Episode 01: Professor Peter C Gøtzsche is a medical researcher who co-founded the Cochrane Collaboration in 1993 and was expelled from it after a show trial. He has published over 100 articles in the “big five” medical journals and several books about the corruption of science. Filmmaker Janus Bang interviews Professor emeritus Peter C Gøtzsche who explains that big pharma’s business model is organised crime; that our drugs are the third leading cause of death; that drug approval is a broken system that protects the drug industry rather than the patients; that many deaths are missing in published reports; that The Cochrane Collaboration, once a trusted scientific organisation, employed the wrong man as CEO in 2012 who destroyed the organisation and expelled one of its most respected scientists because of his criticism of psychiatry after a secret show trial; that censorship in medical publishing has increased; that Cochrane threw the researcher that showed facemasks don’t work under the bus; and why Cochrane now seems to be a slowly dying institution.
