One example would be the fact that a drug company does not have to publish or disclose any information on failed drug trials.
Lilly can test prozac and have it fail 9 times out of 10. It is allowed to present the marginal results of a trail or two to get the drug approved.
Some people may not lable that as a conspiracy, but it does show that a company can call a drug "effective" when a analysis of all the information migh lead to no such picture.
Another example might be the fact that Glaxo was fined for supressing information about the likelyhood of paxil to induce suicidiality in children. I suppose they figure nobody wants to know that, so they keep it a secret, and now it has come to the surface.
