Here is the podcast, and the 36-minute interview doesn't start until the 1:08 mark.
18:45. Well, like you say, the stuff that sounded unbelievable to me but as I started to understand the science behind it these are things that opened my eyes. One of them I would say is Viagra causing blindness. I broke that story internationally some years ago at CBS when other journalists didn't care. It was nothing more than a laugh to them when a small article came up on the wire services, and I talked about how the people who uncovered these side effects that the government should [have been] covering, the drug company should be telling us about, like blindness with the erectile dysfunction drugs, they're not coming up with it because they're not looking for it for whatever reason. The doctors who are prescribing it aren't asking. So this tells how this was discovered by me and also by independent doctors who were treating as it happens; not the urologists who should have been looking for this, but an eye doctor noticed these patterns. So I thought that was fascinating. I talked about the tricks that FDA scientists say the drug companies use to hide Adverse Events in their studies that they submit to being approved so that these things won't show up until it's too late
