Podcast appearances and mentions of Katherine Eban

In this episode of Let's Combinate, host Subhi Saadeh, a seasoned quality professional, delves into the concept of 'everyone owns quality' and explains why this notion is flawed. Subhi recalls his eye-opening experience with Joanna Gallant's article on quality ownership and discusses the importance of clear accountability within organizations. The episode emphasizes that while all employees play a role in quality, true ownership lies with top management. Subhi also highlights regulatory frameworks like ISO 13485 and 21 CFR 820, noting how they mandate management's responsibility for quality systems. The discussion extends to real-world examples, including the Ranbaxy scandal, to illustrate the dire consequences of poor quality management. The episode concludes with a call to shift the mindset from 'everyone owns quality' to 'leadership owns quality.' 00:00 Introduction to Quality Ownership04:10 Regulatory Frameworks and Quality Management05:14 The Flaws in 'Everyone Owns Quality'06:45 Case Study: Ranbaxy Laboratories08:49 The Importance of a Strong Quality CulturePrevious Episodes:Joanna Gallant: https://www.letscombinate.com/076-gmp-training-competence-human-error-and-mentorship-with-joanna-gallant/Katherine Eban: https://www.letscombinate.com/115-bottle-of-lies-generic-drugs-quality-ranbaxy-audits-and-inspiring-quality-pros-with-nyt-be/Links: ICH Q10: https://database.ich.org/sites/default/files/Q10%20Guideline.pdfISO13485: https://www.iso.org/standard/59752.html21CFR820: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/chapter-I/subchapter-H/part-820/subpart-B/section-820.20BBC Article: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-22520953Bottle of Lies: https://www.amazon.com/Bottle-Lies-Inside-Story-Generic/dp/0062338781Subhi Saadeh is a Quality Professional and host of Let's Combinate.

Meta announced today that it will end its fact-checking program as part of the company's repositioning ahead of the upcoming Trump presidency. Ravi takes a closer look at the decision, what it suggests about Big Tech's approach to the shifting political landscape, and the broader civic implications of Trump's presidency. Vanity Fair's Katherine Eban then joins Ravi to discuss the rise of the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement and its potential impact on public health policy. They first explore the movement's key priorities, including controversial measures like promoting raw milk and limiting the use of preservatives. Katherine and Ravi then examine how MAHA's diverse coalition, spanning from left-wing organic food advocates to far-right vaccine skeptics, reflects a growing distrust of health institutions. Finally, they dive into RFK Jr.'s potential appointment as Health Secretary, his history of vaccine skepticism, and how his confirmation could reshape public health narratives.

Journalist Katherine Eban's investigation over more than ten years has uncovered one of the most shocking medical scandals imaginable, which affects millions of patients across the world. In this podcast, she discusses the shocking reality of what happens or perhaps more accurately what doesn't happen, when generic drugs that we import, are manufactured in countries with poor regulations. When a drug is first approved, it is released with its own brand name, but once the drug's  patent expires, then other manufacturers are allowed to make cheaper generic versions of the same medication. Now most patients and indeed many doctors think these generic drugs are the same as the brand name ones - but they are not. Current regulations only require the medications to be "bioequivalent" and they also allowed to have very different absorption rates, so may work very differently to the brand name pharmaceuticals, which has huge implications for patients. But although that is worrying enough, many of the world's generic drugs are made in India and China - where as Katherine explains -  there is little regulation and they can be made very cheaply. In what was India's largest pharmaceutical company – Ranbaxy - 200 of its generic drugs were revealed to have been filed with the US drug regulator, the FDA, with inadequate, falsified or completely missing data. And furthermore in other companies, an FDA investigator found in over 80 plants in India and China he visited, 80% had falsified data. These generic drugs are sold into every country, so may well end up on the shelves of your local pharmacy, so what can we do as patients and doctors to protect ourselves? On her website, Katherine gives some tips for consumers in  A Guide To Investigating Your Own Drugs. Bottle of Lies: Ranbaxy and the Dark Side of Indian Pharma by Katherine Eban is published by Juggernaut.

