About Bad Pharma
Onward Pharmaceutical Labs (OPL), one of the world’s largest pharma companies, is completing the development of a new vaccine, RSVIX, to protect children from the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). OPL expects RSVIX to be their next blockbuster and hopes to capture a big chunk of the 7 Billion dollar U.S. market. The final clinical study before licensure is a head-to-head comparison with RESPIRWELL, the currently licensed vaccine produced by OPL’s rival, Beamer Labs.
Siddhartha Kumar, the OPL lead medical monitor assigned to the trial, discovers that RSVIX is not performing as planned, and notifies his superiors, recommending they stop the trial and offer a dose of RESPIRWELL to all the study participants to assure their protection. the company refuses to inoculate the trial population with the licensed vaccine, Sid questions the ethics behind this decision while continuing to advocate for the safety of the children. Sid’s insistence leads to his dismissal. He now is forced to advocate for his “patients” from the outside looking in with the help of some dear colleagues still working for the company.
Inspired by a true story, Bad Pharma delves into the ethical issues surrounding drug development, which often puts science and business at odds. Sometimes, the risk is just not worth the reward.

About Release It
This book will help you release any hurt, shame, guilt, resentment, and unforgiveness from past sexual sins. I expose the spirit of lust through GOD point of view. GOD sent HIS SON Jesus to die for our sins while we were still in sexual sin. GOD does not intend for HIS children to be bound by the spirit of lust. I believe this book will deliver many people from sexual sin. We can only receive deliverance and healing if we first admit we are struggling with sexual sin. Some people may not be battling with sexual sin but are being held captive by their past sexual experiences. GOD desires to remove any shame and guilt you are carrying. Freedom to live for GOD is available for everyone but unfortunately, everyone will not receive it. DO YOU RECEIVE IT?
