Description
Sharyl Attkisson's latest book, Follow the Science, is a gripping exposé of the pharmaceutical industry's dark underbelly. Through meticulous investigation and uncompromising commitment to the facts, Attkisson reveals the shocking extent to which profits have been prioritised over people, with devastating consequences. The book takes readers on a journey through the pharmaceutical industry's most egregious examples of corruption, including blatant lies, deep cover-ups, and high-level collusion with government and media. Attkisson's in-depth analysis sheds light on the disturbing callousness of those in power and the willingness of some to commit life-threatening ethics violations. With Follow the Science, Attkisson provides a graphic and unflinching portrayal of a system that prioritises profits over people, and the consequences that follow.
