On climate change, but parallels the lobbying of @CanadianPM by #BigPharma, on drug #pricing controls:
“Almost every policy proposed to help..has been delayed or shelved b/c of the lobbying & influence of industry.”

The #OriginsOfCovid controversy has muddled the definitions of two terms:
Conflicts of interest

Truth.
Every #whistleblower in academic medicine (probably in all fields) finds this, ultimately, to be true.
One hears: “I need to protect my funding and position.”
Translation: “I need to protect my funding and position, so I can't tell the truth."

Anger more than disappointment this time round. The "poor pharma, they're working so hard to contain this pandemic, no time to understand the guidelines" excuse is wearing thin. @authenticallye, @ColleenFuller, @DrNancyOlivieri, @TerrieHendric17, @tessiesanci
Thanks @tessiesanci - you are absolutely right, there is a lot of anger and disappointment among independent voices who aren’t funded to be #Pharma’s echo chamber. @MA_Gagnon @DrNancyOlivieri @jc_currie @TerrieHendric17 @haronba @joel_lexchin @Jandelliott @CANinsulin4all

From the pandemic start, people have been dismissed as "conspiracy theorists" or "anti-vax" for asking about a lab leak.
But a Moderna vaccine company co-founder now says, "'I am convinced that the virus came out by accident from a laboratory in Wuhan." disinformationchronicle.subs…

Part of being an advocate is knowing when you are not in a state of mind/body/spirit/emotion to be on Twitter.

Great analysis by Terence Young, founder of Drug Safety Canada, to whom 🇨🇦 owes Vanessa’s Law.
"#BigPharma is the only major industry that never guarantees its products will work, and never gives anyone money back if they don’t work.”

Off label prescription of Zoloft for insomnia was the beginning of the end for my husband. 5 weeks later he was found hanging.
He wasn’t depressed nor had history of depression . Woody just started a new job and began having trouble sleeping.

Jeff Bezos' life during the pandemic:
- $78 billion richer
- commissioned a super-yacht
- is going to space
Amazon workers' lives:
- no hazard pay
- no paid sick leave
- spied on
- underpaid
On #PrimeDay, I say: enough is enough, Jeff. Treat your workers with dignity.

Throughout school, we learn arithmetic, biology, and how to read and write. But we don’t learn how to manage stress, understand our emotions, or connect the feelings in our bodies with the thoughts in our heads.

Investigative journalist @thackerpd reminds #pharmedoutconference2021 that #financial #influence in medical practice started outside #medicine with #tobacco industry and calls to address upstream #corporate influence on #scientific research.

Reading up on the lit re: conflict of interest (COIs), the distinction between financial versus 'non-financial' ones, it's very clear that @QuinnGrundy has assembled a significant body of scholarly work.
See for e.g.,

The fortress built around the insurance industry is about protecting IT not YOU and it has little to do with providing actual healthcare.

This is what happens when our drug regulators are funded by fees from drug companies. The FDA is around 60% phama-funded, the UK's MHRA is 100% funded. Until we have fully independent, science-led, regulation, what on earth can we expect?

Can we remove commercial influence on research? “Now is the time to put the scrutiny on big journals and their relationship with Pharma.” ~@raymoynihan
