Medicine and Public Health
How American medicine and public health came to be funded, staffed and legally protected by the industries they oversee, and which questions they declined to answer.
- 01
The Founding
How Carnegie, Rockefeller and the AMA rebuilt American medicine between 1901 and 1930, and what the foundations wrote about why.
- 02
The Template Goes Global
Rockefeller personnel and money in the League of Nations health body and the early WHO; the Gates Foundation as successor.
- 03
The Studies Not Run
The comparisons that would settle the safety of the childhood schedule, and the record of decisions not to make them.
- 04
The Filtered Record
Unpublished trials, selective reporting, ghostwritten reviews and retractions that arrived decades late.
- 05
The Shield
From the Cutter incident to the 1986 Act and the PREP Act: how liability for recommended products was removed.
- 06
Money, Fees and the Revolving Door
Industry user fees at FDA, lobbying, and the movement of officials between regulators and the regulated.
- 07
What Was Known and When
Cutter, SV40, EcoHealth, myocarditis: the gap between internal knowledge and public statements.
- 08
Cancer: The Unasked Questions
Early-onset cancer, glyphosate and SV40, and the studies regulators did not commission.
- 09
Harm from Care
What medical care itself costs in lives, and why the estimates range tenfold.
- 10
The Terrain
Water, food, housing and labor: what drove the historic fall in mortality, and what it implies for health now.
- 11
Industrial Poisons and Delayed Disclosure
Minamata, PFOA, lead, tobacco and DES: the dates of exposure, warning, disclosure and intervention.
- 12
Military Exposure and the Classified Record
Agent Orange, Camp Lejeune, Gulf War illness, radiation experiments and MKULTRA: exposure, secrecy and delayed accountability.
- 13
Patients Against the Official Record
Infected blood and Lyme disease: patients, disputed evidence, guideline authority and the record recovered through investigation.
