America’s Broken Health Care: Diagnosis and Prescription, by John Abramson, best explains how pharma uses so-called Peer Review to pimp new drugs! I.e. pay a uniservity to do a "study" pay a doctor to hustle JAMA NEJM etc. to publish a "Peer Review" [science free] add in their journals, for so-called doctors to cite & sell pharm's new questionable drugs! i.e. why Big Pharma's have had to pay out over 5 Billion in Fraud fines! i.e. just the people you want to trust with your health, Right?