With Election Day rapidly approaching, abortion is gaining traction as a voting issue, according to public opinion polls. Meanwhile, states with abortion bans are reviving the lawsuit — dismissed by the Supreme Court on a technicality this year — that could roll back the availability of the abortion pill mifepristone. Sarah Karlin-Smith of the Pink Sheet, Rachel Cohrs Zhang of Stat, and Victoria Knight of Axios join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews Tricia Neuman, senior vice president of KFF and executive director of its Program on Medicare Policy, about Medicare open enrollment and the changes to the federal program for 2025. Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: NBC News' “Crisis Pregnancy Center's Forms Give Rare Insight Into Anti-Abortion Practices,” by Abigail Brooks.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (11/27/2023): 3:05pm- During an interview with Fox News, Director of the Air Marshal National Council Sonya LaBosco revealed that U.S. Air Marshals are currently engaged in an operation called “Quiet Skies” in which resources and personnel are being diverted towards tracking anyone who flew into the Washington D.C. area on January 6th, 2021—even if those individuals did not attend any political rallies at, or around, the U.S. Capitol. According to LaBosco, “anybody there for a job interview, to visit family” or to attend “a funeral” could now find themselves on a domestic terror watch list and be barred from flying. The Biden Administration is also sending Air Marshals to the U.S. Southern border, and the diversion of resources could have dire consequences. LaBosco explains: “There have been numerous incidents—a level 4 threat which means someone tried to breach a cockpit two days ago on a Southwest flight. So, the message is: ‘Sir, please replace the Air Marshals on the border. Stop taking them out of the sky and let us do the job that we were trained to do.” You can read more about these startling allegations here: https://nypost.com/2022/11/28/air-marshals-claim-biden-is-risking-another-9-11-by-shifting-them-from-flights-to-border/ 3:25pm- The Associated Press writes that there has been a concerning “surge in respiratory illnesses across China that has drawn the attention of the World Health Organization.” China's health ministry has claimed the uptick “is caused by the flu and other known pathogens and not by a novel virus.” You can read more here: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/26/china-respiratory-illnesses-cause-flu-pathogens-00128637 3:40pm- In a new report featured in Vanity Fair, Katherine Eban writes: “A series of previously unreported alarms and clashes over US-funded research in China reveal long-standing friction between two groups of government scientists: those who prioritize international collaboration, and those who are kept up at night by the idea that cutting-edge technologies could end up in the wrong hands.” Additionally, there were “warnings about Wuhan research” that “predated the pandemic.” You can read the full article here: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/11/covid-origins-warnings-nih-department-of-energy 4:05pm- Dr. E.J. Antoni—Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Black Friday shopping trends. According to the National Retail Federation estimates, 182 million people are expected to take advantage of holiday sales taking place between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday. While spending has been strong, an alarming number of purchases have been made on credit. Dr. Antoni writes: “While retailers are enticing customers with the usual Black Friday deals, many Americans don't have the cash to afford even what's on sale. They'll be borrowing to do their Christmas shopping, at a time when credit-card interest rates are at a record high and delinquencies are rising at the fastest rate in over a decade. Bidenomics is the reason why credit card debt today is over $1 trillion for the first time ever, even amid punishingly high interest rates.” You can read his latest Daily Caller editorial, “All I Want for Christmas is a 2% Interest Rate,” here: https://dailycaller.com/2023/11/24/opinion-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-a-2-interest-rate-ej-antoni/ 4:20pm- In a recent segment featured on CNN, reporter Nathaniel Meyersohn seemingly blamed the economically devastating rise in shoplifting on honest mistakes made at self-checkout lanes and is not related to relaxed prosecution for stolen items in many of America's major cities. 4:30pm- During Monday's White House Press briefing, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby was asked of the likelihood that American hostages would be released by Hamas “in the next few days.” Kirby responded, “we certainly hope so…we don't really know.” 4:40pm- While appearing on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) alarmingly noted that as of now the Biden Administration can't definitively determine that all American hostages being held by Hamas are still alive. 5:00pm- Dr. Victoria Coates— Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the extension of a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas which has, thus far, resulted in the release of fifty-one hostages taken by Hamas during their barbaric attacks against innocent Israeli citizens on October 7th. Dr. Coates is the author of “David's Sling: A History of Democracy in Ten Works of Art.” You can find her book here: https://www.amazon.com/Davids-Sling-History-Democracy-Works/dp/1594037213 5:25pm- The Associated Press writes that there has been a concerning “surge in respiratory illnesses across China that has drawn the attention of the World Health Organization.” China's health ministry has claimed the uptick “is caused by the flu and other known pathogens and not by a novel virus.” You can read more here: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/26/china-respiratory-illnesses-cause-flu-pathogens-00128637 5:30pm- In a new report featured in Vanity Fair, Katherine Eban writes: “A series of previously unreported alarms and clashes over US-funded research in China reveal long-standing friction between two groups of government scientists: those who prioritize international collaboration, and those who are kept up at night by the idea that cutting-edge technologies could end up in the wrong hands.” Additionally, there were “warnings about Wuhan research” that “predated the pandemic.” You can read the full article here: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/11/covid-origins-warnings-nih-department-of-energy 5:40pm- Is Red Barron's frozen pizza the best pizza in the world?

