I just wish the pharmaceutical companies would pull out!

But I guess they’re just in the business of cashing in on other’s suffering.

Can we fine any US business that does not pull out?

Like I said in the thread you started: humanitarian goods, like drugs, need to stay in the country.

Similarly, banks that provide retail operations need to stay, so that people can access their bank accounts.

Try to consider this with a bit of nuance.[/quote]

There is a difference between medicine and other humanitarian goods made available in a country and a for profit Pharma company operating there. Anyways i assume they get their medicine for India at deeply discounted prices.[/quote]

Why would you assume that? Big Pharma is evil, but they do provide life saving drugs. If we lived in Russia and Biogen pulled out, my husband wouldn’t be able to get his MS medication. There’s no cheap equivalent we can buy from India.[/quote]

Not sure about your husband's medication, but many drugs are made in India and available in other countries for pennies on the dollar. It's not an equivalent of a drug, it's the same brand and maker., they simply aren't available in the US at those prices because Big Pharma uses US consumers as it's wallet.

It's a particularly specialized and/or very expensive drug produced in the West, most Russians simply don't have access to it now.

What point are you trying to make? I simply don’t understand why anyone would want to limit people’s access to life-saving drugs.[/quote]

I agree. The Russian people will already suffer enough.

I'm sorry but until they are all in the streets protesting and want Putin's head on a platter, They have not suffered enough.[/quote]
