Brian Deer is a British investigative journalist best known for his work for the Sunday Times<\/a> investigating the drug trade<\/a>, health, and social issues. The Doctor Who Fooled the World<\/a>, Deer’s investigative nonfiction book, will be released by Johns Hopkins University<\/a> Press in September 2020. After graduating from the University of Warwick<\/a> with a degree in philosophy, he worked as an editor and publicity officer for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament<\/a> and was a member of The Leveller magazine<\/a> collective. Later he worked for The Times<\/a>, then The Sunday Times<\/a>, first as business editor, then as a reporter and service editor. Deer was the UK’s first social affairs reporter in the 1980s, working for then-Sunday Times editor Andrew Neil, and reported from the United States between 1990 and 1992.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1986, one of Deer’s early investigations revealed studies on the safety of the contraceptive pill<\/a> conducted by British scientist Michael Briggs<\/a> at Deakin University<\/a> in Australia. According to Deer’s investigations, many Briggs studies have been flawed in providing a favorable profile for the cardiovascular<\/a> safety of drugs. Schering AG<\/a>, a German pharmaceutical business, contributed significantly to the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1994, his investigation into the Wellcome Trust<\/a> resulted in the discontinuation of the antibiotic Septrin<\/a> (also known as Bactrim) in the United Kingdom, as well as the sale of the Wellcome Trust’s pharma firm subsidiary. The discontinuation of the painkiller Vioxx<\/a> in 2005 was followed by an investigation into who was responsible for introducing the drug. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Brian Deer at Instagram<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Brian Deer at Facebook<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Brian Deer at Twitter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\nWorks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
