Letter of support, addressed to the Danish Minister of Health, to avoid dismissal of Peter Gøtzsche from the Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen.
Dear Minister of Health of Denmark Ellen Trane Nørby:
We are writing to express our concern over the possible dismissal of Peter Gøtzsche from his job at the Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen. We feel that Dr. Peter Gøtzsche´s work at the Nordic Cochrane Centre has been an important service to patients, taxpayers and the scientific community in Europe and globally. For many years the prestigious activity and publications of Dr. Gøtzsche have played a pivotal role in favour of the transparency of clinical data, the priority of public health needs and the defence of rigorous medical research carried out independently of conflicts of interest. The recent crisis within the Cochrane Collaboration that involved Dr. Gøtzsche and many other prominent long-time members of Cochrane should be seen in this light.
We ask you to reconsider this possible dismissal due to the great benefits taxpayers, patients and health-care professionals reap from his work aimed at studying the efficacy and safety of medical treatments. We also fear that the dismissal of Dr. Gøtzsche from the Rigshospitalet could harm the international reputation of Danish medical research and could seriously weaken Danmark´s traditional support for open scientific debate.
We hope this issue can be resolved amicably and fairly for the sake of public health, robust scientific debate and the wise spending of public money.
Thank you very much,
You can adhere in this link

Your country need people like Peter Cotzsche.I send the link to my relatives in Cyprus. I am very grateful to Peters Cotzche for enlightening me and people around the world. He was a great help to people who have fallen. I am very sad he was dismissed from his positions. I salute his humanity and courage. The hope of humanity lies in the prevention of degenerative and mental disease, not in the care of their symptoms. We all deserve a life worth living. We need people like Peter Coetzee David Healy Terry Lynch Peter Breggin Joanna Moncrieff empowering people. In Ireland, we had a minister James Reilly talking to Marien Finugan on a radio show 19 of November that is ok to take Prozac SSRI denial antidepressant addiction medical ignorance.Whether you call it withdrawal or just discontinuation the bottom line, says David Healy is dependence. Drug companies had learned to maximise sales promote the disease, not the drug By press Association published 5 July 2016. Antidepressants prescriptions double to 61 million in 10 years between 2005 and 2015 the number of drugs prescribed and dispenses in England rose from 29,4 million to 61 million. Is not very scientific the use of checklist. Harold Shipman, he killed over 200 people with opioids Shipman case illustrates that situations, where trust is important, can provide the conditions for extraordinary abuse. Surely it would make sense to have a conversation about these vital areas now.
