I've added a section about the FDA investigating itself would be a conflict of interest.

Hi Steve! Two things. First there was a whistleblower about 20 years ago who was a Pfizer executive. He wrote a book that I believe is one of the best summaries I've seen of the internal culture at Pfizer. It has been on my todo list to write something on it.

Second:

I did a lot of digging on what happened with the SSRI anti depressants and on a lot of levels, I believe what happened with them serves as a perfect precedent for what has happened with the COVID vaccines.

Very briefly:

•There was massive evidence of fraud throughout the clinical trials for them.

•George HW Bush was in bed with Prozac's manufacturer and got the FDA to approve it despite the fact they never should.

•A large public outcry built up towards them because a lot of people were having horrific injuries to them.

•A ton of lawsuits forced the manufacturers to reveal that they had been covering everything up and the antidepressants were extremely dangerous.

•Once the FDA approved them, they did everything possible to cover up what was going for decades, including silencing and punishing whitstleblowers from the HSS.

•Congressional and senate hearings occurred.

•It took 2 decades of work to get the FDA to be willing to put a blackbox on the SSRIs but nothing else has been done since then.

•In my opinion, these medications have harmed more people (not counting vaccinated children which so hard to put an estimate on) than anything else on the market besides the COVID vaccines.

I believe understanding the history of all of this is really important for the current situation.

The article I put together on it can be read here: https://amidwesterndoctor.substack.com/p/how-the-fda-buried-the-dangers-of?s=w
