Look, I get your point on disease state and I don't think companies are doing it for charity. But I don't think it's helpful to drop revenue figures absent margins. And it would be interest to see comparative global profits broken down along lines like Prevnar/Gardasil vs dtap/mmr. Nothing against the former, but when I consider deaths from preventable diseases like the latter it's kind of staggering the value we get for the money. $32B is the market cap of twitter.
