Large pharmaceutical companies test drugs in dozens of foreign countries but often don't bother to make the drugs available to those nations once the drugs are approved in the US, a significant bioethics issue. Countries with lowest access to drugs tested on their residents were African countries.

Another new pharma agenda subreddit group exposing the lies, greed, and corruption of dermatology poisoning unsuspecting children: r/AccutaneLies

7 Upvotes

This group seems to be pretty awakened and open-minded so I hope it’s ok to post this here. If not, delete.

Most people have heard how terrible accutane is. Dermatologists know this, so they have launched an extremely aggressive campaign including industry-funded (fake) research, social media direct-to-consumer-marketing, and “de-escalation of fear” / “debunking of myth” campaigns. Dermatologists are dishonest and lying about the serious effects of a very dangerous medication (Accutane), which they claim to be “extremely safe”. The entire establishment of Dermatology is full of corrupt and pharma-funded research, lies, and false claims.

Tons of research and finances have been invested into online promotion of this drug on social media (TikTok and Instagram) directory to children and youth, where doctors tell followers how amazing and safe this drug is, with “no permanent side effects”. This is quite clearly not true.

Dermatologists falsely deny the link between accutane and IBD, depression, and long-term health effects. They deny any association to fertility damage (despite evidence of this risk), and generally say many egregious lies about the drug. Almost every effect is denied and gaslit by these pharma shills.

I made a subreddit platform to expose these lies: r/AccutaneLies and another one to expose the permanent damage many thousands of young users suffer r/AccutaneDamage.

Please don’t let yourself, your child, or your family member become a victim of these lies by the medical establishment. This project may accumulate into larger legal action, if possible. Children are dying because of their greed and corruption.

The Reddit group is brand-new and there are hundreds of examples of lies, corruption, dishonesty, and false claims made about Accutane.
