Big Pharma cured small pox in the US. Cured malaria world wide until that nut case that wrote Silent Spring and the governments banned DDT. In the 3rd world millions of children die of malaria now that would be living if DDT were allowed to be used.and her thesis was build on a lie of thin eagle eggs. What a joke Rachael Carson was and those that follow her line of thinking....
If you have children I am sure you get them their polio, diphtheria and pertussis medication. Those 3 are baby killers...When I was young there wasn't a Salk or Sabin vaccine for polio. You want to know horrible, research the effects of Polio.
Don't get the idea I think pharacuticals are all OK. Lives are saved, but I do believe that many medications cost too much and you can thank the government for making it so difficult to develop new medications. The food and drug administration are a joke many times....
If you get sick, don't go to the doctor, you will be supporting *big pharma*. Just hope what you have will not kill you and tough out your sickness alone..

I am all for medicine. I am completely against the big-government/big-corporate medical complex that is a cancer unto itself.
