Seems like most people here think hospitals and health care companies act purely out of the benevolence of their hearts and not for profit, judging by the down-votes on your comment ;)

Some people here really ought to replace Pfizer with Google or Facebook and re-read their sentences.

According to some comments here, we have a purely free market and all actors are benevolent, there are no profit incentives "for the worse" (at all, that is, let me quote: "conspiratorial thinking" to think that people are motivated by profits) and so forth, but only as so far as we are talking about COVID-19.

I typically read the exact opposites when there are discussions about Facebook, Google, or the market in general.
