Death by Medicine, a 2010 film by Gary Null, Ph.D

(Film's Closing Statement)
Death by Medicine required six years of in-depth research on the part of the doctoral scholars who received many hundreds of studies from peer-reviewed medical literature. The only statistics used in this film are from mainstream publcations. Referring to Lexus-Nexus, over 300,000 lawsuits have been settled by the pharmaceutical industry, totalling hundreds of bilions of dollars. These suits were brought forth for wrongful death, concealing the known toxic and lethal effects of various drugs, illegally selling drugs off label, price fixing, intentionally misreporting studies and falsification of data. All of the major pharmaceutical companies have been involved in these kinds of illegal activities and the most egregious being the 60,000 dead and 120,000 severely injured people due to Merck's Vioxx. With few exceptions, the principle philosophy of the pharmaceutical industry has been to continue to sell dangerous drugs as long as they are still profitable. The cost of settling lawsuits is simply factored in as part of the cost of doing business. Without exception, all major drug companies have close ties to the FDA, the CDC, the White House, members of Congress, medical publications and associations, and the American media. Their reputations have remained unblemished.
