Sorry, but how exactly do you know how the finances work out for pharmaceutical development, manufacturing, and distribution around the world? You seem to know

  1. If you're defending large corporations, always assume that they're adversarial. They're machines made to defend themselves/attack opponents. When posting in their favor, be careful not to become a shill for them, accidentally. As a general rule, defending the "big guy" on their behalf is generally a losing strategy. They can defend themselves already, no need to stand up for them. 2. I have family working in the medical and pharma fields. 3. I doesn't even matter what and who I know, this tells you everything you need to know: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/PFE/pfizer/gross-profit https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/PFE/pfizer/gross-p... The profit graphs for most of the Big Pharmas look similar. They're hugely profitable. For sure they could lose a chunk of that and do fine. It's just greed. A bit of greed shows ambition. A lot of greed corrodes everything. It's just pathological at some point (money is not points on a mobile game leaderboard!).

    Knowing the overall profit of the business doesn’t tell you exactly where the profits are coming from or how margins differ among different product lines and markets. I think we should refrain from claiming specific knowledge of a business’s finances and making confident conclusions unless we have more granular data or are actually employed by the businesses in question.
