Insel gets cold feet...

Trying to “back-pedal” on his support to Dr. Nemeroff, Dr. Insel, Head of The National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, has gone to extremes but without considering carefully the facts. A 2010 Research America poll shows that 88% of respondents favor physicians’ collaboration with industry! Yet he goes on to say that “… public’s disapproval of the physician-industry relationship is precisely why disclosure laws are so important.” (cited from Nature Biotechnology 28: 661, 2010) 

  What is the evidence for such disapproval?
