Do you trust pharmaceutical companies?


Not even a little bit.
The problem is, publicly traded corporations are 100% amoral, soulless, remorseless beasts. By nature, they have zero morals, in the same way that predatory animals have zero remorse about killing prey. They have one, single, overriding mission: to maximize profits for their shareholders. It's the law. Therefore, they are run by business majors, lawyers and sharks - pragmatic people who weigh profit and loss, not lives and suffering.
Pharmaceutical companies are in the business of developing new products, so they employ lots of scientists. They have developed some great stuff. But that stuff is worthless it it's not profitable.
The pharma industry is one of the very most powerful industries in the world and possibly the biggest lobby in the U. S. It has captured NGOs like the WHO and CDC, and government agencies like the FDA. So who's guarding the hen house?
Do they make some great products? Yes. But do I blindly trust the companies? Hell no!
Heck no! And people who trust them are sheep. Iâve had more positive experiences with natural stuff like Ashwagandha than the pharmaceutical crap the âexpertsâ like to promote.
Psychiatric âmedicineâ is perhaps the worst out of all the pharmaceuticals. Itâs full of all kinds of nasty side effects that can be permanently damaging in the long run.
pharmaceutical companies are a bunch of dummies who donât realize that sicknesses and disabilities will always be around, so even if they actually cured people there would still more people born with illnesses and disabilities to fix. Instead pharmaceutical companies should use all that money for research into medical technology that can actually help people.
No. 25 years ago, I was visiting my mother and she had this ridiculous amount of prescription medications. After a little inspection on my part, I learned that she only needed 2 of those. The rest were for side effects and they were e exponential. 3 prescriptions for the side effects of 1 medication, then 3 more for side effects of each of those side effect medications, and so on. A table FULL for 2 meds! That's when I realized the pharmaceutical industry was in it for the big bucks.
Just take a look at our TV. How many ads do we see for medications? "If you breathe and had a bowel movement today, ask your doctor about XYZ." Those ads are not free for those companies and they aren't putting them there because they want to help us.
Not to mention the ads from law firms that if you took such and such a drug and now have developed cancer call 800 You Are Screwed.
@Daniela1982 Ues, those too. Pharmaceutical companies are just chemical companies with a different title.
Ues = Yes
No I don't.. And yes that's💯 true.. The more "cured" people, the less need for medicine and the less profit they make.. The healthcare industry has become more about making money than healing the sick
ditto.
All lining up to make COVID boosters -- - - - - -

Yes, there are obviously many people who are motivated by such thoughts. Fortunately, there are also researchers who do not work for big pharma.
Philosophically I'm agnostic to pharmaceuticals past the fact they are overused, when they should be a last ditch effort.
Sleep
Water
Healthy diet
Exercise
Meditate
Don't spend much time around assholes
Covers the 95-99% of cases.
The last 1-5% might consider synthetic means. Like a steroid shot or something.
Most the healthiest people I know, myself included, were not on any meds. Get sick? Sleep, hydrate baseline. Maybe get more veggies. Go for a casual walk to cleanse your body and mind.
I don't trust them. I was sick in bed for many years and in pain. I was on some heavy pain medication and still in pain. I was taking at least 12 pills a day - still left sick and in pain for years! I ended up in a healthcare facility, they took me off all medicine and changed my diet and physical therapy each day. I was there for 6 months. I walked out of there pain free. I think some meds are made to keep you in pain and sick. Look how much money they must have made off me.
It's a business. Do you actually think those people care about you? No. The man is right and spoke the truth. These people have blood on their hands and they know it. So to answer your question. No. Why trust the pharmaceutical when again, like they said, your worth more dead than you are alive because every person ho is alive and healthy is one less person they cannot milk money from be it from your union, insurance companies or out of pocket. This is why they are trying so hard to get people to rely on the government with stimulus checks, unemployment, vaccine incentives, etc to get people programmed for a one world system, a one world government, currency, religion and that includes income and healthcare. It is sad that needed medications and treatment cost so much to the point that many people cannot afford it or mess dosages because of it. BUT at the same time, have so many toxins and poisons that is also slowly killing you.
"No" doesn't at all capture how profound my distrust of Big Parma is.
If I answer your question here, my next google search will link me to a lot of medical adds 😁.
I subdivide: there are indeed some companies that make reasonable products that make sense and are useful.
