Can you elaborate on the dangerous/dark nature of this? Big Pharma does a lot of things wrong, but at the same time private enterprise (big pharma in this case) can be a very effective vehicle for making medical breakthroughs scale to become available to patients.
- PatriciaR 8y agoAbsolutely. Speaking with only the knowledge I’ve gained from working at a department that deals with blood banking for a well known university I’d say a lot of outcomes have to do with agendas. No system is perfect and you’re right- there has been a lot of good. My fear is that more “credible” research will be done to “prove” that patients need more medication. I’m not saying don’t take meds if you need them but in many cases they are not needed and can actually be really harmful. All I’m saying is that it can improve life for some it can also reduce quality of life for others.
