That is why pharma spends more on marketing than they do on R & D. Also, until a few decades ago it was illegal for bottom feeding lawyers to get on tv and beg you to let them sue someone. That was back when this country still had a little common sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2020 pharma/healthcare spent $306,000,000 on lobbying. Think about that. Now you know why the drug Truvada is $1700 a month in the US when it is $8 a month (generic) in Australia. That is the difference between a govt that works for its people...and a govt that is nothing more than the board of directors for USA, Inc. https://www.statista.com/statistics/257364/top-lobbying-industries-in-the-us/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearEmaGrowlin Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Sadly, this is how liberals in America act. If you’re in agreement with them good. If you’re not one of them or in lockstep they will cheer your death. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also wine and dine the doctors to encourage them to prescribe their medications as well. I know that first hand. They would rent out an entire room at La Villeta when it was open in Tyler and they didn't hold back on anything. Every employee wanted to work those nights, because the tabs were huge and they tipped accordingly. Then they actually pay them to prescribe those medications. https://gizmodo.com/big-pharma-money-really-does-influence-what-doctors-pre-1840563909 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Well I'm seeing more and more people being infected with the Delta variant and hospitalization is way up again. What's demented Joe doing about it other than asking people to become vaccinated ? The bad part of it is many of those vaccinated are now contracting it.

Being vaccinated isn’t stopping people from getting it. Maybe it’s making the symptoms less severe, but it’s definitely not ending covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this weekend California is back in the lead for most cases, and they have stricter requirements than Florida. Who know's when it will officially be over.
