Not a relevant contention, and a fair bit of arrogance to suggest this is directly "big pharma's" fault. Might as well blame the fact that atoms bind into molecules and that every unfortunate circumstance on Earth or elsewhere is the fault of physicists and chemists.But I thought big pharma were the heroes of the covid crisis?! Why would they do this?!
