Dying for Drugs - True Vision TV
But it is not just in the Third World that ethics of drug testing are being called into question. In Canada, we meet a world expert in the blood disease thalassemia who was removed from the programme she ran at Toronto University and legally gagged from discussing her findings after she raised doubts about a drug she was testing.

I think its quite clear they are not in this game for the goodness of their heart.
But picture a world without access to modern medical health care and pharmaceuticals and that really would be hell on earth for a significant number of people.
Unfortunately, and just like with the bankers, fascinated with money and profit, these bastards are a necessary evil in today's world.

When AaarghPharmies comes in to defend the smallpox vaccine we can officially confirm they’re employed by a Pharma company
And when Homeophathycheck comes in to denounce big pharma we can officially confirm that they're being paid by big-chiropractic.
What's an affiliate link for kale smoothies worth these days?
It's a reformatting of an existing product, making these things is really just a matter of throwing money at them. Big pharma can do these things quickly if it's topical and they think that they can make some money out of it. It's not that difficult form a scientific perspective, it's just not profitable.
Just look at Zicca, nobody bothered to make a vaccine for it until somebody realized that it was heading for Florida, where standing water in golf courses and private pools would allow mosquito to infect affluent areas.
You're right that it's about money, but wrong about it being a conspiracy.
It's simply capitalism.
but yes, there are times these companies step over the line into bad ethics and even down right illegal practices.
What about the price they charge?
Did you see how the price is outside normal peoples price range (the south Korea bit in documentary)? They are literally dying for drugs because the drugs are there but they don't have the money.
it's ok for some at the moment.....some people don't even have to pay a prescription charge.....they get their pills absolutely free (Scotland and Wales).
