@JaneyMac1121 Sorry. I understood that Goldacre was a colleague of Simon Wessely (a man not exactly famous for his anti-establishment stance, to say the least). Perhaps you would do me the favour of googling that and letting me know if I've got it wrong

Thomas Moore, a senior fellow in health policy at the George Washington University Medical Center, estimates that prescription drugs -- those reviewed and approved by the FDA -- contribute to 100,000 U.S. deaths each year. Figures don't seem to be available for the UK, but are possibly comparable. Shame Goldacre doesn't want to address this issue. This must be what he considers "Good" science.
