EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring John Abramson and Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan Experience #1756 - John Abramson explores joe Rogan, John Abramson Expose How Big Pharma Captures Modern Medicine Joe Rogan interviews physician and author Dr. John Abramson about his book *Sickening*, which argues that U.S. healthcare is structurally distorted by pharmaceutical industry profit motives. Abramson explains how drug companies control clinical trial data, shape medical journals and guidelines, and exploit weak regulation to maximize revenue at the expense of public health. They discuss landmark cases like Vioxx, Bextra, Neurontin, the opioid crisis, insulin pricing, and the controversial approval of the Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm as examples of systemic failure rather than isolated scandals. The conversation also covers COVID-19 vaccines, ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies, and the broader role of lifestyle, inequality, and government oversight in determining Americans’ poor health outcomes despite the world’s highest healthcare spending.
