This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Yeah, we see it everywhere.

#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

We see it everywhere.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

In medicine, it's everywhere.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

And the journals are utterly corrupt because they're owned by the pharmaceutical companies.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

And so people read a journal and they think, oh, this is science.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

But even Marsha Engel, the one that ran the New England Journal of Medicine for 20 years, has said, you can't believe anything in the journals anymore.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

who still runs it, says the same thing at the, you know, the journals.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von

#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

What happens, they make huge amounts of money.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

They pay for the journal about a drug that they're trying to promote.

This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

They pay the journal to print the story.

And then they get a preprint.

#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

And then they distribute that to their pharmaceutical reps who are like, you know, former Playboy models who go out and talk to the doctors.

#639 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

And they give that to the doctor and say this drug works.
