In a new documentary titled ‘SICK: Unmasking Big Medicine,’ Tucker Carlson and his news outlet the Daily Caller examine the devastating effects Big Pharma has had on the health of Americans via antidepressants, opioids and COVID.

(LifeSiteNews) — A new documentary has emerged which investigates the collapse of public trust in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry.
With Americans described as the “most prescribed, most diagnosed” people in history, the film titled SICK: Unmasking Big Medicine, produced by Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller, argues that not only is American “Big Medicine” a hostage to the drug industry, it is effectively manufacturing physical and mental illnesses for which it supplies its toxic “cures.”
The documentary covers the epidemic over-prescription of opioids and antidepressants, while also showing how the COVID regime, which has devastated public health and social cohesion, was crafted to restore public trust in the discredited business of American healthcare.
It also argues that lockdowns were used to promote “gender ideology” to a captive audience of Zoom-schooled children, compounding the damage done by its campaign of terror and the elimination of social life with the closing of schools and public spaces.
Bipartisan agreement?
The documentary opens with remarks from Donald Trump, who said, “For generations the American people have been abused by Big Pharma, and their army of lawyers and bought-and-paid for politicians.”
It is a claim which is amplified in the recorded remarks of President Joe Biden, “Big Pharma is charging Americans more than three times what they charge other countries – simply because they could.”
Between these two indictments of the so-called health industry, a news segment is shown, which charges that in America, “We have the most medicated, the most disabled, the most diagnosed population in the history of the world.”
The film’s opening sequence concludes with a credible charge, saying that the practice of healthcare dominated by the drug companies is itself manufacturing sickness on a national scale.
“It is the medicalization of ordinary life. We are medicating problems that we create.”
A crisis in confidence
The video cites plummeting public confidence in the U.S. health system, which fell by ten percent from 44 to 34 percent between 2021 and 2023. The covid regime has compounded public mistrust in medicine and in “the science” generally, as the documentary argues, citing plummeting public confidence in the US health system – which fell ten percent from 44 to 34 percent between 2021 and 2023.
A prescribed pandemic
The scale of the prescription of antidepressants such as Zoloft is enormous. The film moves to recount the impact of the prescription pandemic of antidepressants on the lives of individuals.
Blake Guichet, a former student, as well as one time bank manager Tyler Todt, relate how their lives were changed by this medication. Doctors ignored their wider issues, such as diet and personal problems, moving immediately to prescription.
It is a route which can and does end in tragedy.
Suicide by prescription
A segment from Tucker Carlson shows the shocking correlation with a leap in the rate of suicides in the U.S. alongside the exponential rise in the prescription of antidepressants.
Suicide is, according to Carlson, “maybe the most reliable indicator of all of depression.” Yet, as he reports, the antidepressants themselves appear to be intensifying the sickness they were provided to cure.
“Over the same period in which SSRI prescriptions have risen 3,000 percent, the suicide rate has jumped by 35 percent,” he related.
SSRIs – Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors – were a new kind of antidepressant introduced to replace tricyclic antidepressants in the late 1980s. Their mechanism is to “flood” the brain with serotonin, a purported “feel-good” element of brain chemistry. Yet the side effects, whilst well known, were unknown to those who were recommended them by their doctors.
The film moves to one story of tragedy among so many. In a heartbreaking sequence, Kim Witczak recounts how her husband Woody took his own life after she had seen him undergo profoundly disturbing personality changes as a result of his prescription for Zoloft, a common antidepressant.
“On August 6th, 2003 my life changed for ever,” she said. “I got a call from my dad saying that my husband of ten years was found hanging from the rafters of our garage, dead at age 37.”
That same night, the probable cause was identified.
“That night the coroner asked me if Woody was on any medication,” she recounted. “And the only medication he was on was Zoloft.”
She said the coroner told her that the medication might explain her husband’s death.
“I knew Woody. He loved life. There was no way this guy would take his own life,” she lamented
She describes going to a suicide support group, finding that the explanations offered were that the suicides of people on SSRIs were “dismissed,” often by the rebuttal that “they were depressed” after all.
She discovered that the support groups also “got money from the pharmaceutical industry.” Even the therapeutic “cure” is part of this industry of manufactured disease.

It makes sense that those truly interested in healing others have been displaced by those solely interested in making money, which points to corporations like Big Pharma, and especially Big Pharmas who are exempt from liability.
That exemption encourages them to try anything, not only to providing “medications” which haven’t been proven but rather further sicken people, but also to provide the unproven vaccinations which advance Globalism’s goals of global depopulation. Those vaccinations have killed or maimed many thousands of people.
They are further being helped by government organizations like the FDA, the CDC, and others who did nothing to interfere with those goals, but rather helped them, as we saw with Cov-19. Even today those organizations will not admit to doing that but instead still encourage harmful medical practices like mRNA shots.
