I think that answers it well enough. Big pharma buys a lot of leads from small pharma, but I think small pharma could fill the pipeline pretty well without ruthlessly exploiting it quite as much.
I wasn’t sure if you were a natural remedy type nut. I now take your statement to be hyperbole since a lot of people die from car accidents. Only some of those can be blamed on big pharma making a treatment too expensive or getting the other driver addicted.
Funny story, was working at an event for Johnson & Johnson. Most of the people working there were super nice and normal. Was kinda surreal to think that I was chatting with some of the people playing medical gods
Big Pharma is the only reason people die from…anything.
These people play God.

What a stupid fucking reply.
People die of old age, car accidents, etc. Those are hardly big pharma’s fault.
Damn you big pharma! Damn you to hell for pay-walling me from my anti fatal car accident pills you sons of bitches!!!
Corporate medicine owns lives as a whole. Big pharma is only one brick in the paywall to life and the pursuit of happiness.
There is no road to happiness. Only the acceptance of your place. Corporations see to that.
There are an average of 488 deaths per day from excessive alcohol use in the US alone. Big Pharma can’t grow a new liver for you.

Getting closer.
They lobby for public health and investment spending that will guarantee their own income rather than actually curing health conditions.
Why invest in curing a health condition when you can sell symptom management for a person’s entire lifetime instead?
Are you saying that small pharma is responsible for many of the life-saving medicines we use?
That’s an odd question without an easy answer. And the question is vague enough that it probably doesn’t warrant a serious answer.
“Small pharma” plays many roles. One of the most basic is working with “big pharma,” whether in research or manufacturing commercial products.
But I’m going on 30 years on the scientific side of this business, so I’m trying to avoid going into a whole spiel on the topic.

I mean, its a big company. Maybe you were chatting with the shampoo team, which I assume is uncontroversial lol
No, the people there were actively developing new drugs and doing research by the sound of it.
They could make it not burn my eyes, but then it wouldn’t be as fun for them.
