Those were study results, do you think they were falsified?

Pfizer and big-pharma has a long history of fudging the truth and bribery.

Why should it be different now ? Same people.

It's a baby and the bathwater situation. Some pharma incentives are perverse, and some people involved in the past and present were behind it. It's worth being cautious about taking things at face value, but it's always worth being skeptical.

Assuming everyone in the company has the same character as whichever employees you anchor on and assuming evidence is falsified is also suboptimal.
