  Well Pfizer spent $13B in 2021 https://www.statista.com/statistics/267810/expenditure-on-research-and-development-at-pfizer-since-2006/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/267810/expenditure-on-re... You didn’t really make a claim so I don’t know how to refute anything

    My claim is: Pharmaceutical revenue in europe alone can cover all r&d spending.

      That’s not wrong so much as it is misguided. If revenue is 1 and cogs is 1 then you don’t actually have any money to spare. The metric is not useful to the point you’re making.
