- Big Pharma prioritizes financial gain over saving lives, discontinuing unprofitable medicines even when patients desperately need them, causing preventable deaths worldwide
- Pharmaceutical companies artificially create scarcity by withdrawing established medicines, then reintroducing them at higher prices to maximize profits and control markets
- Despite regulations, pharmaceutical companies consistently overpower governments in negotiations, setting arbitrary prices that citizens and health care systems cannot afford or challenge
- Critical medications for cancer, allergies, and rare diseases become unavailable due to supply manipulation, forcing doctors to ration treatments using wartime triage methods
- To avoid pharmaceutical dependency, focus on optimizing natural health through avoiding processed oils, improving gut health, reducing toxin exposure, and enhancing detoxification
Medicine is supposed to save lives, but this isn’t even the focus of Big Pharma. Instead, it’s in the business of making money. This is what the documentary “Big Pharma — How Profits Kill Patients” by ENDEVR shows.1
One of the primary themes highlighted in this film is the shortage of medications worldwide. According to the narrator, “Today, there are stock shortages of medicine even in rich countries.” As seen in the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals experienced shortages in medicine, equipment, and other items medical professionals need to treat patients.
Even worse, this is still happening today — Patients are dying because they’re not getting the medicine they need. The reason? Big Pharma discontinued their production because they’re “unprofitable.”
What Happens When a Drug Stops Making Money?
As noted by the narrator, “health is an international business.” Hospitals around the world rely on medical devices and medicines to help treat patients. However, supply issues are now a prominent problem.
- Medicines are now getting harder to come by — Yannis Natsis, a policy manager at European Public Health Alliance, said that despite the massive profits of Big Pharma, shortages are occurring:
“In the past, it was only a problem that had to do with southern Europe or Eastern Europe and now, it touches upon even the richest and wealthiest EU member states in the west. And this is why this issue has gained a bit more prominence.”
- Big Pharma always wins — While being bound by laws, drug manufacturers always seem to have an upper hand on governments and doctors because they’re too important. As one expert noted, “In the arm wrestling between the pharmaceutical industry and governments, the pharmaceutical industry invariably wins.”
- Priorities are always on the moneymakers — In Mexico, 1,600 have died due to medicine shortages. Yet, Viagra is always available, demonstrating how Big Pharma values its different consumer groups.
- Digging deeper into the supply issue — Globalization has allowed health institutions to purchase medicines from around the world, but this is causing pressure among buyers when faced with shortages. As one hospital pharmacist explains:
“We’ve stopped being supplied with numerous molecules and medicines. This concerns 69 products at the moment and we’ve been faced with 17 new ones over the last three weeks. If I take a list of molecules today, we have shortages of completely classic medicines.”
Right, how many billions were made by the pharmaceutical companies with the corona 19 virus ?
Anyone else remember THALIDOMIDE?
It caused horrible birth defects or death to newborns.
