Yep.
The USA has to be the most egregious example of this, other countries aren't immune.
- pfranz 9y agoThat's clearly not the case in all parts of the world. China and India often ignore patents and trade secrets to produce generic drugs for domestic use. I often hear about how useful donating used prescription glasses are to people in need in other countries like Africa and China. I imagine this would be a similar program that would be aimed at prevention. I would think any influence of big pharma would affect prescription glasses distribution programs in the same way.
