientists
Found or infiltrate civic associations (e.g., Doctissimo)
Exhaust plaintiffs’ resources with endless litigation
Provide only favorable data to obtain market approval
Bribe doctors to conduct biased studies
Recruit prestigious professors to endorse false studies
Aggressively pressure pharmacists, doctors, and researchers
Bribe politicians and regulatory bodies (WHO, FDA, etc.)
Break serious side effects into minor symptoms to disguise dangers
Use ‘opinion leaders’ in media to sway public perception
Refuse to disclose study details citing ‘commercial secrecy’
Bombard the public with omnipresent advertising
Insert misleading propaganda in health magazines and media
Cut funding for scientists who speak out
Appoint collaborators as Health Ministers
Redefine disease symptoms to ‘prove’ vaccine/drug success
Exploitation in Developing Countries
Companies like Pfizer (Nigeria) and GSK (Latin America) have tested drugs illegally on vulnerable populations, often with full impunity.
The Bottom Line:
The portrait painted by these scandals is clear: pharmaceutical industry corruption and manipulation are systemic, global, and devastating. Awareness and vigilance are essential to protect ourselves from preventable harm.
