Being cynical about &#x27;Big Pharma&#x27; does not mean that you support &lt;insert pseudoscience&#x2F;buzzword category here&gt; placebos, and does not mean that you do not support honest scientific efforts.<p>For example, Ben Goldacre. He is cynical about &#x27;Big Pharma&#x27;, and has written about it in one of his books[0]. At the same time he appears to support efforts to open up private medical research -- he recently cofounded AllTrials[2] along with the BMJ, Cochrane, PLOS, and a few other high-profile reputable sources[3].<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Bad_Pharma" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Bad_Pharma</a>
