Podcasts about Bad Pharma

This week, we're joined by Ben Goldacre, a renowned doctor, academic, author, and journalist. His books include “Bad Science” and “Bad Pharma,” among others, and he is currently a Professor of Evidence-Based Medicine at University of Oxford. There, he runs the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science which aims to pioneer the better use of data, evidence and digital tools in healthcare and policy. Patrick and Ben discuss Join Patrick and Ben for an open conversation about Ben's choice to step back from the public eye and the power of the OpenSAFELY platform to improve security, transparency and analysis of Electronic Health Records.

“If you want to reduce suffering and death, you don't do that by depositing a PDF in a journal archive that gets read by eight people. You've got to go out there in the real world, you've got to change activity and behaviour.”  In this week's episode of The G Word, Chris Wigley is joined by Ben Goldacre, Director of TheDataLab at Oxford University, author and and lead on an upcoming review about better use of NHS data. He discusses the use and safety of data, his book Bad Pharma and OpenSAFELY. He also talks about his early career and connecting data.   

A special episode featuring doctor, academic, writer, and broadcaster Ben Goldacre. The author of Bad Pharma, Bad Science and other titles, Ben's books have sold over 600,000 copies – and his TED talks have had over 4 million views.Ben now runs the Data Lab at Oxford University, working with a multi-disciplinary team of academics, healthcare providers and software developers. Last year, just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit, your donations helped us support the Open Safely project that Ben and his colleagues pulled together amazingly rapidly. It's been hugely influential in transforming the way health records are analysed by researchers – and had immediate impact in helping the UK government make decisions about how to respond to the pandemic.As well as getting to know Ben a little better, we'll also be asking him to take on our 60 second challenge. Can he explain the world of health data analysis in language so simple a nine year old can understand it?

In this episode Athena talks about some recent conspiracy facts related to many different pharmaceutical companies. We also talk about the recent resignations over at the FDA and some Fauci Fuckery.

Randy's words from a website about Armour porcine thyroid: I, too, was doing great on Armour. No more. They put me on levothyroxine [synthetic T4] and Cytomel [synthetic T3]. I felt awful, so depressed...Drugmakers fake and suppress their studies. Knoll Pharmaceuticals, the Synthroid maker, hid one showing that their drug was no better than the other thyroids. Knoll paid more than $100 million to consumers after the ensuing class-action lawsuit settled in 2000. Later, the pharmaceutical companies sponsored over ten bogus studies that purported to show porcine thyroid was no improvement over T4. Each trial used only 1/2 grain of the pork thyroid (30 mg), even though the proper dose is one to two grains (60-120 mg) or more (about the same as .075 to .15 mg of T4). Each study concluded that the tiny dose of pig thyroid did not work. With these doses, of course, it could never work. This type of false comparison is a routine strategy used by drugmakers to get FDA approval or to run down a competitor. For more, see Ben Goldacre's Bad Pharma (2012) and my FDA chapter here.There have been claims that the porcine thyroid manufacturing is faulty, and that this makes it inferior to Synthroid, the branded T4. However, Synthroid was recalled ten times between 1991 and 1997. This involved over 100 million tablets. The FDA requires T4 to fall within 5% of its stated potency, but most samples analyzed had far less active ingredient and some had none. Because many patients need thyroid to survive, there were hospitalizations. In 2001, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning that they might pull Synthroid from the market. There were also two recalls in 2012-13 involving issues with potency, stability, and manufacturing. See Mary Shomon's website for references, including the FDA letter documenting the story. This link is offline and may have been suppressed by special interests. I had to search for it on the Wayback Machine internet archive (archive.org). Physicians have used porcine thyroid for over a century. It was first approved by the FDA in 1939. In Thailand, it is an over-the-counter supplement. I could find only three recalls for this desiccated pig thyroid, including one started by the manufacturer in 2020 for a 13 percent drop in potency. This might have gone unnoticed, but since thyroid strength is critical, they were doing the right thing.T4 has been available since 1927 without a formal FDA evaluation. It was given “grandfather” status in 1938 because it was assumed to be equivalent to porcine thyroid, which was considered the “gold standard.” The Synthroid brand finally passed a perfunctory FDA review in Support the show (https://paypal.me/dryohoauthor?locale.x=en_US)

