In the past two years, there has been a significant shift in the way the pharmaceutical industry is viewed, with many people now seeing it as a savior during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, this perception ignores the long history of fraud, corruption, and criminality within the industry, as well as its focus on profits over people’s well-being. Despite this, the industry continues to wield a significant influence through lobbying efforts and advertising, and industry leaders like Pfizer’s CEO, Albert Bourla, have even gone so far as to label those who criticize the company’s vaccine narrative as “criminals.” It’s important to remember the history of the pharmaceutical industry and not blindly accept the narrative being presented.
