I also found this guy who says the same thing! That makes it double true?

[–] Liuone@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Nope two truths is a negative we need one more guy.

I worked at Pfizer for 17 years.

We didn't discover drugs - we discovered markets.

If a drug cured asthma in 3 days - we'd kill it.

Chronic disease.

is where the money is.

Cures are bad for business.

do you want less people listening to doctors , and turning anti vaxx? Because that's how you do it.

Pharmaceutical companies are not great, but they are still making necessary medicine.

My dad worked at Nintendo for a billion years. He said Nintendo is the one that has all of Xbox’ good games.

John Pfizer duh

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 10 points 21 hours ago

So if this person no longer works for Pfizer, spill the beans! Tell us about all of the cures that it killed.

These kinds of takes have legs because the capitalist parasite class really does value profit a lot more than your life or mine. When a drug company finds a cure for blindness and decides to charge almost a million dollars for it, you can't really argue that they have your best interest in mind, or even a shred of human decency. That said, the take posted is not how it really works. If they discovered a drug that cured asthma in 3 days they'd patent it and sell it for a million dollars. They've already done it for other ailments. No one can argue they wouldn't.

(and btw, just disable JS to kill the paywall on that link)
