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]