The problem is that in their top management level there are the money-heads whose own philosophy is greed. They have studied it; it's called business management, economy and such. They are "System".
We see other industries suffering the same way: scientists and engineers think out good solutions - and Elon Goldzweig and friends pervert anything into a cash fountain to an extent that the product itself in the end becomes an irking side activity to them.
I can't trust such people. But partly, it's our own fault: do we do anything to stop them?
no, incredible admission if true. this is why I don't donate money to research cancer and such at the checkout line and bike rides "to research and cure cancer". That's just job funding. Bull crap, they will never cure anything. Diabetes as well. I'd give $ to promote healthy life style, promote organic foods and improving soil quality. But companies... no, it's about money. why would they cut their profit margin? they won't... doesn't fit the business plan.
Both parents died of miserable cancer... caused by smoking. STOP smoking and breathe fresh air! There, I just healed so many people, send me $100,000 for the improvement in society.
Do your own research to heal most issues out there...
Regardless of what that idiot said, pharma companies invest billions to develop drugs, most donât pan out. It is very hard to do and very costly. And hey have a right to charge for the drugs. The drugs we have today that change peoples lives - we would not have them without pharma companies. My dad had rheumatoid arthritis and was in agony and could barely move. He got the right drugs and it allowed him to fully function and feel normal again. I didnât care what it cost, this was amazing. No natural herbs or homeopathic solution would be able to do anything for him. No I donât work for a pharma company. But I appreciate the result and without them my dad would have suffered tremendously. The vaccine for Covid was developed in 6 months by pharma companies. So all you hating on pharma companies, wait till you have something happening to you or a loved one and a pharma drug saves you. Maybe donât take the drug then so you can âteach them a lessonâ and go ahead and die and suffer.
"If you took the drug blah blah and have contracted cancer, contact the law group and get the compensation you deserve."
I do find it unusual that people often draw the connection between pharmaceutical companies making money, and the demand for their products, but don't seem to apply this line of reasoning to things like police or health care workers. For instance, is it not equally reasonable that a police officer would want crime to continue because that's how they get paid? Or that a nurse doesn't want you to eat healthy because she wants to see you again for $$$? People need to understand that there will be profit over the pain of others in various forms. If there isn't, nobody will be there to help you at all.
Pharmaceutical companies aren't the ones giving you the disease in the first place, there'll always be a fresh supply of customers for them no matter how many they cure. The reason they don't push harder for cures is they calculate if the cost of development is going to be more than the profit,
Yes, because drug companies don't make money off healthy people. The sad thing is that a lot of people could be cured but that doesn't make them money but prolonging their pain and misery does.
Now that said, how can we trust these vaccines coming out for Covid from these drug companies seeing as they don't want to cure you. Also notice we have to take booster shots now? When will it end?
No, for pretty much the same reasons you've listed.
Covid is no different. Do you honestly think that those companies ever intend on putting down their latest milk cow? Expect a new booster shot, generously provided for by taxpayer-funded payoffs that you won't ever see, every 6-12 months from now on.
Such a dire outlook. Get that tinfoil hat on so at least people understand you're gullible and not just absolutely stupid. LOL
Reminds me of the salesman warning - "If you're gonna drink your lunch, at least make it scotch and not vodka, so your customers realize you're drunk and not stupid." :)
I have nothing to say whether i trust the pharmacies or not but they didn't screw me over. I have no reason to hold anything against them.
if I'm sick acute or chronically, i won't waste my time and so i simply go to the reputable private Healthcare facility and pay with my own hard earned money to get what i want: cured, treated, fixed, whatever i ask for. So far i wasn't disappointed and I'm satisfied. They get my money and i get their high quality medical services. that's an excellent deal from my perspective. I don't want to live even one single day being sick. I value my health more than what commoners call "greed" from the medics. I support it. There is no other choice but to suffer.
Nope not at all big pharma is only interested in creating lifetime customers not curing anything as curing doesn't have enough profit ! Why cure someone when you can have them take a pill or injection just to live? Every year big pharma invents more illnesses so they can sell a new drug
Most people have responded with 'No, I dont trust them' mostly with very strong feeling, so why then did you all take the vaccine?
Obviously some of you will be able to say 'I didn't take the vaccine' but I strongly suspect that this does not apply to most.
