Pharma lying

[carmanmemoranda]

This is where I need to stop myself going down the conspiracy theory route re do they really want to find cures for the big hitters.

Like any business they are looking to make money.

It's inevitable that business practices will happen.

But look at an overall picture and not any 1 snapshot

If we didn't have Pharma companies we wouldn't have statins, blood pressure medications, HIV treatments, cancer drugs etc etc. and all the other medications that have helped billions of people.

The bigger picture

Its always going to morally tricky when you invent something that can save someone's life, but they don't have the money to pay for it. It is why a lot of pharma companies would rather find the next viagra than cure MND.

You only have to look at the not-for profit deal AZ did on the covid vaccine and the long term damage it has done to their brand, due to global politics mainly

You're a jab junkie who will believe anything they are told in order to get your next fix!

And let's not forget, the 'virus' jabs were experimental...

Poor ellal...

Private health firms have donated more than £800,000 to the Conservative Party over the past ten years, from more than 35 private health and social care businesses. The true figure could be even higher because donors do not have to declare their field of work, meaning some may have flown under the radar.

The Conservative Friends of the NHS is a group of Tory-voting doctors and health professionals who claim to support the NHS. The group’s president is health minister Maria Caufield and it has hosted stalls at the Conservative Party’s annual conference.

Another Conservative Party donor is Genix Healthcare Ltd, which is part of a group of private dental clinics that makes the “majority” of its £6.6m income from NHS contracts. Genix Healthcare has bankrolled the Tories with donations worth more than £158,000 since 2015, including cash and sponsorships. This includes a £20,000 donation to Jeremy Hunt in 2019, the year after he resigned as health secretary.

The Conservatives also accepted £28,000 worth of donations from Advinia Health Care Limited, which operates a network of 36 care homes across the UK.

Sounds like a conspiracy. Thought we weren't allowed to have them on here.

Do you not understand what a conspiracy is? Generally it's a lack of facts.

We could of course alternatively have public owned not for profit organisations doing the same thing for much less cost to national health services

More like collusion between private health care companies and a political party enabling their gravy train to keep on rollin'...

Except we don't and if we did, they wouldn't be as advanced as the Pharma companies we have.

We're not exactly flooded with new and effective drugs from China and Russia, are we......
