Big Pharma vs. Big Placebo

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Michael Specter is a writer (The New Yorker) & author who often comments on the topic of ‘American denialism’. He also was invited to speak at this year’s TED conference in California. Essentially, Michael believes that our social mindset threatens many areas of scientific progress…..including the use of vaccines, pharmaceuticals and other healthcare treatments.

Somewhere around 10:30 into his presentation, he begins to discuss the societal fear of Big Pharma & the falsehoods that we as a society blindly chase looking for an alternative.
