Cochrane Founder Peter Gøtzsche: Healthcare is Much More Corrupt Than People Think – The Daily Sceptic
"Healthcare is much more corrupt than people think, and industry money goes everywhere, to politicians, medical journals, newspapers etc.," says Cochrane co-founder Professor Peter Gøtzsche.
Ok this is kinda fascinating as it fleshes out the Cochrane analyses. I was surprised that they were reported on so respectfully in the media.

It looks like pre-pandemic they were able to infiltrate Cochrane and kick Gotzsche out.
Yep. Looks like Cochrane has been infected by the rot too.
It’s all about profits not a patient’s health/wellness, it seems.
Yep. I’ve heard from several former and retired Doctor and nurses who worked for previously well regarded local/Regional Nursing Homes and Hospitals that were previously owned either by smaller local companies or private local holding firms. And were later bought out by Private Equity and National Holding Companies under at least in their words Hostile takeovers and or suspicious circumstances. And went down the toilet in terms of quality
They went from prioritizing the Health and Safety of Patients and Staff. And ensuring they were only attracting and hiring the best via attractive benefits packages.
To slashing staffing numbers, slashing benefits packages, and prioritizing providing expensive difficult/dangerous procedures. Without exhausting other all other potential safer and cheaper options as far as patient treatment went. Supposedly one of the local Nursing Homes that got bought up, at least according to the nurse I spoke to, went as far as employing an actual Herbalist to experiment with Herbal remedies for Residents. As opposed to using pharmaceuticals for every health problem. People with ethical concerns on the change were let go by the companys.
It’s a reoccurring theme. Across the Medical Field. And really Economy in general. Companies that are content with modest profits and seek to prioritize the wellbeing of the average person and are actually amazing places to work. Are bought out by a giant corporation/Private Equity Firm.
And are either run into the ground deliberately so the Firm can make more money on parsing out it’s assets. Or become horrendous places where the dollar is king and people, both employees and the public, are just numbers on spreadsheets to be used and thrown away. In pursuit of making numbers on a chart go up as quickly as possible as soon as possible. Even at the cost of long term company health.
Just one example, Run-Death-Is-Near is STILL the protocol for hospitalized Covid patients locally.
Page won’t open. I wonder why
Kinda like dividing by zero I guess? How do you get, "50% more corrupt than totally corrupt" already?
"Health care" - absolutely no health involved whatsoever... more like, dis-ease management and how to milk these fuckers to death, slow enough to maximize profit.
Should be called a healthy dose of don't care.... because they don't care about you at all... they never ask you what you're eating, unless peddling some cholesterol medication - which BTW low cholesterol intake linked to Alzheimer's and brain dysfunction, they sit there with their face in a fuckin laptop, barely present... it's total bs....
That's impossible
