The Criminal Censorship Of Ivermectin By The High Impact Medical Journals - Part 2Although Pharma got the high-impact journals to reject all positive ivermectin study submissions, they first got them to retract already published papers despite zero evidence of fraud. Unprecedented.

Dr. Marcia Angell, a former long-time editor in Chief of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) resigned in June of 2000 after twenty years in the post. She resigned because of what she described as the rising and indefensible influence being exerted by Pharma at the prestigious journal and its powerful affiliate societies. So she wrote a book about it instead. Some really important quotes of hers from “The Truth About Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It” are:
“Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit,
big Pharma uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers and the medical profession itself.”
“
It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.”
“
In 2003, the profits of the top 10 big Pharma exceeded that of the cumulative profits of the other 490 Fortune 500 Companies.”
Dr. Relman, another former editor-in-chief of the NEJM said this, also 20 years ago:
“
The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, not only in terms of the practice of medicine, but also in terms of teaching and research.
The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry. I think it’s disgraceful.”
Richard Horton, editor in chief of The Lancet said this in 2015:
“The case against science is straightforward:
much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue.”
As Dr. Aseem Malhotra (one of the most prominent physician COVID truth tellers that has remained employed) recently tweeted a quote from an interview he did:
“We have a wealth of evidence of the fraud that’s been committed by the pharmaceutical industry over the years’
‘the real scandal is that doctors & medical journals collude with industry for financial gain & the regulator fails to prevent misconduct by industry.”
