Will definitely watch this. Title reminds me of the 1965 book that put Ralph Nader on the map as a consumer advocate; Unsafe At Any Speed, about the Chevrolet Corvair. I could envision a modern day knockoff; Unsafe and Ineffective At Any Dose.

"Any institution or organization driven by the profit motive will downplay safety issues with their products." Seriously? So an elevator company will downplay the safety of their product in order to make more profit? Or is it the other way: they will invest in their product's safety in order to make greater profits in the long run? Clearly, the truth is the latter. No profit making company in a free market ever prospered by killing its customers. Peter, your opening statements lacks any reasonable context. If Pfizer is exempt from liability, and if they are given a government monopoly, then of course they will care about nothing but profits, because there are no normal free-market conditions placed on their profits. Your statement damns profits, when it should damn cronyism and corruption. Be more careful in your formulations!
