I think it’s common knowledge that our politicians are owned by various interests including big pharma. I think it’s also common knowledge whether one is a Democrat or Republican at this point that all politicians do the bidding of their biggest donors. Again I just don’t see how this is a conspiracy.
Placing an artificial, it’ll never happen contingency on the table saying it stops being a conspiracy when politicians admit their owned by big pharma is kind of irrelevant in my opinion.
You are just playing with words.
Normal usage is that conspiracy is a secret plot hatched by (usually) powerful people.
It remains “secret” even if the “man of the street” suspects it is true but cannot prove it.
In addition the mass media is trying to “hide the ball” so they are a part of the conspiracy.
