- dekhn 7y agoI don't consider interviews with prosecutors about allegations to be factual sources of criticism. Interestingly, nearly all drug companies have compassionate use programs that get high cost drugs to poor people. Funny how the articles rarely mention these programs! Note: there certainly are unethical players in this field, but it's still painful when you're an ethical player in this field, to hear people throw accusations that don't have all the internal context. Again, there are massive systemic barriers to making higher quality drugs that are effective- both against disease, and in terms of cost. The government could go a long way to changing laws to achieve this.
