> Gøtzsche er en interessant figur, men jeg ville tatt ham med en klype salt.
Det er mange med mange penger som har et sterkt ønske om at folk skal gjøre det.
> Han har noen gode poenger
Jeg har jobbet innen psykiatri i flere år og vil påstå at han har ganske mange.
> men han er i overkant dramatisk
Du om det
> og mangler presisjon.
Det må du nesten utdype litt.
Har fortsatt ikke sett noen seriøs kritikk av Gøtsche som ikke er grunnløs eller en form for heksejakt fra folk som er lojale mot industrien.
Ta for eksempel legemiddelverkets Steinar Madsen sin anmeldelse av denne boka, som forøvrig ble kåret til årets bok av en større og konservativ britisk legeforening.
Her kan du lese Gøtsches svar på Madsens omtale
Og her er flere som deler sine synspunkter rund Madsens anmeldelse:

Yes, as well as that there has been a meta analysis comparing the adverse events in the published papers to the clinical study reports and there was a huge discrepancy (only 30% reported were included in the final paper). So even when patients do report adverse events they are hidden.
Even if you ignore the fact that negative trials go missing and assume that the data about the effectiveness of the drugs we use is sound (which it isn't). You still can't make an informed decision if you don't have good evidence about the harms of that medication.
If you are interested I recommend you check out this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Deadly-Medicines-Organised-Crime-healthcare/dp/1846198844 You won't believe how much we have let industry corrupt science.
Sadly it is worse. Prescription Drugs Are The Third Leading Cause Of Death After Heart Disease And Cancer.
I would hasten to add that the author of the book is not some sensationalist quack, he co-founded The Cochrane Collaboration and is Professor of Clinical Research Design and Analysis at the University of Copenhagen. He has published more than 70 papers in the top 5 general medical journals, cited over 10,000 times.
This book won the British Medical Associations book of the year in 2014.
You may find these books 1, 2, 3 and 4 quite interesting.
Widespread crime, corruption and drugs being the third leading cause of death ? O wait that’s already happening
> The book addresses, in evidence-based detail, an extraordinary system failure caused by widespread crime, corruption, bribery and impotent drug regulation in need of radical reforms

What do you think of Peter Gotsche's idea that Big Pharma operates very similar to organized crimes ? With medicines being third leading cause of death in the developed world ?

Hahaha thats idiotic. Absolutely not true. MAny books have been written explaining how pharma manipulates medical science. See this one

>Saying “sponsored science” and big pharma are skewing all the facts is a conspiracy theory like the originating tweet.
Nah. More like the sober reality of an informed person.
>“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 of The New England Journal of Medicine.”

Care to address the downfall of medical science?
Is evidence based medicine icon Peter Gotzsche making it all up?
>The "evidence tells us that it is likely that the DTP vaccine increases total mortality in low-income countries."
