Killing US war veterans with antidepressants. https://bit.ly/48B06HF. My article about a very moving meeting the veterans held at the Capitol last June and the insanity in prescribing drugs that double suicides to people with war traumas.
OECD report shows that Big Pharma routinely bribes prescribers, drug regulators, government officials and others. https://bit.ly/4tUt5hA. I wrote a whole book in 2013 documenting that the business model of Big Pharma is organised crime.
General health checks are harmful. But the authorities torture the data till they confess. A “Yes, Minister” farce where there is a lot to laugh at. Read my article about our research and the reactions: https://bit.ly/41zsJB8.
Obama hails Hungary's election result as a "victory for democracy" worldwide. It is a blow for Trump, who endorsed the pro-Russian leader, Viktor Orbán, during the campaign. https://bit.ly/41OmwS1. Magyar’s Tisza party is set to secure two-thirds of seats in parliament.
JD Vance was in Hungary to provide support to the most despicable leader we have in Europe, Trump’s only friend, the fascistoid dictator Viktor Orbán, ahead of elections on Sunday, https://bit.ly/4cdl6VB. Orbán is Putin’s closest partner in the EU. Vance launched a bitter attack on the European Union and Ukraine accusing the EU of "one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I have ever seen or ever even read about.” Really? Why did Vance go to Hungary? Don’t Americans have enough troubles elsewhere, including at home? How dumb does the Trump administration think we are? When will we get rid of these mad and rude people in the Wild House?
Like all bad boys, Trump has the wrong friends. Benjamin Netanyanhu in Israel and Viktor Orbán in Hungary, which is the closest we have come to a dictatorship in a European country. JD Vance is in Hungary to support Orbán in the elections on Sunday. Putin will appreciate it. Orbán must go.
Trump threatens to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age and continues talking about negatiations with Iran that have never taken place. “Trump is an unstable person characterised by delusions and contradictions,” said the Iranian minister for culture and tourism. “He is out of balance, both personally, behaviourally, and linguistically, and constantly changes between contradictory opinions.” US legacy media only conveys that the Iranian minister said Trump was unstable. It is far worse than that. Remove him from office, please. He even says it is other nations’ job to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Has he already forgotten who it was that created the disaster we now have? Himself!
As I have explained in articles and books, mammography screening is harmful and does not save lives. https://bit.ly/410y58g. Those who did the early trials were all men, and men were also the most aggressive when screening was criticised. What if the world was run by women?
Trump’s grandiose building projects are like Hitler’s. His grand ball room in the Wild House is full of elementary errors. https://bit.ly/3NUgNXk. And the cost is a staggering $400 mio. in a country where people cannot survive on the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.
Over 8 million Americans protested against wannabe king, Trump, his tyranny and billionaire cronies. https://bit.ly/4ccxuX7. The Wild House called the protests "Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions." The tyrants have no humour or empathy. It is Trump and his useful idiots who are deranged.
Long ago, people invented new drugs to cure diseases. Now, people invent new diseases to sell their drugs. Psych drugs have little effect and cannot cure people, which is ideal for the drug industry because many people take them for decades believing they are helpful.
World premieres in Norway 23-26 September for our two documentary films: Cochraniumand The illusion of psychiatry: https://bit.ly/4dWV5we. These are films about censorship, Cochrane’s moral and scientific collapse, and about what happens to whistleblowers who think scientific honesty is more important than political expediency and commercial and guild interests.
Why mammography screening doesn’t and cannot work. And how cancer charities deliberately disinform the public. See my article: https://bit.ly/410y58g. The lies must end now and so must mammography screening.
Trump’s confabulations reach new heights. He says he negotiates with Iran and that "They're great negotiators." Problem is that there is no negotiation. Does he also hear voices?
Trump’s confabulations reach new hights. He says that he negotiates with Iran and that "They're great negotiators." Problem is that there is no negotiation. “We’re winning so big, nobody’s ever seen anything like we’re doing in the Middle East with Iran … And they are negotiating by the way, and they want to make a deal so badly, but they’re afraid to say it.” I argued four days ago that Trump cannot be removed from office for reasons of insanity, https://bit.ly/4t1vwi4, but maybe I am wrong. At any rate, he should be removed as quickly as possible.
Trump’s grandiosity complex endangers the whole world, but even though many of his utterings and actions are mad, he cannot be removed from office for reasons of insanity. Like a mafia boss, he rules via fear and he grabs what he wants, be it countries or women. https://bit.ly/4t1vwi4.
Retweeters have argued that viruses don't exist, that I am a liar, that Jake Scott has shown numerous errors in Aaron Siri’s presentation, and that his team is a bunch of tinfoil hats. Why do some people want to make fools of themselves? Jake Scott misleads people, see my two articles https://bit.ly/45l6Yar and https://bit.ly/4bnJm8v. And please think before sending. If you are rude to me or others, I will block you.
