Anybody notice the paid Pharma ads?

I don't mean for specific drugs. I mean the political ones complaining about Congress going to ruin treatment options because they will pick and choose drugs we can have after the new legislation is implemented.

Poppycock. Most of the drugs on the market have already been developed with the help of the government and they have been reaping the profits. Also the ones in the pipeline are developed by small startups with grants from the government. The drug looks good and Big Pharma swoops in and buys it up.

They are a bit afraid they will still make billions, but they will have to negotiate.

It seemed like a threat.

Like, we won’t be able to make any new medicines, if Biden makes us limit our profits.
