Sickening

Book • 2022
John Abramson's "Sickening" exposes the hidden truths within the pharmaceutical industry.

Abramson, a Harvard professor and medical doctor, reveals how drug companies manipulate data and influence research to maximize profits, often at the expense of patient safety.

The book delves into the process of peer review, highlighting how reviewers receive sanitized data, hindering their ability to assess the true risks and benefits of medications.

Abramson uses case studies, including the Vioxx scandal, to illustrate the devastating consequences of this system.

Ultimately, "Sickening" serves as a call for greater transparency and accountability in the pharmaceutical industry.
