No More Tears

The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson

De: Gardiner Harris

Narrado por: Gardiner Harris

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An explosive, deeply reported exposé of Johnson & Johnson, one of America’s oldest and most trusted pharmaceutical companies—from an award-winning investigative journalist

“A page-turning drama that raises life-or-death questions about the world’s largest healthcare conglomerate.”—Jonathan Eig, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of King: A Life

One day in 2004, Gardiner Harris, a pharmaceutical reporter for The New York Times, was early for a flight and sat down at an airport bar. He struck up a conversation with the woman on the barstool next to him, who happened to be a drug sales rep for Johnson & Johnson. Her horrific story about unethical sales practices and the devastating impact they’d had on her family fundamentally changed the nature of how Harris would cover the company—and the entire pharmaceutical industry—for the Times. His subsequent investigations and ongoing research since that very first conversation led to this book—a blistering exposé of a trusted American institution and the largest healthcare conglomerate in the world.

Harris takes us light-years away from the company’s image as the child-friendly “baby company” as he uncovers reams of evidence showing decades of deceitful and dangerous corporate practices that have threatened the lives of millions. He covers multiple disasters: lies and cover-ups regarding the link of Johnson’s Baby Powder to cancer, the surprising dangers of Tylenol, a criminal campaign to sell antipsychotics that have cost countless lives, a popular drug used to support cancer patients that actually increases the risk that cancer tumors will grow, and deceptive marketing that accelerated opioid addictions through their product Duragesic (fentanyl) that rival even those of the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma.

Filled with shocking and infuriating but utterly necessary revelations, No More Tears is a landmark work of investigative journalism that lays bare the deeply rooted corruption behind the image of babies bathing with a smile.

“In No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson, veteran reporter Gardiner Harris uses his investigative skills to scrutinize the legacy of the company, as well as that of federal regulators.

“Leave it to Gardiner Harris, the premier pharma reporter of his generation, to take on the industry’s leviathan, laying bare the ruthless soul of ‘America’s favorite company.’ Harris’s tour of the sausage factory is one that doctors, nurses, and their patients should all take, to see for themselves how the business of medicine really works.”—Benedict Carey, award-winning New York Times science correspondent and author of How We Learn

Amazing

An eye opening expose of Johnson and Johnson and the false belief that even the well informed are being lied and exploited.

Wow! More dark secrets from another corporate leader in the "Big Pharma" gang...

Thorough research and lots of important information to keep you thinking long after the book is finished 🤔

Many truths uncovered

The stories that are linked to each of the medication’s and outcomes including the present day. Txt he lies by the executives!

Ashamed to Know They Lied to Me for Twenty Years

I dislike learning like so many other's, I too drank the punch and sometimes asked for seconds

Incredibly eye opening, a must read

I am far more educated, less naive, yet saddened by the failures on behalf of so many American entities.

How utterly corrupt they are!

A must read for every American! It revealed so much good information. I thought I knew a lot about the subject and the FDA, boy was I wrong!

Horrifying but not surprising

This book was so disturbing that I had to put it down several times. I work in corporate America so I am familiar with their practices, but this is really next level. Heartbreaking

Why we need to put power in healthcare team

Amazing book with interesting / crazy information in a well written / researched format.
Especially terrifying with the NIH and HHS firings / MAHA takeover - I was struck by how many doctors spoke out, but the lack of industry regulation / accountability

Makes my blood boil!

This book will make your blood boil — and that’s exactly why you need to read it. No More Tears is a powerful, well-researched takedown of Johnson & Johnson, exposing years of greed, cover-ups, and outright lies. I couldn’t stop turning the pages, but I also couldn’t stop shaking my head. It’s infuriating to see how a company that built its reputation on trust and safety could betray that so completely. Gardiner Harris does a phenomenal job digging deep. This is essential reading — but don’t expect to walk away calm. You’ll be angry, and rightfully so.

Greed over humanity

As a longtime RN, I knew generally about most of these issues but not the corruption at the FDA and not the outrageous litigation the company is willing to push just to get their way. There are two books about the family and both tell a story of greed, privilege and arrogance. Can you have immense wealth without blood on your hands?
