"Peter C Gøtzsche graduated as a Master of Science in biology and chemistry in 1974 and as a physician 1984. He is a specialist in internal medicine; worked with clinical trials and regulatory affairs in the drug industry 1975-1983, and at hospitals in Copenhagen 1984-95. With about 80 others, he co-founded the Cochrane Collaboration in 1993 (the founder is Sir Iain Chalmers), and established the Nordic Cochrane Centre the same year. He became professor of Clinical Research Design and Analysis in 2010 at the University of Copenhagen and has been a member of the Cochrane Governing Board twice. He writes at Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime and founded the Institute for Scientific Freedom in 2019."
"In his 2019 book, Death of a Whistleblower and Cochrane’s Moral Collapse (FILMS: 9 March 2019, Death of a whistleblower: scientific censorship in action (23:00); 8 June 2019, Death of a Whistleblower and Cochrane’s Moral Collapse (1:06:56), transcript), Gøtzsche documents institutional corruption in one of the world’s most venerated scientific institutions. John Ioannidis, a famed professor and medical researcher at Stanford, wrote a letter to the Danish Minister of Health condemning Gøtzsche’s dismissal from the Nordic Cochrane Centre: “Peter is undoubtedly a giant, one of the greatest scientists of our times … I believe that basic respect for scientific discourse requires that you do not eliminate your opponents through administrative machinations”. Additionally, 3,500 scientists and health-care professionals signed a letter in protest of Gøtzsche’s treatment."
