The pharmaceutical industry always has been sleazy af. Americans are some of the most highly medicated humans on Earth, and yet some of the sickest. Gee, wonder if there might be any connection there? Something like 3/4 of all Americans who die from drugs each year, die from pharmaceuticals legally prescribed and taken according to a doctor's instructions. Dealers of illegal drugs routinely get sentenced to decades in prison and have all of their assets confiscated by the government, yet, pharmaceutical executives, who kill 3x as many Americans, never even get arrested, let alone prosecuted and incarcerated. Right now, Pfizer and Moderna have vaccines that older Americans need to increase our chances of surviving covid, in the event that we get sick. That doesn't mean the pharmaceutical companies are suddenly all wonderful. There's a revolving door between the CDC, FDA, and for-profit pharmaceutical companies. So, it's not surprising, at all, that the FDA is claiming it'll take them 75 years to produce all of the documents they have related to the approval of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine. They're covering for their friends still working in the industry. Gotta keep profits up, so they can all exercise their piles of stock options and become even more fabulously wealthy. We're still going to get a fifth vaccination for Covid sometime soon. Apparently, the shots work. No one in our family has gotten covid yet, as far as we know, anyway. Still not a fan of the pill pushers.
