#2 Reason to Hate People Who Hate Big Pharma

RE: #2 Reason to Hate People Who Hate Big Pharma
Big pharma being what they are is the reason I think we'll never see a cure for cancer. A very effective, and equally expensive, (unless you get your meds from Mexico) treatment that controls it? Sure. But, not a cure. There's far more profit to be had treating an ongoing condition than there is in curing a condition.

Though, on further reflection, perhaps Big Pharma isn't what I ought to be furious at - after all, they're a product of the system.

So fuck the system.

Yeah, except their "special interests" money is a big part of why that system is so broken.

Yes, and the fact that they can use that money to influence the system is a feature of.... the system.

So I say again:

Fuck the system.

Bullshit.

Cancer is one of the most nefarious diseases out there. It's more slippery than migraines. There isn't one kind and that's why there isn't a "cure" yet - you don't just make a cancer 'cure' and expect no one to have cancer anymore when there are as many kinds of cancer as organs in the body (at least).

Don't go touting that fuckery around me.

CD and Losty, where the hell do you to live. I see ziprasidone 40mg for $60 to $90 per 30 and risperidone 1mg for $10 per 30. This is without insurance in my city.

I hear this argument a lot.

I have worked for Big Pharma my entire career. Scientists get cancer, too, and have families who do. We aren't fucking monsters.

the word "cancer" encompasses a huge variety of diseases with many different and disparate causes. We will find the keys to cancers one by one.
