Résumé
The inside story of how Big Pharma’s relentless pursuit of ever-higher profits corrupts medical knowledge―misleading doctors, misdirecting American health care, and harming our health.The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries―yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world.

For example, one of pharma’s best-kept secrets is that the peer reviewers charged with ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the clinical trial reports published in medical journals do not even have access to complete data and must rely on manufacturer-influenced summaries. Likewise for the experts who write the clinical practice guidelines that define our standards of care.The result of years of research and privileged access to the inner workings of the U.S. medical-industrial complex, Sickening shines a light on the dark underbelly of American health care―and presents a path toward genuine healthcare reform.Sickening is a master class in the fight for our health, revealing:The Medical-Industrial Complex: How corporations fund, control, and conceal the results from clinical trials, turning vital health data into proprietary secrets.Drug Industry Deceptive Tactics: The shocking truth that the peer reviewer
