I was having a discussion with a guy at work and he legitimately believes big pharma operates in the best interest of people. I recounted the greed and manipulation behind every other industry, to which he agreed on. But when I asked, "Why wouldn't the big wigs in big pharma use the same exact tactics to maximize their money and power as everyone else does?" His response was, "I dunno, I feel like they aren't like that and just want to help as many people as possible."
People don't understand that the people on the board of directors for these companies aren't doctors making an honest living trying to help people. They're investors trying to maximize their profits and power. If you replaced Pfizer with Chevron or McDonald's or Amazon, people would be raising hell at the manipulation going on. But because Pfizer is our lord and savior here to deliver us from this pandemic, there's no way the booster shots are being pitched for them to make more money, they just legitimately want to help.
It's all so exhausting.
