Assignment task: In this Ted Talk by ben Goldacre, he talks about all the clinical trials that are not published, specifically the ones with negative outcomes. Goldacre says that we are led to believe the information the pharmaceutical companies put out there, and we never hear about the things scientists got wrong. Goldacre emphasizes that without proper knowledge of the medicine they are prescribing, they cannot truly help their patients. Goldacre talks about a drug, Lorcainide, that was supposed to suppress abnormal heart rate and how the clinical trial for that drug was never published because it was seen as a failure. Due to the drug trial not being published, several years later other drug companies that had similar goals were brought to the market causing thousands of deaths. Towards the end of the Ted Talk, Ben Goldacre says that the government tried to solve the problem of publication bias with several solutions, but to no avail. Goldacre tells his viewers that this is a serious problem and that we should be allowed access to all of the data from the trials. He ends his Ted Talk by saying that the problem is an easy fix. So how do you think we could fix this issue? Do you think that we should allow companies that haven't registered to sell their drug on the market evein if it causes mass death? How would you feel if a doctor prescribed you a drug that had negative outcomes, but they were not made public? Finally, do you think there should be tighter regulations that must be followed in a clinical trial?