Federal judge blocks Kennedy’s vaccine reforms. The verdict is a disaster but it will be appealed https://bit.ly/4rNe8N9. As usual, the coverage in the media is misleading. This is the best vaccine book I have ever read:
Hvem skal vi stemme på til folketingsvalget? Jeg synes, at miljøet er langt det vigtigste ved dette valg. Vi har døde fjorde, men Magnus Heunicke han snakker bare og gør intet ved det, så man kan ikke stemme på Socialdemokratiet. Vores landbrug har ødelagt miljøet, frem for alt pga. af den ekstremt store og uetiske svineproduktion, så det udelukker også en række partier, fx Venstre.
Og så har vi alt det utålelige valgflæsk. Moderaterne vil indføre sundhedstjek, selvom min forskning har vist, at det ikke gavner og faktisk er skadeligt. Liberal Alliance går ind for fri huslejefastsættelse for lejeboliger, hvilker ville være en katastrofe. De vil også skaffe fri adgang til kræftmedicin, hvilket er totalt uansvarligt, da det meste overhovedet ikke hjælper, men er hundedyrt, og de har en formand, der har taget kokain, mens han var formand.
Jeg kan kun se tre partier, det er værd at stemme på, fordi de alle går ind for at begrænse svineavlen meget væsentligt: Det Radikale Venstre, Alternativet og Enhedslisten.
Trump was sour he did not get the Nobel Peace Prize, which he indecently asked for before the committee decided to avoid him. In his first year in office, he bombed 7 countries: Iran, Venezuela, Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq. No US president ever did that before.
Dear Christian, I did not see your tweet as a joke because what you wrote is what leading psychiatrists want us to believe. They are so utterly dishonest!
you are so horribly wrong that words fail me. You need to study the science please and not just regurgitate pharma propaganda. There is no biological cause of postpartum depression and there is no chemical cure. Rubbish!
Article in a leading psychiatry journal, JAMA Psychiatry, stinks of corruption. https://bit.ly/4bFhDPI. Why pay $2,000 a month for a new antipsychotic, which is almost double as much as the federal minimum wage in the United States when such drugs cannot cure anyone but kill?
Adverse drug events are a major killer but the US has no national strategy. American Society of Pharmacovigilance convenes national leaders for Medication Safety Policy Roundtable in Washington, D.C. on March 24. See press release: https://bit.ly/4cT8jdd.

There is no serious danger of leaving depression in pregnant women untreated with antidepressants. Absolutely none. The clinical effect is far below what is clinically relevant and the drugs double suicides and have many other serious harms. It is naive to think that clinicians can weigh benefits and harms. If they did, no one would use antidepressants.
Helping the US in the Strait of Hormuz is like 'buying tickets for the Titanic after it hits the iceberg.' Quote from the French general Michel Yakovleff. https://bit.ly/4bjpZvS
SSRIs should not be used at all during pregnancy. See the comment by Annika Jansson (I know her true identity) to the petition for better FDA warnings: https://bit.ly/3Pp5Flv. Psychiatrist David Healy and I found that fluoxetine reduced height by 1.0 cm and weight by 1.1 kg over just 19 weeks when given to children. https://bit.ly/3fO7VkY. We concluded that fluoxetine in children and adolescents is unsafe and ineffective. I would expect SSRIs during pregnancy to be even more unsafe.
Europe says no to helping the US, because Trump has no plan for his war against Iran. Read a Danish news release about why the European respect for Trump’s USA is gone, even in the UK, traditionally USA’s closest ally in Europe. https://bit.ly/4bvY7VE.
Very important: SSRIs should not be used at all during pregnancy. But for a start, here is a petition for better FDA warnings: https://downloads.regulations.gov/FDA-2025-P-3956-0001/attachment_1.pdf. Open for comments until 23 March, which can be anonymous. Could be professional, or personal stories from mothers who experienced complications. See also the recent FDA panel meeting on SSRIs in pregnancy: https://bit.ly/3PmkJQT.
The bottom of scientific trustworthiness. Paediatrics & Child Health, the journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society has published 138 fake case reports with learning points for 25 years without stating anywhere that the cases are fictional. https://bit.ly/4bethC7. Unbelievable.
Why you should not get screened for prostate cancer. https://bit.ly/4lyHSeX. Screening does not prolong life and the harms of treatment of harmless, overdiagnosed cancers are immense. The American Cancer Society misleads the public and enrich themselves.
