SUMMARY: The pharmaceutical trade publications, except STAT News and Endpoints, have remained silent on the sham approval of Biogen’s Alzheimer’s drug. Pharma trade magazines have become irrelevant, and most could care less what they print, although they try to suck up with phony awards. It’s up to people within the industry to push back and try to be the change we want and need to see.
Pharma Trade Awards
QUICK READ: There are a lot of patient-centered, hard-working people within the pharma industry. The problem is that there are way too many senior managers whose only goal is to remain relevant within the organization even if it means patients suffer. Trade magazine awards don’t mean anything if one company makes a bad decision that stains our industry.
