Chapter transcript
  1. 00:42:46 and then financial conflicts of interest like everywhere.
  2. 00:42:50 Beginning of this year,
  3. 00:42:52 the New England Journal published an absolutely horrific article where they
  4. 00:42:57 concluded that only clinical trial data has any validity and anecdotal data or
  5. 00:43:03 empirical real-world evidence is not to be used to set medical standard of care.
  6. 00:43:09 The clinical trials is a big part of the content of the New England Journal.
  7. 00:43:12 Jeff Drazen,
  8. 00:43:13 when he became the editor,
  9. 00:43:16 said that he wanted to move the journal toward publishing more basic science and more clinical trials.
  10. 00:43:22 He thought there was too heavy an emphasis on epidemiology,
  11. 00:43:26 observational research.
  12. 00:43:27 I trust the New England Journal of Medicine.
  13. 00:43:29 That's my journal.
  14. 00:43:31 It's like it's corrupt.
  15. 00:43:33 That's what the insiders have said.
  16. 00:43:35 The whole thing is a pile of crap.
  17. 00:43:37 A journal that has to pay its editors and its editorial staff and so on,
  18. 00:43:42 that can't make all of its money on article submission fees,
  19. 00:43:45 has to raise money and does it by advertising and becomes addicted to the advertising.
  20. 00:43:50 And once that happens,
  21. 00:43:51 which happens fairly quickly,
  22. 00:43:52 the publisher of the journal has to kowtow to the interests of pharma and those interests are very clearly expressed and feed down into the editors themselves.
  23. 00:44:01 And Horton at Lancet and Marsha Angel at New England
  24. 00:44:03 Journal all talked about this in their books and comments
  25. 00:44:06 about the effects of pharma on medical publishing.
  26. 00:44:09 The randomized placebo-controlled trial is in fact the gold standard.
  27. 00:44:13 We have a whole vast medical literature that that was not the standard.
  28. 00:44:17 So why is it suddenly the standard now?
  29. 00:44:19 All of the evidence needs to go into this discussion,
  30. 00:44:22 not just a shibboleth of randomized controlled trials.
  31. 00:44:25 The drug companies oftentimes do the clinical trial that doesn't answer the clinical question.
  32. 00:44:31 The physician will want to know,
  33. 00:44:33 "Is your drug better than the drug I'm using now?" But in order to get FDA approval,
  34. 00:44:38 the company will do a placebo-controlled trial,
  35. 00:44:41 assuming that it's ethical to do that.
  36. 00:44:43 And so they don't answer the question the doctor really wants them to answer.
  37. 00:44:47 Questions like,
  38. 00:44:48 "Despite a 5.9 billion dollar budget,
  39. 00:44:51 why isn't Dr.
  40. 00:44:52 Fauci able to provide us with a study that shows whether or not
  41. 00:44:55 hydroxychloroquine works early in tandem with zinc and Z-Pak?"
  42. 00:44:59 Practicing physicians are going to rely on review
  43. 00:45:02 articles in the New England Journal of Medicine,
  44. 00:45:05 not realizing that they're actually written by the company.
  45. 00:45:10 The clinical trial system is maybe broken,
  46. 00:45:14 is too strong a term,
  47. 00:45:15 but it's definitely underperforming.
  48. 00:45:19 All the negative papers that have appeared showing hydroxychloroquine doesn't work demonstrate profound ignorance in the pathology of COVID-19 as a disease.
  49. 00:45:29 Relying on a so called theoretical randomized controlled trial is a red herring because that is not the way the FDA works,
  50. 00:45:36 it is not the way scientists work,
  51. 00:45:37 it is not the way anybody works in real world.
  52. 00:45:40 Well of course hydroxychloroquine,
  53. 00:45:42 as we've said before,
  54. 00:45:43 is very cheap.
  55. 00:45:44 Big Pharma does not make its money on cheap generics,
  56. 00:45:47 but they do give a lot of money to NIH,
