Pharma

Pharma articles offer sharp opinion and analysis of Big Pharma, exposing industry practices, regulatory capture, profit motives, and their impacts on economics, public policy, public health, social life, trust in medicine, and individual liberty.

We cover critical topics like Pfizer trial irregularities, vaccinology “big lies”, COVID vaccine cardiac risks, industry influence on regulation, ACIP decisions, medical journal failures, vaccine safety debates, and calls for accountability, transparency, and evidence-based reform.

All articles from Brownstone Institute are translated into multiple languages to reach global readers, foster international dialogue on pharmaceutical accountability, and challenge centralized industry power.

Currently, we are moving into phase 3, and before you know it, everyone will be getting injected with modified mRNA crap to ‘cure cancer’. Now don’t get me wrong, cancer is insidious and needs to be dealt with, but as I stated in my 5 minute short, cancer is almost entirely preventable (in the case of most cancers) and thus, resources should be spent on prevention, not stage 4 ‘cures’ based on novel gene-based pro-drugs that have a really bad safety profile as per the Covid-19 modified mRNA injectable product test run of late.

Illusions in Vaccine Effectiveness

Illusions in Vaccine Effectiveness

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The pseudo-effectiveness of Covid vaccines against death from unrelated causes is not a new observation. The same kind of pseudo-effectiveness was discovered long ago for the flu vaccines. It is called the “healthy vaccinee effect.” For various reasons, unrelated to the vaccines, people who are vaccinated have better background health (on average) than people who are not, and therefore, they are less likely to die from “anything,” including flu and Covid. Vaccinated or not, they would have had lower Covid mortality than their unvaccinated counterparts.

Children’s Health: By the Numbers

The strategy of forever adding chemical interventions is not without risks. It is not always known if a child is immunocompromised with the risk for a wrong intervention at the wrong time that could develop into a severe disease or become fatal. Nuances, dialogue, and shared decision-making may be a way to restore trust.

A Retired Physician's View of American Healthcare

A Retired Physician’s View of American Healthcare

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

In my opinion, the healthcare system in this country is currently on life support. The level of trust is lower than it’s been in at least 50 years and deservedly so. While many probably believe that the negative impact on the healthcare system’s reputation is based on the nation’s Covid response, I will endeavor to provide, from the perspective of a retired physician and patient, a roadmap that brings all of the elements of the healthcare system together to explain how the disastrous Covid response merely highlighted the rot, rather than being its cause.

Patents, Pharma, Government: The Unholy Alliance

Patents, Pharma, Government: The Unholy Alliance 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The unholy alliance between Big Pharma and the FDA and Federal Government is truly breathtaking to behold. Unfortunately, its nature is so arcane and obscure that only a few notice this, other than those who benefit from it and keep their lips shut. To unpack this we must explore a few separate but interrelated issues.

Mechanisms of Harm: Introduction

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

This report is not a medical study or conclusive document. It presents various ideas and concerns shared by so-called “Covid dissidents” who, from the beginning, were concerned that our pandemic response was causing more harm than Covid-19 itself. No doubt there are other relevant points, and points of view, that are missing from this collection, but it’s a start. My hope is that this book will lead to thoughtful consideration, fruitful conversations, and the pursuit of additional knowledge.

Perverse Incentives

Perverse Incentives

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

A perverse incentive is when the rules, structures, or practices of any system reward bad behavior or sociopathic outcomes. I had to come up with my own definition because all of the official definitions claim that perverse incentives are unintended. However, after the events of the last four years many of us have grown skeptical that the harms we experience from bad policy and bad law are unintentional.
