BREAKING NEWS--Honesty in the Pharma World

Here's a top exec at GlaxoSmithKline admitting that patented meds--of all kinds, not just pysch meds--work in only 30 to 50 precent of all patients. I bet no one else follows his lead even though this is a well-known reality in the pharma world. There is too much money and power at stake for pharma companies, doctors, advocacy groups and public health officials to let this kind of honesty persist. It must be stopped now!
