Great that your country stamped this out, but I am afraid you are the minority. Pharmaceutical industry is the most corrupt after politics and army and almost no doctor is immune to bad influence. Straight up denial is actually harmful in getting the truth out there and fixing the problem.

You aren’t saying anything substantial here. The world renowned scientists coming up with the discoveries that allow us to live long lives should not be bucketed with the MBA goons trying to mark up insulin shots and corner the market with medical patents they acquired.

What industry do you work in where those at the top of the companies aren’t maximizing their ROI and profit seeking? That COVID shot in your arm ID from the scientists that worked feverishly to invent it, and should be celebrated like the ones that solves medical mysteries across all different disease classes. R&D is not free period.

Why not have the government subsidize medical costs, why punish the inventor who have huge R&D overhead? The corruption you talk about starts and ends with the government.