Last week a federal judge there ruled that timely mail ballots must be counted even if the voter neglected to write the date, as state law requires.

The change comes months after President Biden and his wife issued a statement publicly acknowledging first son Hunter Biden's out-of-wedlock daughter, Navy Joan Roberts, as their seventh grandchild. Navy, now 5, was not included in the stocking displays for 2021 or 2022—unlike Hunter's three daughters he shares with ex-wife Kathleen Buhle and his son with current wife Melissa Cohen.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2023/11/27/news/white-house-ditches-biden-stockings-post-acknowledging-hunter-child/# 6:25pm- According to Rebecca Beitsch of The Hill, Judge Tanya Chutkan has denied Donald Trump's legal efforts to subpoena documents relating to January 6th. Beitsch writes: “A federal judge Monday rejected former President Trump's efforts to subpoena information related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack that the former president had accused government officials of failing to preserve, determining the request amounted to a ‘fishing expedition.'” You can read the full report here: https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4329843-judge-blocks-trump-subpoena-jan-6/ 6:30pm- During an interview with Fox News, Director of the Air Marshal National Council Sonya LaBosco revealed that U.S. Air Marshals are currently engaged in an operation called “Quiet Skies” in which resources and personnel are being diverted towards tracking anyone who flew into the Washington D.C. area on January 6th, 2021—even if those individuals did not attend any political rallies at, or around, the U.S. Capitol.

Now other far-left personalities are calling for similarly ridiculous repercussions for Univision.

To get ahead in the generic drug industry you need to be focused, hard-nosed and fearless. Especially because half the battle is taking on one of the richest, most powerful industries in the world — Big Pharma. Barry Sherman was the perfect generic drug lord — more litigator than innovator — but did his ability to win in court, and slough off the losses, end up getting him killed?

To get ahead in the generic drug industry you need to be focused, hard-nosed and fearless. Especially because half the battle is taking on one of the richest, most powerful industries in the world — Big Pharma. Barry Sherman was the perfect generic drug lord — more litigator than innovator — but did his ability to win in court, and slough off the losses, end up getting him killed?

This episode begins and ends with me rambling about my upcoming attempt to run 42.2kms. In between, I talk about SARS-CoV-2, of course, lament the lack of attention Cuban vaccines have gotten, and very reluctantly talk for a bit about Elon Musk and Twitter. You can find Katherine Eban's latest story on the origins of Covid at Vanity Fair. Here is an article by William Haseltine on the next generation of vaccines, and a second. I briefly mention a new article on how the DHS seeks to control social media platforms. Episode art image by: Patrick M.

It took me about a month to finally edit this, I recorded it midway through April while sick. Here I focus on two articles by Katherine Eban, published in Vanity Fair, "The Lab Leak Theory: Inside the Fight to Uncover COVID-19's Origins" from June of last year and " "This Shouldn't Happen": Inside the Virus-Hunting Nonprofit at the Center of the Lab-Leak Controversy" from March of this year.