Den amerikanska läkemedelsmarknaden är hårt ansatt av en allt mer enig opinion. 80 procent av väljarna har angett att sänkta medicinpriser är huvudfrågan inför det stundande presidentvalet och bolagen hotas av kraftiga reformer och ett rubbat status quo. I bakgrunden finns ett faktum att amerikaner betalar multum för sina mediciner. Det är en konsekvens av frihetsivran med hoppet ställt till en öppen kapitalism - idéer som gått i baklås när de kombinerats med häftiga patentlängder och fri prissättning. Men vad är det som väntar för branschen, som täljt guld med fällkniv i den gigantiska USA-marknaden, och hur direkt är hotet egentligen? Både Republikanernas president Donald Trump och Demokraternas mest trolige kandidat, Joe Biden, har lyft att det dysfunktionella systemet inom kort ska ses över. Men vad händer om socialiststämplade Bernie Sanders spurtar i mål som segrare med löften om att krossa girigheten och den fortsatt helt legala korruption som kringgärdar Big Bad Pharma? En alternativ utveckling är att opinionens vindar vänder, och att läkemedelsbranschen tragikomiskt nog plötsligt sitter med trumf på hand. Jakten på ett vaccin mot en global pandemi blir allt mer bråd och läkemedelsbolagen har ju alltid hävdat att de är beroende av sina höga marginaler för att forska fram botemedel till svåra sjukdomar och epidemier. Det här är FollowTheMoney, en podcast om makt, storfinans och svenska börsen av och med Nyhetsbyrån Direkts utrikesredaktör Joakim Rönning och programledaren Martin Nilsson.

Dr. Steven Novella joins the Fishes to talk about the follies of Big Pharma and the conspiracy theories swirling around it. Are cures really less profitable than long term treatment? Can you even keep a cure a secret in this day and age? And why are people resorting to conspiracies to answer questions addressed in just about any book about medicine and biology?

Ben Goldacre says that greater transparency on research findings could increase the public's faith in essential medicines. ShutterstockWe are living in a time where we have greater access to lifesaving medicines and treatments than ever before. But we’re also seeing a surge in the rejection of the medical research and the scientific community in general, with anti-vaccination activists and climate change sceptics building followings and taking seats in government. How do we bridge the divide to those who have lost trust in science? Dr Ben Goldacre – epidemiologist, columnist and author of the books Bad Pharma and Bad Science – believes that greater transparency around the data used in research and better communication of results is the answer. And he thinks the public can understand a lot more about scientific research than either the media or academia gives them credit for. The University of New South Wales’ Dr Darren Saunders spoke to Dr Goldacre about his first forays into writing about science for The Guardian, his current project exploring reporting practices in medical journals and why he believes science communication is the answer.

Dr Ben Goldacre – author of the bestsellers Bad Science and Bad Pharma – dissects what is wrong with modern medicine and argues for better evidence-based medicine in this podcast. He describes his latest projects, including an Ebola trials tracker, to improve the transparency of clinical trials. Dr Goldacre explains his research at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences’ Centre for Evidence-based Medicine, part of Oxford University. He also refers to structural challenges facing medicine and highlights the lack of funding for evidence-based projects. The self-confessed ‘stats geek’, who studied medicine at Magdalen College at Oxford University, describes how he was inspired by his enthusiastic tutors during his studies. The doctor, academic, campaigner and writer also counsels against so-called miracle cures.

Ben Goldacre, author of Bad Science and Bad Pharma, shares his views on Open Data and discusses his involvement in projects created in the spirit of openness.

Even with Adam away, TRC delivers!  Cristina blows in with an interesting breakdown of the Wind Chill Index, while Darren probes the book “Bad Pharma” by British physician and academic Ben Goldacre.  Finally, Pat flushes out the truth behind why bottled water has an expiration date.  

Dr. Ben Goldacre is the author of two excellent books, Bad Pharma and Bad Science, but he didn’t show up for this episode so there’s not much point telling you more about him. So, Bryan and Hunter just had a conversation the same way they would if a famous author/doctor wasn’t around…because he wasn’t. This episode features Bryan and Hunter talking a lot about Bad Pharma—because it really is an excellent book—and then more generally about the scientific method, how much regulation of the pharmaceutical industry is optimal and what exactly is going on inside Bryan’s pants. We’d actually really recommend both Bad Pharma and Bad Science. We’d also love to interview Dr. Ben, so send him a tweet and ask him to come on The Bryan Callen Show. @bengoldacre. Paging, Dr. Ben. Paging, Dr. Ben. Your presence is requested on The Bryan Callen Show.

Influenza causes up to five million cases of severe illness and half a million deaths globally every year. Yet, as Adam Rutherford finds out, our current vaccination strategy is a seasonal game of chance, based on guessing the strain that will appear next. Research published this week in Science Translational Medicine, by a team from Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, offers hope for a universal flu vaccine, based on newly discovered antibodies.Earlier this week, a game to help combat ash dieback was launched on Facebook, called Fraxinus. Reporter Gaia Vince looks at the growing trend for using games to solve scientific problems. Is this new way of gathering and analysing data changing the way science is done?Currently half of all clinical trials are not published worldwide. Adam talks to Ben Goldacre, author of Bad Pharma, about his new campaign 'AllTrials', which aims to change that.Finally this week, physicist Peter Barham shows us his instrument - a spy camera system that he's designed to recognise penguins.

"Medicine is broken," warns Ben Goldacre, the British physician, academic, author of the Guardian's Bad Science column. In this live episode of Rationally Speaking, Massimo and Julia interview Ben about his new book, Bad Pharma, and how the evidence about pharmaceutical drugs gets distorted due to shoddy regulations, missing data, and the influence of drug companies.