Nope, for a few personal reasons but a large part has to do with things like sponsorships with medications that either hikes up prices or removes them all together
To an extent I trust them. They are a business though they are trying to make money like everyone else. Look at how much money goes to cancer a year. Why cure it when you can treat it and keep making money. Now I'm not saying I believe they have a surefire cure but I do trust most of the products they end up putting out. But there is probably a bit they haven't.
erm... as is the case for doctors and mechanics as well.
He's not saying anything wrong, just not telling the proper truth.
I agree with him 100%. this is the main reason why marijuana is illegal and why there are so many hazardous chemicals in our food that causes cancer and all these other diseases that supposedly only they can treat
Thee must be some truth in that.
They produce medication like oxycontin that get people addicted, then develop a treatment for constipation caused by opioid abuse. Was I the only one that saw the irony in that?
I trust them about as much as I do the Juarez drug cartel, or MS-13. They were coopted by David Rockefeller long ago and are nothing but a tool of the genocidal globalist cartel now.
No kidding, way do you think they are pushing vaccines so hard
That should be why
Pharmaceutical companies aren't charities. They are run for profit. Am I happy with their price gouging activities? Absolutely not. But they have made astonishing breakthroughs in medicine.
Update: If you're not sick, don't go to the doctor. That way you stay drug free.
I donât trust most big companies. But at least today theyâre trying to be more socially aware.
With that logic we shouldnât trust doctors either. At some point we have to acknowledge them as a necessary evil.
No. I always am critical and if I'm gonna take a medicine, I'll make damn sure that it helps noticably. If it doesn't, i don't take it.
I trust no one. Especially not those that have allready made it clear they take no legal responsibility.
Don't think for a moment there's no reason why some are pushing to make certain treatment mandatory.
Big Pharma is the LEAST trustworthy of Wall Street.
Very ironic that the same Leftist loonies who were out there in 2008 for OCCUPY WALL STREET protests, now give a PASS to the Big Pharma sector
As much as I trust someone who prioritizes money over health.
A friend of mine refused covid-19 vaccine because of the lack of trust in these companies and the government authoroties that aprove and survale the medical industry.
The liberals hated big Pharma until Covid hit.
Now the Libs love Big Pharma because thinking people have questions about the vaccine.
Libs hate people who are able to think for themselves.
No. They're more interested in making money than helping you heal. A few of them have also put nasty stuff in their drugs!!
Maybe when they stop making money from their products and causing pain, suffering and death⌠No. Not even then. I was raised holistic and remain holistic.
i have not been to the doctor IN 4 YEARS and i have never had the flu and i rarley EVER get sick. So i trust myself
Don't trust them in the slightest. They're corrupt money grabbing evil bastards - every single one of them and they're responsible for more misery in this world than anything else.
in general i don't need to trust them. i have a system of checks and balances and barring that i have other people who will go first to take the stuff and i can watch how it affects them
Yes, after a university lecture by a pharmacologist on a healthcare course, I can confirm this is what they also said.
It was always like that. Our medicine in the u. s is not preventative. If you want to be healthy and well you have to put it into your own hands.
Nope. It's not my job to trust the seller.
Do insurance companies trust you? Nope.
I trust pharmaceutical science. Pharmaceutical companies? Not so much.
No, because they want to make as much money as possible and they don't care how they do it.
I do not take any pharmaceutical drugs, and hopefully will never have to.
I have no trust in those companies.
Big Pharma never cured ANYONE. They deliberately keep you sick by only covering up your symptoms.
Hell no. It's a businesses purpose to be profitable and pharmaceutical companies make profit keeping people sick.
For the most part I trust him. I certainly trust them a whole lot more than I trust internet doctors.
Yeah itâs true, think about why they wonât cure certain things like herpes or aids or maybe even cancer, they make so much with medication that maintains it but never cures it
Not really, as the money is in lifelong treatment, not cures.
I trust results and research. Not the corporate assholes.
Surprised he said that? Anyone with a half a brain can see that.
Yes I do trust them, because I'm a pharmacist.
No they are the worse of the worst
That comes as no surprise to anyone. We already suspect that. I trust them to the point of taking some of the Rx drugs
Healthcare is fake, Nigeria has the same life expectancy as Europe without malaria
I don't trust profit mixed with medicine.
Not really, they make profit and make billions.
Kind of, itâs hit and miss
Nope only certain antibiotics
A satisfied customer.
Oh Fuck No!
