“more concerned about making money . . . than the well being of the public.”

Not specifically defending Pfizer but it is naive to think any company is more concerned about the public than in making money. People understood that a long time ago when caveat emptor was the conventional wisdom. Then companies began doing public relations stunts, like politicians, celebrities, professionals of every ilk, and almost anyone else in the public eye. Virtue signaling has been rampant, especially in these days. But it is a mirage. People and companies are always first concerned with their own well-being and it really isn’t unfettered evil to do so. The evil is to promote the idea that you are publicly responsible when it is a blatant lie. As a matter of fact, we are best served when people and companies are transparent about their profit motives because such people and companies really aren’t qualified to know what is in the best interests of others. It is a silly notion to expect them to look after us first. Hypocrisy and pretending virtue is evil; looking after number one isn’t so long as it is open and apparent.
