A History of Corruption and Abuse
The following are just a few of the many articles, papers, and books that describe the corruption and abuse that has long been part of the medical and scientific research communities in the United States, and internationally, at the highest levels. These are the same agencies and companies that develop, mandate, promote, and regulate vaccines.
- Tuskegee syphilis experiment
Conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service (oversees CDC and NIH) This study recruited 600 black men, of which 399 were diagnosed with syphilis and 201 were a control group without the disease. The researchers never obtained informed consent from the men and never told the men with syphilis that they were not being treated [penicillin was the cure] but were simply being watched until they died and their bodies examined for ravages of the disease. The study ended after 40 years only because it was leaked to the press and there was a public outcry.
- Willowbrook Hepatitis Experiments

The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry. I think it’s disgraceful.
“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue”
- Dr. Angell, another former editor and editor-in-chief of the NEJM (New England Journal of Medicine said this in 2002:
It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor
- Detailed articles exposing the corruption between the pharmaceutical companies and various governments internationally: Part III
In contrast to tobacco funded research, which is comparatively rare, two thirds of the clinical trials published in major journals such as the Lancet or New England Journal of Medicine are funded by the drug industry. In addition, companies use ghost writers to promote misleading trials in scores of secondary publications and reviews in major journals. These, just like the original research, often carry the names of opinion leaders, which seems to give the articles credibility. This common practice is scientific fraud.