Today's episode includes a recap of my weekend at the Ohio Pharmacist Association (OPA) Annual Conference April 1-3, 2022, and brief interviews with Ohio pharmacists Emlah Tubuo, PharmD and Greg Kramp, PharmD. Disclaimer.  I am an OPA Member, but I do not work for The Ohio Pharmacists Association.  The opinions mentioned in this podcast episode are my own and not necessarily those of OPA.  Also, I am not being compensated for any content in this podcast episode.   This episode has 4 parts.   In the first part, I'll give a recap from the sessions I attended:  session title and speaker(s) name(s), plus two take-aways. I attended 11 sessions and earned 16 hours of CE.  Ten sessions were 90 minutes long.  One was only 60 minutes long.  There were multiple offerings for each time slot, and it was hard to pick just one to attend. The second part is my interview with Emlah Tubuo, PharmD. The third part is my interview with Greg Kramp, PharmD. The fourth and final part of this episode will be a few stories about what went wrong back home while I was gone.  If you're a parent of teenagers, you're going to groan.  It has to do with my younger son missing the ACT on Saturday, April 2, and the death of the only houseplant I own.   Thank you for listening to The Pharmacist's Voice Podcast Episode 143!

The house did not burn down, and my husband and both kids were alive when I got home.    What went wrong? My son Derrick missed the ACT because he forgot about it. My only houseplant died a horrible death by wind, rain, and cold temps.  Our trash ended up in our recycling toter and the recyclables ended up in the trash toter. I left March 31, and no one flipped the calendars in the house to April.  No one printed the new lunch calendar for April either.   When my family went to church, no one brought the Noisy Change Offering, which is only collected the first Sunday of the month.  My son had to loan my husband cash so we could contribute toward the charity of the month.  My husband also forgot to pick his prescriptions up at the pharmacy on Saturday.  The pharmacy is closed Sunday. Better luck next time, boys!  Please laugh.  I know I did.  That's life, and life can be messy!

Growing up I remember my mother telling me I shouldn't drink coffee because it could stunt my growth. Really? How could that possibly be true? Also, people have long believed that coffee will sober up someone who has been drinking. Can coffee really do that too? This episode begins with a look at what coffee can and cannot do. http://lifehacker.com/four-popular-coffee-myths-debunked-by-science-1780764499 Why would you pay for name brand drug when a generic version is cheaper? After all, generic drugs are equivalent to name brands - right? That's the question I explore with journalist Katherine Eban, author of the book Bottle of Lies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom (https://amzn.to/2K1f6Vm). We have all been told that generic drugs are the same - or at least have the same active ingredient as name brand drugs at a fraction of the price. However, they may not necessarily be true. Katherine's investigation found a disturbing story about the safety and effectiveness of generic drugs that you probably haven't heard before. If you or a friend or family member takes prescription drugs, it is important for you to hear this episode. Katherine's website is www.KatherineEban.com  Too much sun is a problem. But so is too little sun. It turns out there is strong medical evidence that some sun is good for your health. Listen to hear how much and what it is good for. (http://www.rd.com/health/wellness/sun-affects-your-body/) Finding the right job or even figuring out what career path to take is challenging and often difficult. However, there is some good research in this area that can help you find a job, do it well and move up the ladder. One of the experts in this field is Art Markman, professor of Psychology and Marketing at the University of Texas at Austin and author of the book Bring Your Brain To Work: Using Cognitive Science to Get a Job, Do It Well and Advance Your Career (https://amzn.to/2WpTbc6).

Andrea and I sit down to discuss the book Bottle of Lies by Katherine Eban which accounts the extraordinary corrupt business practices of some generic drug manufacturers and how it isn't always "the same as brand-name drugs only cheaper".

005 - Since SARS-CoV-2 tore through the population and left biologic, economic, and emotional catastrophe in its wake, the question of its origins has flitted in and out of public consciousness. The legacy U.S. media has, for the most parts, shown little interest in its origins beyond quick glosses affirming its “natural” origins, or perfunctory reporting on the unpopularity of the “lab leak” hypothesis. However, recent reporting by Katherine Eban at Vanity Fair has revealed that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. Government, and the NIH have misled the public about their support of “gain of function” research at the Wuhan lab. What does it mean to “trust” a public official in twenty-first century America, and why is it so polarizing to question them?

