I apologize for a rather hurried post, but I saw this today and thought it worth sharing, as it's the most honesty I've seen from Pfizer yet.
A little honesty from Pfizer goes a long way--I couldn't stop chuckling at this one. Please be sure to watch through the end.
twitter.com...
They must know that if people still support Pfizer after the past few years (and the past few months in particular) they would put up with anything.
This one is for the ride or die with Pfizers; the Pharma Bros!
So Pfizer has nothing to do with the discovery of antibiotics,
but you're somehow conflating the two and using that as a base of your argument.

There is no argument, as the world would be a far worse place to exist without modern-day medicine and pharmaceutical products, and only very stupid people think otherwise.
There is an argument because you're glossing over what the OP really meant. The world could do without crooked pharmaceutical companies. Or at least the crooked and deadly aspects they have.
Of course they're not being crooked when they make aspirins.
So you are insinuating that life on earth for the millennia prior to big pharma was hell on earth?
If I read arts, literature, listen to symphonies…and that’s just “Western” culture…you had Asian culture with beauty and love as well as war…all cultures had those before pharma. And they indicate that life was both lovely and difficult.
Imagine life as indigenous peoples prior to the Western influences…don’t the historians suggest it was like Eden in North America?
I don't agree with you, and you exaggerate pharma’s influence on happiness and love for the masses.
