“The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, not only in terms of the practice of medicine, but also in terms of teaching and research. The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry. I think it’s disgraceful.”
Point out what is of opinion in essence and I'll point out what is fact:
The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry
[Medical profession],not only in terms of the practice of medicine, but also in terms of teaching and research.
The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry.

That still doesn't demonstrate that the numerous statements made were of facts:
The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, that's a statement of facts, not opinion. Opinion doesn't state lucy buys a candybar. Opinion states, lucy buys a candybar because ...
Opinion doesn't state facts, or it is no longer opinion. It's a fact.

In your opinion he's speaking about his opinion. In reality he stated that the medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, and to you, in your opinion that automatically makes it a statement of opinion.
You can make a false statement of facts, but that doesn't make it opinion, opinion is a motive or reason, not an observation, something that cannot be demonstrated, where as saying that so and so bought this can be, so automatically ruling it out as opinion is no sense, or lie, considering the credentials
Yeah, it makes sense, he is just debating whether or not the people that pay for the studies and give the grants to the universities are actually controlling what the scientists study or not. And right there he just unequivocally closed a point, which you say is an opinion in the real context. We will just have to take your word for it again, that it's not a statement of fact when you say I did this" it's an opinion.

His claim? His opinion. That's how your evasive, you dismissed it as opinion when it could be very well fact.
All personal questions you can point at yourself and maybe in some kind of respectful tone, they will be met with a response, instead of ignoring the ad hominem and strawmen I could simply point them out.
