  • The Ethical Obligation for Research During Public Health Emergencies

    Open AccessMariana Barosa, Euzebiusz Jamrozik et al.ARTICLEMedicine Health Care and Philosophy2024

    In times of crises, public health leaders may claim that trials of public health interventions are unethical. One reason for this claim can be that equipoise —i.e. a situation of uncertainty and/or disagreement among experts about the evidence regarding an intervention—has been disturbed by a change of collective expert views. Some might claim that equipoise is disturbed if the majority of experts believe that emergency public health intervention…

  • University-age vaccine mandates

    Tracy Beth Høeg, Allison Krug et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2024

    For the first comparison, we weighed predicted hospitalisations prevented by one booster dose of BNT162b2 with vaccine-associated SAEs from the manufacturer's randomised trial (3/5055).3 We found that the rate of expected SAEs would outweigh the benefits of the booster against hospitalisation by at least 18-fold. Lam and Nichols suggest that this was an inappropriate comparison, as not all SAEs result in hospitalisation. However, the definition o…

  • Covid-19 vaccine boosters for young adults

    Open AccessKevin Bardosh, Allison Krug et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2024

    In 2022, students at North American universities with third-dose COVID-19 vaccine mandates risk disenrolment if unvaccinated. To assess the appropriateness of booster mandates in this age group, we combine empirical risk-benefit assessment and ethical analysis. To prevent one COVID-19 hospitalisation over a 6-month period, we estimate that 31 207–42 836 young adults aged 18–29 years must receive a third mRNA vaccine. Booster mandates in young adu…

  • How Often do Medical Specialties Question the Practices that They Perform? An Empirical, Cross-Sectional Analysis of the Published Literature

    Open AccessAlyson Haslam, Kerrington Powell et al.ARTICLEINQUIRY The Journal of Health…2022

    An aspect of overuse is who decides which practices are evaluated for overuse and which of the studies on overuse are published in the medical literature. We sought to examine the frequency with which studies in medical journals questioned an established practice. As a secondary objective, we sought to determine if there was variance among medical specialties. We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional review of the published literature in 14 …

  • Financial Conflicts of Interest at FDA Drug Advisory Committee Meetings

    Open AccessMichael Hayes, Michael J Hayes et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2018

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's drug advisory committees provide expert assessments of the safety and efficacy of new therapies considered for approval. A committee hears from a variety of speakers, from six groups, including voting members of the committee, FDA staff members, employees of the pharmaceutical company seeking approval of a therapy, patient and consumer representatives, expert speakers invited by the company, and public part…

  • Closed Financial Loops

    Open AccessKevin De Jesus‐Morales, Vinay PrasadARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2017

    Many physicians are involved in relationships that create tension between a physician's duty to work in her patients’ best interest at all times and her financial arrangement with a third party, most often a pharmaceutical manufacturer, whose primary goal is maximizing sales or profit. Despite the prevalence of this threat, in the United States and globally, the most common reaction to conflicts of interest in medicine is timid acceptance. There …

  • Reclaiming the morbidity and mortality conference

    Vinay PrasadARTICLEMedical Humanities2010

    In recent years, a number of commentators have voiced unease about the direction and format of the Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) conference. Drawing on historical, literary and philosophical perspectives, and detailing the recent shift towards incorporating systems-based approaches to healthcare safety into the M&M, this article explores the nature and purpose of the M&M conference. It is argued that improving future health outcomes is insufficie…
