But why not. I'm afraid history is on my side here. <br /><br />If our government won't even go after the clear-and-present-danger of the Wall Street crowd, but instead simply keeps allowing them to pay a fine instead of doing time, what hope have we for cracking down on Big Pharma and corporations? <br /><br />As for Wikipedia, it caves to pressure, just as do so many of us.

Alas it seems that you have been around the court of power and influence too long James. An informed cynicism has replaced your youthful idealism. Let's see if Wikipedia at least can adjust its facts. What's that you say? Unlikely? The pharma boys will edit it out again? <br />The film is worth a careful analaysis of its possible impact. There is much to say. But meanwhile, glad you rated it a good documentary.

As to whether or not the men in charge at the time were disgusted with themselves because of their actions, we'll never know. They're all dead now. (They should have died much earlier, however, along with the creeps at the drug companies.) And as to sacrificing lives for funding: lives have always been sacrificed at the altar of money. It's the American (read Capitalistic) way!TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-90689916031272821152014-08-31T12:10:58.516-04:002014-08-31T12:10:58.516-04:00Another review which proves your intelligence is f...Another review which proves your intelligence is far above the norm!:-) The reputation of Laetrile has been so successfully smeared by the American Cancer Society in the service of big Pharma that this film will shock everyone, I believe, and your review and its enthusiasm is fully justified by the parade of evidence in the film which makes everything so clear and irrefutable. It is a sad thing that to get funding for your huge institution full of dedicated scientists who can save many lives if they are allowed to pursue science without politics, you have to defer to the scoundrels making billions out of cancer drugs which work only by being highly toxic and ruining your health in their own way. I wonder whether the top men at Sloan Kettering was disgusted with themselves by going along with ignorance to preserve their funding or whether they internally denied it. This film makes you wonder. Are they really that bad that they will sacrifice lives for funding? Seems so.<br />Anthony Liversidge scienceguardian.com (a review there too)Anthony Liversidgehttp://scienceguardian.comnoreply@blogger.com
