I paid a Swedish professor to increase the chances of accreditation of Prozac in Sweden. John Virapen Many drugs are put on the market, without any concern for the side effects that are not sufficiently controlled and that cause tens of thousands of deaths each year throughout the world. Great academics have devoted many studies to the cynical and scandalous perversions of the big global pharmaceutical companies, which are increasingly withdrawing from research on the major scourges (cancers, Alzheimer's, neurological, psychiatric, viral and parasitic diseases of the third world), for the almost exclusive benefit of creating huge artificial markets with immediate profitability, ensuring them exorbitant profits, three to four times higher than those of all other industries, without any benefit for health and the sick. They achieve this in two ways: first, by promoting molecules that are supposedly new, although not very innovative, simple copies of older drugs and some of which have already caused tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands of deaths; then, by arousing anxiety, therefore demand from the population and parents, inventing and promoting through frenzied marketing in all media diseases that do not exist (pre-hypertension, cholesterol, depression, hyperactivity in children, menstrual dysphoria, etc.) and for which they offer pseudo-medications, which are all the less likely to be effective since they have nothing to treat, but which are far from being safe. Jon Virapen, from British Guiana, with medical training and a former pop star, who became, in the 1980s, CEO for Sweden, then Central America, of the large American firm Eli Lilly, tells the story from the inside. His book is not a study, but a lived, direct and painful testimony, inhabited by remorse, guilt and revolt against a policy that through the dramas of Opren, Prozac, Vioxx and Strattera, he took years to understand and reject. It is therefore with documents in hand that he describes the internal functioning of these companies, the falsification of clinical studies of drugs, the secrecy and concealment of therapeutic accidents, systematically hidden from the control agencies, the organized disinformation and corruption of general practitioners by the medical visitors of the companies and even more, that of university experts infiltrated in state agencies and even that of politicians. This desperate and fascinating book attempts to prepare a better future for future generations, including the author's young son who will be found at the heart of this moving testimony.
