Default Interview with Dr. John Virapen

Interview with Dr. John Virapen

Pharmaceutical insider Dr. John Virapen has worked more than 35 years in
the pharmaceutical industry. In Sweden he was general manager of Eli
Lilly & Company and was involved in the market launch of several drugs,
all with massive side effects.

John Virapen published his first book under the pseudonym “John Rengen in

2006. “Rubio Talks – A Story From A Pharma-Insider” is about his
activity as a manager in the pharmaceutical industry. In 2008 his new
book “Side Effects: Death” was published and is currently a best-seller
in Europe. John Virapen is now de-dicated to expose and create awareness
on how the pharmaceutical industry is operating with their own best
interest as their primary goal.

DN: How did you discover that pets were targeted by

the Pharmaceutical companies?

John Virapen: Although I was primarily involved in this for children, I
had met a homeopath who owned two Yorkshire Terriers. As I observed her
relationship with her dogs, I understood that people could become as
close knit to their dogs as to their children. The common thread is
life; and Pharma, with the help of the government, is destroying it.



DN: How has pet insurance changed veterinary care?

John Virapen: Expensive new diagnostic and surgical gadgets are
primarily designed to screw the insurance companies. Vets and doctors
are both very well paid to use these fancy tools and the pet owners pay
the price in higher fees. There are numerous opportunities for Pharma to
corrupt the marketing of animal medicine because nobody really checks
them. These people make a lot of money because nobody questions them and
the animals get the short end of the stick. Vets can do whatever they
want without fear of malpractice suits because dogs are property and
their value is insufficient to be much of a threat. Last year they
released a new anti-depressant for dogs and this is just crookery. The
pharmaceutical companies have a strong hold on the veterinary business
and they are incapable of being honest. In the end, the individual vets
and their associations must be the ones to stop the madness.



DN: Why are dogs targeted so heavily?

John Virapen: With all of the debates going on regarding vaccination
primarily, the animals get short changed because government makes people
believe it is for granted that if we, as humans, get vaccinations then
animals should as well. They depict dogs and cats as nasty carriers of
bugs. This is why in North America, dogs aren’t allowed in markets,
stores or restaurants. It is discrimination really. The bottom line is
money and the Pharmaceutical companies are fleecing people of their
money. Pet owners must purchase licenses which should give those rights
but does the opposite because we all know that dogs have no rights.
Pretty soon we will need to get permission to deal with our kids too. In
Leipzig, there is a push for mandatory psychiatric evaluation of infants
and soon, mothers will lose control of their children.



DN: Why are animal vaccinations more problematic than human vaccinations?

John Virapen: The pharmaceutical companies use vaccinations and drugs
they can’t dispense for humans on

dogs. This includes expired lots as well as products not approved for
human use. They then use fear monger-ing to market it. I recruited the
General Manager of animal product in Scandinavia and we had frequent
con-versations. He warned me of the many issues with the animal
products. For example, while the company was still trying to get
approval for Human Growth Hormone for animals, they were already
injecting it into pigs and cows. They didn’t care that the HGH was
contaminated: they were mostly waste from the human market although
humans would be consuming these animals in the end.



DN: How are these products marketed?

John Virapen: The media now works so closely with Pharma that it is
called seeding. For example the press

might claim that women with big bums are protected from diabetes. Soon
thereafter, the media will feature a doctor talking about these findings
then a few months later the press will announce “we are close to a
break-through for diabetes”. This build up is meticulously designed to
scare people because Pharma knows that people still run to their doctor
when the government or media reports any new

virus or disease. Marketing strategies are planned years ahead. If a new
product is on the way, the Pharm-aceutical companies will do the market
research first and based on that, lay down strategies in terms of time
and method. This is normally done with a five year projection before
launch. Their ploys include personal letters to vets and doctors with
large practices, targeting specific sections of medicine (dogs, cats),
gathering information on how many animals can be target, who owns them
(and they get information from licenses so

the government is in on it). It is a well kept secret that government
gets their piece of the cake too. When this information is all in place,
the pharmaceutical companies then need contacts so they go to the
professional associations such as the AVMA and pick out a guy who is
willing to accept bribes and goodies in return for solicitation. They
also look to government. When politicians wear out, they are not put to
pasture, they are picked up by Pharma. They work as consultants so that
Pharma has a government connection and they are impossible to convict
because they are all glued together. The WHO is also entwined into one
group con-trolled by Pharma as they work together to create pandemics
and then go to industrial sections such as food companies and tell them
what to do and what to sell. Marketing is the single highest cost for
pharmaceutical

companies, not research



DN: What can people do about it?

John Virapen: My aim is to get people to understand that they need to
take their own lives into account. I have been mislabeled as a
conspiracy theorist but they will learn they are messing with the wrong
guy because everything I say I have evidence for and the documents are
safely in a vault. Vets want to be accepted as doctors and they like the
title and power. The title doesn’t make you God or an expert; it only
depicts a level of education. Unfortunately, vets and doctors are
behaving like Pharma trains them to behave. Unless you are hospitalized
you are not a patient. When you visit a Doctor or a Veterinarian you are
a consumer and you pay for the medicine and you must remember they are
not demi-gods. If a car’s brakes don’t work every time, if the
windshield falls out when it is driven over 40 kph, or if it’s exhaust
fumes are channeled into the inside of the car, it wouldn’t make it onto
the market. Medicines with equally dangerous side effects do. Why
consumers are better protected against defective cars than against what
happens to their bodies, to their health or to their lives? Of course,
not the entire pharmaceutical industry is bad. I can’t judge them all
since I don’t know all of the companies. But the search for an
ethnically pure company can be equated with searching for a needle in a
haystack.
