That simply isnt true and is a political fiction.

Pharma companies spend 10x what universities and the NIH do.

The only grain of truth in it is if you compare a tiny subset of what pharma companies do, and look only are extremely early drug exploration, and ignore all of the subsequent development like drug screening, testing, formulation, and clinical trials.
