Pfizer apologized to UK regulators for breaching conduct codes by promoting unlicensed drugs and making misleading claims. The same week, cancer rates spiked among young people. The speaker wonders if these stories connect to something larger no one is reporting.
Chapters
So these two things happened in the same week, and you tell me if it's a coincidence. Pfizer apologized to the Prescription Medicine Code of Practice Authority in the UK after a committee said they breached code of conduct. Also, the American Association for Cancer Research said that cancer rates are flying through the roof for young people. Here is the details on both. The five things the committee complained about about a certain medication. I think you know which one I'm talking about. Breach of clause number two: bringing discredit upon and reducing confidence in the pharmaceutical industry because we had so much confidence in them. Breach of clause three point one: promoting an unlicensed medicine. Breach of Clause 7.2: making a misleading claim. Breach of Clause 7.9: making claims that did not reflect the available evidence regarding possible adverse reactions. Breach of Clause 9.1: failing to maintain high standards. So Pfizer said, we're sorry, got a slap on the wrist, and it went away. So what happened with the other half of the story with the American Association for Cancer Research? Well, they're trying to figure out why all these young people are getting cancer. What did they conclude after their academics and scientists researched everything they could possibly research? Young people are aging faster and fat. I wonder if putting these 2 stories together creates a 3rd story that we haven't been told yet.
