Join us for a discussion of the book No More Tears: the dark secrets of Johnson & Johnson by Gardiner Harris (2025). This is a 2-part discussion with the 2nd part on Monday, March 23. Registration is suggested. Multiple copies of this title are available for check out in the library.
One day in 2004, Gardiner Harris, a pharmaceutical reporter for The New York Times, was early for a flight and sat down at an airport bar. He struck up a conversation with the woman on the barstool next to him, who happened to be a drug sales rep for Johnson & Johnson. Her horrific story about unethical sales practices and the devastating impact they’d had on her family fundamentally changed the nature of how Harris would cover the company—and the entire pharmaceutical industry—for the Times. His subsequent investigations and ongoing research since that very first conversation led to this book—a blistering exposé of a trusted American institution and the largest healthcare conglomerate in the world.
