To a large extent, "follow the money" is doable (e.g. Pharma profits, campaign contributions, etc.) Other biases are harder to determine but can be inferred (e.g. government regulator conflicts of interest -- regulatory capture, Pfizer stock in their stock accounts, etc.). Greed is clearly a factor but cannot explain all. Thus power-lust for understandable political ends, or perhaps even deeper, evil agendas.
