Rx Disaster

[Guest guest]

.. . . conflicts of interest have become widespread throughout clinical research

in medicine, says Abramson, who spent two years as a Robert Wood Johnson Fellow

learning to analyze and criticize research articles. " Seventy percent of

clinical research is now funded by drug companies, " he says. " Most clinical

research is fundamentally commercial activity-albeit cloaked in the guise of

public service-designed to maximize corporate profits. " Commercialization as

well as omissions and obfuscations like the absolute/relative risk comparison

have produced a world in which " Doctors have to base their clinical decisions on

scientific evidence, but the fundamental nature of that scientific evidence has

changed-it has become more like infomercials than objective science. "
