Our governments seem to have lost control of oligopolies. Big pharma is clearly manipulative and needs calling out but also protection against the monopoly power they wield over the real research so often done in small specialised pharmaceutical labs. Watching for successes to buy up has led to some of the most unethical pharma results particularly in the pandemic where Pfizer could be described as a warlord. MSM is advert funded and editors instructed to make positioning of major ads the controller not the article. It is important that truely independant report finds a model free of advertising and corruption. I am delighted that you are able to report as freely as you do and a subscription model is great for that. But maybe as a barrier to rogue journo entry - an ethics guaranteed statement is needed throughout the Substack.