When we pick up medicine from our nearby chemist, we assume that we are getting what we pay for. That trust may be misplaced.

  Katherine Eban is an award-winning investigative journalist who previously appeared on The Drive to discuss the widespread fraud in the generic drug industry. In this episode, she discusses the content of her recent Vanity Fair article, which examined the evidence for the theory that the COVID-19 pandemic resulted from a virus lab escape as opposed to a natural virus that came from an animal host. Katherine and Peter walk through the evidence for both theories as well as discuss the long and troubling history of dangerous lab leaks and safety concerns about the Wuhan Institute of Virology.  They also talk about the controversy surrounding gain-of-function research and its funding by the US government. Finally, they conclude with a discussion on the likelihood of definitively establishing the origins of the virus given the Chinese government's lack of cooperation and highlight the fact that the many barriers to performing a full investigation may be the most troubling aspect of the controversy. This episode was originally recorded on July 6, 2021.    We discuss: An overview of the lab leak controversy [1:30]; The troubling history of lab leaks of dangerous pathogens [8:30]; The zoonotic transmission theory: did SARS2 come from a bat? [11:45]; The debate about gain-of-function (GoF) research [26:15]; Questions about US funding of GoF research in China [33:45]; The uncertain significance of the furin cleavage site [51:30]; Discerning what's most important about both the zoonotic transmission and lab leak theories [1:01:15]; Barriers to a full investigation [1:19:15]; and More.

What are the credible questions related to the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China? President Biden has asked the intelligence community to investigate, but 'Vanity Fair' reporter Katherine Eban says there have been many roadblocks.

Katherine Eban is an investigative journalist and contributor to Vanity Fair. Her latest article is ”The Lab-Leak Theory: Inside the Fight to Uncover COVID-19's Origins.””You can't make a correction unless you know why something happened. So imagine—if this is a lab leak—the earth shattering consequences for virology. For the science community, for how research is done, for how research is regulated. Or if it is a zoonotic origin, we have to know how our human incursion into wild spaces could be unleashing these viruses. Because COVID-19 is one thing, but we're going to be looking at COVID-25 and COVID-34. We have to know what caused this.” Thanks to Mailchimp for sponsoring this week's episode.

Investigative journalist, Katherine Eban, on her book Bottle of Lies that documents global fraud, large-scale data fabrication and unsafe practices inside Indian drug plants.

Listen NowNine in 10 prescriptions are today filled using a generic drug saving Americans tens of billions annually.   A significant amount of generic drugs, along with active ingredients in all drugs, are manufactured overseas.  However, how safely or to what quality standards are these ingredients and generics produced?   Bottle of Lies, published in May, tells the story of appalling practices foreign generic manufacturers use to produce these drugs at the most minimal cost.  The work moreover provides a detailed account of Ranbaxy, the former India-based generic manufacturer that after eight years of investigation was fined a then record amount,$500 million, for significant fraud.  The work questions or brings to serious doubt the FDA's ability to adequately inspect overseas generic manufacturers ensuring these drugs are safe for consumption in the US or around the world.  Listeners may recall I interviewed coauthor Paul Weinberg in September 2017 concerning his related work, Blood On Their Hands, How Greedy Companies, Inept Bureaucracy and Bad Science Killed Thousands of Hemophiliacs and Rosemary Gibson this past December concerning her related, China Rx, Exposing the Risk of America's Dependence on China for Medicine. During this 37 minute interview. Ms. Eban provides an overview of Ranbaxy's manufacturing practices revealed by former employee and whistleblower, Dinesh Thakur.  She explains the mindset, termed "Jugaad," used in India to produce generics.  She discusses the adequacy of the 2013 US settlement with Ranbaxy , the role the Japanese firm, Daiichi Sankyo, a  major Ranbaxy stakeholder, the FDA's ability to adequately inspect Ranbaxy and other generic manufacturers around the world, e.g., Cipla and Mylan, recent and future related Congressional action, how poor or inadequate manufacturing practices complicate remedying the drug shortage problem and what precautions consumers or patients can take before consuming generic drugs.  Katherine Eban, an investigative journalist, is a Fortune magazine contributor and Andrew Carnegie fellow.
