@Moon @Jain @mewmew pfizers most profitable vaccine ever was purchased from a government holding company.

many other treatments are similarly the result of university R&D that is picked up and only marketed by the pharma firm. research is actually one of the lesser expenses (said widescale bribery scandal was classified as 'marketing' and is more like 50% of their annual expense)

i think the market has proven capitalism cannot produce medicine.
