The Trial of Big Pharma, Part 1 — The Case Against It

The Trial of Big Pharma, Part 1

The Case Against It

The Last Wire

The opening arguments are over. The evidence now takes the stand.

Part 1 of The Trial of Big Pharma begins the structured examination of one of the most powerful industries in modern history. It traces how a system built to heal evolved into a global network of influence, profit, regulation, and dependency.

This is not a simple accusation. It is a case study in modern power.

Across hospitals, boardrooms, and regulatory agencies, medicine and money became tightly interwoven. The result is a system that saves lives at scale, but also raises difficult questions about incentives, transparency, and accountability.

Part 1 does not attempt to settle those questions. It establishes why they can no longer be ignored.

The central tension is simple: when healthcare becomes both a public necessity and a private enterprise, who ultimately holds the balance?

Every trial begins with evidence. This is where the record starts to form.

Thank you for yet another very good primer on a very difficult subject @Luis Gonzalez

My BIG beef with big pharma is their willingness to destroy cures that won't make them any money.

Yes, this is shaping up to be a brilliant treatment of this subject, a trademark of @Luis Gonzalez!  Can't wait for the next installment.  The reputation of Big Pharma took a pretty big hit with their behavior during the COVID era. 

That actually had an impact here at TBR!  At the time we were shopping for a new site to set up our data Server, and we were considering using Amazon Web Services.  Then, AWS announced a plan to punish their clients who allowed "COVID Disinformation."  We said "Bleep that!" so fast it would make your head swim!

I really dug into that subject, and while there’s a large amount of chatter about that in the social media/blogosphere about it, there is zero proof of anything of the sort.

The interaction between Big Pharma and government would take a whole new series to properly dissect.

The interaction between Big Pharma and government would take a whole new series to properly dissect.

Interaction between big government and ANY industry you care to name would be equally daunting. Mainly because of our Marxist income tax code.
