“There’s a systemic problem with our whole drug safety system,” Kim Witczak says. “I like to call it a spider web. That’s the premise I start from. It’s a big business full of conflicts of interest.”

In a recent episode of “American Thought Leaders,” host Jan Jekielek spoke with Witczak, whose beloved husband died from suicide after being prescribed an off-label anti-depressant for insomnia. For the 20 years since then, Witczak has been an advocate for pharmaceutical drug safety and reform, most recently taking up the fight for transparency and accountability surrounding COVID-19 vaccines.

Jan Jekielek is a senior editor with The Epoch Times, host of the show “American Thought Leaders.” Jan’s career has spanned academia, international human rights work, and now for almost two decades, media. He has interviewed nearly a thousand thought leaders on camera, and specializes in long-form discussions challenging the grand narratives of our time.
