Pharmaceutical companies making billions of dollars’ profit on drugs whose development was subsidized by the US taxpayer - yet is not affordable to millions of people who need it - is not righteous profit. It is institutionalized theft.

any pharmaceutical company that gets fined over a billion dollars shouldn't exist. are you willing to go that far left and take the next step to calling for Pfizer to be closed up and the others to be warned not to do what they did. are you willing to do that

What about when said drugs are less safe and effective than promised by drug makers and public health officials? Talk about that fraud.

Need to elect a LOT more Democrats to fix any of that. Democrats who have a record of getting things done. How many doors did you knock on last election cycle?

That's not to mention the money contributed by individuals to organizations working on cures for various diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. That money goes toward finding treatments, but the contributors who need the treatments pay a fortune for the drugs.

As the value of the petrodollar continues to shrink these giant corporations need to hoard even more to maintain their fortunes and power.

"Why should the American people continue to pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for the same medications, manufactured by the same companies, in the same factories — that are all available in Canada, in Europe, in Australia and in Japan for a fraction of the price?"

Why are you still not seeing the big picture??? This virus is Gain of Function (directed evolution). They hid the therapeutics to get the EUA on experimental jab. Polio vaccine was the same playbook, propaganda and poison. Profit on suffering
