I thought this was interesting. He talks about how unflattering data doesn't get published, when it could provide an warning signs for future prescription drugs. When ignored it causes people to be misled with not enough information about what they are putting in their bodies which in some cases caused death.
This is research fraud, because they only give out the
information that they want us to know - the results that only gave the
results that they wanted.
Who gains from this? Are they only motivated by accolades and money? Do they not care about the people who will take their medication?

I find this very disturbing! As someone who has wanted to work in the medical field my whole life, it is very disappointing that people are able to hide vital information concerning the safety of a drug to those potentially taking it. I see this as a huge flaw in our society.
