Ask yourself “what good had jailing Charles Manson at the first lawsuit done for society?” then remember that J&J is responsible for thousands more death than Manson, and likely more than all psycho killers in the history of the US combined…

Rogue corporations are killing people at a scaled rivalled only by dictators…

Comparing a pharmaceutical company to Charles Manson or Pol Pot is… frankly insane.
At least THIRTY NINE THOUSAND people suffered from a cancer that would have been avoided if the execs, who knew about the dangerousness of their product, stopped selling their contaminated crap. We're talking about TENS OF THOUSANDS of shattered lives, children who ended up growing without a mother, and women not able to bear children because the cancer destroyed their body.

This is what's “insane”.

The people who knowingly made this happen are literal monsters, there's just no other words.
