Big Pharma

After Bush left his CIA director post in 1977 and before becoming vice president in 1980, he was on Big Pharma corporation Eli Lilly’s board of directors. As vice president, Bush failed to disclose his Lilly stock and lobbied hard on behalf of Big Pharma, especially Eli Lilly. For example, Bush sought special tax breaks from the IRS for Lilly and other pharmaceutical corporations that were manufacturing in [Puerto Rico]]. [1][2][3] It was also under the Bush administration that Prozac was approved, giving the start to decades of highly damaging prescriptions of SSRI psychiatric drugs.[4]

Mitch Daniels, then a vice president at Eli Lilly, in 1991 co-chaired a fundraiser that collected $600,000 for the Bush-Quayle campaign. In 2001, Daniels became son George W. Bush’s Director of Management and Budget.[2]

William Barr“As I sat down, Spence seated himself on the chocolate sofa next to a man in his late fifties, who had balding black hair and brown, round-framed glasses. He wore a blue, pinstripe suit, white shirt and a red tie. A miniature U.S. flag was pinned on his lapel. Spence introduced the man to me by name and also disclosed his title. He was in the administration of George H.W. Bush. I feel that the Bush administration had decided to pull out a big gun to eradicate any traces of Gregg's affinity for gay escorts, because Gregg had been so instrumental in Iran Contra and because he was en route to becoming the United States Ambassador to South Korea.
Spence had dropped the name name of the cabinet member months earlier, when he revealed that he routinely provided him with adolescent boys.”		William Barr
