Fraudulent and fake news
has always been circulated by the pharmaceutical companies in order to create a
demand for their products. Natural News reports that the whole
affair of medical fraud has been taken to a new level by Merck. It is reported
that two of Merck’s former employees have filed a complaint against the company
accusing it of marketing its multivalent MMR vaccines under false claims that they
had 95 percent efficiency rate. The two former Merck virologists have said that
the company’s authorities manipulated the test results of multivalent MMR
vaccines by including animal antibodies in human blood samples taken before as
well as after vaccination.
Another pharmaceutical
giant, GlaxoSmithKline, has been fined $3 billion for lying to the FDA,
fraudulent marketing process, hiding clinical data and above all, bribing
doctors. Through a nine year investigation on its activities, GlaxoSmithKline
has been proven t to be involved in a number of immoral and illegal practices.
The company has pleaded guilty too and has agreed to pay $1 billion in criminal
fines and an additional $2 billion in civil fines. It is also charged with
deceiving authorities regarding the effectiveness of its medicines which
ultimately helped it earn billions.
Government authorities
seem to be tireless in their effort of preventing the formation of any public
opinion against factory farms who are least concerned about the animals they
grow. A new law has been passed in many states paving the way for the
authorities to penalize those who report
malpractice at factory farms. Natural News reports that this new
law will only aggravate the cruelty towards animals in those farms and will
seriously compromise the issue of food safety. Though several organizations
have raised their voice against the law, it is uncertain to what extent the
authorities are going to pay attention to them.
