'PROFITS AHEAD OF PATIENTS? An Investigative History Of The American Pharmaceutical Industry -  Gerald Posner  Gerald Posner  • https://www.posner.com/ • Book - Pharma: Greed, Lies, and the Poisoning of America   The author of thirteen acclaimed books, including New York Times nonfiction bestsellers Case Closed, Why America Slept and God’s Bankers. Posner was a finalist for the Pulitzer in History. “A merciless pit bull of an investigator” concluded the Chicago Tribune. The New York Times said his latest book (2020), PHARMA, was “a withering and encyclopedic indictment of a drug industry that often seems to prioritize profits over patients…[it] reads like a pharmaceutical version of cops and robbers.” From Law to Writing Posner was one of the youngest attorneys (23) ever hired by Cravath, Swaine & Moore. A Political Science major, he was a Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, where he was also a national debating champion. At Hastings Law School, he was an Honors Graduate and was the Law Review’s Associate Executive Editor. He was a litigation associate at the Wall Street law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore before leaving in 1981 to co-found Posner & Ferrara, a New York public interest law firm. Several years of a pro bono legal representation on behalf of surviving twins of Nazi experiments at the Auschwitz death camp led him to coauthor his first book in 1986, MENGELE: The Complete Story, a bestselling and critically acclaimed biography of the infamous Nazi “Angel of Death,” Dr. Josef Mengele. Read a profile on Gerald on how the Mengele book led to him to leave the law. Publishers Weekly explains how he changed from being a Wall Street lawyer to a bestselling nonfiction author. In the past, he was a regular panelist on History CENTER, the History Channel’s Sunday current events program. He has been a freelance writer for many news magazines, and a regular contributor to NBC, the History Channel, CNN, FOX News, CBS, and MSNBC. He is represented by Bright Sight Group for lectures about investigative journalism and his books. His wife, author, Trisha Posner, works with him on all projects.  #GeraldPosner #TheRealTruthAboutHealth  #MedicalScreening #Pharmaceutical #Drugs  0:00     The Insidious Industry That Often Seems  13:08   What Was The Pure Food And Drug Act? 21:20   The Decision To Revolutionize  43:15   The Biggest Lethal Prescription Drug  57:07   How The Orphan Drug System   CLICK HERE - To Checkout Our MEMBERSHIP CLUB: http://www.realtruthtalks.com   • Social Media Channels Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TRTAHConference Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/therealtruthabouthealth/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RTAHealth  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-real-truth-about-health-conference/   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealTruthAboutHealth     • Check out our Podcasts   Visit us on Apple Podcast and Itunes search:  The Real Truth About Health Free 17 Day Live Online Conference Podcast  Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/23a037be-99dd-4099-b9e0-1cad50774b5a/real-truth-about-health-live-online-conference-podcast  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0RZbS2BafJIEzHYyThm83J  Google:https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS8yM0ZqRWNTMg%3D%3D  Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/real-truth-about-health-live-online-conference-podcast  Audacy: https://go.audacy.com/partner-podcast-listen-real-truth-about-health-live-online-conference-podcast  iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-real-truth-about-health-li-85932821/  Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/us/show/2867272   • Other Video Channels Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealTruthAboutHealth Vimeo:  https://vimeo.com/channels/1733189 Rumble:   https://rumble.com/c/c-1111513  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/TRTAHConference/videos/?ref=page_internal  DailyMotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/TheRealTruthAboutHealth  BitChute:  https://www.bitchute.com/channel/JQryXTPDOMih/'
