Peter C Gøtzsche :大藥廠的商業模式是一種有組織的犯罪,深深地傷害了我們的人民

2013/09/02

實證醫學界的重量級人物 Peter C Gøtzsche 教授最近寫的一封信:

The EMA should continue its new openness policy despite current lawsuits

要求EMA提供更完整的臨床試驗數據,讓療效評估者得以詳細分析。其中有幾句話:

... it is clear that the business model of big pharma is organised crime, which is immensely harmful to our citizens. It is also true that drugs are the third leading cause of death in Europe and the United States, after heart disease and cancer, and that the lack of access to the clinical trial data to a considerable extent is responsible for this public health disaster.

中文翻譯:

清楚的是大藥廠的商業模式是一種有組織的犯罪,深深地傷害了我們的人民。同屬實情的是在美國及歐盟,藥物緊追在心臟病及癌症的後面,成為致死排行榜的第三名。該為這個大眾健康災難負責的正是因為無法獲得相當程度的臨床試驗數據。

不管是一般百姓或藥廠,對這幾句話都值得好好深思。台灣人吃藥比國外多了好幾倍,想一想吧。

那封信最後,是:We should not be afraid when people who engage in organised crime send their lawyers. We must all stand firmly behind the good cause we are defending.

大哉斯言!!
