About this episode
This episode reveals how pharmaceutical companies manipulate clinical trials for profit at the expense of patient safety.
In today's episode we're pulling back the curtain on the "cottage industry" of pharmaceutical fraud. We explore how the gold standard of medical research - the Randomized Controlled Trial - is systematically manipulated to prioritize profit over patient safety. From "cherry-picking" ideal participants to using "spiked" placebos that mask dangerous side effects, we break down the specific tactics used to doctor data. We also examine the deep-seated conflicts of interest within regulatory agencies like the FDA. Finally, we provide actionable advice on how to spot biased research and find therapies that actually work.
