Episode 61: Psychological Warfare in Pharma Marketing ft: Robert Malone

Episode 61: Psychological Warfare in Pharma Marketing ft: Robert Malone

Hi everyone,

In this new podcast episode, Robert Malone and I delve into the critical issues of credentialism, the corrupting influence of financial incentives, and the delegitimization of experts in public health. We explore how financial interests in academia and the pharmaceutical industry can distort research priorities and compromise the pursuit of truth. Our discussion covers the manipulation of public perception to drive vaccine demand, the perverse incentives created by stockpile contracts, and the complex web of conflicts of interest within organizations like the WHO. We further explore the assimilation of psychological warfare techniques into pharmaceutical marketing campaigns and the compromised nature of regulatory bodies like the FDA while highlighting the power dynamics between transnational corporations and nation states, with corporations often wielding significant control. Additionally, we discuss the “gold rush” mentality in the biopharmaceutical industry and the corruption within the public-private partnership framework.

The Dangerous Illusion of Scientific Consensus

The Dangerous Illusion of Scientific Consensus

Join Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and Rav Arora in their new independent media project.


Science is the process by which we learn about the workings of material reality. Though modern innovations – built on the fruits of science – would look like magic to people living only decades ago, they result from the time-tested scientific method. Contrary perhaps to media portrayals of science, the scientific method depends not on the existence of a mythical consensus but rather on structured scientific debates. If there is a consensus, science challenges it with new hypotheses, experiments, logic, and critical thinking. Ironically, science advances because it believes it has never arrived; consensus is the hallmark of dead science.

One of us is a college student with an unpremeditated career in alternative indie journalism. The other is a professor of health policy at Stanford University School of Medicine with an MD, a Ph.D. in economics, and decades of experience writing on infectious disease epidemiology. Despite the wealth of differences in our backgrounds and experiences, we converge on foundational scientific and ethical principles that public health authorities abandoned during the Covid pandemic. Principles like evidence-based medicine, informed consent, and the necessity of scientific debate serve as the bedrock on which the public can have confidence that science and public health work for the benefit of the people rather than regardless of it.

The illusion of scientific consensus throughout the COVID-19 pandemic led to disastrous policies, with lockdowns the primary example. It was clear even on the eve of the lockdowns in 2020 that the economic dislocation caused by them would throw tens of millions worldwide into food insecurity and deep poverty, which has indeed come to pass. It was clear that school closures – in some places lasting two years or longer – would devastate children’s life opportunities and future health and well-being wherever they were implemented…
