The Pfizer infantry brigade -- home of the Mighty Marketers. I like it. Nothing like giving back to the country that gave you so much!

Wait'll you see the look on their faces when they learn the other definition of a "pillbox."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

John Oliver's "Last Week Tonight" returned for its new season last night and went right to town on Big Pharma.

Includes the video of the main portion of the show.

Quote:Since direct-to-consumer drug advertising debuted in 1997, pharma’s credo has been When The Medication Is Ready, The Disease (and Patients) Will Appear. Who knew so many people suffered from restless legs? Now pharma is back to creating new diseases, patients, risks and “awareness campaigns.” Check out these eight new diseases they’ve invented.


Well, just be glad they haven't started to actually make you sick in order to make you fall into need for their cure.

Oh, wait......