I was interviewed by Patrick Bet-David for one of the biggest podcast channels in the USA in September where I talked about organised crime in Big Pharma, with bribery, corruption, illegal marketing, obstruction of justice, and research and marketing fraud. https://bit.ly/4lwvHPH. We discussed why our prescription drugs are the leading cause of death, antidepressants, ADHD, mammography screening, and how Merck covered up for serious harms of their arthritis drug, Vioxx, and their HPV vaccines. Patrick was highly professional and his staff found relevant documentation he presented while we were speaking, underlining that what I had just said was correct.
Trump is a climate change denier and forced the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to rescind its endangerment finding. https://bit.ly/471aesi. The award for the best kiss of Trump’s ass (see the satire: https://bit.ly/4bbHQ9o) should go to EPA Administrator, Lee Zeldin, who praised what he called a new Golden Age of economic growth, saying: “I am proud to deliver the single largest deregulatory action in US history on behalf of American taxpayers and consumers.” If it could have any effect, I would deny that Trump ever existed.
In Holland, doctors have killed over 100,000 patients, calling it euthanasia. https://bit.ly/4uxndfg. A psychiatrist argued that psychiatric euthanasia reduces the risk of suicide. So, if we killed all people, there would be no suicides, right? I find it horrible that doctors kill, whether without consent by forced treatment with antipsychotics, or with consent.
R to @PGtzsche1: If your claim was correct, our drugs would not be the leading cause of death. As you are a doctor, you should know better. Please, for the benefit of your patients, study the evidence
Over-diagnosis and over-treatment are preferable to under-diagnosis and under-treatment, which are with us now, on account of significant rationing, as reflected by delays throughout the NHS.
Diagnosis and treatment sum up healthcare, with too much better than too little, IMHO.
The Mass Psychiatric Drugging of America's Poorest Children. https://bit.ly/4rsYzdj. This article is heart-breaking. In Oregon, more than one in three children on Medicaid received a psychiatric drug in a single year. And the top drug class is antipsychotics. The drugging of 0–5-year-olds in the US is also other-wordly. Aldous Huxley was far ahead of his time with “Brave New World.” Give them all a soma pill so we won’t hear their cries for help in poor, broken families.
Fit for the future is the title of a catastrophical 10-year plan for the National Health Service in England, which is already a catastrophe, with record-high waiting lists, severe staffing shortages, and crumbling infrastructure. The report is written in an alienating bureaucratic and technocratic language. https://bit.ly/4brv8lV. The word counts are instructive: “digital” (122), “AI” (107), “genomics” (51), and “genome” (17) versus “poverty” (9), “suffer/ing” (7), “continuity” (4), “violence” (2), “solidarity” (2), “comfort” (1), and “kindness” (0). The conquering rhetoric of risk and prevention far outweighs any exploration of the language of illness and disease, of fear and hope, that is the reality of the consulting room.
The climax of stupidity is the proposal of subjecting all newborns in England to genetic sequencing. Population genetic screening with its many false positives, false negatives, and unpredictable clinical consequences of mutations can generate a lifetime of anxiety for parents and their children. We run the risk of turning future generations into patients from the moment they are born, with immense overdiagnosis and overtreatment. While politicians cannot alter our genetic code they can tackle income inequality. But it is not a political priority to lessen it. In fact, inequality in the UK has increased significantly since the 1980s.
Psychiatric diagnoses are not monsters that can attack people, but the reification of mental health issues is harmful. https://bit.ly/3N2Kc1c. It is circular reasoning (tautology); it provides people with pseudoexplanations; and it gives the power to the psychiatrists to define who you are while ignoring the real issues, which could in some cases have cured you by focussing on the root causes for your issues. Instead, arbitrary and unscientific diagnoses lead to huge overtreatment with harmful drugs.
Allen Frances, chairman for the DSM-IV task force, which updated the psychiatric diagnosis manual used in the USA, has argued that the responsibility for defining psychiatric conditions needs to be taken away from the American Psychiatric Association because new diagnoses are as dangerous as new drugs.
We should scrap the whole psychiatric diagnosis system and focus instead on the issues patients have and try to help them the best we can without labelling and drugging them. We should also stop tautological thinking, as it is harmful nonsense.
Psychiatric patient won a forced treatment case against the Norwegian State. This is unprecedented and therefore very significant. https://bit.ly/4sEMG4G. It is very difficult to win lawsuits about psychiatry, even when gross malpractice is involved and the psychiatrists have violated basic human rights, national laws and international conventions about forced treatment.
The legal protection psychiatric patients have can best be described as a sham. As usual, the key psychiatrist for the State lied in court, and the judge at the lower court was unprofessional and ruled against the law. I also document that Norwegian psychiatry is at a catastrophically low level and that key opinion leaders disinform society about their specialty.
