We are delighted to announce the publication of a new article on our partner platform the Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Ethics Blog authored by Sonia Leann Jackson and entitled "The Cost of Manipulation: The Irresponsible Abuse of Technological Opacity in the Pharmaceutical Industry"
This article, which builds, inter alia, on the research conducted during the NATO-funded project Whistling at the Fake (https://www.corporatecrime.co.uk/whistling-at-the-fake) that was coordinated by Dr. Costantino Grasso, explores the risks associated with the irresponsible use of technology in the pharmaceutical industry, including scientific manipulation in drug trials, scientific misrepresentation through ghost-written publications, and abuse of technology through the misrepresentation of risks.
The article highlights the negative impacts of these practices on patients, healthcare professionals, and society as a whole. It discusses the problems caused by selective reporting and manipulation of data, ghost-writing, and the misrepresentation of risks associated with drugs after they are on the market. The article emphasizes the need for transparency, legislation, and whistleblowers to ensure the integrity of the pharmaceutical industry and protect the public from harm.
