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.
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."
In his opinion, the medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry. This doesn't make it true
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.
Alright I pinky promise that this is the last post,
I admit my example was a bit bad, I've provided a more accurate example below:
By your logic, my statement "The user @baah on steemit is autistic," is considered to be fact.
In reality, it is only a declarative statement. It's even a bit more of a simplistic statement because it can be easily proven or disproven by you getting evaluated for autism. All it means is that I believe you are autistic.
It's the equivalent of a thesis statement of a paper. I can point to evidence to support my claim, and someone can point to evidence to disprove my claim.
His claim is debatable, and would never be considered fact by anyone in a serious setting. But seriously, I think you should look into getting tested.

His claim? His opinion. That's how your evasive, you dismissed it as opinion when it could be very well fact.
Speaking of evasive
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.
That definition doesn't conflict with the statement at all. You still have to demonstrate how and why it's an opinion or your claim is bullshit. You so far have failed to deliver anything close to indisputable, your whole "opinion" argument falls apart by cursory examination, there's is nothing in those statements that indicated opinion.
This might help you

Alright, so this is the last one, seriously now.
It's not a fact.

Seriously what is your level of education?

The issue here is that the claim isn't indisputable by your own account.
Again for something to be a fact, it has to be something indisputably the case. This is the definition of what a fact is.
That definition doesn't conflict with the statement at all. You still have to demonstrate how and why it's an opinion or your claim is bullshit.
