Very interesting interview! Certainly the more graphic form of disclosing financial conflict of authors will cause a much needed pause and more discernment when reading journal articles.
Great article and interview. This is the way it has always worked in the human world, good and bad. Sounds like the code would be just right to change the direction of a great deal of corporate influencing and short circuit the unconscious greed of so many medical influencers. Do get it into the hands of those who will use it. Refine it, let its use grow. The flowers of it will be amazing.
Excellent! High time somebody takes on the way industry money and academic careers mesh. For example, in Covid-19-related publications one very often sees just "No conflict of interest" without supplying financial support data. Also, I see very many "heavy" studies that state "no funding support". After 40 years in academia, I do know that this is impossible. And yet, the most prestigious scientific publications prefer to close an eye on these very transparent transgressions
Alex Rich is doing great work. The question is, what can we do about the pharma money and influence? Here is another great talk about corruption of medicine and medical science: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osPyE3CHVls
I've been at various times a corporate auditor and a lawyer, two natural enemies of the doctor, so I'm well aware of the ego thing.
It's such a social status-driven thing, I end up thinking the only solution we have is to somehow instill a secular form of *shame* into the zeitgeist.
Sic a team of people like Jessica Rose on this data before it's gone. Publish a secure database somewhere. Make it searchable by the public
Exposing the link between payments and suffering or death would be a litigants dream..

An old joke: "What's the difference between a physician and God?". "God does not believe he is a physician".
