John Virapen "Side Effect. Death"

Author: John Virapen Title: "Side Effect. Death" Year of publication: 2011 Description: A behind-the-scenes look at the world of big corporations. The author shares his 35 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, and his story takes us into a world of almost unimaginable machinations that, in the name of profit, manipulate some of the greatest values—health and life. Is it possible to first create a drug and only then invent the disease it is supposed to treat? This is just one of the surprising claims Virapen makes. By revealing the inner workings of large corporations, he shows how many areas of social life they influence, including exerting pressure on governments and manipulating information and procedures. Although I always approach any conspiracy theories with great caution, I must admit that the book is truly captivating and thought-provoking; however, as with any book of this type, common sense and a touch of skepticism are worth their weight in gold!
