Big Pharma is the preeminent force in healthcare. It controls medical schools,
medical research, medical journals, medical certification, continuing medical
education, health insurance, and health policy. Big Pharma indoctrinates
physicians, patients, and governments with a pharmaceutical orthodoxy that
excommunicates all non-believers as sinners, heretics, and lunatics. In order to
liberate healthcare and promote scientific progress, Big Pharma should fund
independent, ongoing research into its excessive influence over healthcare. But
let’s not hold our breath waiting for this to happen.
