No More Tears

The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson

De: Gardiner Harris

Narrado por: Gardiner Harris

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An explosive, deeply reported exposé of Johnson & Johnson, one of America’s oldest and most trusted pharmaceutical companies—from an award-winning investigative journalist

“A page-turning drama that raises life-or-death questions about the world’s largest healthcare conglomerate.”—Jonathan Eig, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of King: A Life

One day in 2004, Gardiner Harris, a pharmaceutical reporter for The New York Times, was early for a flight and sat down at an airport bar. He struck up a conversation with the woman on the barstool next to him, who happened to be a drug sales rep for Johnson & Johnson. Her horrific story about unethical sales practices and the devastating impact they’d had on her family fundamentally changed the nature of how Harris would cover the company—and the entire pharmaceutical industry—for the Times. His subsequent investigations and ongoing research since that very first conversation led to this book—a blistering exposé of a trusted American institution and the largest healthcare conglomerate in the world.

Harris takes us light-years away from the company’s image as the child-friendly “baby company” as he uncovers reams of evidence showing decades of deceitful and dangerous corporate practices that have threatened the lives of millions. He covers multiple disasters: lies and cover-ups regarding the link of Johnson’s Baby Powder to cancer, the surprising dangers of Tylenol, a criminal campaign to sell antipsychotics that have cost countless lives, a popular drug used to support cancer patients that actually increases the risk that cancer tumors will grow, and deceptive marketing that accelerated opioid addictions through their product Duragesic (fentanyl) that rival even those of the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma.

Filled with shocking and infuriating but utterly necessary revelations, No More Tears is a landmark work of investigative journalism that lays bare the deeply rooted corruption behind the image of babies bathing with a smile.

“Leave it to Gardiner Harris, the premier pharma reporter of his generation, to take on the industry’s leviathan, laying bare the ruthless soul of ‘America’s favorite company.’ Harris’s tour of the sausage factory is one that doctors, nurses, and their patients should all take, to see for themselves how the business of medicine really works.”—Benedict Carey, award-winning New York Times science correspondent and author of How We Learn

Wow! More dark secrets from another corporate leader in the "Big Pharma" gang...

Thorough research and lots of important information to keep you thinking long after the book is finished 🤔

Incredibly eye opening, a must read

I am far more educated, less naive, yet saddened by the failures on behalf of so many American entities.

Why we need to put power in healthcare team

Amazing book with interesting / crazy information in a well written / researched format.
Especially terrifying with the NIH and HHS firings / MAHA takeover - I was struck by how many doctors spoke out, but the lack of industry regulation / accountability

Amazing

An eye opening expose of Johnson and Johnson and the false belief that even the well informed are being lied and exploited.

The Corruption That Never Ends

Wow! Honestly, I only knew about the J&J baby powder scandal…. To say I’m shocked that there has been THAT many after the fact is an understatement. This story just gives more credence to the fact that the FDA is a sham and corporate greed is above all else, even our own safety!

Unbelievable!

Must read! Heart wrenching!
So sad that so many lives had to be lost and so many families lives had to be affected.

Absolute Must Read!

To be better informed so you be a better health advocate for yourself and your family, this book is and absolute must read. After finishing it, am very surprised this book was actually released give the detailed expose of big pharma and the FDA. Read it!

Seriously riveting!

I love it when investigative journalism rises to the level of incredible storytelling. This one did. I listened to this on normal speed because I didn't want it to end.

Thank you for compiling this!

I appreciate that he narrated his own book. Thank you for compiling this data! I hope that this book does not get pulled off of the market in the US! Other countries are too afraid of legal battles with J&J to publish this.
