I looked up a few articles on the subject, and it really doesn’t seem like ghostwriting is plagiarism (though it depends on the definition and who you ask!), but it certainly can violate ethical codes or journal guidelines:
Whether or not you use the word plagiarism, it’s an ethical violation where people are paid money to do something in secret to further the interest of pharma companies.
What’s what conspiring in private to mislead the public is about. The ghostwriting case is one that’s well-documented. It’s evidence that a lot of conspiracy exists in the field.
I’ve made several arguments that were ignored, because you seem to be in favour of raising new points as opposed to addressing arguments.
Your argument is basically “if they have power to do X, why don’t they also have power to do Y”. The only way to address that is to get into the details of how the power works. That means making new points.
