你大概没听说过萌蒂。
这是一个美国公司,叫Mundipharma。它是以出售奥施康定,OxyContin,发财的Sacklers家族在中国的子公司。你记得奥施康定,就是阿片类药物(opiod)毒品的商业药品,在美国虽然没有被禁,但与毒品无异。
不过这在中国却很火。
昨天《合众社》挖出萌蒂如何在中国使黑:
In China, Mundipharma managers have required sales representatives to copy patients’ private medical records without consent, in apparent violation of Chinese law, current and former employees told AP. Former reps also said they sometimes disguised themselves as medical staff, putting on white doctor’s coats and lying about their identity to visit patients in the hospital. As in the U.S., marketing material in China made claims about OxyContin’s safety and effectiveness based on company-funded studies and outdated data that has been debunked

关键不是萌蒂有多坏,而是这些在美国被认为构成刑事罪的商业作假(声称奥施康定不上瘾)能在中国站得住脚,查了查,中国方面在合众社捅了篓子后还不见反应,倒是“Mundipharma said it was taking immediate action to investigate the allegations uncovered by AP“。
萌蒂合资已经与26年历史,据说签约是在人民大会堂,可见其根基之深,得益的定是一大族人。美国企业把垃圾毒品在本国被禁后返销落后国家,这不是新事,香烟和垃圾食品就是两大例子,这些倾销都在美国“自由贸易”体制的保护之下,印度和墨西哥就是两个受害者,我说过泛太协议其实不是贸易协议,而是倾销权利,你一旦签了,还坚持民主人权,只那要本国老百姓愿意买,啥也不能禁,在自由贸易之外的任何“危害”都是无关的,想想那些又便宜又好吃的,谁能忍得住?

萌蒂也可以说冤枉,因为它的产品是中国政府自己认可,主动向全国医院推广的,“By early 2017, OxyContin had captured roughly 60 percent of the cancer pain market in China”,主要是用于癌症治疗(止疼)。不过合众社的报道揭露了它既蒙骗的美国政府和美国人民,也蒙骗了中国政府和中国人民。有些在美国定罪的宣传假的依据去年还在中国用。
问题是中国国内不可能没人知道这些内幕,不肯能没人参与,“假医生”可不是洋鬼子能冒充的。“One current and three former sales reps who worked in different parts of China told the AP that managers required them to upload patients’ medical records, obtained without consent, to a company chat group each day”,美国医药产业那套推销手段在中国真是“全面跟进”,有迹象说奥施康定已在中国泛滥(见下文),原来只用于癌症止疼,现在也被用于一般止疼了。对中国医疗界略知一二的人一定知道医生给内瞎吃药瞎打针不是偶然的,而是治疗手段的一部分,只有医保允许(就是出钱),没有该吃不该吃的。
自2011年以来萌蒂已经雇佣了1500多名员工,绝大多数都是医药销售,他们深入到中国300多个城市,继续买通医生,大力推销奥施康定
Fan told AP he has never taken money directly from Mundipharma.
When AP told Fan about Purdue’s 2007 guilty plea, he seemed shocked. He said he had never looked for scientific evidence to prove that sustained release opioids are less likely to cause addiction.
你是在想不到还能见到萌蒂以“科普”为名的推销:
“中国的临床试验”结果
中国法律允许奥施康定用于一般止疼,这法律多少是基于事实,多少是被蒙的,多少是利益集团推的,谁也说不清。合众社揭露的内幕在中国都是非法的,但萌蒂的员工难道不是大部分是中国人?如果中国和美国有什么共同的价值,那就是金钱。
