[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What people need is to get him to do some good by hyping and motivating him to address major issues. If he does few stupid things, those can be changed once he is gone. We do need a crazy shaker to fight food and pharma. [/quote]
Why do we need to fight pharma? The Sackler situation is not typical. Pharma does more good than harm. People repeat this but what do they really mean? I take life-saving meds and so do family members. Thank God for that. [/quote]

Exactly!!!

The free market encourages these companies to do the research and sell their medicines. If there is no financial incentive the r&d doesn't get done and the medicines don't get developed. The alternative is to nationalize the r&d and pharmaceutical industry, in which case the diseases that get attention (and the r&d and medicines developed for) would be subjected to political and bureaucratic influence. As a woman, I sure as hell wouldn't want Donald Trump's HHS deciding which diseases to research and develop cures/treatments for.

So if you're saying "fight Pharma" be clear on exactly what you're talking about and what you think the problem is, and your solutions.[/quote]
