The Deadly Toll of Prescription Drugs
Created on: 2024-05-14
Dr Peter Gøtzsche, a leading researcher and writer on medicine, recently published a paper entitled:
Prescription Drugs are the Leading Cause of Death
and psychiatric drugs are the third leading cause of death
It's a powerful text, going through different classes of drugs, studies that have been done to estimate the harms they cause, the limitations of these studies, and the reasons for Gøtzsche's own estimates. In conclusion, he writes:
"If we add the estimates . . . , 315,000 hospital deaths, 390,000 psychiatric drug deaths, 70,000 synthetic opioid deaths, and 107,000 NSAID deaths, we get 882,000 drug deaths in the United States annually. . . .
"It is difficult to know what the exact death toll of our drugs is, but there can be no doubt that they are the leading cause of death."
