One 2010 analysis, written about by Ben Goldacre in the book", found that 85% of drug trials produced by the industry gave positive results, whereas only 50% of government-funded studies did.

As detailed in"Bad Pharma", analyses show that most research demonstrating SSRIs to be ineffective is simply never published — of 74 studies on antidepressants published between 1987 and 2004, 38 showed the drugs were effective, and 36 showed they were not.
The problem with Aduhelm, as it's been presented in the mainstream media, is of one particularly egregious FDA approval, but reporting and analysis of this scandal misses a much larger and more dangerous reality: The corruption of science in the US is endemic to the way science is funded. The solution to this bad science will be hard to come by because the problem runs so deep. Schools that conduct scientific research have had their federal aid decreased, and
