    LJ to me: Curious to me from other posts, that you appear to be in support of Big Pharma's vaccination program while posting this quote. Mystery abounds....

      LJ Although I think Big Pharma (at least on an unconscious level) would prefer not to eliminate disease, I do think BP will develop drugs to ameliorate disease and vaccines to control pandemics. And occasionally, they virtually eradicate diseases such as smallpox and polio. I do not hold myself to the impossibly high bar of perfectionism, but will often be happy with a half loaf rather than none.

      If you do not know Dr. Marcia Angell, she's a crucially important figure in the struggle for pharmaceutical sanity. Dr. Angell is also the first woman editor of the "New England Journal Of Medicine." https://cyber.harvard.edu/.../images/NYReviewBooksAngell.pdf

    • LJ: Wow. I was literally writing the word "sanity" when your post with " struggle for pharmaceutical sanity." came in. Bizarre. To me it is insane to give any credibility/ $$$$/power to an entity that is as "misguided" (I am being kind here) as BP. They do a whole lot of harm to a who lot of people. And reap huge rewards for their tricks.

      LJ: I pretty much agree with your critique except your refusal to give "any" thing to big pharma. Yes, in the main they are slime pigs -- not infrequenlty murderous slime pigs -- but I believe the devil must be given his due, or we tip into the more dangerous domain of perfectionism.
