Big Pharma Lawsuits for Deaths, Fraud, Cancer, Bribery & Jury Tampering
Why would anyone trust Big Pharma?
It’s almost unbelievable that no murder charges have ever been filed against Big Pharma, despite the overwhelming evidence of corporate misconduct that has directly led to thousands of deaths. Pharmaceutical companies like Purdue Pharma, Merck, and Johnson & Johnson have been caught red-handed pushing dangerous drugs while hiding critical safety data, leading to widespread harm and loss of life. Yet, these companies have consistently avoided murder charges through a combination of legal loopholes, aggressive defense tactics, and the sheer complexity of proving intent in corporate wrongdoing. Instead of facing criminal charges, they’ve settled civil lawsuits for billions, focusing on product liability and negligence, while intentionally avoiding any acknowledgment of malicious intent. By framing these cases as accidents or failures in regulation, Big Pharma has successfully shielded itself from the ultimate legal accountability, murder charges, while continuing to profit from the very drugs and vaccines that caused these deaths. The fact that these companies have escaped with settlements rather than criminal convictions for what can only be described as gross negligence, if not outright corporate indifference to human life, shows just how deeply flawed and skewed the legal system is when it comes to holding powerful corporations accountable for preventable deaths.
The Pharmaceutical Industry’s Deadly Contradiction
Pharmaceutical companies have been linked to numerous deaths through negligence and fraud. Despite overwhelming evidence, murder charges have rarely been pursued. Here’s a breakdown of major cases where these companies contributed to deaths and avoided murder charges:
1. Purdue Pharma: Opioid Crisis
Deaths: 450,000+ from opioid overdoses linked to OxyContin.
Murder Avoided: Purdue faced fraud and negligence charges, settling through bankruptcy proceedings instead of facing murder charges.
2. Merck: Vioxx
Deaths: 60,000+ from heart attacks and strokes linked to Vioxx.
Murder Avoided: Merck faced civil lawsuits and settlements, with no murder charges filed due to lack of proven intent.
3. Johnson & Johnson: Talcum Powder
Deaths: Thousands linked to ovarian cancer and mesothelioma from asbestos-contaminated powder.
Murder Avoided: Focus on product liability and fraud, avoiding murder charges despite the deaths.
4. Takeda Pharmaceuticals: Actos
Deaths: Numerous deaths from bladder cancer linked to Actos.
Murder Avoided: Takeda settled fraud and product liability cases, with no murder charges filed.
5. Bayer/Monsanto: Roundup
Deaths: Thousands linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma from glyphosate in Roundup.
Murder Avoided: Monsanto faced lawsuits and paid a $10.9 billion settlement, but no murder charges were filed.
Creating Cancer for Profit
Pharmaceutical companies that profit from cancer treatments have been caught pushing drugs that cause cancer. Here’s a quick overview:
Zantac (Ranitidine): Contained carcinogen NDMA, leading to billions in settlements.
Asbestos in Talcum Powder (J&J): Caused ovarian cancer and mesothelioma, resulting in settlements.
Roundup (Bayer/Monsanto): Glyphosate linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, with a $10.9 billion settlement.
Actos (Takeda): Linked to bladder cancer, with billions in lawsuits.
Vioxx (Merck): Linked to heart attacks and deaths, resulting in billions in settlements.
Prempro (Wyeth/Pfizer): Linked to breast cancer, with a $1.4 billion settlement.
How can we trust an industry that profits from "treating" cancer while its products contribute to the epidemic they claim to fight?

Legal cases reveal a pattern of fraud, deceit, and manipulation, where companies hide safety data, bribe doctors and regulators, and push harmful products for profit. With lawsuits exposing high-profile cases of witness tampering and falsified data, the corruption within Big Pharma is undeniable. It’s a deliberate pattern of behavior with devastating consequences for patients.
As long as the public keeps looking for a "quick fix" to what ails 'em...pharma will only get MORE HUGE. Natural treatments and integrated medicine are the way I have chosen to treat physical issues in my body....takes longer but it is curative and doesn't have nasty side effects. I'm in the minority, sad to say. Perhaps RFK, Jr. will have some success to 'reprograming' the public to look within and make necessary lifestyle changes and consult with naturopaths or holistic MD's instead of running to take the 'latest and greatest' magic medication plugged by huge pharma/MSM in these 'feel good' adverts that are blaring at us all night long on the TV and computer!! That's my hope anyway.
Excellent well laid out research, I've added this to my online library, thank you!
