About

Paper Trail Health — Health Propaganda, Exposed — is written by Henry Rearden (a pen name).

We cover (A) things people were told for years were good or safe that documents later showed were harmful or misrepresented; (B) effective or cheap treatments sidelined in favor of more profitable, not-more-effective ones; and documented propaganda by industry or government.

What counts as evidence of what happened: court records, litigation discovery documents, settlements, verdicts, and leaked or released internal documents and legal decisions in private litigation, used only as evidence of conduct.

What we use for analysis: peer-reviewed papers and independent journalism, with funding stated. We do not use government agencies, government documents, or government-funded or public-university research as sources, data or metrics.

Every entry states its evidence level, funding, what it does not show, and documented counterpoints. Entries are drafted with help from an AI assistant and reviewed before publication.
