For nearly 20 years, Kim Witczak has been an advocate for pharmaceutical drug safety and reform, most recently pushing for COVID-19 vaccine transparency and accountability. Witczak was propelled into this work by the suicide of her husband of 10 years, which was alleged to have been caused by the anti-depressant Zoloft, prescribed for his insomnia.
Witczak said that when her husband died, she thought their case was an isolated incident but quickly learned there are broad deficiencies in the U.S. drug safety system and corruption in the medical establishment.
