QROT-039: Initial Revelations from an Insider
Jan 10, 2022, 07:02 AM
(This is the first of what will be a series of episodes analyzing and emphasizing information John Abramson, a guest on JRE, gave about the medical industry.)
In this initial episode, we discuss how companies are allowed to bury basic safety and efficacy data and only have to present a summary, that peer reviewers must generally take their word for.
An I.T. / public sector analogy for this, to emphasize the kind of weakness in auditing this really presents.
Calling the bluff on this idea that the safety data is "proprietary". It is no more "proprietary" than when the CIA redacts whole pages that are really just about their findings of facts of the investigation that they want to hide. "Sensitive" or "national security" is identities of agents, or their location, or protocols of the intelligence field. It is NOT merely what their investigation found, just because they don't want people to know or they're embarrassed by those found facts.
Mention also, though covered in another episode, that Abramson verifies what has been stated here and on Kimology 411 many times - something "new" can be approved despite being no more effective than a simple and effective solution, and there is no limit of what they can bill for the "new" thing that is no more effective than the old thing.
Also, a bit of analysis / praise for JRE, and my opinion that it is in a way the new version of the best aspects of a legendary broadcast A.M. radio show.
