Re: Let public see doctors’ ties to drug companies - This is a *really* good idea!

[Guest guest]

The idea of a government-funded web site that would allow members of

the public to look up any doctor or academic and see their

corporate/government/nonprofit connections/grants/etc. is a REALLY

good one.

This would be simple to implement and it would be incredibly effective

in showing some of the causes of the conflicts of interest,

stonewalling and bad science, work not in the public interest.

Money is tight and the temptation to take it must be great. They as

well as we should be able to weigh the risks and effects of

corruption.
