No More Tears: A Fascinating Book on J&J

Investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author Gardiner Harris joins the podcast to dive deep into his groundbreaking book, “No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson.” Harris recounts the extensive research and challenges behind uncovering how J&J—long regarded as a trusted “goliath” of American healthcare—played a far greater role in fueling the opioid epidemic than Purdue Pharma, a contribution he argues led to more than two million American deaths yet received a fraction of the public scrutiny. He discusses the pushback he faced while exposing the company’s practices, critiques how the FDA failed to act more decisively, and examines the intersection of profit, policy, and patient safety. The conversation also touches on the modern science and marketing of Tylenol, revealing how deep the influence of corporate power runs in shaping public health narratives.
