(NaturalNews) Known alternately to various people as a "sociopath," "hate monger," "pathological liar" and "a danger to society,"
vaccine frontman and Big Pharma shill Dr. David Gorski is even less-well thought of by many of his former patients. According to
this physician rating site, descriptions ranged from "horribly arrogant" and "extremely unprofessional," to dismissive and more interested in "blogging" than patient care.
There's a reason for all that blogging though, and it has nothing to do with advancing medical knowledge and science.
It has much more to do with
profit. You see, much of what Gorski blogs about is defense of the
traditional medical system and Big Pharma. Using the pen name "ORAC," Gorski "leads the pack in his efforts to obscure the vaccine-autism connection, promoting
mercury in vaccines and calling everybody a skeptic who doesn't bow down to chemical medicine," notes
TruthWiki.
"In case anybody's wondering what David Gorski's connection is to the autism debate, he has undisclosed financial ties to the vaccine industry,"
writes Jake Crosby at
Age Of Autisim. "He has made no mention of these connections..."
Third-party connection?
Cosby notes further:
"Well, it so happens Sanofi-Aventis – the world's largest vaccine maker - is involved in several partnerships under which the company may be required to pay a total of €31 million ($39 million USD) from 2008 to 2013. Gorski's employer, Wayne State University, is one of the partners, and he is conducting a clinical trial of one of the company's drugs."
And like fellow Big Pharma and vaccine shill
Paul Offit – who concealed millions he received from Merck in royalty payments after the pharmaceutical company paid them to a third party and not directly to Offit – Crosby believes that Gorski also stands a good chance of receiving money from a maker of
vaccines, even if it too, comes via a third party.
Gorski's stated laboratory work is that he focuses on research and development of new drugs, however Crosby claims that he is not developing a new drug, but rather trying to develop new uses for an existing one. And that is a process much more valuable to a drug maker that does not have to spend large sums of money on new research and development, thereby maximizing profits.
"When we observe the behavior of sociopathic individuals like Dr. David Gorski – ORAC – we consistently find a pattern of exploiting innocent people for personal profit and greed," said Mike Adams, author of
Food Forensics, science lab director of
CWCLabs, editor of NaturalNews.com and creator of
Medicine.news.
Repurposing – and re-monetizing – an existing drug
"In a pharmaceutical industry that routinely exploits children for profit, Dr. Gorski has become the poster child for 'science rage' online trolling," Adams continued. "But Dr. Gorski is to science what Kim Jong-Un is to democracy. He wields the word 'science' as a weapon while initiating character assassination campaigns against complementary medicine doctors and advocates of natural healing modalities."
The drug Gorski is attempting to make much more profitable – and for which he is in the process of setting up clinical trials – is the ALS drug Riluzole, manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis and marketed as Rilutek, Crosby reported.
What makes the conflict even more profound is that the same drug is
also being studied for the treatment of autism:
"At Autism One, the National Institute of Mental Health was handing out recruitment pamphlets for children ages 7-17 to take part as subjects in a clinical trial of Riluzole for its effectiveness in the treatment of
autism spectrum disorders, and repetitive and stereotypical behaviors in particular. Apparently, David Gorski has had his eye on that drug for a long time, but as a possible treatment for breast cancer."
'Very real and present danger'
There is additional cause to believe that Gorski may be angling for profit here. At present, the Barbara Anne Karmanos Cancer Institute of Wayne State University is sponsoring the Riluzole trials. Also, Wayne State is the only university listed in the Yahoo! Finance stock summary of Sanofi-Aventis as being part of a financial partnership with the company, Crosby wrote.
And, "Sanofi-Aventis owns Sanofi-Pasteur, the second largest
manufacturer of vaccines in the world, including both
thimerosal-preserved vaccines, and MMR vaccines," he wrote.
"I have no doubt that if Dr. Gorski were not practicing medicine, he would be committing fraud in some other sector of society," Adams said. "He remains a very real and present danger to not just the medical patients of Michigan, but to the very credibility of the 'science' he claims to represent."
Crosby notes that while Gorski was upfront about his
Big Pharma funding some 14 years ago regarding a patent and funding he received from various institutions with which he was affiliated, he has been far less upfront about funding from Big Pharma he has received through his institution.
