About This Book

Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author Sharyl Attkisson exposes the corruption that has ruled the pharmaceutical industry for decades. Through blatant lies, deep cover-ups, and high-level collusion with government and media, Big Pharma has continuously put profits over people with dangerous results. Now, with her signature investigative rigor and uncompromising commitment to the facts, Sharyl Attkisson takes readers on an shocking journey through the dark underbelly of the pharmaceutical industry.

Follow the Science recounts, in exacting detail, how far the pharmaceutical industry and its supporters in medicine, media, and government will go to protect their profits. Attkisson provides shocking examples that reveal the disturbing callousness our government, public health officials, and top researchers are capable of when it comes to the most vulnerable among us. And she explains, in a graphic sense, how some of the most trusted within our society are willing to commit life-threatening ethics violations.

When caught, they circle the wagons and marshal forces to defend their bad acts and take steps to cruelly silence the injured and smear those who would expose them.This book includes exclusive, eye-opening evidence including: Financial ties between well-known vaccine promoters and the vaccine industry Outrageous collusion between the news media and Big Pharma How Big Pharma teaches slanted information to med students and doctors Government officials secretly admitting vaccines caused some cases of autism The first child seriously injured by Covid vaccines while in Pfizer's study The secretive money backing seemingly independent studies and nonprofits Follow the Science will challenge your assumptions, open your eyes, and inspire you to take action. With its powerful message of truth and justice, this book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of our healthcare system and their own family's health.

I just finished this masterpiece. The book is superb and has a lot of depth in the interworking of the pharma industry practices and how it impacts us. I also appreciated all the resources at the end of the book on the best media outlets to look into and Sharyl also has a great site that I get news from.

This is a great book on the insiders in Big Pharma. It's amazing. The book covers all angles of the industry and could almost be a textbook in its approach to how the pharmaceutical industry overpowers the media. The book contains extensive research that will provide you with new sources for news. Learn from Sharyl how heavily influenced we are by media and the pharmaceutical industry in such a covert manner. Readers would do themselves a favor by reading this book.

I received this book on Monday. I read a couple of chapters each day. The amount of excellent investigative journalism is amazing and greatly appreciated. This book takes a fresh look at the facts and reveals some of the consequences of relying too much on cutting edge medicines. The US spends more than any other country in the world on medical treatments, and we are some of the least healthy in the world today. It fills in the blanks and is a must read for people wanting to get the rest of the story. It clarifies the issues of how the impact from side effects are manipulated and downplayed through the media today. It seems that some of these medications and treatments are harming us and our children, rather than healing.

A must read for an informed people

The author has a great reputation and this is just another example of her great research and reporting. This day and age where truth is manipulated, hidden, or corrupted, Ms Arrkisson lays it on the line. EVERY ADULT needs to read thos book. I taught Science and History for 22 years and I knew what we were being told by many in the medical profession, politicians, big pharma, and the media was flawed. Sharyl not only exposes it but also PROVES IT! Our founders recognized the need of an informed populace. That's the reason for the media's special freedom in the First Amendment. Our media has become more concerned with MONEY and won't expose truth. Our medical professionals took an oath to not cause harm. More people are dying from prescription drugs than any other cause. Why? MONEY! Doctors get kickbacks from Pharma. Hospitals get kickbacks from Pharma! Don't believe me? CHALLENGE YOU, READ THE BOOK!

Sharyl does it again! What a great expose on the Pharma industry!

WOW! The latest book by Sharyl Attkisson Follow The Science… I have read her last two books and they are perfectly written in the forms of evidence and well researched insights. Sharyl Attkisson confirms in her latest book what I have personally suspected for some time. The Pharma industry isn’t telling us everything It should be.

I didn't know!

I consider myself to be pretty up to date on health and medical scandals, but I had no idea about all the revelations in Attkisson's latest page turner! This is written from a true insider's view with meticulous references to sourcing so that even the unbelievable becomes shockingly convincing. My favorite chapter: The Frog Professor. The story of what happened to this researcher encompasses all the themes of the book: coverups, smears, dangerous chemicals in our food and water, and our health crisis. I started out angry but by the end I felt motivated, which was perfect for the flow of the book, which end with an inspiring call to action that is very doable for me. Spoiler Alert: Who knew NBC journalist David Bloom's death was a possible smallpox vaccine adverse event (uncovered by Attkisson's reporting at CBS)?
