Good Intention, is a talc of vaulting ambition.
greed, and hubris set against the tragic backdrop
of the world s number-one health crisis: AIDS.
Bruce Nussbaum takes us behind the scenes
to reveal how America s top scientists are at the
center of a triangle of power. He shows how the
National Institutes of Health allied with the drug
company Burroughs Wellcome. secretly helped by
the FI)A, to steamroll a thirty-year-old drug,
AZT, into becoming the only approved treatment
for AIDS.
At the heart of the story is a small group of
scientists that hold the lives of tens of thousands
in their hands. There s the puppet master, the bril-
liant i)r. David Barry, Burroughs Wellcome s chief
strategist; Dr. Tony Fauei, who grabbed control of
the government s AIDS research program only to
squander $1 billion without developing a single
new drug; and Michael Callen, who fought for his
life by battling the research labyrinth with a new
biomedical underground.
An old-boy network of powerful medical
researchers dominates in every disease feld, from
AIDS to Alzheimcr s, Nussbaum reports. They
control the major committees, they run the most
important trials. They are accountable to no one.
I)espitc the billions of taxpayers dollars that go
to them every year, there is no public oversight.
Medieal scientists have convinced society that
only they can police themselves.
