Taken collectively, Big Pharma is an international criminal organization that does not hesitate to let people die today to make more money later. Example: when a medicine is banned from a country because its health authorities declare the side effects kill too many people, it has low efficacy, or is no better than older, less expensive medicines, the manufacturer never removes it from other countries where it is sold. In fact, they double down on marketing to recover their investment in that drug. Why? Because hedge funds have invested billions in Big Pharma and they order its CEOs to make more money each year. The long term result of that pressure---since drug developers have been largely unable to find any new useful medicines for decades---is the creation of new generations of old medicines with cosmetic molecular modifications which are deemed to be more efficient than the old drugs by the studies they themselves fund (peer review means virtually nothing when everyone involved is part of a closed system that makes its living from the same golden goose). Even more outrageous from a reality standpoint, they "invent" new illnesses, both physical and mental, by bribing experts and journalists to create an awareness of it in the collective mind of the public. Complaints that they take to their doctors who are 1) unwilling to bite the 900 pound gorilla hand that feeds them; and 2) loathe to lo$e a patient when no harm can be done by indulging him (plus he'll just go next door, anyway).
What does all that have to do with the current Corona situation?
Let's just say anyone who thinks the Big Pharma people haven't bee holding non-stop $trategy $e$$ion$ for the past few months is naive. And the character of those people has been selected for for decades. Amoral, greedy, and self-interested being a pretty good resume.
You do the math.
