Drug company funded studies favor drugs more than non-profit studies says new report
In the May 17 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, a new study found that clinical drug trials funded by drug companies and other for-profit entities were more likely to report positive findings than similar trials funded by nonprofit groups. With pressure being put on the FDA to ensure safety of the public (their mandate for those who believe it's just to capitulate to drug company requests), studies like this show just how important this is, and how much the FDA is failing the American Public in their effort to boost up this multi-trillion dollar sector of the economy.
Hopefully, more studies like this will force groups like the FDA to support and work for We The People instead of their favorite lobbyists.
