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. John’s website is http://www.john-virapen.com 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. |
