Teehee... I think it might really be true; much corruption is about to be exposed.

"Shannon Brownlee, senior vice president of the Lown Institute
and former journalist covering the CDC, told The BMJ, “This
looks like classic stealth marketing, in which industry puts their
message in the mouths of a trusted third party, such as an
academic or a professional organization.”

You really just need to pick an idiot in Public Health and all your work is done for you.

The question is will anyone who's in a position to do something about it actually care? Remember, they're all members of the ruling class. That's a big club, but none of us are members.

Nothing they whine about is relevant to any of our concerns. They complain about pharmaceutical industry involvement in HCV and influenza drug research, the sugar industry, and the NRA. And they smugly pat themselves on the back over the CDC’s anti-tobacco campaign, which is the most scientifically corrupt area out of everything they do. This is typical. It means that NOTHING that we care about is going to change as a result of this little tizzy.

And they generally operate from a different basis of morals and ethics than the regular citizenry.
"The greater good...", and "the ends justify the means...", etc.

Thank You BMJ! By Draging These 'Medical Gurus' Dirty Laundry Out Into The Light Of Day!
Realistically though this report will have a sum value of Zero. There's way too much MONEY involved for this to stand.
Maybe they'll do the same thing to our Precious FDA and other government agencies. They've only scratched the Scab on this Cancer.

That happens when there are Huge financial incentives at play. Otherwise people are not interested in any "greater good".

The whole purpose of Propaganda is to have enough people begin to distrust what they believe to be the truth. Once you Defeat the Propaganda then the Truth Rules.
The Truth shall set you free. Propaganda shall keep you a slave.
