Alright, so this is the last one, seriously now.
It's not a fact.
It's a declarative statement. In his opinion, the medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry. This doesn't make it true
By your logic, you'd consider it fact if someone was to say "Lucy bought a candybar at the store today," when in reality Lucy may not have even left the house.
He's arguing his position, it's his belief, it's his opinion. Other people will say "No the medical profession isn't being bought by the pharmaceutical industry."
Seriously what is your level of education?
