Mario Giordano has chosen L'Aquila, the city of pharmaceuticals, to present his new book: Jackals, viruses, health and money. While waiting for the Coronavirus vaccine, we need to get to know the world of Pharmaceuticals<\/span><\/p>\n

Mario Giordano has chosen L'Aquila, an important pharmaceutical site, for the presentation of his new book 'Sciacals, Virus, health and money'.<\/h1>\n

The capital - 20 July 2020 - by Roberta Galeotti<\/a><\/p>\n

I wrote it this morning on the Truth: pharmaceutical companies do many extraordinary things (they treat and save people, they give jobs), but they also do some crap. Good things are known, nobody knows shit<\/strong>. The problem is communication, because it's difficult to talk about these uncomfortable topics.'<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Pharmaceutical companies don't allow these problems to be talked about, "it took me a year to read up on documents, months to check the contents with the lawyers, I closed the book in February and then, this book too, was blocked by the Coronavirus. I was a guest at the Del Debbio, then nothing more!\u201d<\/p>\n

The thorny topics hold back the presentations of the new book by the former director of Tg4, de The newspaper<\/em>, as well as presenter of the denunciation show 'Fuori Dal Coro' broadcast in prime time on Tuesdays on Rete4.<\/p>\n

Despite having written the book before the arrival of the pandemic "I anticipate very current contents, splashed in the headlines with the Covid-19 crisis, because I tell of mechanisms".<\/p>\n

\u201cI dedicated this book to my daughter Camilla who dreams of becoming a doctor. She passionately watched all the episodes of Dr. House' said the Director, explaining how convinced she was that this was enough to become a doctor.
\n'When Camilla was born she was wide-eyed\u2026 this is one area where we need to keep our eyes as wide as hers. I hope that the new generations, like Camilla's, will be able to keep their eyes more open than we did!".<\/p>\n

It was the beginning of 2019, "when I interviewed the former undersecretary for health of the Conte 1 government, who told me about when two emissaries from a pharmaceutical company asked him to pay 20 million euros to buy a right of first refusal for the production of a vaccine against the pandemic. This dream that there may be people who now have a preemptive right and therefore some who can have a vaccine before others \u201d.<\/p>\n

A heated Mario Giordano tells us from the microphones of the underground hall of the Abruzzo Regional Council, moderated by the journalist from L'Aquila Alessandro Rico.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are consultancy firms that take millions of euros, such as in Calabria, where the consultants are paid 1,000 euros a day by the regional service. This system, as it was built, tends more to protect the balance sheets of companies than people's health".<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years we have heard about cuts in health care, then we found ourselves without ventilators having to choose who to save. We have changed our perspective, now we know we have to start investing in health again. Now that we have to rebuild the importance of health, after years of cuts, we must however know the mechanisms behind this world\u201d.<\/p>\n

"In my book, I tell of a drug that increased by 1.500% in one day, the health system continues to \"\"<\/a>buy it and pay for it, without anyone saying anything\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe topics of the new book ' Jackals, viruses, health and money<\/a><\/strong>' are forerunners of a world that, in recent months, we have had to get to know better. I had written Profugopoli, denouncing the system of making money on the skin of refugees, years later it has been discovered that one earns more with refugees than with drugs. In 2018 I wrote Vultures<\/em>, denouncing the wrong motorway system, then the news of the Genoa bridge opened Pandora's box".<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTo date we do not know how our national system purchases drugs, AIFA does not want us to know how much we pay for them. But we know that the European drug agency is financed by 84% by the pharmaceutical companies, the same ones it should control. I want to trust science, but science has to make sure I can trust it."<\/p>\n

As always, director Mario Giordano is a river in full flow: \u201cHalf of the medicines we buy and use are useless!
\nIn my book I publish the list of various medicines on the market, which are even harmful, according to what has been published by a system of free and independent French doctors\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cPharmaceuticals is the only sector in which progress has not implied a decrease in prices. The real game of the future is played on health, we have drugs that can cure more and more ... but they cost more and more! I have always been convinced of one thing: knowledge is the only thing that moves consciences and awakens from the torpor of resignation. Real changes are made with knowledge!\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn't write books that above all bring me complaints, if I weren't convinced that with knowledge consciences are awakened and change is achieved. Since 2016, pharmaceutical companies have chosen to publish lists of the money they give to doctors. They are huge and unmanageable files, I sifted through them and found that they only publish the data of doctors who give their consent. At the bottom there are some numbers with vague references to doctors who have not given their consent to publication. And that should make us open our eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many were unable to attend the book presentation and stayed out due to the distancing.<\/strong><\/p>\n
