Immense research in pharmaceuticals is causing resources to go to waste. Time to put an end to it!

Although in medicine there is a lot to celebrate, we have too much. Too many studies, prescriptions, medications, and treatments waste resources, which could be used more efficiently to meet real needs.

For example, antidepressants can save some people their lives. Yet studies funded by pharmaceutical manufacturers have overlapped their advantages and reduced their risks, leading to inappropriate use and unwanted side effects.
