409 — Re-Run: When Pharma Owns the Data–Dr. Sabine Hazan’s Congressional Call-Out

In this episode (recorded last year), Dr. Sabine Hazan, a gastroenterologist and microbiome researcher, joins the hosts of the BS Free MD Podcast to lay bare what she claims is a systemic problem: the undue influence of large pharmaceutical companies over medical research, regulatory bodies, publication of scientific data, and the shaping of public-health narratives.

She describes her own journey during the COVID-19 pandemic: attempting research on treatments (including microbiome related therapies, and alternative protocols) and encountering what she characterizes as institutional resistance—difficulty getting approvals, publishing studies, and even testifying to a congressional hearing. She argues that when corporate and regulatory interests become entangled, the integrity of science suffers, independent investigators are silenced or sidelined, and public trust erodes.
