Where would our society be without “Big Pharma”? Without drugs to combat a number of diseases our life expectancy would be a lot less than it is right now? Have high blood pressure that is now under control? Thank Big Pharma. Every had a serious infection that was eradicated? Thank Big Pharma. Ever had a bad headache and took an analgesic that relieved it? Thank Big Pharma. Every had a bad case of diarrhea and took some thing to stop it? Thank “Big Pharma” I could on all night long with this. Thanks to “Big Pharma”, diseases like smallpox, yellow fever, malaria, diphtheria, polio myelitis, measles, rubella, babesiosis and several others I cannot recall at this moment are now eradicated in this country.
I refuse to pay attention in the week sucks.
You can be treated like cattle and be happy, but that’s not for me. Enjoy your slavery. Your attitude is disgusting and beneath contempt.
You’re describing pharma.
BigPharma is the entity that puts PROFIT over honest and truly safe health and well being.
You trust the medical industry so much it is astonishing. When the Nazis rose to power, some of their biggest backers were in the medical profession. Without much prompting, doctors went on a murder spree and killed hundreds of thousands of children they were considered life and worthy of life due to their disabilities. Shame on you. you’re disgusting

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So their accomplishments shield them from any scrutiny in the future?
You failed to mention all the mistakes and fraud they have been sued for. We can start with oxycontin and work back
Just like Unions, they had their time (30s-60s)
Now Pharma is not about a cure, it’s about lifetime prescriptions and treatments.
Have an addiction to opioids? Thank Big Pharma. Kid has autism? Thank Big Pharma. Have Myocarditis and/or Turbo Cancer? Thank Big Pharma!
So - Pfizer was charged, found guilty and paid the largest criminal fine in history for fraud regarding their product just a few years ago. Not sure when some FReepers lost the ability to critically think, but lack of trust in Big Pharma is not irrational.

How about a lot better off? Many BP and other meds have safe natural alternatives that do not have dangerous side effects. But never mind those-first tell us about all the good things Oxycontin has done for people...
You go ahead and take all the drugs and vaxxes you want if you believe they are safe-I’m saying no thanks...
